About Malinda Urvant
Fred and I are both transplants from the East Coast who met in Atlanta. Our dream was to return to the Atlantic Ocean and in 1994 we began a search for the perfect spot. I had been retired from Dupont Corp. after 20 years and Fred was ready to make a career change. Our search ended on Tybee in the Historic Back River District. My mother moved from Canada and settled on Tybee with us and my son and grandchildren settled in the city of Savannah.
Malinda Urvant purchased this Condo in 1995
Why Malinda Urvant chose Tybee Island
Tybee was the perfect little beach city, quiet, picture perfect and so small that no one lived more than a few blocks from the beach. Housing values had not exploded yet and you were able to get a good value in a fixer upper. ** fast forward almost 20 years** Tybee is still the perfect little beach city and has retained it's 1950's atmosphere.
What makes this Condo unique
You only have to spend a few hours on Tybee to know that this Island is a one of a kind spot and be captured by it's unique culture. Close to Savannah and activities; Tybee offers a peaceful contrast. A calm, quiet and peaceful atmosphere is abundant. Walking the beach, riding bikes and watching sunsets is complimented by the generous and friendly nature of Tybee's local population who feel just grateful that they are able to reside on this little piece of paradise.

Great Romantic Get-A-Way
We were celebrating our Anniversary & found this Unit to be perfect! Charmingly decorated with an awesome hot tub, comfy bed and perfect little patio to relax in. It's a little 'gem' in Tybee Island.
Thank you Deborah for your great review. We try to make the Herons' Nest a perfect little hideaway for that special celebration. Thank you again and hope to see you in the future.

Great Couples Retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed our 21st anniversary getaway to Heron's Nest. I loved the decoration of the bedroom and the porch/outdoor area. The bed was so comfy that we did not want to leave it in the mornings. We loved the close proximity of the cottage to everything we needed: grocery store, restaurants, and the beach. We parked our car the first night and never moved it until the day we left. Although this was a downstairs unit from the owner, you would never know. They very much respected our privacy.
So many great highlights from our trip: Mornings spent at the pier, evenings spent singing and practicing my guitar on the inviting porch, & nighttimes spent in the hot tub. All of that was great, but then we were allowed a late checkout, so we had another bonus day at the beach! Just completely unexpected and another amazing opportunity to enjoy more of Tybee! Thank you so very much!
Some suggestions I might make would be to update the kitchen and livingroom area like the bedroom & bathroom. Also, a futon or larger loveseat to accommodate two people comfortably since it is more of a love nest. Honestly, we spent more time outside on the lovely porch enjoying the greenery and the quiet while making music instead of staying in the room.
We enjoyed Tybee, its residents, and this place so much. Thank you for helping to make our 21st anniversary one of the best ever!
April, great review and we really appreciate the suggestions you made. We have taken them to heart and are making some changes to the living area to incorporate a more inclusive transition between the bedroom and living room.
We invite you to please return and see what changes we have made in the Herons' Nest.
