New Property! Welcome to your classic seaside retreat at Caretta Beach Cottage. Constructed in the 1930s, this vacation home is one of the original Tybee Island raised cottages that maintains its historic, coastal charm but with the added perks of updated, modern amenities. Only the 4th home from the quiet mid beach, guests will love being only steps from easy beach access and the ocean. With 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, it’s the perfect place to relax and unwind with friends or family on your next dream getaway!

The main living area is on the second level, where you’ll be greeted by a grand, screened-in porch with ample lounge seating. It’s the ideal spot to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or share a meal at the outdoor dining table with seating for 6. The queen-sized swing bed is a fantastic feature of the porch, allowing guests to slip into vacation mode on Tybee Time easily. Through the front door, the classic feel of the original wood paneling extends across the living area, dining area, and kitchen walls and ceiling. The living room features a couch, extra seating, a wall-mounted smart TV, and a beautiful decorative fireplace. The dining area has seating for 6. The fully equipped kitchen makes preparing vacation meals a breeze with an oven, stovetop, dishwasher, refrigerator, and microwave.

All of the bedrooms are located on the second floor as well. Bedroom 1, just off the main living area, features a king-sized bed, a flat-screen TV, and direct access to the outdoor deck through sliding glass doors. There is an adjoining bathroom with a shower and tub combination. Down the hallway are Bedroom 2 and Bedroom 3. Bedroom 2 has a king-sized bed, a wall-mounted flat-screen TV, and access to the hall bathroom. The hall bathroom features a shower and tub combination. Bedroom 3 has two queen-sized beds, a door directly to the screened-in porch, and enjoys an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Head downstairs to the garage, where there is a ping pong table for hours of fun. There is a full-size washer and dryer, and an additional bathroom with a changing room and shower just off the garage, perfect for a quick change before a day at the beach. Wash off the sand after a day at the beach with an outdoor enclosed shower. Take the fun outdoors for a backyard barbeque, with a relaxing picnic area with a picnic table, lounge chairs, and even an outdoor hammock.

Caretta Beach Cottage has parking for up to 3 vehicles. (Two cars in the driveway, and one in the garage.) The driveway is small, and large trucks or oversized vehicles may not fit. Pay-to-park spaces are available on the street for additional parking.

Great property. Good location to shopping, not far from the pier and just a short walk to the beach.

Loved staying at Carter’s Cottage - fun summer trip with family and grandkids - the place was big enough to spread out and not feel on top of each other. Loved being walking distance to the beach and having a huge basement for kids to play in! Will def be coming back!
