    We love this cottage, it was our third time there. It wasn't as clean this time, and we reported some damage we found.

    Check in was easy, even though we were reached out to the day after about our place being ready via text. The layout itself is a bit odd, but it didn’t bother us. The bathroom in the floor is very very weak, and needs replacing immediately. I did reach out to the rental agency. It looks painted over and the paint is already weathering away. Husband spotted a nail popped up in the bathroom as well. We wore shoes when we ventured in that room. The bunkbeds were a hit with our kids. Some of our linens did have some yellow permanent staining but you could tell they had been laundered. Location was awesome, we walked to the beach most of the time but to get around town we rented from the golf cart pros. One of the cabinets glass windows were missing in the kitchen. There’s a keurig, silverware, cups, etc. The home is on a small lot and we could see our neighbors very closely when they mowed. I wish there was a curtain on the front door window for privacy. The neighborhood is quiet during the day. I do think there should be an handrail on the steps for older visitors. We received a nice welcome tote from the rental agency. Overall, this place is very promising and has the basics of what you need. A place to stay (for singles, couples, or small family) for a couple of nights for a great price. It has a lot of potential and I loved the vintage aspects. It just needs a little updating and TLC.

    Floor in bathroom is very weak and cracking around toilet. Needs work now. Looks like it .has been painted over to conceal bad wood. Everything else was very good for the price paid would stay here again if that was tepaired.

    This was a great rental. The location was ideal, as I did not have a car. Was convenient and quiet. The house is a nice beach house, with a good layout as well.

    The only thing wrong with our stay was that it wasn’t longer! The home was in a fantastic area, within walking distance to the beach and the strip! The home was clean, cozy, welcoming and just perfect for our family. We will definitely be reserving another trip at the Whelk Come Inn in Tybee!

    Perfectly appointed and adorable bungalow. Side yard with patio, grill and separate laundry/bathroom-house added to the space. Wonderful kitchen area. The owners thought of everything to make this place perfect for a week at the beach!

    Precious old house with private yard. Perfect for our little family to unwind for a week. We will seek out this property for a future visit.

    This home is very old and outdated, was not clean at all upon arrival. Bad smell the whole time. It's dark and closed floor plan with unfinished concrete floors. Mosquitos were flying around in the home the whole trip. We got eaten alive even though we made sure to close the doors quickly.
