ELEGANT PENTHOUSE IN 3RD HOUSE FROM THE BEACH. WIFI. PET FRIENDLY.

A note that I sent to the owners:

"We loved staying at your place. Thank you so much for making it available to families with dogs like us. We felt very 'at home', and loved the relaxed feel, and the open windows and doors and the porch and the kitchen and....everything! It suited us very well."

A note to travelers:

"Ted is very nice to talk to on the phone, and very helpful. This is a wonderful place to stay - we felt like it was "our home" for the time that we were there. The space felt large - so much better than a hotel room! You cannot beat being upstairs looking out at the tree tops, and having the breezes blowing in the windows. Highly recommended by me, my husband, my college age son, and my 65 pound happy dog."

This condo/penthouse was exactly as described and better! It was very clean upon arrival and I am very much a clean freak so that is saying alot. It is a very relaxing environment. Couches are comfy as are the beds. The beach is such a short walk away it fabulous! There are also so many great restaurants nearby so if you don't want to cook make sure you visit them. The good thing is that cooking is a possibility though. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking with all the pots, pans and utensils you would ever need (even measuring cups). My husband and I were pleased with most everything about this house. We were unable to set the air lower than 73 degrees farenheit, which at night can get pretty warm. Overall though this was a wonderful place I would definately consider staying at again.

Tybee was a great location and very relaxing. And although the location was great the third floor apartment could use some attention. The place had been cleaned before we got there but we could tell some things could use more attention. The shower curtain had mildew on it which can be expected in location but it's such an easy fix to be overlooked. Same with the amenities. Beach chairs and wason where available but they had all been left out in the weather and were either muddy or water poured out of the framework. We couldn't really use the outside shower to rinse off since there were beach toys and other things piled up around it. We could have moved it but really we expected the place would be checked after each renter. When we got there on Saturday the trash cans were still full as well as recycle which comes Tue. and Fri. according to the notes left for us. So we put them out on Tue. just thought whoever cleaned or checked the place after the last renter would have noticed that. We did email the owner with our concerns about the lack of upkeep and emailed him a few pictures but did not get any response The outside looked a bit overgrown and is probably why we had cockroaches the one night. There again to be expected in the south but a little maintenance would probably help. The grills were rusty so we didn't cookout as were the two metal chair and table on the deck. The deck was great to sit on and the rocker and wicker furniture were comfortable. We really did enjoy our stay on Tybee and will probably be returning next year just not in the same rental. Food on Tybee was great everywhere we went and it was a very relaxing atmosphere. We walked the beach several times a day and enjoyed the quietness of the north beach area. One Item we found out after we got to Tybee is that parking is free at most all of the rentals but any public parking for beach access is pay by meters only so finding a rental close to the beach is important if you plan on enjoying it. The huge ships going in and out of the port were interesting to watch and the dolphins were always fun to watch around the jetties. We loved sitting on the beach in the evenings just listening to the sound of the waves. We had planned on exploring Savannah but will have to save that for another trip as we far to busy enjoying the island. It really was a great place to visit. From Northern Indiana.
