About this property

Experience Serenity on Tybee Island! One of the finest homes on Tybee!!!

Serenity is one of the most spectacular homes on the North end of Tybee Island. A short walk to the beach or the Tybee Lighthouse, this 5500 square foot home includes six bedrooms all with adjoining full baths, and an additional 2000 square feet of porches and a one-of-a-kind roof deck with a fully equipped outdoor BBQ grill/stove, hot tub, and sun deck. The house has an elevator serving all living levels as well as an accessible equipped bathroom. Learn about the historical aspects of Tybee Island, Fort Screven, and nearby Fort Pulaski during your stay-- the entire home is decorated with hundreds of photos, engravings and art cataloging the history of the area for the past 200 years.

We would like to encourage you to contact us with any questions, and view the information and photos posted here to learn more about Serenity. We are sure you will find our home to be one of the most exceptional homes you have ever seen, and we would be happy to accommodate you and your guests for a very special and memorable visit as you experience Serenity on Tybee Island.

The bedrooms consist of two identical masters- equipped with a king size bed with assorted pillows. The two master bedrooms are all very large, with a bay window and views of the Tybee Lighthouse, a table with two chairs, two large dressers, alarm clock, and CAT-5 access in addition to the Wireless network. You can also enjoy the large flat screen TV from either of the master beds. The upstairs Master also includes a Sony Bluray disc player. All the main bedrooms have large walk-in closets. The master bathroom for each level is extra-large and includes a Bain-Ultra deck jaccuzi tub with a view of the Tybee Lighthouse. You'll be able to relax in this tub with the built-in fireplace providing a warm backdrop in front of you. After your bath, you can grab a pre-heated towel from the towel warming drawer incorporated into the tub deck. If you would rather use the walk-in shower, you will find a tile bench seat with additional hand sprayer. Finishing the bathroom are twin vanities and a linen cabinet including dual linen hampers.

There are two further guest rooms equipped with queen beds, adjoining walk in closet and full baths. One of these rooms is equipped with a larger handicap accessible bathroom (Note: NOT fully ADA compliant) with separate tub and shower and also has a flat screen TV for viewing from the bed. The fifth room has two extra-long twin beds with full bath and walk in closet. The sixth bedroom is part of the recreation room- perfect for kids- it had four pull-down twin Murphy Beds and an extra large full bathroom.

PLEASE NOTE: TYBEE ISLAND RECENTLY ENACTED NEW LAWS REGARDING OCCUPANCY WHICH NOW LIMIT MY HOME TO A MAXIMUM OF 14 ADULTS (15 YEARS OR OLDER), WITH NO RESTRICTION ON THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN. MAXIMUM COMBINED OCCUPANCY OF ADULTS AND CHILDREN IS 20. THIS OCCUPANCY RESTRICTION MUST STRICTLY BE ADHERED TO IN ADDITION TO ALL PARKING AND NOISE REGULATIONS.

The kitchen is unequaled, with all the amenities you'd expect in a commercial kitchen including a 60' Wolf gas range with griddle, grill, six burners and twin ovens, a built-in counter top fryer and separate steamer, microwave oven, and plenty of storage space in two Sub-Zero Refrigerator and Freezers. An extra refrigerator is located in the pantry as well as a wine cooler/bar fridge in the kitchen bar counter. There you'll also find a large island with gourmet prep-sink, and vegetable washing hose, and an adjacent bar with beer & wine cooler, Keurig coffee machine machine and fresh squeezed lemonade press. You can literally have four cooks working in this kitchen with room to spare! To entertain your guests, you'll have use of the custom alderwood dining table that seats 12, and a wrap around couch in front of the 62" flat screen TV that seats just as many! (The couch cluster has two full-size pull out beds for extra guests or kids)

The recreation room on the ground floor includes a full-size slate pool table with ping-pong table cover, a fooseball table, and a poker table with bumper pool. The kids can enjoy a movie or plug in their X-Box or gameboy on the 50" flat screen TV. For your trips to the beach we have two beach wagons, an assortment of chairs, coolers, and toys to last the whole day.

Just when you thought you were done...a whole new vacation experience awaits you on the huge roof deck. You can relax in the 8 person Hotsprings spa tub, and soak in the panoramic views of the Tybee Light House, or watch ships come in and out of the Savannah River entrance with Hilton Head Island in the distance. There is an outdoor cooking counter with refrigerator, bar sink, 36" gas grill with internal smoker and rotisserie, and side burners. With the lights above the granite counter top you can enjoy this great amenity day or night. Adjacent seating for up to six persons on the dining peninsula. Finally, if you don't want to make the short walk to the beach for some sun, enjoy the lounge chairs on the sun deck area while you soak in the great Tybee weather!

PLEASE NOTE: VRBO WEBSITE DOES NOT ACCOUNT FOR TIME NEEDED TO CLEAN THIS VERY LARGE HOUSE. IT WILL ALLOW YOU TO REQUEST BOOKING ON THE SAME DAY I HAVE A GUEST CHECKING OUT OR TO STAY THROUGH THE SAME DAY I HAVE A GUEST CHECKING IN. TO ALLOW TIME TO PREPARE MY HOME I CAN'T BOOK ANY HALF-DAYS. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE BUT VRBO IS UNABLE TO ADJUST THE BOOKING SYSTEM TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS. I WILL VERIFY ANY CONFLICTS AT THE TIME OF YOUR BOOKING REQUEST FOR YOU TO REVIEW.

Serenity
We were disappointed in the roof that should have been a beautiful hangout as per the advertisement. It was filthy, chairs broken and rusty and the grill was unusable due to the filth and garbage stuffed inside it. Otherwise it was a nice house with plenty of room. The elevator was a plus.

