We really enjoyed our stay. It is in a great location. Away from the touristy south end of the island but close enough to hang out down there. Quiet neighborhood. Near some cute shops and restaurants. Chamaco taco is a fun little place to eat. Great food. Cute little coffee shop nearby, Tybean. 25 minute drive to downtown Savannah. We went back-and-forth for some SCAD activities and just hanging out downtown. Great sushi restaurant in the south end of Tybee called Raw Ingredients. Pier 16 in south tybee is a nice restaurant with good food. Yummy peach sangria.
The house was comfortable and large enough for four adults and five teenagers. Beds were comfortable. We didn’t eat much there. They have one large fridge and freezer in the kitchen. In the dining room they have an extra freezer/fridge. The freezer drawer on the big fridge wasn’t opening well so we didn’t use it. They have two coffee makers, one regular coffee maker for grounds and the other is a Keurig. Bring your own coffee. plenty of bath towels but bring your own beach towels. The beach is really close. A walk down the street and up a beach path for the neighborhood. Starfish everywhere, dolphins swimming in pods and sunrises and sunsets. It’s not bad being off the beach because all of the houses are a long walk to the beach itself anyway. The only thing you’re missing out on is a good view of the beach.
There is a pretty rundown house between you and a small view of the beach. We were quite busy going in and out of Savannah because our daughter is going to scad. There was one other issue in the house which I believe they are addressing. There was a leak in the dining room ceiling coming from the guestroom upstairs in the closet. There was mold and a smell in the closet. They are aware of it and hopefully taking care of it. We really enjoyed the house. Plenty of room. We didn’t spend much time outside on any of the porches or anything. Too hot. stormed often in the afternoon. Nice place. I think you’re paying more for the Location near the beach (Not on the beach) and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. Our boys went to the nearby fort. There are a couple nearby forts. We drove by the lighthouse but we did not visit it. The savanna underground ghost tour is really fun. I’ve done it twice. It’s a bus tour and a show. A little more pricey at $60 but worth it if you like something spooky. Overall we had a great trip.
