Ebbtide is a unique 7 bedroom, 5 bathrooms historic raised beach cottage circa 1932. From the design to all the details and cottage style touches throughout, guests will feel right at home during their vacation. Ebbtide was lovingly preserved and restored by its owners and offers many original features such as the board and batten wood paneling and wood ceilings to the beautiful hardwood floors. Located just the second house back from the beach on Tybee’s mid-island, you can easily enjoy time at the beach with your family just steps from your front door.

The main living areas of the home, along with five bedrooms and three bathrooms, are located on the top floor. The kitchen was beautifully renovated with stainless appliances and granite counters but still offers plenty of character. Located off the kitchen are the large open floor plan living and dining area with seating for 8. The living area has ample comfortable seating, which makes for a great space for spending time with the family, along with a beautiful brick decorative fireplace with an electric firebox and a flat-screen TV. There is also an enormous enclosed and glassed-in sun porch located on the main living level, which offers additional space with a Sleeper Sofa. The porch offers two additional sitting areas, a dining table for 6, and another TV.

No real problems with the unit. When we needed help with something, maintenance dealt with the issue very quickly.

It is a lot than 75 feet to the beach the boardwalk is near the house but it is probably 200 ft long or more to get to the beach. There is really no place to walk the dogs and let them out. The house was a good fit for our family as far as bedrooms. A lot of maintenance needs to be done to the house. Loved the vintage decorations

My extended family and I had a great time on this trip. The place was just as pictured, easy to find, had amazing beach access (walk to the beach) and Tybee Vacation Rentals was very communicative (maybe overly so? I got a text almost every day, but i never needed anything). There were a couple things that would make me think twice before staying at this property/Tybee again. (But mainly based on personal preference.) 1)Parking - the onsite parking was tight, like you could pull into the garage but barely open your doors. Also, the island had very limited and paid parking if you wanted to go anywhere. I spent way too much of my vacation looking for a place to park. 2) No beach view - I knew this house was a second row house but i was expecting at least a peek at the beach. These beach houses were packed in tight and the homes were so far off the beach I couldn’t hear the waves from the house.

Perfect family vacation home. Fits everyone comfortably. Plenty of socializing areas so it didn’t feel crowded at all with 11 of us. Very easy beach access.
