Whelk Come Inn to your south Tybee beach vacation. This vintage-era Tybee cottage welcomes you home with two bedrooms, plus a bonus room for kids, a fenced yard, and a cute outdoor patio with twinkle lights to set the mood for a good time on Tybee. Located just a block and a half from the famous South end main beach and an easy walk to restaurants, shopping, and nightlife, this sweet little home will be a perfect fit for a fun beach getaway with family or friends.

Step up into this cozy cottage that has a front sun-room that is bright and inviting and includes a sleeper sofa and a flat-screen TV. The home has been remodeled, but still features original finishes in the bedrooms, with wood-paneled walls and a charming historic feel. The two bedrooms are each furnished with a Queen Size bed, and both have wall-mounted flat-screen TVs. The bathroom connects the bedrooms with a walk-in shower, each with its access door. There is a bonus room furnished with twin bunk beds, perfect for kids.

To the back of the house are the kitchen and the eating area. The kitchen is fully equipped and includes a large serving/breakfast bar, perfect for entertaining while preparing evening meals. The breakfast bar has seating for 4, and the dining table has room to seat 6 comfortably. The back door from the kitchen leads to a lovely patio with a gas grill and an outdoor dining table for 6. The detached utility room includes a full-size washer and a dryer and an additional bathroom with a walk-in shower - perfect for rinsing off after a long day at the beach.

Bring your bikes or rent some while you are here; it is the best way to see the island! This home is ideally located between 18th Street beach access and back river beach access at Inlet Avenue, which is a perfect place to stroll the shoreline at sunset, searching for the ideal whelk.

Our stay at the Whelkcomeinn through Tybee Vacation Rentals was very good. The communication was excellent and the property was as explained. Access to multiple beaches and Tybee pier were within easy walking distance. The house was quaint, not a ton of updates, but was efficient and as a beach cottage should be. Check in and check out were simple, well communicated, and without issue.

This place has a great location with only about 5 min walk to the beach and other restaurants. AC worked great. A few things that could have been improved were we found small pieces of glass on the patio table and floor that we cleaned. The dryer heating element did not work so we drove home with wet laundry ( hanging outside overnight didn’t get dry enough plus it rained that night). The inside was quaint but odd layout that didn’t allow great privacy if multiple parties joined. Bathroom in the middle with old doors that barely shut on the inside. The outside steps would benefit from a railing especially for older adults. We didn’t receive a check in message until 2:57 am when we were told by multiple forms of communication that we would know by 4:00 pm. The outside lock was a bit confusing if you didn’t have the communication to press # first not last. Outdoor laundry and bathroom was a little musty and tight. Parking was a little tight.

Nice proximity to the beach. Steep steps on front with no handrail. Odd home layout.
