A girls trip to remember!

Suzanne’s home was perfect! The location can’t be beat, steps from the beach, restaurants and grocery store. The house is beautifully decorated and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Suzanne was so attentive and made sure our stay was enjoyable. We will for sure book this house again.

Great house and location

We had a family beach weekend. The house met our needs perfectly, and the location was a two-minute walk to the beach. The house was stocked with lots of kitchen stuff, beach towels, and beach chairs. It was a quick walk to the IGA for more ice. The deck was perfect for morning coffee and evening cocktails.

Very relaxing

Mrs. Suzanne goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is everything you could ever imagine! This home is clean and very well taken care of. We came down for my brothers wedding and it was the best experience ever! We were minutes from the store, in walking distance to restaurants and this home came equipped with anything you may have missed on your packing. Very nice and clean home, thank you mrs Suzanne

Unbelievable experience

My family and I had an amazing time in Tybee together and this house was perfect for us. Plenty of space for a large group to spread out, a short walk from the beach, and convenient shops/food nearby. Host was available at all times and was extremely helpful and kind. Can’t wait to visit again!

Cozy Beach Home

What a cozy beach house! Very comfortably furnished with nice linens and sufficient kitchen utensils, plates, etc. We felt like we were staying at someone's home. Our host was a great communicator. Excellent location. Just steps from the beach boardwalk to the ocean and only a block away from the island grocery store. Easy to walk to restaurants, downtown area and main pier. We would stay again.

Great host, great house, great location!

We loved our girls getaway for the 35th anniversary of our becoming friends! The house had a nice amount of space for four friends to spread out for our stay. Comfy spots in the house and on the deck to sit and chat. Easy walk to the beach (we appreciated access to towels & chairs), as well as several restaurants and shops, including the grocery store. Very reasonable drive in to Savannah. Host was great to work with!

Amazing home with everything you could ever need. Just bring your clothes and sunscreen. Very comfortable. Great deck seating. Three houses from the boardwalk to the beach. Easy walk to the downtown. We had a fantastic stay and will definitely stay again.

Family weekend getaway

Property was very nice and spacious and provided enough bedding for our group of 5 adults and 3 children. We were able to cook breakfast in the morning as the grocery store was within walking distance. Took us 1 minute to walk from the house to the pier. Ms. Suzanne was very thorough with her communication before and during our stay. Would definitely stay again.

Awesome!

This house was very well kept and in a prime location! The floorplan was laid out nicely and was easy to accommodate our large party. The neighbors were very friendly and the access to the beach was right out the front door. The owner was very easy to contact and eager to answer any questions and all concerns. I highly recommend this property and hope to visit again.

Great Girls Getaway

We enjoyed this stay very much. So close to the beach only a few steps from beach access. Watching the sun come up from the front porch was beautiful. Rooms were used efficiently for maximum capacity. It’s hard to please a group of 7 ladies but none of us had complaints! If I had to list something that could be improved upon I would say that the carpet in the bedrooms was not ideal. A few things are dated but we enjoyed the nostalgic feel and atmosphere. It’s a cozy little beach house that met all our needs. The host was thorough and had great communication. Thank you Ms Suzanne! We will be back!

Relaxing home

Suzanne is super sweet and a wonderful host! Communication was easy. Home was clean and the beds comfortable. It had everything we needed, except, oddly enough, a toaster. It didn’t really bother us though, because it gave us a great excuse to ditch the pop tarts and eat out for breakfasts, which was a nice change…and the beach was right there just a boardwalk away. I will definitely come back!

Great Get-Away

This property is accurately named! It truly was a retreat for my husband and I. We enjoyed the beautiful sunroom every day and had everything we could need. Suzanne was a wonderful hostess being sure to communicate with us well before our arrival and even after we arrived. We didn't need anything, but if we had, she would have gotten it for us! Looking forward to next year!
