BEACHFRONT LUXURY CONDO WITH 3 POOLS 1 BR BEACHSIDE COLONY

Vic's Tybee Island condo was the perfect home base for a relaxing Tybee Island/Savannah vacation. My girlfriend and I split our vacation in half with equal parts lounging on the beach and in the complex's pools, then making our way into Savannah - a 25-minute drive - for the remainder of our time. The largest pool is heated, while the other two are not. It was nice having the bar right on the pool's deck and a few steps from the rental.

In mid-May, the ocean was chilly but the weather was perfect for hanging out at the beach and soaking in the sun and beautiful scenery - mid-70s to mid-80s. If you stay here, you have to wake up to see the sunrise at least one morning from the balcony or beach. We loved waking up each day or returning from exploring to see the condo's unobstructed and gorgeous ocean view. In the afternoons, we pulled out the sofa bed and took a nap to the sound of the ocean.

The condo is clearly well maintained and everything was in working order. We brought Apple TV and used the unit's excellent Wi-Fi connection to stream a weekly TV show we couldn't miss.

For food in the area, Sundae Cafe and Gerald's Pig and Shrimp are the two must go-to restaurants on the island. Also, Jitterbug is the place to be for coffee or espresso in the morning. Although AJ's sounded promising with the sun setting over the bay at night, it was a buggy mess and the fried food was average at best.

Vic was super helpful answering questions and giving us everything we needed for the stay. We would for sure go back or recommend this to family and friends.

My boyfriend and I wanted to get away for a few days and this condo was perfect for us. It is right on the beach, and we watched the sunrise almost every day we were there. The condo is very clean. The bed is super comfy. The condo has a great location. We walked to lots of nearby places. We would recommend this condo and we would definately stay there again.

When researching for a place to stay near Savannah, this was the only one I found that had consistently outstanding reviews by those booking a place. The reviews were justified 100%. The owner, did an outstanding job outfitting the condo and sees that it is very well maintained. He did a fine job of staying in touch with us prior to the trip, with lots of advice. We have already recommended the place to several friends.

While we did go into Savannah several times, the most enjoyable aspect of our trip was spending our days on Tybee Island. The shopping everywhere we went , both on the island and in Savannah, was "touristy", i.e. beachwraps, sunglasses, hats, etc. We sat on the condo's balcony for hours and hours enjoying the ocean and beach right in front of us. The location of the condo in the complex was very convenient. The 3 pools and the on-site restaurant (Marlin Monroe's) was just steps away. Beach access was very close too. The weather this time of year was just right. Daily highs in the upper 60's to the middle 70's, with lows between the mid 50's to mid 60's. We were lucky in that we caught 6 out of seven days with lots of sun.

There are more than enough restaurants close to the condo to last anyone a week of eating out. Here are our ratings of those we tried for evening meals: Sundae's: A+. The Crab Shack: A. AJ's Dockside: C+. Light House Pizza: A. Uncle Bubba's: A. Marlin Monroe's: B-. We both love seafood and truly had our fill of it on this trip! Hint: The Fried Green Tomatoes at Sundaes and the Grilled Oysters at Uncle Bubba's are a must!

We thoroughly enjoyed the Old Town Trolley Tour in Savannah. Our driver did a very good job. We also enjoyed driving all around the Historic District, and River Street. Our GPS made it all a snap.

If you're a light house junkie, the Tybee Light and Museum is a worthwhile stop. Fort Pulaski was also very interesting, with excellent lectures on the site's involvement in the Civil War.
