Tybee Island, Georgia
Just 100 yards from the beach, and right in the center of Tybee Island, The Blue Crab House is exactly where you want to be to enjoy all that this bustling beach town has to offer. The kitchen has been recently renovated, with ample parking for four cars, there is a fenced-in backyard, a hot tub, and a heated salt water pool (***please see notes on heating the pool), all private and at your disposal. Once you park, you can walk anywhere--so put away the car keys, everything you need for a great beach vacation is at your fingertips!

This is a Single Family House...don't let the two doors throw you! It is an old-time beach solution to coming home sandy; direct access to one of the bathroom showers from the outside. There is also an outdoor shower in the back. But make no mistake, this is a stand alone, single family house that will be completely private for you should you choose our place.
***If you are joining us during a cooler month, the pool heater brings the temperature up but it does not make the water hot. Please understand that water can be made about 20 degrees over the average ambient temperature, and that it can only get to about 85 degrees at its warmest. This is a lot better than 40 degrees, believe me, but the water is not hot. There is the hot tub for that!
On the Subject of Golf Carts: We have no problem with you renting one if you are able, but as the house is on the beach side of Butler/Highway 80, you can't always rent a golf cart from the local renters. This is because there are specific rules about where you can cross on Butler given traffic and season. However, as you as so close to everything, and especial close to the beach, we hope this won't be an issue.
We loved the location. An easy walk down to the ocean, over to the store, or into town. On the beach, a stroll to the pier was easy - be sure to bring a bucket to collect shells. We loved the pool and hot tub at the house!!! All the amenities needed were provided!
After staying on Tybee last week at a different rental, this was a breath of fresh air. The CLEAN heated pool & hot tub were just what we needed. Safe & maintained after a previous weekend with a dirty hot tub that we never got to use because the host was so unconcerned abt its maintenance & never finished putting the chemicals in. We never would have wasted 3 nights had we been wise to the state of things there. Now we'll know who we can count on if we wish to return. Thank you for preserving that getaway spirit! We were abt to go back home rejuvenated. Thank you for the care you put in. It matters & we see it. Much love!
Awesome property, awesome location. Jack is a superb host that was able to answer all of my questions in a timely manner. Had zero issues with the house. Very clean and neat. Backyard/pool area is great! Highly recommend staying at this property.
The pictures of the ‘Crab House’ weren’t exactly accurate. Although the house was very clean, and well kept (pool and hot tub included), the accommodations do not match with the occupancy we brought. We had 6 people…4 adults and 2 teens. The pictures of the second bath does not do it justice…and justice not in a good way. The second bathroom is extremely small. The shower was made for a hobbit/midget/elf. I’ve never used a shower in which I were unable to even move (bending down is next to impossible for a regular sized adult. This bathroom is really a half bath. Also, the house is rather dated. Jack the owner seems like a great guy. My only suggestion to him would be to do a renovation to the home. Definitely renovate that second bath (a real shower would go a long way for comfort), update the cabinetry, new carpet in the bedrooms, and new blankets/comforter…just a thought. As for the location, it’s on a corner lot right on the main strip…there were a couple of “drunks stumbling by” that was a tad worrisome, and comical at the same time. The walk to the beach isn’t too bad…5 mins tops. That was a plus. All in all, it wasn’t a bad stay. The amenities were nice…pool, hot tub, fire pit, backyard with seating for picnicking. October weather in Tybee was really pleasant, and the crowds were nonexistent. The surf was too rough though (bummer). Trips to Savannah for sightseeing was also a plus! That was less than 30 mins away. All in all, it was a good getaway. We had fun.
Great place close to everything had a great time and so did my family
What a perfect location for our girls trip! House was a 5 minute walk to the beach and a 10-15 minute walk to the pier and shops. Really great gathering spaces at the house - both an inside dining table and outside table by the pool -where we all could sit comfortably. We loved having a backyard with pool! It was the perfect size for relaxing in! Unfortunately the hot tub was not working when we were there - but it did not ruin our trip by any means. I would highly recommend this house and cant wait to go back!
Our annual girl's trip of 7 friends (from across the US) spent three nights at the Crab House on Tybee Island (a location new to us in every way!), and we had a great time. The house is in an excellent central spot that feels walkable to any place you'd want to see (even the lighthouse if you're into a little workout). You can't beat the convenience of the grocery store across the street. We used both the hot tub and the pool, which were clean and ready to go when we arrived. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to make dinner one night-- some starter spices, plenty of pots and pans and dishes, etc. The house may cater a bit more to a family, given the bunk beds and sleeper chair, and I suppose the bathrooms may be a bit tight for seven women to get ready in, but we did know that going in since it was in another review and was still doable. Captain Jack is a super cool host and you'll have a great time.
Definitely coming back to the blue crab house!
Our stay was exactly as we expected. The house had a very large communal space we spent most of our time in. Additionally, we loved the large backyard and hot tub/pool! The single complaint I have is the size of the second bathroom in the hallway. It was very small (included an extra small shower) but 100% got the job done! Sharing for those reading who care about this sort of thing with a house this sized. Host was great and very communicative. We would definitely come back!!
Location was awesome!!! Home was clean and had everything we had needed to enjoy our stay. Wish we could have stayed longer but will definitely be staying here again.
It was a great location for us. We enjoyed the home. AC worked great and pool was great. So close to the grocery store and the walkway to the beach was great. Bathrooms were a bit tight for the six of us but we were very comfortable. I would recommend it.
Blue Crab House was perfect for our family week at the beach. The location was great…..no crossing busy streets, close to the beach and within walking distance of shops and eating establishments. Having linens provided was a real plus and we appreciated the toiletries as well in the beachy bags. The arrangement of the living, dining and kitchen made it easy to spread out a little and still stay connected. The pool was a real hit especially with our young ones. Jack was a superb host! We would definitely stay there again!!
Great location, very close to the beach and restaurants. The house was clean and host was attentive. We had plenty of space for our group of 5 loved having the pool.
The little Blue Crab House is close enough to walk to the beach, and right across the road from IGA!! My family of six and an infant stayed here comfortably and really enjoyed our pool time!! You have everything you need when you stay here. Our first time to Tybee Island and staying at the Blue Crab House and as a memory we won’t forget! Thank you for the amazing communication from the host also;)
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The property was clean for the most part, and as advertised very close to the beach. Overall all I would recommend this property to others as well as stay in again. Feedback on my review - There was a little sand and leaves at the bottom of the pool. Additionally we couldn’t get the living room tv to work.
Jack was awesome to deal with. The location of the house is perfect and everything is as listed.
We loved spending time here with our 3 kids. We brought our bikes but everything is in walking distance. The kids favorite part of the whole trip was night swimming!