Gathering House
This property was more that what I expected. We had a group of 10 friends stay at this house together. The house is in wonderful location amazing gathering spaces and the kitchen was fantastic everything you needed. We literally had seven people in the kitchen at one time preparing meals and it did not seem cramped. The property is outdated but you didn't really even notice because it is a wonderful size and served our family of friends perfectly we will be back. .

Serenity is very nice and convenient to North Beach. When new, this property would have been fabulous. But now, it’s beginning to show its age. Had plenty of room for family of 15. A few items need to be fixed or replaced.

Great property- wow
This is a great property- great location, great spaces, and an incredible kitchen! If you have a large group, this is a perfect location. Our group usually has between 10-15 old college buddies per year throughout the week. This location can readily support our largest expected attendance. The living space, the dining area, and the sleeping space all support this large group. The kitchen, especially, supports a large group- multiple sinks, prep spaces, ovens, refrigerators- amazing. Jonathan did a great job accommodating us as well. Thanks!

Fantastic location, great amenities
Various spacious home with great amenities. Multiple porches, beautiful large kitchen, large dining table and living room. It was also great to have an elevator for those who had trouble with stairs. We were extremely pleased and grateful for the host providing ample supplies for the stay: toilet paper, trash bags, baskets with mini toiletries in case you forgot something. So many places give you one of each and you have to bring or go buy more. We really appreciated that! Jonathan sent very detailed instructions in a timely manner. It did take us a minute to figure out how to adjust the hot water but we figured it out. Also the garage was stocked with everything we needed for the beach! Comfortable beds and nice bathrooms. Highly recommend and would return for sure!

Great House
The house was great; we had 4 couples. Each having their own baths was perfect. A bonus was that this house is really well constructed; only the spouses of the snorers heard the snores! The kitchen is huge & unbelievably well-applianced. We were able to have several cooks working at once while another person poured drinks. The location is good as you can get to the beach with a 5 minute walk or so. We’d definitely rent it again!

Awesome family trip
Our family spent 5 days at Serenity and we all fell in love with the house and the area. With 10 adults and 3 teens/kids there was plenty of space to spread out and things to keep us occupied. The view on the roof is amazing and we enjoyed walking to the lighthouse, beach and the Marine Science Center. The house is well equipped - seriously you don't need to bring any kind of kitchen or beach items, they have it all there for you! We cooked most of our meals at the house, including Christmas dinner and there was plenty of space to have multiple dishes being prepared and cooked simultaneously. The teens had their xbox and spent lots of time in the rec room playing games, pool, ping pong while the adults watched Christmas movies and played our own board games upstairs. The beds are all firm but comfortable and the bathrooms are huge with lots of amenities you might not get at home. Jonathan was excellent to communicate with and very quick to respond. This is a beautiful home and I highly recommend it for large groups.

Gorgeous House with Plenty of Room to Spread Out
This was the perfect house for a get together with great friends. We each had our own bedroom, and there was plenty of room to spread out. Forget about going out to eat - the kitchen is well-stocked and big enough to have multiple cooks in the kitchen at once. It's a short walk to the beach, the lighthouse, and a great bar & grill if you do decide to go out. And, there's plenty of things to do at the house for those who decide to stay behind. Games, hot tub, sit on the porch with a good book and a nice breeze - you name it!

More than you could ask for!
The house and overall accommodations were beyond what is mentioned in the listing. Even though it was a short drive to Savannah we spent most of our time enjoy the breeze and sounds on the porches. Overall, it was an amazing stay and all members of our party had nothing but great things to say about the property.

Amazing house in amazing location
Rented this house for entire family of 18. House is amazing! So much room! A few minor issues but nothing worth writing about. We’ve been to Tybee every year for quite sometime now and this has definitely been the nicest house we’ve rented. There’s probably $40k worth of kitchen appliances!! Highly recommended! The owner was incredibly nice and communicated quickly.

Tybee vacation
The house was spacious and in a great location for a short walk to the beach with beautiful views of the lighthouse and ocean. Some of the amenities advertised were not operational ( I.e.,elevator and outdoor deck kitchen). It is a long four flights so the elevator would have been appreciated when carrying groceries, children, etc. The property manager got back to us quickly and had plans for all issues to be addressed but after our stay.

Fun and relaxation on Tybee.
We had a great time. The weather did not cooperate completely , but found plenty to do. We enjoyed North beach and the pavilion beach. Our stay included Tybee Island’s St. Patrick’s parade and fun. Fort Pulaski was fun for the adults and kids. Some went to the wildlife park north of Savanna. We enjoyed the restaurants on Tybee. The day we left for home we had a good time in Savanna’s Forsyth park and the river walk. LM Cooper family from central Kansas

About the host

Hosted by Jonathan Rawls

Host profile image
I had been planning the construction of my home on Tybee since for about 8 years. Once I found my 'spot' the whole process took three years to completion. Once my home was built, people said how much they would like to stay there, and with the economy being down, I found myself open to the idea of renting my home. I really view rental of my home as having guests - for sure the money helps - but I enjoy being host and hearing all the positive comments on how much my guests have enjoyed my home and their stay on Tybee, which affirms the years in planning to make my home a place to enjoy, and to remember.

Why they chose this property

As a college student in Atlanta, I made frequest trips to Savannah, since it is the closest beach to Atlanta. Later, I had some business ties to Savannah and from that, began staying at Tybee for both business and for summer vacations. Over time, I fell in love with the atmosphere and decided that is where I wanted to build my second home.

What makes this property unique

My home is a 180 degree change from the hustle and bustle of Atlanta. That is why I picked the name 'Serenity'. Although I can function in my office there just as I do in Atlanta, there is something about walking out on my roof deck and taking in the view, or enjoying one of Tybee's many quirky events, that can't be had in Atlanta or other city places.
