The Tybee Bomb

For over a decade, my husband and I have been coming to Tybee for its
natural beauty and pace of life. The people we meet (time and again) are
genuinely charming. The homes we've rented have been ideal.
This year, we stayed at Island Retreat as repeat customers of Tybee
Vacation Rentals; our experience far surpassed our expectations. Every
practical convenience was made available to us. And the home was truly
lovely.
As the mother of a three year old (who has not completely lost her lust for
luxury), the apartment was a perfect combination of home-style amenities
and aesthetic details. Comfortable beds, tasteful art, equipped kitchen,
children's movies, cozy patio, gorgeous landscape, extra towels and
linens... I didn't use the flat screen T.V. in the master bedroom but I
cherished the stacked washer and dryer in the walk-in closet. The only
thing I enjoyed more than our lodgings was the beach itself.
The beach is why we come. If I try to describe it, you might imagine any
other beach in the world. But given the chance to sit across from Little
Tybee at sunset, before the sky erupts under pressure from a passing
storm, you will certainly understand why my family and I drive 745 miles to
be restored by the Island's magic.
Take my advise: eat at Sundae Cafe, drink at Huckapoo's, trust TVR and
above all, look around. Tybee Island is, most likely, the very treasure itself,
that Captain Flint has made so famous.
