The home is spacious and airy; there are 11 foot ceilings throughout most of the house, with the kitchen having a 14 foot ceiling! We love to cook, so the kitchen is very well stocked with pots, pans, etc. -- but also with a large refrigerator (plus at least one spare 'drink' fridge), two dishwashers, a five burner induction stove/oven, a microwave, great storage, and plenty of cookware, serving dishes, dinnerware, and dishes. The dining room seats 14-16 people, and the porch has two picnic tables. The massive porches wrap around most of the house. Most of the home has the original heart pine floors, and molded tin ceilings adorn the hallway, dining room, living room, and library/den. The bedrooms are all very amply sized -- two have king sized beds, two have queen sized beds, and two have multiple beds (including 2 additional queen beds). Many of the bedrooms have the original working transom windows, and two have (nonworking) original fireplaces. While we have found it essential to retain the character of the house, it is modernized for functionality and in its furnishings. The ocean breeze keeps bugs away MOST of the year and the beach is a short walk. Access to the beach is through a private access, so it is a wonderful private area to enjoy the day in the sand. Public access to the beach is very limited on this part of the island so even on the most crowded weekends you will have plenty of room for you and your guests.
Across the street from the private drive used to access the house, there is a terrific park with a childrens playground, a basketball and pickleball court, a wonderful 1/2 mile walking trail, and a baseball field. Also within walking distance is the Tybee Lighthouse and the Tybee Museum and the Tybee Post Theather as well as 3 great restaurants.
