Luxury Oceanfront Home – Spacious Family Retreat Steps from the Beach

Luxury Oceanfront Cottage on Tybee Island to enjoy year round – Spacious, Stylish, and Steps from the Beach

Welcome to your luxurious oceanfront cottage on Tybee Island, an inviting retreat just steps from the soft, sandy beach. Designed for comfort and connection, this Tybee vacation rental seamlessly blends coastal charm with modern amenities — perfect for families and friends seeking a touch of luxury amidst the salt air.

Inside, the open living space features hardwood floors, soothing coastal décor, and sunlight streaming through expansive windows. A fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals and snacks, while the beach cart and chairs help you settle into seaside days with ease. After a day in the sun, gather for grilled dinners on the gas BBQ or unwind with sunset cocktails on the spacious oceanfront porch — the heart of this beach house.

Upstairs, the primary suite offers a king-size bed and private en suite bathroom, while the second bedroom includes two queen beds — ideal for kids, couples, or close friends. A cozy den with a twin daybed provides extra sleeping space or a quiet nook for reading with an ocean breeze.

Downstairs, the lower level becomes a fun hideaway for guests of all ages, featuring a TV lounge, a kitchenette with a full refrigerator, and three additional bedrooms (each with twin beds). Two bathrooms, including an en suite, offer comfort and privacy for everyone.

Throughout the home, enjoy modern conveniences like Wi-Fi, a washer and dryer, and smart TVs — making your stay as effortless as it is enjoyable.

The highlight of this cottage is its wraparound beachfront porch, where you can watch the sun rise, dolphins play, and the sky fade into Tybee’s signature sunset hues. The furnished deck is perfect for outdoor dining, yoga at sunrise, or simply soaking up the peace that makes Tybee Island so special.

While this home is not accessible by golf cart due to being landlocked, its exceptional location and thoughtful design more than make up for it. Here, you’ll find the best of Tybee Island living — the sound of the surf, the warmth of coastal light, and a place where every moment feels like vacation.

The highlight of the cottage is its spacious porch, spanning the entire beachfront side, where you can gather with loved ones to admire breathtaking sunsets and savor delightful cocktails.

Great getaway!

The propery was perfect for our family beach trip. The location to the beach, shops, restaurants and grocery store was ideal. The kitchen was well stocked with necessary tools for cooking/ eating-in/grilling. The property manager and guest services were a pleasure to work with. We look forward to visiting again soon!

Wonderful Home

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful Tybee home during spring break! The house was spacious and comfortably fit our family of eight. We especially loved the large, open back porch—it was the perfect spot for relaxing and spending time together. Each room was roomy and well-appointed, giving everyone space to unwind. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook meals throughout the week, and the overall layout made it easy to lounge and enjoy our time. We’d definitely stay here again!

Beach Front Cousins’ Week

Wonderful location for 9 girl cousins to spend a week. So convenient to walk to the beach. We shared beautiful photos of sunrises and sunsets. 4 bathrooms were great for 9 women. We loved being out on the deck and there was plenty of room inside the upstairs living room to eat, play games, make tee shirt designs, and talk. The kitchen was a little tight when more than 2 were there but we cooked breakfasts, lunches and dinners together. The twin beds downstairs were comfortable. The king size bed could use a new mattress. The decor was lovely and we took pictures of some cute ideas for decorating. Overall, everyone had a fantastic week together in this house.

Quiet Weekend

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Since our original plans to NC mountains had to be cancelled due to hurricane destruction, we chose Tybee on a whim. What a quiet relaxing weekend in a quaint cottage perfectly placed by the ocean. We certainly enjoyed the cottage, the location, the tranquility of the island, the southern hospitality, and the delicious restaurants in close proximity. Would highly recommend this cottage/company to anyone interested in an enjoyable getaway.

The PERFECT beach house!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a family reunion there after a Savannah wedding. It was phenomenal! Wonderful common areas to master and relax: nice living room, large dining room table, large kitchen, fabulous screened/enclosed porch, and lovely deck. More downstairs too. The location was perfect - right on the beach, especially good for small children, and just a few steps from the IGA. We had 4 couples, so the 4 full baths were fantastic.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful view, first house from beach access. Spacious screen porch and a deck overlooking the dunes and ocean. Spent every evening on the deck enjoying the breeze. Lots of bedrooms, lots of seating and well appointed. Appreciated that there were several beach chairs (old, but fine), and good beach umbrellas. Would stay here again. Be sure to bring beach towels.
