Another great year at Mock Dock

We had a wonderful stay with family over spring break at Tybee. The location on the back river was perfect for our family. Relatives rented a few houses down from us and we spent our days on the dock and beach

The perfect place to relax

The location was perfect to be away from everything, but still within a short bike ride of plenty of places to eat. The dock is amazing! This was the perfect place for me, my husband and our15 year old.

Best digs on Tybee!

Wow- we LOVED this house! Quiet street, only a short walk to the pier and shopping area. The house had all the rustic charm of old Tybee, while still being extremely comfortable. And a private dock?? Seriously amazing. We laughed because the dock alone was bigger than our whole living room at our house. We will absolutely be back!

So relaxing

‘Every so often, go where you can hear a wooden screen door slam shut.’And this property has five wooden screen doors.Nicely kept, charming cottage with fantastic waterfront access. It has everything you need for a small group stay, and is within walking distance to most of the hotspots on Tybee. I am so glad we found it.

Tybee Trip

We have stayed at Mock Dock the last couple trips to Tybee and we absolutely love it. My brother’s grandson went on the trip this time and he had a great time. The dock is awesome and the Back River beach is also only steps away.

Relaxation on the Back River

We had a wonderful time at the Mock Dock! The location is perfect and within walking distance to several restaurants and shops. We spent a lot of time relaxing and enjoying the incredible views on for dock and walking on the beach, which is steps away from the back door. The beds were very comfortable and the house is stocked with all your basic needs! We will definitely be back!!

Cozy and great inter coastal view and beach

My Wife and I, two teen boys and my senior Mom all had great time. Warm and relaxing rustic interior. The private dock your own large deck in the water on inter coastal was enjoyed by all and our regular hangout to fish, sun bathe, kayak, and enjoy the views and easy access to beach. Just 4 blocks to restaurant and beach shop area. It was a great stay for our group.

Wonderful stay on Back Beach!

This was our first stay on Tybee's Back Beach. The location was perfect for our relaxing sisters' vacation. The house is welcoming and comfortable (Elizabeth has thought of everything!). We caught fish from the dock, enjoyed watching the dolphins play and loved the amazing sunsets. Found lots of seashells on our walks along the shore. We already plan on staying here again. Five star review *****!

Spring Break at Tybee

We had a wonderful stay here with our kids! Highlights included suppers on the screen porch, fishing and sunsets on the dock, and walks on the beach. We brought paddle boards along and had a great time paddling to Little Tybee. The location was fantastic. The house was very quaint and comfortable for our outdoorsy family. On some cooler days we headed into Savannah and to see Fort Pulaski which were both so conveniently nearby. Our family friends stayed in a house a couple of blocks away and we rented golf carts to go back and forth between the houses. It was such a great family vacation

Mock Dock for the win!

The house was amazing! Clean, comfortable, and relaxing. It is close enough to everything that you can walk, saved a lot of money on parking. The dock and views of the water are the highlight of this property. Sunsets were beautiful, saw dolphins everyday, caught some fish and enjoyed the sun. Having the beach right out the back door made for an amazing trip. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a perfect vacation spot!

Best spot on Tybee

This cottage was the perfect fit for our group. More in a quiet area not on the Main beach but you have your own pier with huge covered dock. Private white sand beach. We caught blue crabs and fish off the dock. Was the best vacation ever. The cottage is great with areas where you can relax and the huge screened porch was where we spent most of our time when not out on the dock. Seriously this place is Amazing. Already planning our next visit for next year.

Perfect Location

Couldn't have been in a better spot to enjoy all that Tybee has to offer. Got to enjoy beautiful sunsets over the water on the private dock. The private beach was perfect for quiet walks. Rented a golf cart, which is highly recommended to avoid paying to park everywhere. Elizabeth stocked the house with more than enough to enjoy our stay. Plenty of towels, beach chairs, fishing equipment, and even a kayak. Kitchen is large and we enjoyed meals out on the spacious screened in porch. We would definitely stay again when we visit Tybee again!

Great location!

The house is cute and love how it was kept as the original fishing cottage! The biggest star, in my opinion, is that dock! We spent most of our time at the house on the dock. I think every single time we were out there we saw dolphins swimming by. It was the perfect way to unwind and relax on vacation. We fished and crabbed right from the dock for several days. The lounge chairs were great so I could lay in the sun and read. When you need a break from the sun, you can just go under the roof and get some shade. We rented a golf cart so we could cruise around town, it really is the best way to get around! I think the only time we got in the car was to go over to the marina for our kayak trip. We did go out to eat a few times but also ordered pizza and take out a few nights and ate on the dock. Elizabeth was great to work with and her binder of notes and suggestions was very helpful!

Best Location On Tybee!

If you're the kind of traveler that spends more time outdoors than indoors, then this is the perfect place for you. Cons: Really small bathrooms & showers, no king beds, small but adequate kitchen, no TVs in bedrooms. PROS: Hands-down the best dock on Tybee. This covered dock is HUGE, has running water/sink, has a hose, is equipped with chairs and lounges, and has a spot where you can jump into the ocean. It also has a HUGE screened in porch with lighting, fans, and plenty of furniture/dining. It has a great fire pit (hard to find on Tybee) with Adirondacks. There's plenty of porch space. There's an outdoor shower/foot sprayer. The entire place is secluded with lush vegetation. The front yard is HUGE for car parking or kids that like to play ball. The owners are super responsive and they stock the rental with all the soaps, paper goods, spices, cookware, and dishes that you will need for the entire week. They have plenty of beach towels, and coolers, and water toys. It's the ideal place to stay if you're flying and can't bring your beach gear with you. I've stayed here twice in the past 2 years (first on a girls' trip and loved it so much that I brought my family back) and will stay here again if I ever go back to Tybee!

Dream Come True

I led a Women Writers' Circle Retreat at Mock Dock, and it was five days of heaven. Like many women writers, I am always dreaming of "the perfect time and place" to write, and Mock Dock proved to be just that. And now...my dream is to once again bring a group of writers to Mock Dock in 2023!

Wonderful place!

We had a really nice week at the house, on the dock, and at the beach! The house itself is inviting and cozy, but one of the best parts is the dock! Our family likes to fish, kayak, and layout in the sun so this location was perfect for us. Everything on the island is close by, maybe 20 car ride max - and it has a cool small town beach feel to it! Elizabeth provides many awesome recommendations to help make the trip even better! We would definitely come back here for a relaxing and fun week in the Tybee sun!
