Lovely bungalow near the beach

We found the house to be charming with all the amenities we needed and even it just having 1 bathroom was not a problem for our family of 4. Our favorite part was the 3 minute walk to the beach! The beds were comfortable, the living room as well, and we appreciated the nicely stocked kitchen.

Such an amazing time, we hope to go back! We highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Tybee Island looking for a comfortable, cozy stay!

Just As Advertised!

While my trip did not end so well, the stay itself was wonderful! The cottage was so clean, comfy, and cute. It was stocked with the basic essentials incase we didn’t have our own. The Host was so communicative and helpful before, during, and even after my stay. I would definitely recommend staying here and I personally would stay here again!

Little Charmer

Great cottage, but it could use some warmth. Some rugs and artwork would do a lot. Also, the backyard could use some trimming.

A few items olive oil spray and coffee creamer and tea would be a welcome touch. A few extra scrubbers for pan sticks as well since there is not a dishwasher.

Cottage stay

Very quaint cottage, very cute inside, outside of property wasn’t really taken care of garage. Cottage was a little rundown, the only thing bad I would say about the cottage is the kitchen window needs a blind or curtain didn’t work on the remote so it was a very loud on. But the location is great very close to the beach and the inside of the cottage was decorated very cute and more updated..

Price & Location Perfection

This little cottage was the perfect mix of price and location. There are closer more expensive places, and there are further less expensive places. But this property was affordable with an easy 3-minute walk from door to sand. Public Beach access #10 is in the middle of the island and never crowded (in late July). We didn't use the pool at the Palms, but it would've been an even shorter walk. The local grocery (IGA) is just a 5 minute walk, but expect a 20+ minute walk (or short drive) north or south for restaurants and shopping. Our kids (13 and 11) each had a twin bed (didn't use the 3rd trundle), and my wife and I shared the comfy king. Shirley Road is quiet and private so the outdoor shower worked for rinsing off sand after a day at the beach, but also as a regular shower when needed.

Cute & Cozy!

This little cottage is so cute and idyllic. It's perfectly appointed with great living spaces and bedrooms for a small family. Everything is charming and has many of the quaint details of a vintage cottage but with essential updates like a cold AC, clean refrigerator, ceiling fans, working light fixtures with nice lighting, and comfortable beds. The screen porch and the outside patio are so adorable and we really enjoyed time in each of these spaces. We also loved the outdoor shower. It was not gross and it was private enough to use each day. The close proximity to the beach was great and we brought our bikes, so being located in the mid-beach area we were easily able to bike the whole island. Our only suggestion would be to have proper bedding on all of the beds. Only one of the beds included sheets and a blanket, all of them had sheets, and one didn't have a mattress pad. We will definitely come back and bring bedding along with us, which is what we suggest to anyone renting this sweet little cottage!

Great Location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was 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: The Cottage is in a convenient location that was pleasantly quiet even on a holiday weekend. It is, however, in need of TLC. It's ready for a coat of paint, a bit of scrubbing here and there, but most importantly for this septuagenarian, furniture and mattress that not only look good but that are comfortable. Fortunately, I had an extra beach chair that I used to sit in while I was there and spent some time with family who were staying a few blocks away. As to the last question in the survey about recommending it to a friend, there is no option for anything other than a Yes or No answer, when the answer actually is "it depends." I'm sure that young people who are seldom in the Cottage and are a bit messy themselves would find it great. It really does have everything you need (thought skimpy on toilet tissue & shampoo).

Reviewer Comments: Maintenance issues: back door's knob on the inside is broken and kept falling off. Dead bolt on the front door would not release the lock, so if the door closed behind you when you went to the front porch someone would have to let you back in to the main part of the house.
