Vacation Rental Description
If you're looking for a charming place for a couples' getaway, you will love this quaint Tybee Cottage. Originally the cottage was built as a garage, it was also thought to have been used as servantâ™s quarters for a neighboring home and was left vacant and neglected for many years, most recently being used as a storage building; it was completely renovated and decorated with the help of local designer Jane Coslick. Featured in the 2003 Tybee tour of homes, this little adorable 1950's "honeymoon" cottage offers eclectic furnishings, antiques, tile floors, and an I-pod docking station, and is so quiet and comfortable you may not want to leave! Located mid-island near the marsh; 3 blocks away from the back river beach where you can watch sunsets, go fishing, or just relax on the beach, only 6 blocks (1/4 mile) to main beach. Nicely furnished screened porch floor is made from salvaged Savannah grey-bricks and topped with tin roof, perfect sitting for afternoon showers. Private parking for 2 cars and room for a small boat, too. For more info on this property go to www.seabiscuitcottage.com.

A Relaxing Time on Tybee. |

We found the cottage to be extremely accommodating. Everything you need and want is there. We spent 4 nights and we wanted to spend more. The island was amazing/food was yum and the people at Tybee Vacation Rentals were VERY helpful.
We were welcomed with a honeymoon gift bag and champagne that brought smiles to our faces after a long day of traveling.
Thank you all so much for a wonderful stay.

We have never stayed in Tybee before, but needed to find a place to stay so we could attend a friend's wedding. We found "Sea Biscuit Cottage" on VRBO and decided to book it. We weren't really sure what to expect, but were thrilled to find the Vacation Rental office clean, easy to get to, organized, and very friendly!
We LOVED our little cottage. It was absolutely perfect for the two of us. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable. The welcome bag that was left for us was such a sweet extra touch! And I couldn't help but notice how truly clean everything was. Not just tidy, but very well kept.
We were close enough to everything and felt very safe in the location. I love how the cottage is tucked back just far enough that you almost miss it if you blink as you're driving by.
Especially, I like that I felt as though I were really being treated to a vacation. I didn't get the impression that I am just another tourist, but another owner (at least in my heart) of that little home. Tybee Vacation Rentals could not have done a more superb job in making our stay more enjoyable. I have absolutely nothing bad to say. :) |

Cozy Getaway |
Reviewed by: cdunn2 from Athens, Georgia

We rented this cozy cottage for a weekend getaway
and used it as a base to see Savannah, bike around
Tybee, etc. It is small, but the decor is cute, the
location is good and it was a perfect size for just
the two of us. We didn't use the outdoor cooking
facilities, but it would be a great place to cook
out (but beware the mosquitoes!).
The staff were very helpful, especially as we
booked this very last-minute, and even being right
in the middle of a movie set (Tybee is the location
of some Miley Cyrus movie, apparently) was actually
kind-of fun.
If you're looking for something expansive or beach-
side, this isn't for you, but if a quiet, cozy
getaway that's still close to amenities is what
you're after, I would recommend this cottage. |

Peace & "Quiet" Among the Cicadas & Mosquitos |
Reviewed by: cleomol from Tukwila, Washington

| One of the best decisions I've made when looking for a place to stay out of the beaten path was going to Tybee Vacation Rentals (TVR). I was treated courteously, given lots of information, and help in finding accommodations that were within our budget. My husband & I had already spent several days in downtown Atlanta in a hotel and just wanted a place to rest & recuperate. Sea Biscuit Cottage was perfect - had all the amenities, located in a quiet neighborhood, was within walking distance of the beach and the shops & restaurants, and had its own unique charm. I had forgotten how loud cicadas can be but we soon got used to them and actually enjoyed their "music." It would have helped us to be reminded of the mosquitos so that we could have come prepared (they seem to be especially attracted to me) but a quick trip to the IGA for repellent helped. Overall, the service from TVR staff was excellent with good follow-up on email reminding us about check-in times & procedures; very friendly and accommodating as well as very clear instructions about what was expected from us. We will definitely contact TVR again when planning another visit. |

| The Seabiscuit was as cute and cozy as could be.There was much attention to detail both in decorating and practicality. I especially loved the screened porch in the mornings and enjoyed watching the birds and squirrel while drinking my coffee. The cottage was comfortable and adorably cute and the location was convenient. Also,the staff at TVR was helpful and courteous. I want to go back soon! |

