We always stay here when we travel to Tybee. We have tried the other hotel behind Tybee (Hotel Tybee) and we prefer Sandcastle Inn much more. It’s an older hotel as they all are there but it is clean and the staff is top notch. They don’t have an elevator so if you require one definitely ask for handicap accessible room. It’s about a 3 min walk to the beach and it’s very conveniently located walking distance to Tybrisa street. They have an outdoor pool that is well kept as well.

Pro's: okay price compaired to nearby competitors, location was nice and close to the beach without needing to cross a mainroad, staff were friendly and parking lot felt safe, had a microwave and fridge, room smelled okay, was across the street from a cute dog friendly restaurant <3 Potential areas of improvement: AC unit kept shutting off and the room got hot overnight, bathrooms are incredibly small- may want to be cautious if traveling with burly gentlemen

There is only 1 car per room allowed and the girl at the front desk had no idea where we could park our 2nd vehicle. I feel like she should have been able to direct us to other parking. The hotel is a little aged but the location is great. A 2 minute walk to the beach and restaurants. Air conditioning was a little loud. Bed was comfortable. I would stay here again

Clean beautiful room big bed fluffy bedding. Quite nice indeed. Friendly staff who treated us so kindly and accommodated our need for a late check in. We were able to have ease of access to all the things near by. Park you car for the weekend in the hotels lot and walk it's no more three blocks either direction to find things to do and food to eat. The local famous breakfast club is right beside this hotel. It's amazing. We loved everything about our stay and will be back soon.
