Romantic Beach Hideway * Private Indoor Hot Tub * Steps to Back River Beaches
Designed for two, the Herons' Nest condo is a private and unique hideaway. Nestled in Tybee's historical Venetian Terrace District and sandwiched between the Atlantic Ocean and the Back River Inlet. The Herons' Nest offers a quiet retreat for honeymoons, anniversaries and rest and relaxation for hardworking couples. Lovingly designed by Tybee artists, Fred and Malinda Urvant, the condo reflects their eclectic Art-Deco style of design. Original paintings by the late Soho artist Larry Urvant and photographs by Fred Urvant adorn the walls. Restored Art-Deco furnishings and white tile floors complete the condo's cozy design.
Play on Tybee's scenic Back River Beaches and return to your own private tropical garden to rest and relax. Enjoy a cool drink on your spacious screened porch or soak in the warm waters of your own private 4-person Jacuzzi. Rejuvenate in a soft-water shower and wrap yourself in fluffy towels of Egyptian cotton and sleep on European style linens. Luxury at the beach is only a moment away during your stay at the Herons' Nest.
We invite you to experience the true flavor of Tybee. Beautiful beaches, scenic landscapes, historic sites, excellent cuisine and a laid-back 1950's culture. Since the early 1900's Tybee has been called a utopia and we could not agree more. Please join us at the Herons' Nest where pleasant memories begin.

Nice cozy guest cottage
Nice cottage for 2. We enjoyed our stay very much. Host was very nice and allowed an early check in, which was very helpful. Cottage just as described. Just a 2 night getaway before family descended for Christmas. Would suggest upgrading the bed linens, thin and wouldn’t stay on the bed. And although there was a nice selection of movies, the DVD player didn’t work and requests for help went unanswered.

August Week On Tybee
The space was lovely. We had 4 stars for the following reason. Hosts were staying upstairs and we thought we would have the whole place private. I accidentally walked into the private quarters upon arrival and was greeted by a cat.
We weren't informed of check in process until asked - ended up being easy - everything unlocked and open, but would have liked to know ahead of time.
Location was wonderful and all accommodations needed were provided.

Amazing and romantic
It was private we were not forced to meet with the owner but that the same time we knew that if we needed something we could have contacted them. It was beautiful.

The place is secluded and great walking distance from the heart of Tybee Island! We enjoyed the hot tub and cozy cottage with screened in porch. Highly recommended for couples looking to get away together

Cozy
We had a fun time at Tybee. Fred was there to greet us and orient us on the jacuzzi use when we first arrived plus kindly helped us when we needed a bit of first aid. The location is nice! It’s a short walk to the beach, eateries and souvenir shops but is in a quiet section of the neighborhood.
Be aware that you’ll need mosquito repellent and that the tv is is not Roku or “smart”. There’s a DVD player and some DVDs. The love seat is a little tight if you’re used to sprawling out to relax but was comfortable otherwise.
We had a great visit overall and enjoyed the apartment and seaside decor.

This place was exactly as advertised. It was too hot for us to sit outside but in the fall and spring it would be great to sit outdoors.
