This stay at 9 lovell ave was the best. The house was immaculate and so fresh looking. We loved being close to the beach and places to eat. Hihly recommended.
House was an idyllic - rustic, beach bungalow. Perfect for a few people or little family. It is more than 99.5 steps to the beach, but it is only a 2 minute walk roughly. Beach wasnât ever too busy. Everything worked as it should, and we had no issues at all! Great stay. Would rent from Tybee Cottages again!
This was the perfect cottage for my sister and me to stay at for a long weekend or unwind! We were close to the beach, shopping, restaurants, and Savannah. Everything worked as expected and was as described. We were not disappointed and would recommend this cottage for two to three people who get along very well. The rental company was easy to work with and provided check in and check out information in a timely manner. Thank you for this jewel and we look forward to staying with you again.
Our family truly enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage. With only a few steps to the ocean and to the sugar shack, our kids thought it was the perfect location and trip. Thanks for providing such a great base for our family adventure.
Super cute place to get away! Being just a short walk from the beach meant being able to watch the sunrise across the water. The main cottage is quite small, so don't pack a lot of stuff! However, the quaintness makes up it! The separate bedroom was a perfect oasis away from the kids, while being close enough to not be removed. We had a mishap with a lock, but management was super responsive and had the situation resolved in no time. The kitchen came super stocked with everything needed to prepare meals. The only negative thing about this place I can think of is a broom would have been nice to keep up with the inevitable beach vacation sand.
Perfect location; only 99 steps to the beach. Great beach path. Small 1 âbedroomâ cottage with a detached bedroom. The inside bedroom isnât private but was great with my daughter. She slept on the daybed so we could easily talk but have our own space. We didnât use the detached room. Comfortable but small.
Adoreable decor, great pieces to make the small space functional yet comfy! Outdoor shower was convenient for the 99.5 step walk from the beach. Felt at home here
This is my second time staying in this cottage and I love it. It has everything you need for a weekend retreat. Incredibly close to the beach and in a quiet neighborhood. Host was always helpful and prompt to respond.
The Old Love Cottage is exactly as marketed - small, charming, so close to the beach that it cannot be beat. We appreciated the location so much and had a fantastic time. It's definitely a very tight fit for five people given that there is only one real bedroom, and that room is in a different building! However we felt that the description was very thorough and we knew what we were getting into.
The only reason I am not giving it five stars is because the cottage needs, and deserves, a little TLC. Given the price point, some upgrades in terms of the stove, washer dryer, outdoor shower, and kitchen items is needed.
But, again, the location is the best you will find on Tybee. Walking distance to restaurants and shops, 150 steps to the best, least crowded, beach area on the island, and two parking spaces... Absolutely perfect.
Washer & dryer didn't work. A/C couldn't keep up with the hot weather, nighttime was the worst trying to sleep and it wasn't cool enough for comfort. Tried to call after hr. maintenance number, didn't connect or take a message. That was frustrating, but overall, we had a good time. Cottage is very cute.
The location was amazing, the beach was less crowded than other spots, the walk to the beach was easy and beautiful. The house is rustic but charming in its own beachy way. The bed in the guest house is a queen not a king. Nice place for a couple as someone else remarked. The AC worked well and in the Georgia heat it was needed. We had a few issues and there was no follow up from the rental agency but some of the issues self resolved so wasnât a problem. The other issues we didnât report but the washer does not rinse cycle and the tub drains slow. Not deal breakers for us. For the price and location it is worth the stay.
When we arrived at the cottage, we loved the location, found it quaint and nicely decorated. Unfortunately, the wifi was not working. We called the property management company and a concierge came out the next day and confirmed the router wasnât getting power. He sat up a Hot Spot, and planned to return the following day with another box. The hot spot did not provide great service and this was a working vacation for us, so my husband missed several meetings. The new box failed, too. We were told the hot spot would have to do till we vacated. Then, the AC went out. The management company was quick to offer a transfer to a ânicer home.â It was very hot, but we only had two nights left, so we did move. This was a huge inconvenience, and this beach bungalow was two steps up, the new home was 2 flights of stairs in extreme heat. It was miserable and took 1/2 a day dealing with this, 1/2 a day dealing with AC. Basically, a whole day of our 3 day/4 night vacation. The property manager said we would also get a discount, but so far, we have heard nothing from the owner. This cottage was one home from the beach, the ânicer homeâ was 2 blocks past Butler (three blocks from the beach).
We loved the location of this adorable cottage. It was nice to follow the path and get right to the beautiful beach and ocean! We rented bikes for a few days which was awesome for getting around.
A few things I would like to address are as follows:
I wish that nice beach chairs were included with the price of the rental. The chairs there, Iâm quite sure have just been passed on from one guest to the next. I was able to pull out 4 but only two were usable. We purchased another chair and we left it there for the next person. The ones there are quite rusty and the leg broke off after one time at the beach. My daughter was also stung by a hornet as there was a small nest right where the chairs were kept. I just feel itâs a small price to pay to supply chairs for far away travelers.
The little added guest house is such a nice retreat but the AC does not keep that room cool. Because of the poor AC out there, it would be GREAT to have a bigger fan out there other than a small table top fan that in no way provided any relief. A pedestal fan that oscillates would be a much better way to go.
The outside shower was absolutely awesome and we used it daily!!
We did enjoy our stay here and would stay again for the location alone. Just a few minor details as I mentioned would make ones stay a much better experience!
This was a very cozy locale only a few steps from the beach. Very clean and tidy. Not a lot of noise. Only issue was AC vents were a little clogged. Husband cleaned one out a little and airflow returned. Would highly recommend to friends and family. Will be back in the future. Thanks for an awesome time!
Small, very clean and cozy. It is really only 99 steps to the beach. I will go out on a limb and say it is probably the best cottage on Tybee. We will definitely look for this one again when we visit Tybee.
Weâve stayed nearby this home every summer for 15 years and loved the history and true look of a small town beach house. This year we needed extra room so rented this home for 1 extra couple just 1 home away from the main rental for my family. The separate bedroom behind the main house has windows that open with screens on both sides of the bed allowing for some amazing afternoon naps! Very clean and the owner has made great use of space. Quiet area with easy beach access and just steps away from the Sugar Shack, Chuâs market and a good restaurant.
