Ebbtide 7BR Historic Beach Cottage Steps from the Ocean by Tybee Cottages

  • Discover Ebbtide, a beautifully restored 7-bedroom, 5-bathroom historic beach cottage on Tybee Island, just one house from the ocean on mid-island. Originally built in 1932, this classic raised beach home blends vintage Southern charm with modern comfort—perfect for large families or multi-generational getaways looking for an authentic Tybee vacation experience. What do we love about Ebbtide? Unbeatable Location Just Steps to the Beach: Ideally situated on a private lot just the second house from the beach, Ebbtide allows you to stroll to the sand in seconds. Located in the heart of mid-island Tybee, it offers convenient access to local shops, restaurants, and coastal adventures. Spacious Layout for Groups & Families: The top floor of Ebbtide features the main living space, along with five bedrooms and three full bathrooms, providing plenty of room to relax and reconnect. The ground level includes two additional bedrooms and two bathrooms, ideal for guests needing extra privacy. Step into the expansive, glassed-in sun porch, offering even more gathering space with multiple seating areas, a dining table for 6, an additional sleeper sofa, and another TV—a favorite hangout spot for guests of all ages. Coastal Style Meets Modern Comfort: The renovated kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, while retaining its cottage-style charm. The open-concept living and dining area seats 8 and includes a cozy fireplace and flat-screen TV—a perfect space for family movie nights or post-beach relaxation. Outdoor Living & Relaxation: Downstairs, enjoy a shaded garden-view patio complete with gliders, swings, a picnic table, and a gas grill—the ultimate spot for grilling out and enjoying the island breeze. The property also includes a laundry room with two washers and dryers. Fun Fact!

This is an exceptionally well restored and maintained historic beach house. The decor is beautiful, fun, and comfortable. Great location, responsive host (we left a pair of shoes there and they were helpful in getting them back to us). The very large air conditioned porch is a great luxury in the summertime.

Our extended family enjoyed this property. It is as described, large but unique. This property has so much character and a real beach vibe I remember from my childhood. The host provided great communication, but once we were in the house we did not need to contact them, everything was clean, comfortable, functional and very homey.

Great break at Ebbtide!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My daughter, Kate, and I spent her spring break at Tybee Island.
