Serenity at the Sea is a property that lives up to its name for those seeking Tybee Island vacation homes located on the island's back-river side directly on Back River Beach. While this slice of Tybee is every bit as beautiful as other "touristy" spots, it offers a certain level of hiddenness that some visitors appreciate. Often referred to as the "secret beach" of Tybee Island, Back River Beach offers a wide stretch of shore with soft sand and rolling waves. Its proximity to Highway 80 makes it a convenient choice for travelers who plan to dip into Savannah for a day of sightseeing while staying at Tybee vacation rentals.
While Serenity at the Sea offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the beauty of Back River Beach, the home still allows guests to visit other popular attractions and neighborhoods throughout Tybee. South Beach is always a must when visiting coastal Georgia! As the most popular beach of Tybee Island, South Beach offers a sprawling setting for sunbathing and water sports. The Tybee Island Pier is a dreamy spot for sunrises and photo opportunities. Tybee is also a place where visitors can tap into the magic of nature among unspoiled marshes and dunes.
A visit to the Tybee Island Light Station and Museum is a classic choice that helps visitors to truly fall in love with this barrier island near Savannah. Found on Meddin Drive next to the Savannah River entrance, Tybee's famed lighthouse has stood tall since 1736. In fact, it's credited with being both the oldest and tallest lighthouse in the Peach State. Visitors can spend a day touring the lighthouse and accompanying grounds to get a feel for what a day in the life of a lighthouse keeper was like!
Other top Tybee Island attractions to consider include the Tybee Island Museum and Science Center, Fort Pulaski National Monument, Tybee Island Museum at the Battery Garland, the Tybee Post Theatre, North Beach, South Beach, and Mid Beach. For those hoping to keep active during a Tybee Island vacation, there are boundless options for ocean kayaking and beach hikes. While it's likely that guests will spot dolphins when hanging around Back River Beach, there are also opportunities to board day cruises that bring guests out to waters where Georgia's dolphins are known to frolic! Tybee Island is also a great place to celebrate seasonal and cultural festivals. While Tybee Island Pirate Fest is the big draw every October, the rest of the year is filled with the Beach Bum Parade, Tybee Turtle Trot, Independence Day fireworks show, Labor Day Beach Bash, and more.

We enjoyed our stay at Serenity at the Sea. Perfect walking distance to beach and places to eat. The apartment was clean. However, the listing was very misleading. From the pictures and description you are lead to believe it is the whole house with a great screened in porch and perfect views. It is not an entire house, it is the bottom level of a house and there are zero views other than dunes. We would still stay here again, just wish the listing didn’t have us believing we were getting the whole house vs the ground floor of a home. Also, the king bed is very uncomfortable and uneven (head of the bed is lower than foot).
This place is cute and offers a lot of amenities. One thing we didn't realize until we received the check in instructions was that this is a downstairs apartment. Looking at the pictures, we assumed we would be in the upstairs and it never specifically says it's a downstairs or basement apartment in the description. The apartment was very nice and fit our needs well though. The kitchen is small with the table in the middle so having more than one person working in the kitchen at a time is a bit tight. I loved that the beach was a short walk away and the yard out side was small but pretty with palm trees and it has a hedge along the public beach access bordering the property so it makes it pretty private. There was no one else staying on the property while we were there although there is the upstairs apartment and another house attached to the one we stayed in. We loved the use of the two bicycles and used them a lot! We didn't get to use the kayaks that were there, although had we stayed more than 3 days we probably would have. There were several negatives. One being the keypad. The number 1 on the pad had to be punched super hard to make it work and sometimes we had to try the code several times before we were successful. Also the bed is comfy except it has a massive dip in the middle. I would definitely recommend this place to others although more than two people would be a tight fit in this apartment.
