Cute cottage

The cottage was very comfortable and spacious enough for our family to enjoy. The location was excellent and two restaurants were within walking distance. Enjoyed playing corn hole in the spacious yard. Would definitely come back.

Wonderful stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We greatly enjoyed our time on Tybee! House was very accommodating for the amount of people that stayed. Location was great as the back river was within walking distance. Only thing I would suggest would be swapping light fixtures out for ceiling fans (living room, twin bed bedroom) as some of the rooms didn't cool as well as others. All in all, great time and experience!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our Flip Flop House was all we hoped it would be . . . charming decor, side porch perfect for our morning coffee, proximity to AJ's Dockside & gorgeous sunsets, quiet neighborhood, outdoor outlet to charge our golf cart. We were not disappointed in any aspect of our stay (except maybe the dog hair in the corners & dog slobber on the windows, lol).

Tybee is our new favorite getaway and FFH is in a great location-so quiet and peaceful and a great area for walks! We loved hopping over to AJs for a bite and beautiful views! We had plenty of room for our ladies and owners are so sweet to provide trash bags and other things to accommodate guests. We love the charm of these older beach homes! Don’t ever change!!!

Historic Charm

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This charming cottage provided ample private space for our group with a large living and dining room plus a huge screened porch for us all to gather. We enjoyed the quiet area and were not bothered by the restaurant parking across the street. This is our second time renting this house and we all agreed a return visit is a must! We also loved the mermaids, especially the wonderful Tammy, who not only made sure the house was clean and welcoming, but, when they learned it was a birthday trip, left champagne and a birthday card! It doesn’t get nicer than that!

We came down for just a getaway weekend and the cottage was clean, comfortable, and the proximity to AJs was perfect for us as we had dinner reservations there. Also, the yard is big and without those pesky Tybee sand spurs which my fur baby really appreciated. I would definitely like to stay here again.
