Great access to beach, and wonderful location on the island. Central to everything. Having pool access was a plus. Management was very responsive to needs. We will definitely be back!

Thank you for the 5-star review! Glad the beach access, central island location, and pool were a plus—and that our team was responsive. We’d love to host you again at Lucky Savannah. - The Lucky Team
This property was exactly what we were looking for! A nice, quiet place to stay that is close to the beach and amenities! Would definitely stay again!!
The stay and cottage was great! The only thing is there is no outdoor lights and on arrival or coming back after dinner it was very dark. We could hear something walking around but could not see. We felt unsafe. Light switches need to be labeled. The TV kept losing connection and the only way to remedy it was to unplug the TV and wait to plug it back in. The internet connection was fine the tv kept dropping the connection.

We come yearly but this is the first time staying away from south end of the beach. We enjoyed the house and location. We love staying on Tybee before school lets out.
We had a fantastic stay! This cottage was perfect for our family. It’s has a great beach cottage feel! So close to the beach. Can’t wait to plan our next trip:)
The cottage is small, but comfortable. It was perfect for our family with three kids. It’s close to restaurants and easy walking distance to the beach.
What an adorable bungalow! Perfect location for our couple’s getaway. We did have one mishap when we locked ourselves out when we went out to have coffee on the porch. Beware, the front door automatically locks behind you! Took a walk on the beach until the rental office opened and they came right away with a spare key. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come again.

This is the perfect location if you want to go to tybee with just your family. The cottage is perfectly located for access to the beach and the IGA (grocery store). It is well appointed with everything you need.
Wlll keep this on our list of perfect getaways that make a short vacation seem long. Convenient location to all the fun stuff happening on Tybee Island. Close to the beach. Cozy, comfy and clean.
We found the house to be charming with all the amenities we needed and even it just having 1 bathroom was not a problem for our family of 4. Our favorite part was the 3 minute walk to the beach! The beds were comfortable, the living room as well, and we appreciated the nicely stocked kitchen.
Wow, we loved this place! The cottage was the perfect spot for our family of four! I loved the beachy backdrop, and it was well-stocked with the necessary kitchen and bath items! Such an amazing time, we hope to go back! We highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Tybee Island looking for a comfortable, cozy stay!

Reviewer Comments:
We came for a mini moon and it was the perfect place to relax and unwind post wedding! House was clean. Great for access to beach and grocery near by.
While my trip did not end so well, the stay itself was wonderful! The cottage was so clean, comfy, and cute. It was stocked with the basic essentials incase we didn’t have our own. The Host was so communicative and helpful before, during, and even after my stay. I would definitely recommend staying here and I personally would stay here again!

Reviewer Comments:
Everything was great. The only issue we had was the bathroom sink drain was very slow draining the water. It needs to be unclogged.
I stayed here with my husband and 3 young children (5, 3, and 6 months). The house had everything we needed. It was also very close to the beach walkway. The set up was super cute and though smaller, the house was set up to maximize the space and we had zero issues staying there.

Reviewer Comments:
Great experience overall. Close to beach, clean, well maintained mid-century cottage. Bring your own cookware, not much there and it is pretty worn out. Also, there is no table for eating, so prepare accordingly for young children.
Great cottage, but it could use some warmth. Some rugs and artwork would do a lot. Also, the backyard could use some trimming.

Reviewer Comments:
I really loved my stay here. The bed was very comfortable and it had mostly what i needed for a short stay. A few items olive oil spray and coffee creamer and tea would be a welcome touch. A few extra scrubbers for pan sticks as well since there is not a dishwasher.
Very quaint cottage, very cute inside, outside of property wasn’t really taken care of garage. Cottage was a little rundown, the only thing bad I would say about the cottage is the kitchen window needs a blind or curtain didn’t work on the remote so it was a very loud on. But the location is great very close to the beach and the inside of the cottage was decorated very cute and more updated..
