One-of-a-Kind Trolley Home, Oceanfront w/ Dune View by Tybee Cottages

Step into the most unique beach house on Tybee Island, voted for its clever and imaginative design. This extraordinary cottage is ingeniously built around an old-fashioned Trolley, lovingly restored and polished to its former glory. The Trolley's long and lean frame now serves as the captivating centerpiece for the living and dining area, providing an unforgettable ambiance. From the cozy sofas to the quaint dining nook, every spot offers breathtaking views of the swaying dunes of Tybee.

Immerse yourself in the general Retro and vintage theme that pervades the cottage, creating a charming and nostalgic atmosphere. The fully stocked kitchen is ready for your culinary adventures. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, there's ample space to accommodate guests comfortably.

The first bedroom boasts a king-size bed and a full bath, which leads to the second bedroom featuring two twin beds. On the opposite end of the cottage, you'll find the third bedroom with a queen-size bed and a large alcove that provides additional space for relaxation.

Step out onto the back porch, thoughtfully arranged with a cozy setup, a small dining table for four, and a large umbrella. Here, you can enjoy mesmerizing views of the dunes and the soothing sound of the ocean – the perfect setting for coffee time and cocktail hour.

As a guest in this one-of-a-kind Trolley cottage, you're invited to share in the joy of this exceptional retreat. Experience the allure of this cleverly designed beach house, where nostalgia meets modern comfort, and every moment becomes a treasured memory.

Third year at Tybee

This was our third year visiting Tybee but our first stay at Trolley house. Trolley house was cute and unique with a great location. It comfortably fit our family of 5. We loved getting to easily head to the beach everyday and even when the beach was “busier” we still had plenty of space to have our things and play. We would definitely come back to Trolley House!

The Trolly House

This was a great location for the beach and town areas. We really enjoyed the time spent on the beach which was a short walk over the dunes. The beach was not busy and enjoyed the long walks during the day and night.

This property reminds me of a pioneer farm house from the 50s.un even floors, basic hooks to lock doors, some doors would not close, low ceilings, no DW, Washer and dryer in a separate un air-conditioned OLD room, witha trolly car add on that was unusual.Beds were very nice, clean and comfy, pillows a plenty, AC worked great, on the beach, BUT, closest access was marked "Private Property". So, do not get too excited by 3 bedrooms, two small bath rooms.Great towels, wash cloths, soap and shampoo free, great water pressure, but drinking water had a strange taste.

Cute Trolley but needs repairs

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was great, missing and broken blinds was a distraction but the bugs were the biggie. Appeared very dated but clean, although had a lot of giant Palmetto bugs, lots of spiders and several regular roaches or baby giant roaches, don't know the difference. Needs regular pest spraying. Plan to stay in a hotel next time.

Pros:The old house was very unique and clean. We enjoyed the inside vibe very much. You can't see the beach itself because of the dunes, but the beach was right there at a short distance. It was a gorgeous view either way. The price for 4 nights was decent. Not cheap but not too expensive either. Also the ac was excellent and the hot water was too! Very family friendly place as well. Cons:The street to it is a narrow drive between 2 hotels. It was a little hard to find. There is a huge warp in the 2nd entrance inside the train car part that we kept tripping over. I highly suggest it get repaired before renting it out again. If someone does get hurt, that's an easy lawsuit. Most of the doors wouldn't shut all the way but it wasn't a big deal to us. The front door was a learning experience to open and close... there was a trick to it. But we learned it quickly.

Trolley Time

We absolutely loved the cozy trolley. It was clean and decorated so cute. We had everything we needed. Close to the beach which was wonderful. Quiet. The weather could have cooperated a little (rainy) but we had a wonderful visit. Saw places in Savannah and Charleston. I would recommend the Tybee Trolley to anyone looking for that special place to visit.

Beach trip

We had a wonderful time at the cottage! The property was just like the pictures, check in was easy, there are restaurants and shops within walking distance, and the location right on the beach was super convenient. We are a family of 5 and the space was just perfect. We would definitely stay here again, thanks so much!

Place was very clean, but needs some TLC. Interesting home, but definitely showing its age. My family and I were able to fit ok, but if anyone else is remotely on the larger side, you'd have trouble fitting thru doorways and in the showers. I also did not realize one of the bedrooms is literally thru the master and I did not love that. That was my fault though for not realizing that when I read the description. Also, there were some beach items that previous people have left which was nice but they did not supply beach towels which I would have preferred. Overall not bad, but also not great.

Cute cottage

We stayed for our summer vacation(about 5 days). The cottage is very cute with loads of charm. It's a little older than I anticipated and needs a few minor updates, but overall it was great.
