Last trip of the summer
The house was great. All the bedrooms were large and spacious. The living room, dining room and kitchen were great as well. The family had plenty of room to spread out and play a few of the board games that were available. The 9yr old enjoyed playing the Nintendo Wii! We would definitely come back to this house.

The house was excellent place to stay! Very well stocked and clean. The beds were super comfortable. The elevator is certainly a nice touch since it’s a three story. Would definitely recommend.

Great location and attention to detail
Only 1/2 block from the public walk way to the beach. And short walk to pier, restaurants and shops.
Very nicely decorated and comfortable home.
The bunk bed room and one other bedroom are away from the main living area.
Overall a very nice stay

Tybee Beach Vacation Rental was very accommodating and friendly during our stay. They were welcoming and helped us with logistics such as parking, golf carts and information on the neighborhood. Our house was well appointed as described and served as a great staycation for our family and friends.

Lovely Place!
The home was clean and spacious. I loved that each room had their own bathroom so that when the 10 of us girls needed to get ready, we all could!
Kitchen was well stocked with the utensils needed, but no extras like spices or oil.

Turtle Ranch 16A - 12th Place
This was an amazing house that accommodated our family with everyone having bathrooms, great layout for the younger adults that could separate from the older adults. Great check in. Easy access to the beach with a short walk. Only problem was the elevator was out which we really needed but with COVID it was hard to get someone in to look at it and fix it but we were reimbursed some for it being out. Will definitely reserve this place again. Wonderful stay and we loved it. Thank you so much.

Not completely happy
The condo was very well furnished but the kitchen really needs paring knives. The elevator stopped working halfway through our weeklong stay and they were never able to get it fixed. It was one of the reasons we chose the condo. It was supposed to have a gas grill but only had a charcoal grill. It was a very nice condo so if these issues had been fixed we would have given a better rating.

Nice property, but a few things to note. The elevator never worked properly and ended up completely becoming unusable on day 3 of 7. One of my party even became trapped in it. The downstairs rooms are not accessible from the man part of the house, you have to either use the elevator or enter through the garage. The garage entry door to the main dwelling has an electronic deadbolt that would randomly lock and the keypad didn’t work to unlock it. This traps whoever stays in the downstairs addition from the main house until someone unlocks the door. With the elevator out, this was a major concern, especially since this is where our kids were supposed to stay. Property management company didn’t seem too concerned about it…..Other than that, the house was large and nicely decorated. Pet friendly was a definite plus. Be sure to bring your own body wash and shampoo as none of that is provided.
