Why the Owner Chose Tybee Island
Tom and I met on the West Coast and always wanted a home near the beach, but were unable to pay LA prices. And hated LA traffic. When Tom took a job here in Savannah, we discovered Tybee Island and realized it was just 15 minutes from Downtown Savannah, and we loved the laid back Artsy, non-resort kind of feel. So, we looked for three years for the perfect piece of property - well, the perfect piece in our price range and in the location we wanted. We finally ended up buying a woman's back yard. We had the yard divided into a legal lot. The woman who sold us the lot, still lives behind our home. She purchased the lot our house sits on - 30 years ago for $1500.00! (She made a good investment!)
When we were looking for a bit of land to build on Tybee Island, we knew we might want to use the home as a vacation rental someday, and we wanted to be close to the beach, yet away from the noise. Close to the shops, yet away from the crowds. Within walking distance to all the eating places, and especially close to The Breakfast Club! This lot, seemed to have it all, Location, Location, Location, plus, it was the only lot we could find that didn't look into someone elses house - our lot looks onto a 60 foot tall live Oak tree. And OK, I confess, it was the only lot for sale on the whole darn street. So we bought it - this was back when they were giving construction loans with no money down. smile.
The Unique Benefits at this Beach House
The large spacious upstairs. The pool. The Elevator. The double convection ovens. The instant hot water. The four bathrooms, each bedroom having it's own bath! The pale yellow bamboo floors. The six burner cooktop with the pop up vent. The loft feel with tons of windows and natural light. The FOUR large decks - two off each floor. The Master Suite - as fine - as any we've seen in a vacation rental. Location, Location, Location.
You will step out the door of our home and walk across the street and look to the left 1/2 block to the corner of 15th and Butler, where the WORLD FAMOUS BREAKFAST CLUB is located. You'll see a line i

Owner's Map of Tybee Island
Owner Marsha Marks is an author of several books (www.marshamarks.com) and has been happily married since 1987 to the man of her dreams, Tom. They have one daughter, Mandy Marks. The Marks family saved faithfully and invested in the stock market heavily for 22 years to be able to afford to build their dream home: 1509 Lovell Ave, on Tybee Island. The year the home was finished, the stock market collapsed and the Marks were unable to sell their older home. The Marks then decided using their dream home a few weeks a year, was better than losing the home. So, they enlisted the help of www.vrbo.com - pricing their nightly and weekly stays, below the competition and were able to book completely full for the year. Marsha Marks finds she now loves running a vacation rental. "I love it when people rave about the home! I especially love it, when they say, The website www.tybeeislandjoy.com doesn't do it justice...it is much nicer in person." Marsha Marks is still writing, and hopes to one day write the Great American Novel.
