Family woman's trip
We do a family women's trip every few years. We had 10 of us this year. The house had everything we could have needed. We loved the back screen porch for lounging around, and the outdoor shower! Also the walk to the beach and shops was not far.

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.

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.

Funky House with Great Porch
Looks can be deceiving! When we arrived and saw the house, I was concerned. This was our first time in Tybee and we really didn't know what to expect. From the outside the house appears really rundown. But inside it's truly wonderful! The house is well-furnished, including the large diving room table which hosted game nights for us several evenings. And of course the large screened-in porch! We spent a lot of time relaxing and enjoying the quiet of the neighborhood.

The communication with the owner began way before check in and she kept the lines open. Didnt have to mess with voice mail when I had a problem. Got a polite personal answer everytime. Plenty of room for our party of 6 adults. Charming decorations and we all felt right at home. The side porch was a popular gathering place. We had a great time.
