Great beach getaway
This was such a cute place to stay if you want an authentic beach cottage. It was very clean and had everything we needed in the kitchen and for the bedrooms. Only a couple blocks from the beach and a short drive (25mins) to Savannah. We would definitely stay here again!

The wish upon a star theme was very thoughtful and set the stage for an overall wonderful experience. Minutes from the beach, nice back yard and kewl interior with lots of wood. Beautiful! Thank you for the accomodations.

Great location and kitchen
We had a great experience. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were very nice, the fire pit was wonderful on a cool evening. We have people with special diets so needed to cook our meals. The kitchen was stocked with all we needed to cook and bake, including a blender and crockpot! All this with a short walk to the beach.

Close to beach
Comfortable beach house 3 blocks from the beach. Beautiful kitchen for preparing meals. Grocery store is a few blocks away. Pillows for beds need upgrading, we did have several roaches in bathrooms and bedrooms. I hear these are common in Georgia. We also found ants on coming into one bathroom. Washer and dryer work great. Overall enjoyable stay.

Weekend Stay
We enjoyed our stay at the Starfish. It is just two blocks from the beach and walking distance to a fantastic taco place. The owners sent all needed information early and communicated all the way through the stay. The house was spacious with enough room for my family of 4. Loved the front porch and the backyard firepit.

Cute last minute find!
This was a cute cottage and last minute booking for us and the family. We were thrilled that it offered a fenced in back yard as we were traveling with our dogs. The beach theme was super cute. However it felt a little more dated than the pictures showed. That did not stop us from enjoying the cottage and Tybee Island as a whole. The response time from the management company was very fast whenever I had questions. We would stay here again!

Tybee Fun!
Cute house, plenty of room for 4 adults. Location was perfect, on a quiet street with access to groceries, golf carts, beach and places to eat. Comfortable beds. Spent a lot of time on the front and back porches.

Quaint Family Property
Lots of space and room for everyone, strong internet, amazing porch sitting & swinging! However the place could really use a deep cleaning. The porch was filthy and the kitchen can use a major update 7 deep clean, it smelled like a house built in the 70's. Don't get me wrong we had a blast but probably wouldn't stay again.

Just what the doctor ordered....
3 moms, 4 boys (10,13,13,13), 2 nights and it was the ideal getaway!! The house was perfect - not to mention it’s so damn cute you’ll want to redecorate your own when you get home. Great location - easily walkable for food and ice cream but golf cart rentals made getting to the beach much easier (and, well, they’re just fun)!! Needless to say, we had a fantastic time!

A Great Getaway!
We booked this property for a few days for a quick getaway with friends and it is wonderful! The island is beautiful and has a fantastic vintage feel, and this house fits right in! We loved the character and plenty of room for everyone. Easy walk to the beach and close to shopping and restaurants. We loved it!

What a gem! We loved the comfort and convenience of this charming house. We walked to the beach every day (beach is beautiful and quiet), cooked and grilled and sat on the porch and rode bikes around the neighborhood. Kids had a blast sharing bunk beds and we all loved the quiet and beauty of the neighborhood. Day trips to Savannah and the nearby fort were lovely.

The sun rising over Tybee Island is spectacular! The Tybee Vacation Rentals team was awesome to work with. They were very friendly and efficient with our booking efforts. Pre-stay communications were well timed and thorough. There were no issues during our stay but had there been, I’m confident they would have handled whatever it was quickly and with exceptional service. The only part I didn’t like was the reminder regarding the check out procedures and that was only because I didn’t want to be reminded that we were going to have to leave! Great work everyone!