Great Little Place For TWO! |

| We enjoyed the experience of staying in this Little refinished Garage. In fact so much that we have booked another place just like it on the other end of the island. We have been vacationing to Tybee for over 7 years. This by far was our Favorite stay! We were close enough to the Beach to pack a cooler and the wagon provided and walk. Plus the grocery store was also within an easy walking distance. I have to admit I will probably miss the location and convinience this year. I don't know if any trip could have been so laid back and relaxing!! |

the cottage was cute as all get out the island was great very nice people all over that said the down side
The cottage was dank and musty ansd when you ran the dehumidifier it dumped heat into the room instead of being vented outside and the ac unit was older and pretty noisy when it ran those were the only complaints tho. Inside and out the cottage was cute and well set up the screened porch was very nice. |

| We're glad you enjoyed your stay at the Sea Biscuit. The cottage is an older one set back on the property under trees. It can feel a bit musty at check in. We have forwarded your response to the owner. We appreciate the feed back and hope you will stay with us again. |

We just spent a wonderful week at the Seabiscuit and had a fabulous time. This is
the first time that we stayed in a cottage instead of a hotel -- and it was perfect. We loved leaving our car in the driveway and riding bicycles all over the island! The pictues didn't even do it justice. When we pulled up in the driveway and stepped out of the car for the first time we instantly felt relaxed! We'd definitely recommend this perfect little cottage. I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE the paper lanterns on the screened in porch! All of the little details of the decor were so interesting. I could go on and on! It is just absolutely PERFECT for two people! We also loved reading the guest book that was in the living room with all of the people who had stayed there in the past's experiences and resturant reccomendations! I cannot wait to come back to Tybee! |

| We had been talking about Tybee for several years, and this was our year. We loved it! The Cottage was cozy, quaint and very nice. The decor was beautiful and it made you feel so at home. The Cottage was in a perfect location, good for walks to the beach and the back water, walking into town or just strolling the island. It was as "cute as a button!" I recommend a visit and a stay to Tybee Island, and I do recommend the Seabiscuit for your stay, especially if you are looking to have the perfect, romantic vacation! We ran out of time before running out of things to do! |

The Perfect Little Cottage |

| My husband and I were looking for a place to spend 3 to 4 days for our 10th wedding anniversary that was within a couple of hours drive from where we live. We found it at the Sea Biscuit Cottage in Tybee Island, GA. It was just as cute on the inside as on the outside and the most perfect place we could have asked for: quiet, within a few blocks of the ocean, and with all the amenities we could have asked for. When we arrived there was a bottle of champagne along with a card wishing us a happy anniversary. That was such a nice touch. When we have the opportunity we will definitely stay there again. |

| My husband and I have stayed on Tybee several times before, but always on the beach side of the island. So, we decided to give the other side a chance. When we saw this cottage on line we fell in love with it. Both the cottage and the yard sold it for us. The cottage was perfect but the yard was a big disappointment. It didn't measure up to what we saw in the pictures. The furniture was rusty and the adirondack chairs were broken. The umbrella was also non-functioning. They also promised a wagon and beach chairs. Wagon rusty, beach chairs, not so much. Maybe they have replaced them sense our visit. I would ask first if this one of the reasons why you would chose this site. Also the gas tank to the grill was empty. We had to fill it before we could use it. All though they did reimburse us by check. Any way the cottage itself was fabulous!!! |

Great Weekend |

We found this place after searching other options for a weekend rental on Tybee. The Price was right and although it was a little bit small, we didnt come to the beach to sit in the house all day. Its perfect for a couple going on the cheap. The only complaint would be to have a more comfortable couch. The location was great, just a short drive or stroll to the beach. It is in a quiet area and was very private considering that there are houses on either side.
We'll be staying here again when we come back!
