It was perfect for our family. We could walk to the beach or stay at tge private pool. There was plenty of room and the kitchen was well supplied.loved it.
We live about an hour away from Tybee, we have rented many houses on the island through the last 20 years. This absolutely was the best.!!!This historic, former military Rec. area, they have absolutely thought of everything when it comes to making it the perfect place the vacation!I highly recommend it, wish it was a little bit cheaper, but it was well worth it!!
The home itself was “fine,” but the experience was unacceptable due to the homeowners’ failure to disclose that the property is in the middle of a major, ongoing construction zone that’s been active since December. That omission feels intentionally misleading.We were woken up by 7:30 AM every day (except our last) to constant beeping and the house shaking from heavy machinery for 6–7 hours straight. It made it impossible to relax or enjoy the property.The pool area was also poorly maintained—visible debris, low water level, mold on the furniture, and even a chair with exposed rusty nails, which is a safety hazard.Despite charging premium spring break rates, this property was not properly maintained and lacked basic transparency. VRBO attempted to contact the homeowners about these issues, and they failed to respond, which says everything.We rarely get time off, and this trip was supposed to be special for our teenagers. Instead, it was a frustrating experience we couldn’t wait to end. I would not recommend staying here.
We had a fantastic stay at Danilo’s apartment! From start to finish, he was an exceptional host—friendly, responsive, and incredibly helpful. He gave us clear instructions for finding the place, met us personally to show us around, and shared a wealth of recommendations for local restaurants and events happening in town. His local insights really added a special touch to our visit.The apartment itself is exactly as pictured—stylish, clean, and true to Italian design: compact, modern, and very functional. The air conditioning worked perfectly, which was a big plus, and we were pleasantly surprised to always find free parking available right there.We came to the area to visit the Ferrari museums and enjoy the driving experience at the Autodromo, and this location couldn’t have been more convenient. It made everything easy and stress-free.Thanks to Danilo, we felt completely at home and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!
