Private Pool + Whimsical Sleeping Porch Steps from Beach by Tybee Cottages

Welcome to Southern Tides, a dreamy beach house ready to welcome your friends and family to a blissful coastal retreat! Renowned interior decorator Jane Coslick has worked her magic in this charming beach house, presenting a simple, natural approach that brings out the beauty and warmth of this spacious and inviting Tybee cottage.

As you step inside, you'll be greeted by wood floors and ceilings, complemented by white walls adorned with colorful, "one of a kind" art, creating a serene and welcoming atmosphere. Comfortable slip-covered sofas and chairs invite you to relax and unwind, setting the stage for memorable moments with loved ones.

The first floor features an open living/dining/kitchen area, boasting a dining table comfortably seating eight, and a kitchen bar with three stools. The kitchen colors of gold and turquoise beautifully accentuate the new kitchen floor and appliances, inspiring culinary delights and enjoyable gatherings. Settle in on the comfortable sofa and chairs while watching TV, and let the low country boil celebrations begin.

The bedroom on this level offers two queen beds, accompanied by a small sitting area and a full bath. Adjacent to this room is a cool and colorful wet bar, fridge, and washer/dryer, along with an additional fridge for drinks and snacks, ensuring convenience for all.

On the second floor, you'll discover four bedrooms and a charming sleeping porch, each offering unique comforts. A king room features a private full bath, while the second room delights with four bunks, providing eight twin beds in total. The third room boasts two twin beds and porch access, inviting you to enjoy the refreshing sea breeze. The fourth bedroom offers a queen bed and a private half bath. A full bath with a double vanity and a tub/shower combo is conveniently located in the hall, while a lovely little covered porch includes a private shower and an adjoining sitting room, adorned with a denim slipcovered sofa and TV.

Within walking distance, you'll find the beach and the Back River, while the picket fenced-in backyard and pool create a tranquil haven. Tables with chairs and lounge chairs complete this restful picture, offering moments of relaxation and enjoyment.

The pleasures of Southern Tides are simply too plentiful to be contained in one description. We eagerly await the opportunity to host your friends and family in this one-of-a-kind cottage, where cherished memories and unforgettable moments await!

Fun filled family vacation!
Overall a positive experience. Did have some worries about lead paint exposure for my 2 yr old grandson simply due to the age of the house. Lots of pool fun and beach fun! Very short walk to the inlet and beach. Cute decor and well stocked kitchen.

We loved Tybee Island and will definitely be back.Thank you Tybee Cottages for helping us make great memories.

The bunk room for the kids was a hit! The upper level porch with shower was an adorable surprise. The shaded backyard with pool provides a great place to cool down after a long day at the beach. This place was perfect for our family and we plan to return!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've stayed at this location four times over the past several years. The property is in desperate need of maintenance and updating. It's not ventage pipes, it's poor construction. The first-floor bedroom, which was the old porch, is rotting out. The vintage windows are single glass, and the frame is rotten. It is a really nice location for what we like to do but we won't be coming back.The management is and has been very responsive. You get a 5.

Best beach vacation ever
Plenty of room and bathrooms for everyone. Clean, cozy and interesting house. Suggestions: Only a couple wash cloths and hand towels. Only 1 dish cloth and towell. Trees at pool need trimmed - sun only near shallow end and leaves accumulated in pool even if we cleaned it daily. The step replacement carpenter was on the property 3 days. Thank you for reimbursing 10 percent for less privacy and not using front steps. We would stay in this house again- so close to the beach and restaurants. Drew the caretaker was very helpful too.

Property is better in person!!
Such a great house. The house is more modern than the online pictures make it look. I was so pleasantly surprised. They had beach chairs for the beach and it’s walkable, lots of good kitchen stuff, very comfortable beds and even provide travel size shampoo and conditioners! The pool is very shaded and pretty buggy. That was a bummer but otherwise it was good. Good temp lots of places to sit/lay.

The house is a Gem, but the pool and beach disappointing.
This house was amazing overall. Absolutely love all the great interior design touches, and even though this historical house is a tad quirky, the layout actually worked very well for us. Being from Wisconsin, we enjoyed showering outside for the Master Bathroom Shower! Our only disappointment was the pool and back yard area. While we understand trying to keep.it "tropical" and lush, there was just too much foliage and overhead trees that blocked any sunshine. We were there in the last week in August, which were upper 80 degree days, but the shaded backyard was just cool and humid. The pool felt like it was in the mid-upper70s, so none of us adults went in. Only the purple lipped kids as we all tried to "lounge" in the shade. The dark, shaded area was also a bug attraction, so we brought down fly swatters to try and enjoy our "pool time". Wish they would keep all the palm trees, but get rid of get rest of the big canopy like trees, so we could have enjoyed the sunshine at the pool Lastly, nothing on the house, but Tybee was a bit of a disappointment. Pretty dingy, and not very family friendly. Overall we loved the house! Maybe we would come back for am adult.only, off season winter trip

Lovely Family Beach Trip
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 enjoyed this big old house. It is quirky - just the way we like it! Very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was wonderful and we cooked often. Beds were comfortable. The kids enjoyed the pool and under house ping pong table. The separate living spaces were ideal to watch TV or read away from others. The front porch was comfortable capturing breezes form two sides. Plenty of showers for our family of 12 folks. The house was very clean. Only negative was that the landscaping was not as tidy and put plant debris into the pool. Jim was very attentive and responded. We loved the sleeping porch and washer/dyer. Easy short walk to all beach spaces - the strand, back river, and Southern tip. Lovely family trip and this house contributed greatly!

Vacation at Southern Tides
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have used Tybee Cottages for about 7 years now and Jim has always been right there to help with anything we’ve needed. This house has a wonderful beachy atmosphere. Nice, clean, and plenty of sleeping spaces. Kids really enjoyed the room with all the bunks. The pool was nice too. The only downfalls were the distance from the beach (about 4blocks) and parking (although we managed). Overall we had a great time. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a nice place near the beach
