The Wonders of Back River Beach House
Back River Beach House is uniquely located to enhance your enjoyment of the landscape. Unlike many vacation rentals Tybee Island GA, this home is tucked away on the Tybee Creek side of the island's southern peninsula. Still within a short walk of South Beach and the Tybee Island Pier and Pavillion, this accommodation offers a cool, quiet respite after a busy day on the strand.
When you walk in the garden-level front door, a cool foyer with a hall table emits a sense of calm and welcome. A large garage offers convenient indoor parking, and an open staircase provides access to the main floors above.
The bright, cozy living room draws you in with comfortable furnishings in a sea-blue and warm sand color scheme. Plenty of throw pillows on the sofa invite you to sink in while matching overstuffed armchairs encourage conversation. Large windows add a sense of expanse. The private elevator provides quick access to this upper floor, making it so much easier to get settled in.
The dining area and kitchen await just beyond the open archway. A formal dining set offers elegant seating for eight beneath a sparkling chandelier. Large windows keep the space crisp and bright, and a sliding door leads outside to balcony seating, great for sharing a cold beverage and afternoon snack. A flat-screen TV in the adjacent lounge keeps everyone entertained.
The Cape Cod-style kitchen features a full roster of stainless-steel appliances. The range features double ovens and a microwave above to answer all your cooking needs during your vacation rentals Tybee Island GA stay. A large fridge-freezer is great for cold drinks, fresh produce from local stores and doggie bags from your favorite restaurants.
The beadboard cupboards hold glasses, tableware, cookware and utensils for fitting out those family-style dinners you will enjoy so much. A countertop coffee maker and toaster minimize morning fuss, while a raised breakfast bar with stool seating provides a place to perch while you make plans for the day.
The first bedroom boasts gleaming hardwood floors, a king-sized bed, matching night tables with beachy wicker reading lamps and a chest of drawers and walk in closet for your clothes. A comfy armchair provides a place to wind down. A ceiling fan helps you regulate the temperature to your liking. Sliding doors open to the balcony, where you can drink in the sea air and listen to the neighborhood wake.
The en suite bathroom pampers you with a large tub, glass-doored step-in shower and his-and-her sinks. We supply a generous stockpile of towels in each of the three full bathrooms.
The second bedroom also features a roomy king-sized bed, lamps and nightstands. Bedroom three offers a queen-sized bed, and is decorated in restful tones of blue. A nearby bath off the hallway offers a tub/shower combination plus a wealth of counterspace where you can set out your makeup and/or shaving kit.
A duo of twin beds in the fourth bedroom accommodates the kids or singles in you travel group. Leafy views beyond the large window make this a cozy nest for restful nights. The sparkling third bathroom has a tub/shower.
Like many of our Tybee vacation rentals, Back River Beach features a washer-dryer, central heating and A/C, Wi-Fi and extra blankets. Don't overlook exclusive pool access for refreshing breaks, exercise and the chance to meet other Tybee Island vacation homes guests.
What is the Back River?
Back River Beach is one of Tybee Island's best-kept secrets. Located where Highway 80 ends on the southern tip of the island, Back River is beyond the beaten path, but it is well worth getting there.
Back River Beach overlooks the natural wetlands around Tybee Creek and Little Tybee Island. It also has a great view to the west, so you will enjoy some world-class sunsets, some say the best on the island.
Not only are the views spectacular, but the beach itself is incredible. Long, flat stretches of sand border the gentle waves of the sheltered inlet, making it an ideal place to paddle board or kayak. Also, due to its relatively calm waters, Back River Beach is a favorite with the local dolphins, and you are likely to see a pod at play just off the shoreline. Want to catch some waves during your stay? Take a stroll about a half mile to the beach!
The Fisherman's Walk Pier, a mainstay of Back River Beach, is a popular draw for anglers, and the restaurants you'll find there serve up some of the freshest seafood in the South. A.J.'s Dockside and The Crab Shack are two of the well-loved dining destinations for locals and visitors alike.
Tap into Tybee Island's untold story with a wonderful getaway at Back River Beach. Call to reserve your dates today because Tybee vacation homes like this one go quickly.

Thanks for staying with us! Glad the cleanliness stood out — that's always our top priority. We hear you on the pool and beach distance not quite matching expectations, and we'll take a look at how that's described in the listing to make sure it's clearer for future guests. Hope to host you again sometime!
The elevator was really helpful for getting the food and luggage upstairs. We went to Savannah shopping two days. We had two great meals on Tybee. The Trayler Park and The Deck. Easy walking distance to the beach.When we come back to Tybee, we will stay here.
The house was just as described. It was clean, spacious and in great proximity to many shops and restaurants on Tybee Island. I definitely recommend for families of all ages.
Had a wonderful stay, property is very convenient to beach and downtown area. Pool was a nice bonus as well. Thanks for a great stay/

Hello Stacy, it was a pleasure hosting you. We are so pleased to hear how wonderful your trip was and how the property was in a great location. We look forward to hosting you in the future. - Southern Belle Vacation Rentals Team
The home was , the elevator was clutch, and its great proximity to the beach and eateries was everything. Calling them restaurants is too much of a stretch. Coming back from the beach and watching the sunset from the porch made for the perfect ending to each day.
The place was perfect for us. Close to the beach and restaurants yet a couple blocks off in a residential neighborhood it was a peaceful stay. The house couldn't have been cleaner and beautifully decorated. The beds were very comfortable with quality linens. The elevator also came in handy!
house was just as described beds and better were great! location is good can walk to the beach if you can do about a mile walk

Spotless, lovely decor, fully stocked kitchen, great showers, comfy beds, cozy living area for enjoying evenings of laughs and conversation.
We had a wonderful time spending our Thanksgiving at this beautiful property. Very roomy, the kitchen was outfitted very well and just loved the long table that seats 8. The men sat out every evening on the porch in their winter coats enjoying the view & solving the world's problems. Would rent again.

Enjoyed the house. We were very glad the house had an elevator since the main living area was on the 3rd floor. The instructions we were given to operate everything were great.
