About this property

Waterfront Retreat w/ Private Pool & Unparalleled Views by Tybee Cottages

Welcome to Twisted Tuna, a one-of-a-kind waterfront retreat tucked along the serene waterways of Chimney Creek on beautiful Tybee Island. Offering a private heated pool, sweeping marsh and Savannah River views, and unforgettable coastal sunrises and sunsets, this extraordinary home was designed for gathering, relaxing, and experiencing the very best of island living — all while being just minutes from Tybee’s beaches, restaurants, shops, and local attractions.

With breathtaking views stretching toward Daufuskie Island and Hilton Head, Twisted Tuna delivers an unforgettable Lowcountry experience where guests can watch passing ships drift along the Savannah River while enjoying peaceful waterfront surroundings from nearly every level of the home.

Spanning three beautifully renovated levels, Twisted Tuna perfectly blends elevated coastal design with warm Southern comfort. Thoughtfully curated furnishings, designer finishes, and inviting gathering spaces create the ultimate setting for families and groups looking to unwind in style. An elevator services the home, making access between floors easy and convenient for guests. The heart of the home is made for entertaining, featuring a chef’s kitchen with premium appliances including a double-drawer built-in refrigerator, dedicated drink refrigerator, warming drawer, and expansive prep and gathering spaces. Seamless indoor-outdoor flow embraces the beauty of the surrounding waterways and encourages relaxed coastal living.

Outside, Twisted Tuna transforms into the ultimate coastal oasis. Multiple balconies and expansive decks invite guests to take in the breathtaking scenery from sunrise to sunset, while the private heated pool creates the perfect place to cool off after a day on the water. The outdoor kitchen is fully outfitted with a Green Egg, grill, professional-grade ice machine, and everything needed for unforgettable evenings spent dining under the coastal sky.

Guests can enjoy access to the covered deck and fish cleaning station, making this property perfect for boating enthusiasts, anglers, and nature lovers alike. While the floating docks are restricted to charter use, guests are welcome to enjoy the covered deck and waterfront spaces throughout their stay.

The home features four bedrooms and four full bathrooms spread across three spacious floors and comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests, allowing everyone to enjoy both privacy and room to gather. Located on the first floor just off the pool deck, guests will find a private bedroom, a full bathroom with a walk-in shower, a convenient kitchenette, and a cozy living area — perfect for guests wanting their own separate retreat. The second floor offers two additional guest bedrooms, both outfitted with king beds, along with two full bathrooms, one featuring a walk-in shower and the other a tub/shower combination. Occupying the entire third floor, the stunning primary suite serves as a true sanctuary with unparalleled water views, a private balcony overlooking the river, a luxurious soaking tub, and an oversized walk-in shower designed for ultimate relaxation.

The home's private dock offers more than just waterfront views, and guests can arrange select excursions with Sundial Charters and Marshland Adventures with convenient pickup right from the dock, creating a seamless on-the-water experience from your backyard.

Whether you’re gathering with family, celebrating with friends, planning a fishing adventure, or simply escaping to the coast for a slower pace, Twisted Tuna offers a truly unforgettable Tybee Island experience where luxury, comfort, and waterfront living come together perfectly.

Beautiful place! Lots of room for family to gather and to have their own space. Pool was nice to cool off in after a long day at the beach. Location was close to beach and nightlife but far enough to have quite time. My family consisted of 2 adults and 3 teenagers, all enjoyed their stay. Only suggestion would be some written instructions , The house has so much to offer, but we were afraid to push buttons or flip switches. Examples are outdoor tv, never got it to work, outdoor fan never got it to work. We did call rental company on hot tub and pool questions. The grass was uncut which decrease the outdoor appearance. We tripped the fuse on the washer, the maintenance guy came quickly as I could not get my clothes out . We would rent again , just thought I would offer some feedback .

It was perfect. Beautiful and comfortable. We arrived and they forgot to clean the house. They showed up in a matter of minutes, had it perfect in a few hours. The views from the patios were gorgeous. You could even see the lighthouse from the front.A few of the door handles were pretty hard to use and one to the one of the bathrooms in the middle floor remains locked.The kitchen is missing a few essentials like measuring cups, measuring spoons, cutting boards, and food prep knives. So I would back that to bring.The pool was perfect for relaxing

Thank you for staying at TWISTED - Twisted Tuna and for the detailed feedback. I’m sorry about the initial cleaning lapse, but glad the team got it resolved quickly. Great to hear you enjoyed the views and the pool. I appreciate the notes about the stiff door handles and the locked mid-level bathroom — maintenance will inspect and repair those. We’ll also add measuring cups, measuring spoons, cutting boards, and food-prep knives to the kitchen. Thanks again for the helpful suggestions. - The Tybee Team
