Unique Home on Back River w/ Stunning Sunsets, Private Dock by Tybee Cottages

Host your family of 10 in one of Tybee Island's best beach houses on Tybee's Back River, including a private dock. Enter the home on the second floor and into the bright, sunny living area. With French doors that open to the wrap-around porch, guests will enjoy lounging with a Summer breeze after a long day at the beach.

The kitchen is fully equipped and perfect for entertaining; guests can enjoy a cocktail at the island counter while you prep snacks for the beach.

Tybee Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful home, great location. However, believe there to be a mouse problem. Couldn't use the sofa because there were droppings and food. Mouse droppings on the counters each morning.

Great Sibling trip

We had the best time during our stay! The house was so charming! We loved the back dock area where the dolphins came by daily. It was one of the highlights of our trip. The communication with the managers of this house was wonderful. The location was excellent close to restaurants and the beach. We loved the laid back vibe. We will be back next year.

AMAZING back river home

Our family of 7 came for a week after baseball in Atlanta. Tybee is so great! Cute town. We loved the house...interesting history, beautiful decor, lots of space. Our boys fished daily and had great success! They caught flounder daily and I cooked it up! The girls took the golf cart we rented to the beach and got coffee (Sand Cat and Tybean) It was the best stay!!!!

Thank you for the 5-star review! Glad your family enjoyed Tybee and the house — the history, beautiful decor, and plenty of space. It was great to hear the boys had such success fishing and you got to cook fresh flounder, and that the golf cart rides to the beach and coffee stops at Sand Cat and Tybean were a hit. We’d love to host you again at Lucky Savannah! — The Lucky Team

Awesome location, great family home

Lovely decorated beach home that was just what my family needed. Lots of fishing opportunities to fish on the private dock. Super quick drive to the beach, or a nice leisurely walk if weather permits. Great location and neighborhood! Super communication from home management. We all loved our stay.

Tybee Island Vacation

The dock and the pavilion were a big hit as most of our time was spent there. We were without internet and tv the entire stay although the cable company set up repair dates and for some reason or another never came. T

Memories to last a Lifetime!

We rented this house to celebrate our dad’s 70th birthday and it did not disappoint!!!! The house has an open concept which allowed our for great conversation and space to play games on a rainy day. We spent most of our time, though, on the pier fishing and watching the dolphins who visited!!!! Sunsets were beautiful. You can’t go wrong with Beach Music! Our family created memories that will last a lifetime.

Perfect - we were planning our next stay here the first night!

Our party consisted of my husband and me, my daughter and her husband and 3 & 6 year old sons, another adult daughter and a teenage granddaughter. We all loved it. The home is beautifully decorated with Blue Willow china accents throughout. My husband even commented on how well it's decorated. Everyone said their beds were comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. There are wrap-around porches with rocking chairs and a porch swing - which I don't recall being mentioned in the on-line summary. The dock is the crown jewel! Besides the sunset, you'll enjoy dolphin watching and fishing. Couldn't have been better!

Beautiful sunsets

There were 5 of us, myself and my 2 sisters and their husbands. The first thing you saw when you walked in was the beautiful back river water and dock. You could see this whenever in kitchen, dining room and living room. The rooms were all adequate and comfortable. We spent a lot of time sitting on the rocking chairs on the porch enjoying the water. We loved the dock, part of which is covered and had couches and rocking chairs. One of my sisters and I spent a lot of time reading there. We rented a golf cart which made it easy to get Tybee and not have to worry about parking. We grew up on Tybee in the 50's and 60's. We have been coming back for vacations quite frequently for the last 15 years. We will definitely be back.

The property is lovely with a great view of the river from the porch, even better on the dock. The only things we really needed was a working ice maker or ice trays in the freezer and blankets. There was only one blanket in the entire house that I could find. The room configuration is a little misleading, one of the bedrooms is on the bottom level, it is very dark and musty down there and I am not sure I would enjoy staying in the lowest level. There was also a sleeping area upstairs, but it is an "open" space and could be used as additional place to sleep or another common area for kids to hang out in. Overall, I would highly recommend the house, we loved staying there even if it was just the two of us. The house is a historical gem and the owners are so kind. I would love to come visit the area again.

Best of all it had a dock on deep water on the Back River. We had such a great time hanging out on the dock, swimming and enjoying the nice breeze on the river.

This property is the total package!

We spent a long weekend at Beach Music for my mother's 75th birthday and everyone had a wonderful time. There was something for everyone, including board games, TVs and a ping pong table for the kids. The adults enjoyed the well-appointed porches with stunning views and everyone found the home to be equipped with everything we could need to cook, eat and celebrate. We can't wait to go back to this wonderful property!
