Photos and Description of the Tybee Island vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2.5+ Baths, (Sleeps 6-7)

Our home is nestled in between Jaycee Park and the historical Officers Row homes that were built as part of Fort Screvens. We have a walking right of way to the ocean through the yard of one of those big Victorians and through what was once the parade grounds for the fort for a total of 2 blocks. There you'll find miles of beach to walk or bike on at low tide and keep your eyes open for dolphin sightings.

Our beautiful, quiet neighborhood is full of 200 year old live oak trees, many draped with Spanish moss. We have a view of the antique Tybee Lighthouse from our porch and thin ocean views from one of the second floor bedrooms and full bath. The park behind our home has a basketball court, walking/bike paths, a softball field and playground, etc.

There are many good restaurants on the island and our favorite casual family bar, Huc a Poos is easily bikable. North Beach Grill and Sundae Cafe are within walking distance. There are two dog parks a few blocks north of our home--one for dogs under 20 pounds and one for everyone else to run in a fenced in environment.

Check-in is 4 p.m. Checkout is 11 a.m. unless other arrangements have been made.

About annie estes

We came to Tybee in January, 2005 for a getaway vacation. We rented a place for 6 weeks and didn't want to leave. We thought we would begin exploring various locations each winter before deciding where we would want to purchase a retirement place. Once on Tybee we knew we didn't need to see any other places and bought a building lot before we left. We built a very spatially and energy efficient home in 2008 we know you will love. We would live in this house year-round if it were not for grandchildren we want to spend time with in VA and CT. Cliff is a retired college math professor and Annie owns Mystic Cooking School in CT. This photo was taken on River Street, Savannah our first winter here with our American Bulldog, Dottie.

annie estes purchased this house in 2008
Why annie estes chose Tybee Island

We were thrilled to find such a casual small town with such a relaxed pace. It is a pleasure to ride our bikes to the library, our little IGA grocery store, on the beach at low tide, and to friendly bars and restaurants. The residents are friendly and made us feel right at home. A quick trip in the car and we're in a good-sized city with all the shopping, restaurants, and more cultural offerings than you have time for--lot of college students to keep things hopping.

What makes this house unique

We have a great collection of cookbooks to browse or actually use, some DVDs (especially chick flicks and baseball movies) and CDs (playable in the DVD player), and four beach cruisers to ride on the beach at low tide or to peddle around the island. There are a few toddler toys, sippie cups and baby dishes, an umbrella stroller, running stroller, booster seat, and kiddie tables with two chairs.

Perfect family get-a-way

Everything was just a described! The house was so cute and plenty of room for all. The owners were wonderful to work with and gave us tips on things to do and places to go. It was nice to have bikes provided as the neighborhoods are perfect for riding around. Very close to North Beach, we recommend this house to anyone visiting Tybee (especially if you are bringing a pet)! Thanks again.

Exactly What We Needed

5 of 5
Submitted: June 26, 2011 Stayed: June 2011
The only problem we encountered was the last day -- we had to leave! This was our first trip to Tybee Island and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We couldn't have picked a better place to spend the week. The home is enviting and spacious. A very comfortable home, we felt very much at home here... maybe it was the atmosphere, or maybe the owner's ability to give such detail that you feel as though you've been there before. The walk to the beach was a pleasant stroll - doesn't feel like two blocks. I believe we got in the car only twice - once to go to Savannah and another time to ride over to take a dolphin tour. After spending nearly four months traveling to and from a hospital an hour away to visit and help with my mother, a relaxing vacation is exactly what we needed.

Owner's Response: With every kind review like yours, I wish I was there to show you around! We'll continue to share tidbits as we discover them, like tiny off-the-beaten-path restaurants, etc. so you'll just have to come back. Hope you are truly rejuvenated.

Great Family Retreat

5 of 5
Submitted: June 3, 2011 Stayed: May 2011
It was our pleasure to spend Memorial Day weekend at this incredibly charming home. We arrived around 11pm to a well-lit, inviting space and immediately felt at home. My 4-year old loved the kid's items that were available on the property (beach toys, chairs, scooter, etc.); we loved the short walk to the beach (across the street, through historic Officers' Row) and the convenience of Jaycee park for morning bike rides (just behind the property)! Annie was a pleasure to work with and I'd recommend this rental to anyone in search of a a peaceful getaway from City living.

Christmas at Tybee

5 of 5
Submitted: January 14, 2011 Stayed: December 2010
We spent Christmas of 2010 at this great house. It was so welcoming and relaxing. The dog with us loved it. The owners gave us lots of information such as the IGA store is great, as is Huc-A-Poo's. We really didn't explore much --- just enjoyed being with family. The house was pretty much as described. It is a work in progress, but that just made us relax more. There were people from 31 to 71 years old staying in the house, plus the dog. Family who lived close by were 37 to 8 months.old, and loved visiting us. We would really like to do this again.

Great Location

5 of 5
Submitted: June 26, 2010 Stayed: June 2010
Wow! What a great vacation home. It is perfectly located next to Jaycee Park which has a great bike trail, basketball court, beautiful trees, and a baseball field. The home is in walking (or biking) distance to the Tybee Island Lighthouse, and it's only 2 very short blocks from the beach. The house is "pet friendly" and has a "dog door" that leads to a fenced in area outside. Very convenient for pets! The house itself is very unique in design with lots of character and lots of room. We absolutely loved it! This home is by far the best vacation rental we've ever stayed in.

Owner's Response: We're so glad you enjoyed our home. If we didn't have very cute grandchildren in CT and VA, we would hardly ever leave here! Hope you can come back again.
