2 Bedroom 1 1/2 Bath Vintage Cottage 1 1/2 Blocks From Beach

The Summer House on the Island of Tybee is located in a quiet friendly neighborhood, within walking distance to almost everything on the island. The house is a circa 1925 home that has been lovingly restored to keep up with the times, but retains 'The Summer House' charm. The caretaker lives on the property in the lower level. There are three porches, a porch swing, an outdoor shower, a small yard and gardens to enjoy.
Bicycles and pedestrians walk on the street, the market is a few doors away, the beach which is 1 1/2 blocks away is the most favored on the island. There are cabs to take you most anywhere else on the island.
The house is bright and airy. It has 2 bedrooms. No. 1 has a queen bed. No. 2 has two bunk beds all twin sized and sleeps 4.
There is one bath that has a tub/shower, there is an outdoor shower under the back stairs. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the conveniences of your own home, there is even a drawer full of spices for your use.
Amenities include, TV, internet, an assortment of toys and games for beach and home. The home is centrally cooled with ceiling fans in each room, with the exception of the bunk room which has a portable fan.
The is a wagon to take to the beach and a wheeled cart as well. There are toys for the beach, chairs, and an umbrella, for your enjoyment.
I live in the house as well, in the first level. We share the driveway, laundry room and back patio. I am excited to have visitors and if I don't hear you - I don't think you are having fun!

The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Sweet Cottage convenient to the beach
My daughter, sister, and I enjoyed staying in this sweet cottage! The home is great for a small, young family. It’s a quick walk to the beach and Ms. Caren has plenty of beach supplies for use (wagon, chairs, toys!) which makes packing simple. Overall, it was a pleasant stay!

Great location, comfortable cottage
We loved staying at this sweet little cottage, it was clean well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. It was great to be able to walk one block to the beach and having the grocery store so close another plus. Caren was very helpful and lovely to meet.

A new Favorite location!
We had an absolutely fantastic time! There is nothing bad to say about our stay at all! The location is perfect, the neighborhood is perfect, and the privacy is perfect. For anyone who is not considering staying here because the host lives nearby, do NOT LET THAT STOP YOU from enjoying this property! I have four small kids, extremely loud and rambunctious, the kind you have to apologize to your neighbors about. Not once did they seem to even phase Mrs. Caren at all! Affordability, proximity to the store and the beach, and the fact that the 11th street beach access is the least populated access in the area make this property a hidden Gem. If its available, BOOK IT! We will be coming back next year for sure!

A+ Vacation Rental Experience!
We'd gladly choose Caren's place again, even though (as some reviews have mentioned) it's across the street from the IGA and experiences delivery noise in the morning. That was no bother to us at all. This one checks all the boxes! Comfortable, convenient, clean, beautifully decorated, amenities like outdoor shower and beach toys, appointed well for home cooking. On top of that, we experienced great communication with the host (who was very patient with us as we couldn't make up our mind whether to come or not with a hurricane forecasted to pass through). We're so glad we did! Oh, and the master bed had the most comfortable mattress, highest quality covers, and plushest pillow of any rental we've stayed in. Perfect for a beach getaway.

Wonderful Place and Great Location!
The house was located close to the beach and half a block from the grocery store. So cute and lots of room. Neighborhood was safe and family friendly, we were able to let the kids bike up and down the street without worry. I loved the huge screened-in front porch, which made morning coffee so enjoyable. The host was very responsive and friendly. The only upgrade needed was the main shower, but all else was PREFECT! We will stay again, hopefully soon. :)

Perfect Beach House
We had a fantastic experience! The house was cozy and perfect for us, we were instantly comfortable. We spent many evenings out on the screened in porch. Super close to the beach, just a short walk. The wagon (available to use with the rental) was a lifesaver!

Beautiful and relaxing
It was a very welcoming and beautiful apartment. I was slightly concerned that traffic/noise from the IGA may be too much. We live in the country and not use to noise. I was pleasantly surprised that this was minimal. It was SO relaxing. I will definitely return. Just as a side note, it has 1 full bath. No additional 1/2 bath. Not an issue to us, just wanted make others aware.

A wonderful home away from home for a relaxing girls’ week
Only a block and a half from the beach in a quiet, shaded neighborhood, we completely enjoyed our stay. The screened porch was perfect for quiet mornings and fun evenings laughing and catching up. The beach chairs, wagon, and beach umbrella were much appreciated. Thank you, Caren, for a great week!

Great place to stay at Tybee
Cute summer house in terrific location mid-beach. Very clean and cute decor. Perfect for a family. We were there the record hottest week of the year and the AC struggled to stay cool. But, overall, great stay and would definitely come again. One of our favorite Tybee spots!

older home with character
Sweet, older home with personal touches. Very clean. Easy walk to beach - mid-island so a little less crowded than the south end. Kitchen had all we needed from spices to pots/pans to dishes/glasses/silverware; large refrigerator. Great wifi. Relaxing screened porch. Easy access to hose/bucket to wash off sand. Many beach items available - although we didn't use, as we brought our own. You do need to bring your own beach towels (knew this ahead of time). Thankful for laundry access, although shared in a small space with the landlord - not in the apartment (FYI). Good communication with the hostess. My family said they slept the best in all our travels at this place. Surprisingly, so did I, as the mattress was softer than I am used to. If you are looking for a modern, newer, updated stay, this is not for you. If you like quaint older island beach homes, this works. We had a relaxing and delightful stay here. Thank you!

Perfect beach bungalow for family
The home was clean and airy, with an open layout and a cool beachy vibe. Great light throughout. Loved the screened in porch, where we ate most of our meals. Great for family, with little things like the basic beach essentials and a pack and play already here. Quiet location, close to everything. Would recommend!
