Lovely location, peculiar kitchen set-up, not very good water flow from bathroom faucet, yard was a little lacking for “pet friendly”. Overall, the neighborhood was quiet and nice for (dog) walking and the accommodations were comfortable. Thank you for allowing me to bring my dog!

The owners were very responsive. The apartment was perfect for my family and, esp., my elderly mom. It was well appointed and had everything we needed from kitchen to bath to bedrooms and an easy walk to the beach. Checkout was super easy too. Thanks!

Tybee and chill

We came over the Christmas/New Year’s week and while the week started out terribly cold we were at the beach on vacation. The location of the cottage and size of the island make many local shops and restaurants an easy walk. The house was clean and well furnished.

Lovely stay

The house's interior was cute with just the amount of space we needed--3 bedrooms, dining and living room, kitchen and laundry room The location was walking distance to the beach. We went sightseeing on the island and into Savannah several times. We appreciate the owner permitted our small dog to accompany us. Thank you.

Lovely stay

My son and I stayed at the Blue Dolphin house while attending weekend wedding festivities with family. We had planned on a larger group but the hurricane and other circumstances changed who was able to travel. I let Patty know and she was responsive and kind regarding our change in circumstance. The cottage was perfect! It had everything we needed for a stress free stay. We would definitely stay here again and I would recommend it to others. Thank you Ed and Patty for a lovely place to stay on Tybee Island!

Girl's getaway

My mom and I had a wonderful stay. The location is great. Within walking distance to many things including the beach! The property is a quaint beach cottage. It's cozy and yet plenty of room to move about. Good place to stay for a couple or even 2 couples. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking necessities. Full size washer and dryer is a plus. Outdoor hose to rinse off after a trip to the beach. The bathroom is small but doable. We definitely will stay here again!!

Great location

Girls weekend this October and we wanted to be by the beach. This cottage was steps away! Just perfect. Three bedrooms was perfect for the ladies on the trip. The kitchen is small but has what you need. There are a lot of restaurants near by. The house was cozy, cute, and very clean. The bathroom is small, but the rooms are set up with a dresser and mirrors, so the ladies did just fine. We really loved the different area rugs and the cute table where we sat and talked late into the night. The hosts were easy to work with and helpful. A great stay steps from the beach.

The property was clean and check in very easy. Only thing I can say was unique about the property is the levelness of the floors and walls. They are not level in most rooms so it makes you feel kind of off balance when walking around. Overall it’s a cute beach cottage in a great area!
