One-of-a-Kind Trolley Home, Oceanfront w/ Dune View by Tybee Cottages

Step into the most unique beach house on Tybee Island, voted for its clever and imaginative design. This extraordinary cottage is ingeniously built around an old-fashioned Trolley, lovingly restored and polished to its former glory. The Trolley's long and lean frame now serves as the captivating centerpiece for the living and dining area, providing an unforgettable ambiance. From the cozy sofas to the quaint dining nook, every spot offers breathtaking views of the swaying dunes of Tybee.

Immerse yourself in the general Retro and vintage theme that pervades the cottage, creating a charming and nostalgic atmosphere. The fully stocked kitchen is ready for your culinary adventures. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, there's ample space to accommodate guests comfortably.

The first bedroom boasts a king-size bed and a full bath, which leads to the second bedroom featuring two twin beds. On the opposite end of the cottage, you'll find the third bedroom with a queen-size bed and a large alcove that provides additional space for relaxation.

Step out onto the back porch, thoughtfully arranged with a cozy setup, a small dining table for four, and a large umbrella. Here, you can enjoy mesmerizing views of the dunes and the soothing sound of the ocean – the perfect setting for coffee time and cocktail hour.

As a guest in this one-of-a-kind Trolley cottage, you're invited to share in the joy of this exceptional retreat. Experience the allure of this cleverly designed beach house, where nostalgia meets modern comfort, and every moment becomes a treasured memory.

The bad experience
This property is very cute and snug! The cleanliness of this property was terrible. The first night we had to have them come out and clean the bathroom as it has not been clean. No pillow cases on the pillows. Most of the doors on the property interior you could barely get open(it took an act of congress to do so) *EXTREME FIRE HAZARD* and the sun room floor fell in while we stayed there. Oh and there was broken windows being held together by tape. During the stay the company was very responsive with our concerns and was prompt to fix what they could but after you check out they did not want to help you resolve any issues/compensate for your troubles. Very disappointed with the stay especially for the price paid. They wouldn’t even compensate the cleaning cost of the property very disappointed! Will never stay with Tybee Cottages/ Lucky Savannah again!

The cottage is unique with the 'street car' being a wonderful element. The beds were very nice, everything was clean and in order. There is a roach problem but can tell its being worked. The kitchen is well stocked.

Great stay with lots of charm
Though it's small, with few frills, the beds were comfortable, the neighborhood was quiet, and it had everything we needed. And it was cool to walk around inside the old trolley. Being right on the beach was so convenient. The beach wasn't over crowded at all and everybody is so friendly. I would stay here again!

What a wonderful trolley beach house- we had a great, peaceful beach weekend and will definitely stay here again. It’s vintage, different and comfortable- on a private part of the beach & we all really enjoyed! For a mom & her two grown daughters it was perfect.

Beach trip
We had a wonderful time at the cottage! The property was just like the pictures, check in was easy, there are restaurants and shops within walking distance, and the location right on the beach was super convenient. We are a family of 5 and the space was just perfect. We would definitely stay here again, thanks so much!

Super cute vacation rental
This was perfect for us. Two adults and two kids. The ambiance of this little house was wonderful. Loved all the little details of the trolley in the house. Access to the beach was easy and close. A little hard to find the house when we first arrived but didn’t mind it being hidden during our stay. I would definitely recommend to family and friends!!!

Quaint and charming
This is not a new, sterile property. But rather a quaint house built around an old trolley car. We loved it because we like to stay places that have "heart". Even my gr. grand 12 year old loved the place. We had everything we needed space wise and beach wise. Had a table outside get blown over and broken, but the management people were very responsive in getting all the glass cleaned up. Would definitely stay here again.

Soothing
This property was great. I wouldn't do a big group here but a small family of four or five, mother daughter/s would be perfect. I went with my mom and my sister and had a fantastic time. Loved that it was right off the beach and pretty quiet when I went. The only thing I would have to say I didn't like was the showers, not to much room to move, mostly turn around in. Overall, for my trip it was pretty perfect and very soothing.

We had a great stay at this quirky cottage. Having a few restaurants and a park within walking distance was great. The living spaces were pretty compact, but met the needs of our family of 4 perfectly to enjoy everything Tybee has to offer.

Full of Charm and Character
Tybee Trolley is a perfect fit for Tybee Island. The trolley, built inside the home, adds a whimsical feeling to an already charming and character filled house. You definitely feel like you are at the beach. The location is great both with respect to the beach and local amenities. Would definitely recommend.

The cottage is quaint and unique. The proximity to the beach is outstanding. I loved sitting out on the deck at night listening to the waves and star gazing. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen is small but sufficient. Had everything we needed.

Tybee Trolley has all the Charm
We are repeat visitors to this property. First, for the positives: the history makes it different. It's decorated beautifully with great linens and a wonderful bed. I want to bring the couches home with me! The kitchen is okay to fix a snack, but tiny and a bit old-fashioned. No dish washer. We like to eat out anyway, and it works for snacks. Not a lot of extras as far as amenities: There was one roll of toilet paper roll per bathroom - we had to go to the store. No shampoo or body wash, etc. There were a few coffee filters. One trash can liner with no extras - and we were staying 4 nights. We were prepared, but I've stayed in places that have wonderful amenities, and that is a nice "welcome." You won't find that here. Not as clean this time - there were multiple places with layers of dust, the bottoms of the toilets hadn't been cleaned, dirty fingerprints in the bathroom, and even bugs. I killed a few and there were some in the kitchen cabinets. And it's a little pricey for the size. Like I said, we are repeat visitors and would probably go again because we love the place. We have an emotional attachment, I suppose. I'm thinking this last time was a fluke and it will be better when - if - we go back.
