Luxury Oceanfront Cottage on Tybee Island – Spacious, Stylish, and Steps from the Beach

Welcome to your luxurious oceanfront cottage on Tybee Island, an inviting retreat just steps from the soft, sandy beach. Designed for comfort and connection, this Tybee vacation rental seamlessly blends coastal charm with modern amenities — perfect for families and friends seeking a touch of luxury amidst the salt air.

Inside, the open living space features hardwood floors, soothing coastal décor, and sunlight streaming through expansive windows. A fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals and snacks, while the beach cart and chairs help you settle into seaside days with ease. After a day in the sun, gather for grilled dinners on the gas BBQ or unwind with sunset cocktails on the spacious oceanfront porch — the heart of this beach house.

Upstairs, the primary suite offers a king-size bed and private en suite bathroom, while the second bedroom includes two queen beds — ideal for kids, couples, or close friends. A cozy den with a twin daybed provides extra sleeping space or a quiet nook for reading with an ocean breeze.

Downstairs, the lower level becomes a fun hideaway for guests of all ages, featuring a TV lounge, a kitchenette with a full refrigerator, and three additional bedrooms (each with twin beds). Two bathrooms, including an en suite, offer comfort and privacy for everyone.

Throughout the home, enjoy modern conveniences like Wi-Fi, a washer and dryer, and smart TVs — making your stay as effortless as it is enjoyable.

The highlight of this cottage is its wraparound beachfront porch, where you can watch the sun rise, dolphins play, and the sky fade into Tybee’s signature sunset hues. The furnished deck is perfect for outdoor dining, yoga at sunrise, or simply soaking up the peace that makes Tybee Island so special.

While this home is not accessible by golf cart due to being landlocked, its exceptional location and thoughtful design more than make up for it. Here, you’ll find the best of Tybee Island living — the sound of the surf, the warmth of coastal light, and a place where every moment feels like vacation.

The highlight of the cottage is its spacious porch, spanning the entire beachfront side, where you can gather with loved ones to admire breathtaking sunsets and savor delightful cocktails.

Wonderful Home

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful Tybee home during spring break! The house was spacious and comfortably fit our family of eight. We especially loved the large, open back porch—it was the perfect spot for relaxing and spending time together. Each room was roomy and well-appointed, giving everyone space to unwind. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook meals throughout the week, and the overall layout made it easy to lounge and enjoy our time. We’d definitely stay here again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful view, first house from beach access. Spacious screen porch and a deck overlooking the dunes and ocean.

Would stay here again. Be sure to bring beach towels.

Hopes fulfilled!

It was wonderful. A perfect place for our family vacation. On the beach front, and a one block walk to the only grocery store on the island. A few blocks walk to everything else. Great set up with all the space for sure! Beach stuff was really appreciated too. THANK YOU!

Ladies Weekend Retreat

Loved! Loved! Loved! Our stay could not have been better! Our group enjoyed the large dining table comfortable for 10 of us to eat and play games. The indoor porch had ample seating for all and we took advantage of the deck with beautiful ocean views all weekend! There were plenty of beds and bathrooms too! A great find and plan to return here on our next trip to Tybee! Thanks for hosting us!

Beach Front Cousins’ Week

Wonderful location for 9 girl cousins to spend a week. So convenient to walk to the beach. We shared beautiful photos of sunrises and sunsets. 4 bathrooms were great for 9 women. We loved being out on the deck and there was plenty of room inside the upstairs living room to eat, play games, make tee shirt designs, and talk. The kitchen was a little tight when more than 2 were there but we cooked breakfasts, lunches and dinners together. The twin beds downstairs were comfortable. The king size bed could use a new mattress. The decor was lovely and we took pictures of some cute ideas for decorating. Overall, everyone had a fantastic week together in this house.

Beautiful Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Our stay at Twelfth and Ocean was peaceful and relaxing. Morning walks on the beach followed by reading on the screened in porch were the highlight of our days. Easy parking at the house and a short walking distance to the market and a nearby coffee shop were also very nice as you have to pay to park on the street in Tybee. The kitchen was well stocked and plenty of clean, fluffy bath towels for all of us.We had some minor issues upon getting to the house as we had been provided the incorrect code to get into the house and the information book had the wrong wifi password. We were able to clear these things up fairly quickly.

Quiet Weekend

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: Since our original plans to NC mountains had to be cancelled due to hurricane destruction, we chose Tybee on a whim. What a quiet relaxing weekend in a quaint cottage perfectly placed by the ocean. We certainly enjoyed the cottage, the location, the tranquility of the island, the southern hospitality, and the delicious restaurants in close proximity. Would highly recommend this cottage/company to anyone interested in an enjoyable getaway.

Wonderful common areas to master and relax: nice living room, large dining room table, large kitchen, fabulous screened/enclosed porch, and lovely deck. More downstairs too. The location was perfect - right on the beach, especially good for small children, and just a few steps from the IGA. We had 4 couples, so the 4 full baths were fantastic.
