Tybee Vacation Rentals Commitment
On May 1, 2020, Tybee Beaches and vacation rentals were opened without restrictions. Businesses and restaurants are open to varying degrees, and more continue to open weekly. Because restaurants are adapting to new policies and restrictions, the wait time can be quite long for both dine-in and carry out service. Guests should plan accordingly for wait times or plan ahead to prepare meals in the comfort of your vacation home.
Our local Guest Services Agents are here to help you answer any questions you may have 7 days a week. Please call at 866.935.4021, chat, or email us at info@tybeevacationrentals.com for assistance. We continue to make updates to our website to address our guest's most frequently asked questions.
House Cleaning And Linen Standards
Cleanliness has always been a top priority. The TVR housekeeping staff is trained to use the best hygiene practices focusing on sanitization and disinfection. We clean “high touch” items, hard surfaces, floors, countertops, railings, sink faucets, appliances, doorknobs, light switches, and other surfaces.
Our housekeeping team and linen facility utilize high-quality products, including chemicals and disinfectants that are effective against bacteria and viruses per EPA guidelines. Linens and towels are laundered offsite at our professional laundry which utilizes advanced Ozone Laundry Disinfection Systems. Our team is committed to following the best practices and proven cleaning protocols at all times for the safety of our guests and our employees.
