Visit to Tybee

What a great place! We met up with family to spend a couple of days in the Savannah and Tybee area. The house had plenty of space for all of us and plenty of furniture to all of us to relax. We can't wait to come back and spend more time in the area.

Loved the Flip Flop House

The cottage was charming and had so much character. Great location. Close enough to restaurants and bars in Tybee but far enough away where it was quiet and calm. We are already planning our next stay.

Wonderful stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We greatly enjoyed our time on Tybee! House was very accommodating for the amount of people that stayed. Location was great as the back river was within walking distance. Only thing I would suggest would be swapping light fixtures out for ceiling fans (living room, twin bed bedroom) as some of the rooms didn't cool as well as others. All in all, great time and experience!

Family woman's trip
