Tybee Trees

Initially constructed in 1928, Tybee Trees is a classic Strand Cottage in the Tybee Island Strand Cottages Historic District, which is recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. This home is an integral part of Tybee Island's coastal resort history. It certainly gives guests the feeling of being transported to a bygone era, when visitors traveled to Tybee by train to enjoy the ocean breezes.

The over 5,000 square foot cottage was renovated mid-century but still exudes a nostalgic feeling that transcends time inside and out. With plenty of room to spread out, this 7 bedroom, 6 and a half bathroom home has many original architectural elements and fixtures that lend to the home's unique charm. The 5000 square foot home at one time was an inn and a venue that held weddings and reunions and hosted grand events in the tree-lined outdoor spaces.

There are three distinct living spaces upstairs and downstairs. Each unique living space is named for the beautiful trees on the expansive property:
