About this property

Historic Beach Cottage, 100 Steps to the Dunes, April has been discounted.

Due to a last minute cancellation, dates in April have opened up. Open days have been discounted on VRBO $50 per night.

One of the best locations on Tybee. Private beach access. The south beach is a great place to avoid the crowds. An easy walk to shops, restaurants and the pier. Our renovated 1930 Tybee cottage is one of the few private cottages available to rent on the south end. From our extra lot, it is one hundred steps to the dunes. It is a two-story home with separate living areas on each level. The home is on a private lane with absolutely no traffic. Small children love playing in the tidal pools on the beaches on this end of the island. Sunsets over Little Tybee are amazing.

Unique for Tybee, the home comes with an extra lot to give kids more room to play. The extra lot also offers plenty of parking for a group getaway to the beach. House layout perfect for families with a family suite, play rooms and plenty of games. The location allows you to park your car and never drive again. Short walk to restaurants or just to get a snow cone.

The home is large enough for several families. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms with queen beds. The 'sun room' is a great place to gather as a group and includes a piano. It also has a queen sofa bed. In addition, there is a dining room off the kitchen, as well as a kitchen eating area with enough room to seat 10 for dinner. A perfect place for everyone to share their day over a great meal.

Downstairs there is a separate bedroom suite with a private bathroom, queen bed and two twin beds. The suite opens up to the back deck. The queen bed is separated from the twin beds with a privacy curtain. Downstairs also includes a play room, a queen size sofa bed with an extra memory foam topping for comfort, foosball game, extra 1/2 bath and laundry room. In addition, there is an outside private shower.

We love to entertain, so there are two decks outside. A large gas grill is also provided. The house also has high-speed internet, wifi and cable.

I am the owner and manage the property. You also won't have the hassle of dealing with a large management company.

Stargazer
The property is beautifully located on a quiet street, only a few steps to the beach. The check in process/host was very easy to work with. There were lots of towels for use which was nice, along with a washer and dryer. The home is older (as noted in the listing) — but slightly cluttered and some of the spaces are a little awkward/cramped. Ultimately the location is great and as stated the host was very good at communicating.

Christmas at Tybee
We had a great stay. The weather was unseasonably warm so we could get out and walk and enjoy the beautiful sunsets. Stargazer, was big enough for everyone to have there own space. I would stay at Stargazer again.

Sisters getaway
This house ( and host) was wonderful. Fully stocked with games, books, and even shampoo, conditioner and body wash! Detailed info from host, and easy walking distance to stores and restaurants, and of course, the beach. The beach was fabulous— no crowds ( October is a great time to visit Tybee).

About the host

Hosted by Mike Polak

Host profile image
This was our home for ten years where we raised our two children. We originally moved to Savannah in 2002 and bought the Tybee house a year later as a second home. Yet, we fell in love with Tybee and sold our Savannah home and moved in full-time early in 2005.

Eleven years ago we tearfully moved to Decatur, GA where I took a new job. Decatur is great, but we miss the stars, sunsets and sounds of the surf. We have two great boys who are now 25 and 21.

I have a health tech start-up and I teach political science at Georgia Tech. My wife is a middle school language arts teacher.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I for a number of years would visit Tybee and pull up our beach chairs on the beaches on the Southend to relax and watch the sunset. After the first sunset and cool breezes, we were hooked. When we decided to buy a home on Tybee, I spent months waiting for a home to come available between 18th Terrace and 19th Street.

The Southend is also close enough to the Pier, restaurants and shops to walk, yet far enough where the beach isn't as crowded. Better yet, just walk around the tip to the beaches facing 'Little Tybee' and it will be almost empty.

Also, the main road on Tybee Island ends on the Southend and becomes a narrow two lane road. Therefore, the cars go really slow. Therefore, we didn’t have to worry about my two sons walking down the street or riding their bikes.

Why did we choose this particular house? The location is perfect. Since we are only the 4th house from the ocean you can hear the waves and the surf. It is really nice to have private access to the beach as well. I also like historic houses, so the home still has its original 'bead board' from the 1930s. The extra lot is a big plus. We had plenty of room to park and it gave our two boys enough space to throw a baseball, play football or shoot baskets.

What makes this property unique

We love to invite people to our home. For entertaining, we have two decks surrounded by palm trees. We also converted the original porch into a 'sun room'. This room is large and surrounded by windows, so a great spot to share a cocktail with friends. When family visits us, we can put them in a separate suite downstairs. They really like the extra privacy.
