Splash into Coquina Cottage! Originally built in 1935, Coquina Cottage is a Tybee beach cottage that has been lovingly restored and decorated throughout with an eclectic mix of fun, new furnishings, and revitalized vintage finds. The adorable house pays homage to the past while providing a distinct, charming beach vibe throughout. It's truly a Tybee cottage enthusiast's dream come true. Guests will have a splashing good time in the brand new in-ground pool and patio with an attached jetted spa, ready to refresh and delight guests all year long.

The house is owned by New York Times bestselling author Mary Kay Andrews, who provides each guest with an autographed novel! Mary Kay Andrews collects thrift store finds and estate sale antiques that she lovingly restores to add to her homes' eclectic beachy feel.

The two-story cottage has five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and sleeping space for up to 12 people. The living room is on the first floor, and it has large windows that let in plenty of natural light. The living room has a sleeper sofa as well as a large flat-screen TV. The adjoining dining room seats up to ten people and connects to the stunning all-new kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped, with stainless steel appliances, a farm sink, and a vintage-style dining booth where you can enjoy a quick meal. There is also a gas grill in the backyard, which is ideal for cookouts! The two downstairs bedrooms have a king-size bed and two twin beds, and they share a bathroom with a walk-in shower.

The second floor is home to the remaining three bedrooms and a comfortable sitting area with a large flat-screen TV and a delightful screened porch for sipping iced tea on a warm summer's night. Bedroom 3 has a Queen size bed, Bedroom 4 has a King size bed with a TV, and Bedroom 5 has 2 Twin beds. There are two full bathrooms on the second, the first with an all-new walk-in shower; the second has a vintage clawfoot tub with a shower.

The cottage is in a beautiful mid-island location. Enjoy the 8'6" X 17' in-ground heated pool and patio with an 8'2" X 8'7" spill-over spa (spa only, no jets). Guests can choose to add optional pool/spa heat for an additional cost of $25 per day (not available in January or February).

Perfect for a more residential feel while still offering easy access to the beach, which is just a short stroll away. Bring your bikes, or rent them while you are here. The home is located on Second Avenue, which is considered part of Tybee's bike trail. This property has parking is available for up to 5 cars.

Fans of Mary Kay Andrews will love the vintage furnishings and antique touches that are a favorite part of the MKA Collection of renovated Tybee Island beach cottages, including Ebbtide, a seven-bedroom home that sleeps up to 16, and Breeze Inn, a 4 Bedroom that sleeps up to 10. When combined with Coquina Cottage, there is a total of 16 bedrooms and enough space for up to 38 guests.

Holds a lot of people. There are 2 rooms with 2 single beds each. The other 3 rooms have Queen or king beds. Pool heater didn’t work but said they would refund money. A second sitting area is upstairs so it’s nice for 2 families or a family with teenagers. They get their own space. The porch is screened in and upstairs. Nice area to relax in.
