Missy’s on the Marsh is a classic 1950s coastal cottage completely restored in 2007 and filled with bright, cheerful beach colors and local artwork. You'll love the rocking-chair screened porch, perfect for your morning coffee or afternoon beverage while watching the setting sun. The big back deck on the edge of the marsh comes with a picnic table, grill and lots of comfortable seating. You'll enjoy the restful marsh views, great for bird watching! The cottage is pet friendly with a fenced front yard. Missy's is an easy walk or bike ride to the public 6th Street beach.
This cottage has three bedrooms and two full baths, a bright living room with lots of seating and electric fireplace, a kids play area with games, puzzles, books and videos; a fully equipped family kitchen and laundry room with washer/dryer, iron and ironing board. You'll have cable TV/DVD/VCR and a high-speed internet connection and Wi-Fi. It's equipped for the beach with towels and beach toys. Missy's is air conditioned with ceiling fans in every room, including the front screened porch. Ceramic tile floors and white gauzy drapes in every room complete the coastal look. Throw open the doors and windows and let the summer breeze off the marsh drift through the cottage.
Tybee Island, located 18 miles east of Savannah, is a small barrier island with a wide, 3-mile long beach that's backed by sea oat-covered sand dunes and is perfect for sunbathing, shelling, people-watching and playing in the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. The island's south-end pier and pavilion is a splendid venue for strolling above the ocean sipping a beverage, fishing, or listening to the music of the live bands.
Visitors are lured to Tybee for its low-key recreation and relaxation, but there are plenty of family activities. You can climb to the top of the historic Tybee Island Lighthouse (dated 1773) and visit its museum to learn about the history of Georgia's oldest and tallest lighthouse. Fort Pulaski offers guided tours and daily cannon firings. The Marine Science Center has lots of info and exhibits on the local wildlife, including the endangered sea turtles, which nest here in the fall. You can rent bikes and ride along the surf, or take a jaunt out to Fort Pulaski along the new Savannah Riverfront bike path. Kayaks are available to paddle through the marshes. And if you love to fish, there are daily charters that will take you deep sea fishing.
While Tybee is a resort complete with restaurants, bars with live music, art galleries and beach shops, it's an atmosphere considerably more laid-back than that of glitzier, larger beach towns to the north and south. And foodies know Paula Deen's Uncle Bubba's Seafood Kitchen is only 15 minutes away on Wilmington Island and it's only a 25-minute drive to Paula Deen's famous Lady and Son's Restaurant in Savannah.
