Great for a group trip!

We stayed here for a bachelorette party and it is a perfect house in a great location. Very quiet because it is about a 15 minute walk to restaurants, which we enjoyed. It is only a 5 minute walk to the beach, with all the beach gear you need provided. Marlyn is a great host and quickly fixed a small pool issue when we checked in. Highly recommend this house to any group looking for a great beach stay!

Nice spring vacation

Nicely updated home with plenty of space for a family of 4. Our children enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Only one can be heated at a time, which took a little to figure out, but Marlyn was very responsive and adjusted as we needed. A beach umbrella was not present when we arrived but again Marlyn was very responsive and had one delivered within hours. The home was relatively clean but needed some general upkeep/coat of paint. The location was nice, an easy walk to the beach!

Well done house and pool!

Our family stayed for a week and had a great time. The house was well decorated and had all that we needed. After hours on the beach we all enjoyed taking a dip in the pool. The pool was awesome. I won’t rent another beach house with out a pool from now on. The proximity to the beach was nice and they had great beach equipment and a wagon to make the walk so easy. Had a great time. The hostess was great too

Tybee girl's trip

The house is amazing and only about a 3 minute walk to the beach. I love that it has a pool with heated spa. It rained on us most of the weekend, but the house was so nice and cozy, so we actually enjoyed staying in. Marlyn was a very accommodating host and when we arrived, the key pad battery was low. I contacted her about it and she had someone deliver batteries to the front door within 1 hour. Great house, great host, and great weekend! grweekend!

Great Bachelorette Spot

We rented this house for a bachelorette trip and it was perfect! The rooms were spacious for adults and located steps away from beach access. I would recommend renting a golf cart to get around the island. About 30-40 minutes from Savannah depending on traffic, so it was the perfect day trip. There are a lot of ants and ant hills around the property, and they did get inside every night by the kitchen sink. Be aware as we had a girl who was allergic. Otherwise, this house and trip were a blast!

We enjoyed our stay (6adults and one toddler)! The bedrooms were upstairs with family space and Kitchen on the main level and outdoor games and beach gear on the ground/pool level. The kitchen had everything you needed plus a few extras! Property was within walking distance of the beach and downtown. Pool and hot tub were and other screened in porches created a lot of amazing outdoor space.The three bathrooms were spacious and airy.There are lots of stairs on this property and it was set up (and baby gates were included) so you could restrict toddlers. This property has been updated and is cute. Some areas could use a deep clean.I would stay here again if traveling to Tybee with a larger group!

Wonderful stay

Our vacation was wonderful! The house was great! Lots of space and plenty of towels. We were grateful for the beach equipment too--very handy if you're flying and can't bring your own. The outdoor shower didn't work which was the only issue. The pool was fantastic and the hot tub which starts automatically every day is the only prompt we needed to take advantage! The beach is about a three minute walk even with littles in tow. The property manager texted back every time we reached out--super fast too. We would definitely book again.

Overall enjoyed our stay

We had some trouble the first day, when we arrived the pool was dirty and looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. Marlyn was great with communication and kept us up to date on when the pool guy would be there to clean it. The house was clean for the most part, but the tables still had crumbs on them and there was hair in the sink/shower drains. The pots and pans are bent and not well taken care of, so they work properly on the stove. There was also food found on some of the clean dishes. The outside games, a lounge chair, the wagon were all broken. Everything was very frustrating at first, but the house is very nice and we enjoyed our stay.

Perfect spot for a fun girls weekend

Everything about the home was super nice! Great space and the pool was perfect! We did add the pool heat as it was a bit chilly and windy during our stay and the process was super easy! Marlyn was very easy to communicate with as well! Unfortunately the swivel chairs were broken when we arrived and some stains on the furniture from past guests, but when we let Marlyn know, she let us know it was on her list to replace them! Otherwise everything was great and we had a great trip! Close to the beach and good walking distance from restaurants on Tybee! We also were able to get Uber’s into Savannah when we needed to!

Beautiful house close to everything

Had a wonderful experience with this property. The house was clean and well maintained with gorgeous upgrades. The location was great with most places just a short walk even for a 5 year old. The owner was extremely responsive and provided great service. The pool was clean and well maintained. With the addition of heat, we were able to use it into the evening even in February. I truly Cannot recommend this location highly enough. You won’t be disappointed.

Girls Getaway

This was the perfect place to stay for a girls getaway! The house was extremely clean with all the appliances and tableware needed. We did notice some markings on the wall on check in and we let the owners know. They were very quick to reply to our concern. We had a tough time getting Ubers from Tybee to Savannah but once we did it was about a 15-20 minute ride. The house is within walking distance to the beach but there is also beach parking if you want to drive. We utilized the pool/spa hot tub which was perfect for a relaxing day by the pool. Bathrooms were well stocked with toilet paper and towels/washcloths for both the beach and pool. Overall it was a great place and we would definitely book again!
