About this property
Romantic Beach Hideaway ,Private Indoor Hot Tub, Only blocks to River Beaches
Designed for two, the Herons' Nest condo is a private and unique hideaway. Nestled in Tybee's historical Venetian Terrace District and sandwiched between the Atlantic Ocean and the Back River Inlet. The Herons' Nest offers a quiet retreat for honeymoons, anniversaries and rest and relaxation for hardworking couples. Lovingly designed by Tybee artists, Fred and Malinda Urvant, the condo reflects their eclectic Art-Deco style of design. Original paintings by the late Soho artist Larry Urvant and photographs by Fred Urvant adorn the walls. Restored Art-Deco furnishings and white tile floors complete the condo's cozy design.
Play on Tybee's scenic Back River Beaches and return to your own private tropical garden to rest and relax. Enjoy a cool drink on your spacious screened porch or soak in the warm waters of your own private 4-person Jacuzzi. Rejuvenate in a soft-water shower and wrap yourself in fluffy towels of Egyptian cotton and sleep on European style linens. Luxury at the beach is only a moment away during your stay at the Herons' Nest. We invite you to experience the true flavor of Tybee. Beautiful beaches, scenic landscapes, historic sites, excellent cuisine and a laid-back 1950's culture. Since the early 1900's Tybee has been called a utopia and we could not agree more. Please join us at the Herons' Nest where pleasant memories begin.

Our stay was very cozy with close proximity to everything we needed. Was a nice short walk to the beach and also offered privacy in our down time. The people and food in the area were fantastic to be around. Would highly recommend.
Beautiful little cottage experience with all our needs met and in a quiet and peaceful space. Would certainly recommend to another couple as it really just was super peaceful and calm.
We loved our stay on the island. The home was just the right size for 2 guests. It is also in a great location within walking distance to local shops and restaurants. I would defiantly recommend this place to anyone looking to get away for a weekend stay at the beach
Very nice place to stay for a couple. Great location, very clean in a quiet neighborhood. We would love to come again when it’s cold outside so we could take advantage of the hot tub.
The place is secluded and great walking distance from the heart of Tybee Island! We enjoyed the hot tub and cozy cottage with screened in porch. Highly recommended for couples looking to get away together
This home was so quiet and cozy. The enclosed patio and garden made it feel like our own little paradise. The owners are wonderful and the booking includes everything you need for the perfect beach getaway!
We enjoyed this location and property so much. It was perfect for a Romantic weekend getaway. This location had everything you need and more. We will definitely be back. Walking distance To the beach and all the restaurants was super convenient.
Loved our 3 day stay over St.Patty’s weekend. This place is close to everything. 3 min walk to secluded Tybee River beach. Plus, 5 min walk to one of the best restaurants in the island,AJ’s. The Herrons Nest is comfortable, and the neighborhood is quiet and clean. Easy to get a Uber for a jaunt to Savannah. Thank you for a very well hosted stay on Tybee.
It was private we were not forced to meet with the owner but that the same time we knew that if we needed something we could have contacted them. It was beautiful.
We love Tybee! This property is great for privacy and relaxation. I loved that we stayed within a short bike ride to the beach and the main strip of this quaint little beach town. The 2 bikes came in handy and we enjoyed the November cool weather. Weather was perfect. Sunsets at Tybee are gorgeous. You can tell the owners have this down to a science. Everything you need is at the property. We hope to come back again - maybe next time during the summer season with our little one!
Nice cottage for 2. We enjoyed our stay very much. Host was very nice and allowed an early check in, which was very helpful. Cottage just as described. Just a 2 night getaway before family descended for Christmas. Would suggest upgrading the bed linens, thin and wouldn’t stay on the bed. And although there was a nice selection of movies, the DVD player didn’t work and requests for help went unanswered.
The space was lovely. We had 4 stars for the following reason. Hosts were staying upstairs and we thought we would have the whole place private. I accidentally walked into the private quarters upon arrival and was greeted by a cat.
We weren't informed of check in process until asked - ended up being easy - everything unlocked and open, but would have liked to know ahead of time.
Location was wonderful and all accommodations needed were provided.
