Quaint Cottage | Private Pool and Screened-In Porch | Tybee Cottages

Step back in time and embrace the enchanting allure of Bead Cottage, a truly adorable rental cottage originally constructed in 1938, and lovingly preserved by prominent preservationist Jane Coslick in 2004. This private, magical retreat awaits you, just a short stroll away from the sun-kissed beach. Nestled in the heart of Tybee Island, the cottage sits conveniently on the island's designated bike path, inviting you to embark on delightful two-wheeled adventures.

Stepping inside, you'll find a charmingly appointed interior, where comfort and coziness blend seamlessly. The bedroom offers a restful queen-size bed, while the second bedroom boasts two twin beds, perfect for a peaceful night's sleep. The front room offers an additional twin bed, ensuring ample sleeping arrangements for all.

The bathroom features a standard tub with a shower, providing convenience for your daily routines. For your entertainment needs, the property offers high-speed Wi-Fi, a Smart TV, and cable access to enjoy your favorite shows and movies.

Here, a charming dining area invites you to savor meals al fresco, while ample space allows for relaxed cocktail hours, blissful naps, or indulging in a good book inspired by the nearby beach.

As a refreshing oasis, the private 12' by 32' swimming pool beckons for rejuvenation and relaxation, offering a delightful alternative to the beach. It's a perfect fit for young children to frolic and play, and if you desire a warm swim, the pool can be heated upon request for an additional charge.

Bead Cottage

We had the greatest time at the Bead Cottage! The check in and out process was extremely easy, the neighborhood and proximity to the beach was great (we used the 9th street beach access boardwalk), and you can’t beat the private pool and screen porch! The neighborhood is so quiet and calm and it was the perfect spot to relax. The cottage is so centrally located that it was so easy to pop over to Savannah and drive over to North or South beach. We had the best stay and we hope to return soon!

3rd Year at Bead - Feels like coming home

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: This was our 3rd year at Bead Cottage, and I can't brag about the management company enough! Everyone from the reservationist to the manager was Outstanding and worked quickly with me on short notice to allow me to rent this home again. Cottage was very clean, as always, with some great upgrades - outdoor shower redone. We live in our swimsuits the entire time, either in the pool or on the porch. Even in 90+ degree weather. Will be back!

Great Vacation but Pool a Big Disappointment

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was great for the three of us and the porch was wonderful. However, we rented this house because it had a pool which makes the house command a premium price. However, they said that we could not have the pool heated because the heater was broken. There was cool weather and the pool was freezing! After several calls, the company called a repairman. The pool never heated up adequately until the morning we had to leave. We never got to swim in the pool we paid extra for! My grandson was very disappointed. :(

Bead Cottage — Almost Perfect

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 have stayed at lovely little Bead Cottage several times. The pool, large screened-in porch and Jane Coslick- designed interior rehab makes it a sweet destination for a couple or a smaller family. But just a few small considerations by the owner/manager would go a long way towards ensuring complete guest satisfaction. Given the pool, as well as routine showering, more than the 5 provided towels for four guests would be appreciated (we called for and received extras). With beach proximity, even a couple of in-house beach towels and chairs would be appreciated by guests flying in, who instead have to buy or rent these small extras in addition to air fare, car rental, bike and cottage rental expenses. Finally, more than the minimal number of cups and glasses would be appreciated, particularly larger coffee mugs and taller drinking glasses. All of these minor irritations could be easily and inexpensively remedied, resulting a perfect guest experience! Thank you for accepting this minor constructive criticism within the larger picture of a wonderful experience provided in this lovely cottage!

Cozy and Nice

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great week at Bead! The deck and pool were the highlights. Very well maintained inside as well. Tybee Cottages provided excellent service and even checked on us during the stay. Close beach access as well. Parking is tight if you have a full size truck like I do, but it worked out. We would definitely stay again!

Cozy Spot for Couples

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: This is an incredibly cute cozy cottage, suitable for a couple or a small family. The interior is not spacious, but the large screened in porch is where you’ll spend most of your time. Really nice, large pool. Recommended for a couple or a small family, as the cottage set up — with the porch entry through the primary bedroom — does not allow for much privacy.
