Historic Tybee Cottage, 100 Steps to the Dunes, Private Beach Access

This home has an authentic charm, hard to find in Tybee. It is also much larger than the website conveys. 8 of us fit here comfortably.

We really enjoyed Tybee Island! The house was so close to beach access! Nice neighborhood that seemed safe & family friendly. There were definitely quirks with the house, but we knew some of that going in. The host shares a document with lots of helpful info including restaurants & grocery stores, etc. The kitchen had enough cookware, plates, cups, utensils, etc, along with cooking oil & spices. The DR has a great large table! There was seating on the small upper deck, & more options in the backyard. The lawn was a bit long. The bathrooms were small, being an older home. The downstairs shower was small & short, & the slatted door was broken. The upstairs shower is older, & the sink has nowhere to put anything down (even soap). There is some small, shallow wall shelving nearby & some space in a large cabinet over the toilet. We wiped dust/ hair off both before using. The downstairs beds were comfortable for 2 of our group. Oddly, there was a partially open window with an extension cord running outside. The downstairs half bath is through the laundry room. Both were nice to have, though it did seem like more of a basement space. The other 2 of our group slept in the interior room upstairs. The bed was soft & comfortable. The upstairs rooms are small, but adequate. Main areas are clean. Some areas needed attention (shelves, nightstands, kitchen drawers, some less common areas, etc). Overall, we enjoyed our stay, the lovely beach, & we had great weather in early April!

We had a great stay for Pirate Festival. If you love old beach cottages you'll love this house. Very convenient to the beach as well and we loved that we could bring our dogs

Owner was very helpful! We were here during a hurricane and he did everything he could to accommodate us even though we toughed it out. Would recommend renting from him to anyone. Location was so close to the beach and with kids this was a huge PLUS!

This beautiful old home is in a wonderful location on Tybee. We enjoyed our morning walks to enjoy coffee on the beach and the easy access to our favorite part of the island. The house itself is comfortable! Slept very well and the beds were comfy. The cleanliness of the home on the other hand was quite disappointing. It was clear that the home had not been thoroughly cleaned in quite a while considering the dust under the beds and dressers. The bathrooms were not that impressively clean either. Our son and his family used the bottom floor of the home and had several issues with broken beds and unsafe spindles on the staircase. The handyman lives on the property and did remedy the situation temporarily but works needs to be done to get this home up to par in both cleaniness and safety before I would recommend to anyone. The owner did give a small compensation for the broken bed and the caretaker was very kind on the plus side:))

Had a fabulous time on Tybee Island. Perfect location, super quiet neighborhood, short walk to the beach manageable for most ages. Less than a half mile to downtown shops and food! Lots of beach cottage charm with a little quirkiness. Would definitely stay again.

Our group of teens LOVED this property. Plenty of space for the girls upstairs and adults downstairs. We loved the large dining room table--plenty of room for our entire party of eight to sit together comfortably. The property was so well stocked with everything you could need! The best part was the short easy walk to the beach and to shops nearby. We really appreciated all the beach chairs and beach gear at the house so we didn't have to make space in our packing for those bulky items. You really just need to pack your clothing, basic toiletries, and beach towels! Plenty of k-cups, basic condiments in the fridge, Pam for cooking, and all the cooking tools/pans/dishware you could need. Tons of games, books, and the foosball table downstairs! Amazing property!

Great

This beach house was ideal for our family. Our dog enjoyed the fenced in backyard- the beach is just a short walk. The piano was a delightful surprise. Kitchen well appointed- the spacious dining room and extra long table served our family well. Having a separate floor on the ground level gave our niece the privacy and quiet needed for their 3 year old. The caretaker’s cottage is on the property, wonderful couple! And the extra lot for parking cars- Hope to return someday!

The property is beautifully located on a quiet street, only a few steps to the beach. The check in process/host was very easy to work with. There were lots of towels for use which was nice, along with a washer and dryer. The home is older (as noted in the listing) — but slightly cluttered and some of the spaces are a little awkward/cramped. Ultimately the location is great and as stated the host was very good at communicating.
