Welcome to Neptune Haven, a charming Tybee Island cottage designed for slow mornings, easy beach days, and quiet evenings under the stars. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath home is perfectly suited for couples or small families looking to settle into the laid-back rhythm of the island.
From the moment you arrive, the front porch sets the tone. It’s the kind of space that invites you to stay awhile—whether that’s coffee in the morning, a good book in the afternoon, or a casual game of cards in the coastal breeze. With comfortable seating and a porch swing, it quickly becomes one of your favorite spots at the home.
Inside, the layout is bright, open, and easy to enjoy. The living area offers a relaxed setting to unwind after a day out, with comfortable seating and a flatscreen TV for a low-key night in. Just off the living space, the kitchen is fully equipped with granite countertops, stainless appliances, and a breakfast bar, making it simple to prepare meals without missing out on time together.
Where Neptune Haven really stands out is in its outdoor living. Step out back and you’ll find a more private setting, ideal for winding down at the end of the day. Enjoy a quiet meal at the bistro table, gather around the fire pit in the evening, or rinse off after the beach using the outdoor shower. It’s a setup that makes it easy to enjoy Tybee’s coastal air from morning to night.
When it’s time to turn in, the home comfortably sleeps up to 4 guests across two well-appointed bedrooms.
The primary bedroom features a king bed, a private ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower, and direct access to the backyard, perfect for stepping outside in the morning or evening. The guest bedroom offers a queen bed and its own private bathroom with a classic clawfoot tub, adding a touch of character to the space.
Additional conveniences include a washer and dryer located in a separate, locked room on the side porch.
If you’re looking for a Tybee Island rental that blends cottage charm, inviting outdoor spaces, and a comfortable layout for a relaxed stay, Neptune Haven is an easy choice.

Pictures of accommodation do not do it justice. Wonderful lay out, thoughtfully furnished, clean and ready to use. Great front porch. Good access to North and South Tybee. Planning on returning either next year around the same time or in autumn this year.

Thank you so much for staying with us! Tybee Joy Guest Services
Upon arrival, the porch light was left on, music was playing, and the AC was already on - so welcoming! The front porch swing was the perfect place for a morning cup of coffee and a good book. This house is in a great central location for beach access, dining options, and shopping. The street it's located on is quiet and great for taking a morning jog. The only complaint I have is that the showerhead is quite weak, which made it hard to wash up. Small problem in an otherwise perfect vacation house!
The recliners in living room was GREAT and the porch swing on front porch was so neat!On a quiet street but 3 blocks from a walk to the beach!Definitely would stay there again!

Yes, the swing and porch are amazing! Thanks for staying with Tybee Joy! Please come stay again.
We spent a couple days at the house as our central location for a weekend on Tybee Island. The house was perfect; location, master and the front porch. It was a great spot to walk or take a short drive to the places we wanted to see and eat. We did not cook at the house but unlike others it appeared equipped to make a meal if needed. Given it was World Series and college football time we appreciated having TV options in the evening including a great setup in the master. The highlight was likley the front porch for some late afternoon relaxing.

I really enjoyed the home! It was so lovely and very well kept.The beach is a hopskip away and we walked there everyday. I'd say that the water pressure and shower head was really the only downside. Very little pressure and would have been nicer with a detachable shower head. Heads up for visitors, bring bug spray the mosquitoes are hungry!

So happy to hear you enjoyed the home and I have sent your feedback of the showerhead to our maintenance team. Yes, unfortunately one of the drawbacks of our amazing South GA weather are those mosquitoes so bug spray is a pus! Come see us again when you can forget the bug spray with the sunscreen!!

Came down for a spring break with my wife as this is her last year as a teacher. retiring after 36 years. This is the second time we have stayed at this property. We have about 12 visits to Tybee island. So we are well educated about the area. We love the porch, that's were we spend most of our time. The house is perfect for mid island stay, which is quiet. Ok there is 1 issue: There are 2 tall pine trees. Which there is 1 on each side of the driveway. The SAP that falls from those trees makes a mess out of your vehicle. There is also squirls that drop debris and make a mess. You don't see them in the pics so just be aware there is some serious sap cleanup after you leave.
