The Idler offers guests an excellent retreat for a family beach vacation or weekend getaway on Tybee Island. Located on a large corner lot only two blocks to the nearest beach access, this home is an excellent option for families or couples who desire to take a break and stay idle and relax during your Tybee time.

From the entryway on the ground level, a wide staircase greets you and takes you to the main level just up the stairs. This home's open floor plan living area is bright and inviting with lots of windows, and comfortable furnishings, including a sleeper sofa and a 50" Smart TV. There is a dining area with a table that seats up to 6. Just off the living area is a large screened-in porch that extends the living space, complete with a dining table for six and conversational seating. The fully equipped kitchen is open to the dining area with a center island ready to take on your favorite vacation meals.

The three bedrooms are on the second floor. Bedroom 1 is furnished with a Queen bed and has a Smart TV; bedroom two is furnished with a King bed and a Smart TV. The third bedroom is furnished with a Queen-size bed. The bedrooms share a full bathroom on this level. Downstairs is a full-size washer, dryer, and a second full bathroom with a walk-in shower. Outdoors there is a gas grill, basketball goal, cornhole boards, pickleball, and a fire pit to enjoy.

This cozy Tybee mid-island home is just a short two-block walk to the beach and a short stroll to Tybee's Memorial Park, which offers tennis, basketball, sand volleyball courts, and an island-themed playground. The Idler is on Second Avenue, Tybee Island's dedicated bike path, so be sure to bring your bicycles or plan on renting them while visiting. Touring on two wheels is the best way to see all of Tybee!

Excellent location- walkable to beach, restaurants, shops. A little worn in, but very clean and well equipped.

Location is good and we liked the screened in porch. There were way too many bugs for us to stay there again and not having overhead lighting in most rooms was frustrating.

We're glad you enjoyed the location and screened porch, Katherine. And we're sorry about your experience with bugs. All of our properties are sprayed regularly, and on the rare occasion of inside bugs, they've come in via previous guests. This property has been thoroughly treated and has no bugs, and we hope to host you again at a later date.

Walkable to restaurants and the beach. The beds were comfortable. There are 2 bathrooms, one is more private downstairs and the bathroom on the main level has a barn door so there’s not as much privacy. The patio was nice to relax on. The location was probably the best thing about the unit as it has easy access to the beach with a crosswalk. Plenty of parking as well.

We're always looking for new ways to improve the guest experience, Michele, and we appreciate you taking the time to give us your thoughts.
