🌊 Drift Inn – Coastal Cottage Steps from the Beach
Escape to Tybee Island at Drift Inn, a bright 4-bedroom, 2-bath coastal cottage just steps from the shoreline on peaceful Chatham Avenue.
Designed for groups of up to 9 guests, Drift Inn offers the combination that makes a beach getaway easy: a single-level layout, private fenced backyard, outdoor shower, fire pit, BBQ grill, fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, and parking for up to 3 vehicles.
Our local guest support team is available throughout your stay to assist with anything you need — from check-in questions to local recommendations.
We respect your privacy, but we’re always just a message away and happy to help make your stay seamless and memorable.
Drift Inn is tucked away on the peaceful south end of Tybee Island in the desirable Back River area—giving you a quieter coastal setting while still keeping you close to South Beach, restaurants, shops, and island attractions.
One of the best parts of this location is having Tybee’s Back River just steps away. Known for its calmer waters, beautiful marsh views, kayaking, fishing, dolphin sightings, and spectacular sunsets, Back River offers a completely different experience from the busier Atlantic beachfront.
Take an evening stroll toward the water to catch the sunset, spend the day exploring by kayak or paddleboard, or head over to South Beach when you’re ready for the classic Tybee experience. The South Beach area is home to the Tybee Pier & Pavilion along with a lively collection of restaurants, bars, beach shops, and access to the Atlantic Ocean.
Tybee is easy to explore by bike or golf cart, so you can spend your vacation discovering local seafood spots, colorful island neighborhoods, beaches, and landmarks at your own pace.
Whether you’re looking for peaceful mornings by the water, afternoons at the beach, or evenings watching the sun set over Back River, Drift Inn puts you in a fantastic location to experience both the relaxed and lively sides of Tybee Island.
