A private gate ensures peace and privacy, while the spacious garage provides storage for kayaks, paddleboards, and fishing gear, plus outlets for charging golf carts or electric cars. After a day on the water, rinse off in the refreshing outdoor shower or follow the pathway leading directly to the sand.

Inside, the cottage exudes warmth and style, featuring a king-size bed, Smart TV, and cozy bar-style dining. The well-equipped kitchenette makes it easy to prepare light meals, while the screened balcony and under-house porch swing invite you to unwind in the salty breeze. Added comforts include Wi-Fi, a washer and dryer, and thoughtful design details throughout.

With its unbeatable location, romantic ambiance, and modern amenities, Zabana Cottage offers an escape you’ll never forget. Book your stay and experience Tybee Island at its most charming."

Excellent property!

This rental had everything you could want! The location is very close to the beach as well as within walking distance to shops and restaurants. The unit is small, but perfect for 2 people, and kitchen was well equipped, bed very comfortable and quite convenient to have a washer/dryer in the kitchen. A nice feature was the carport with security gate. We couldn't have asked for anything more and recommend highly!

Beach adjacent for 2

The rental is a perfect retreat for a couple. It is updated , clean, and there was nothing we were missing. The screened in porch is a nice feature so you can enjoy the evenings without the bugs running you inside. It’s located almost directly on the backwater beach which is quite peaceful. We would like to stay here again.

Nice experience. Excellent owners.

Cozy studio met our needs on recent December trip. Plenty of heat through the mini-split, warm blankets and comfortable bed. We would not hesitate to stay again in December. The unit would benefit from two comfortable chairs, a few small end tables, and a floor lamp for reading. Lose the existing loveseat. Owners next door were VERY helpful with TV, internet, and other requests. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.

FABULOUS!!

The entire property was super fantastic. Superbly cleaned, neatly decorated, updated, modern, not over the top, but not lacking either. It will always hold a special spot for us because we got engaged while here, on the beach at sunset. Everything was perfect. Location was great, Tybee was easy to maneuver. The cottage was cozy and homey; we loved everything. We even had one small snaffu, the lock on the door broke when we put the key in (no one's fault). I called the property management company and they came immediately to take care of it.

Very clean and well furnished for the size, had everything we needed. Not a huge place but if you’re not spending your whole trip in the house it’s perfect. The walking path to the beach wasn’t ideal but we walked to the main beach instead of the south beach most days anyway so it wasn’t a big deal. Really liked the security of having a fenced in yard with our own gate.
