The Idler | Pet Friendly, Fire Pit, Family Retreat

The Idler offers guests an excellent retreat for a family beach vacation or weekend get-a-way on Tybee Island. Located on a large corner lot only two blocks to the nearest beach access, this home is an excellent option for families or couples who desire to take a break and stay idle and relax on Tybee time.

From the entryway on the ground level, a wide staircase greets you and takes you to the main level just up the stairs. This home's open floor plan living area is bright and inviting with lots of windows, comfortable furnishings including a sleeper sofa and a large Smart TV. There is a dining area with a table that seats 4. Just off the living area is a large screened-in porch that is an extension of the living space, complete with a dining table for six and conversational seating. The fully equipped kitchen is open to the dining area with a center island ready to take on your favorite vacation meals.

Both bedrooms have a Queen size bed. There is a large flat-screen TV in one of the bedrooms. The two guest bedrooms share a full bathroom on this level. Downstairs is a full-size washer and dryer, and a second full bathroom with a walk-in shower. Outdoors there is a gas grill, basketball goal, and a fire pit to enjoy.

This cozy Tybee mid-island home is just a short two-block walk to the beach and a short stroll to Tybee's Memorial Park, which offers tennis, basketball, sand volleyball courts, and an island-themed playground. The Idler is on Second Avenue, Tybee Island's dedicated bike path, so be sure to bring your bicycles or plan on renting them while visiting. Touring on two wheels is the best way to see all of Tybee!

Includes complimentary WIFI for guest use. Parking for up to 4 vehicles.
