Drift Inn

Affectionately named Drift Inn, this 1958 Back River cottage boasts incredible coastal charm! A vintage sign and a white picket fence invite you inside, where you’ll find a fully remodeled interior. Highlights of this four-bedroom retreat include a screened porch, a fire pit, and mid-century modern touches. Back River fishing pier and serene “secret beach” are just steps from your front door. Launch a kayak at Alley 3 boat ramp, just minutes away.

The open living room is outfitted with three armchairs and a comfy sofa. Watch a movie on the 42-inch flat-screen TV, equipped with a DVD player. When you get hungry, whip up tasty meals in the well-equipped kitchen, detailed with a full suite of stainless steel appliances. When it's time to eat, gather at the dining table for eight. At bedtime, you'll find quiet privacy in the main bedroom, featuring a 32-inch flat-screen TV, a bistro table for two, and an en suite bathroom. A variety of sleeping arrangements in the remaining three bedrooms offer something for every group size.

Spend leisurely afternoons on your screened porch, complete with a patio set for five, two bistro tables, and a hammock. An outdoor shower comes in handy for rinsing off after fun-filled beach days. When evening falls, sizzle kebabs on the gas grill in the front yard and lounge in the four Adirondack chairs and roast marshmallows around the fire pit.

Great location
The house was just perfect for 7 adults. Kitchen was large and so were the bedrooms. We were steps away from a dock to an inlet w beach. Minutes away from restaurants and shopping. Took about 30 min to get to Savannah and had great weather. Will come back

Unhappy at Drift Inn
The spacious inside floor plan was very nice and unexpected. The closed in side porch was also a nice touch. Kitchen was spacious however drawback was no cabinet space available for personal storage use. Much of the items stored were outdated and clearly used as a “old stuff storage” for owners. The dining table was very nice. Issues were outside area not cleaned and very congestive. Not conducive to outdoor enjoyment at all! The fire pit was broken with a hole in it as well as a leg missing. However this ended up a non issue as we had no place safe to utilize a fire pit altogether. Bushes too grown up, outdoor shower completely unavailable, back yard completely unkept and uninviting. No outdoor area cleared for socializing!! There were also issues with bathroom sink not installed properly and unstable. Bathroom towel rod coming out of concrete wall.

My two adult sons and their girlfriends and me had a great time in Tybee. Great laid back vibe, and this week was quieter at the end of the summer. We got in our sightseeing, nature hikes, time on the beach as well as several trips into Savannah which is so close. Folks in town were very friendly and we would love to come back (albeit a little cooler temperatures time).
