Tybee Island Sunrise

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Discover the quaint coastal charm of Tybee Island from this cottage, a vintage home welcoming guests with a screened-in porch, a shaded backyard, free WiFi, and a great location with easy walking access to all of the island's best attractions.

Walk just a half-mile to North Beach and, on your way, sightsee at historic Fort Screven or the Tybee Island Light Station and Museum. But you'll also be just two miles north of shops and eateries along Tybrisa Street. If you have a larger group, consider renting both this house and the back cottage, Tybee Island Sunset, which has one bedroom, one full bathroom, and space for as many as two people.

Built in 1900, this beautifully preserved home is full of coastal colors, folksy furnishings, and artistic decor. Walk up a few stairs and through a front porch to view its single floor layout with a spacious living area, a full kitchen, three bedrooms, and a back porch. Spend some time in the gentle breeze from the overhead fan in the living area, or flip on the 60-inch flatscreen TV for DVD and cable entertainment.

Peer out over the neighborhood from a sofa and Adirondack chairs on the front porch, or head out back to sip sweet tea in the shade of Live Oak trees. You'll certainly love the backyard options, which include two tables for al fresco dining (one even with an umbrella), plus tropical landscaping and a screened-in porch attached to the house that overlooks it all.

Feeling hungry? Whip up a homemade meal back inside in the well-equipped kitchen. It features all that you'll need for whipping up fresh feasts while you're here, and there's even group seating at tables by the kitchen, on the back porch, and in the backyard.

Afterward, toss your dishes in the dishwasher, your clothes in the washer/dryer, and head to bed. Up to six guests are accommodated on queen beds in two bedrooms and twin beds in a third bedroom. Additional bedroom amenities include ceiling fans, reading lamps, and large picture windows with privacy curtains.

Whether you're looking for fun in town or relaxation on the beach, you'll find it all on Tybee Island. Reserve your spot on a fishing charter, or schedule surfing lessons on the beach. You could also explore the marshlands of the Wassaw National Wildlife Refuge by kayak, or head into Savannah (17 miles west) to sample the city scene.

Cute Little Place

Liked the place! The porch was the best. Very clean and had all of the essentials. We got locked out when we left for dinner because the bottom and top locks on the front door didn’t match, but the team helped us to get a locksmith out to resolve the problem for us and future people who stay there.

Home that feels like home

I love this house. The decor is so cozy, the beds are SUPER comfortable. Conveniently located, love the neighborhood. Close to the park and the beach! Loved the foliage on the property and the front porch is perfect for sipping morning coffee.

Great beach house

The local Vacasa team are fantastic! Make sure you get in touch with them if you need anything. The house itself is really nice and comfortable and the location is fantastic on the north end. We had a great visit and would definitely stay again.

Perfect little bungalow

This place is so cutely decorated and very clean. Beds are very comfy. Nice location out of the way of the main traffic but still close to anything you want to see and do. I travel to Tybee several times a year to fish the river and Tybee creek. I have stayed at several different hotels and condos. This was my first time at the Sunrise. I will always book my trips around open dates here and stay nowhere else from now on. The neighborhood made me feel like a local. lol. The driveway was perfect for my truck and 17’ mako.

We love the quaint charming feel of the home. It was on a very quiet street, but parking was a little tight. It was very clean, but there was no coffee pot with the coffee maker, no extra toilet paper, no dish cloths, and no extra blankets. We enjoyed the evenings out on the front porch with our family.

Quaint Cottage in Quiet Neighborhood

A quaint early-20th-century cottage with a lot of character, including squeaky doors, hardwood floors, lots of huge windows, peeling paint, comfy beds and a great porch. The place was well-stocked and our stay was pleasant. The only minor issues we had were a stopped-up bathroom sink and a set of 5 (yes 5) can openers in the well-appointed kitchen, not one of which could actually open a can, and some bath linens that were probably a little past their retirement age. Also, the $150 property-management fee (which was over-and-above the rental fee) seemed quite excessive. The final verdict? I'd probably stay here again.

Let down!

Arrived and couldn’t get in, code we were sent was a 10 digit e-lock but this house had a 4 digit combi lock. No help from vacasa, didn’t answer either number or reply to our message. We eventually managed to open the back door with a stick but the whole time we were there they never sorted it, so we didn’t have keys - we couldn’t leave anything safely in the house. Inside it had some shabby charm, but needs a massive deep clean and general fix up/ decorate. Well on the way to just shabby… Not everything worked. Some things (like the complimentary laundry tabs) were empty. The washing machine was full of black rot. Cockroaches kept appearing in the bathroom at night and one of the bedrooms, which was revolting. Sheets and towels were clean though, appreciated the aircon and the beds were good. Tybee was nice and the location near the lighthouse was helpful. If we hadn’t been able to basically break in, vacasa would have left us homeless after a very long drive, and they still haven’t done anything about our complaint. Avoid…

Disappointed

Thursday upon check in, the code they gave us didn’t work, I called to get someone to the home because we had dinner plans with family that we haven’t seen in 10 years. I was told someone would be at the house to see what was going within the hour, nobody showed so I had to stay behind and missed dinner with family I haven’t seen in 10 yrs. Nobody ever showed up. Not even a phone call. Not lighting on front porch at night, have 2 elderly people in the home not safe. The house was not clean sand on the floors. In order to sit on front porch we had to clean it. Medication was left from previous stay once again not safe. Elderly family member was sitting in chair and it broke and he hit the floor hard, 2nd chair broke my sister-in-law of 90 pounds. Grill did not work and we had to make other cooking arrangements.a jug of cleaner was left on dresser once again not safe. Couch was dirty. Dryer needs cleaning major fire hazard. Husband is retired Fire fighter and has been to numerous house fires because of built up. Freezer needs to be cleaned. The house is cute, however poor lighting. Neighbor hood was very quiet which we enjoyed. Not enough bath towels and washcloths for 6 people. Thursday evening I can never get back with my family. Unfortunately I have pictures but I can’t post! Paying for a cleaning deposit and home not being clean they are making money off of this.

Cutest and most comfortable stay

My family and I loved staying at Tybee Island Sunrise! I absolutely love anything vintage and was so nice to see this home so well cared for! It was both comfortable and cozy for us all! Plenty of room for my 3 kiddos to run around! The neighbors were so friendly in the area and very helpful as well! I highly recommend staying at Tybee Sunrise! Also the staff with Vacasa were more than helpful and it is so appreciated! Highly recommend Vacasa anytime!

It was a decent place to stay

The house wasn’t bad, the only thing was the floor looked like it had not been swept at all before we arrived and all of the sand that was on the leather couch. One interesting thing was the outdoor furniture that was stacked up in front of the washer and dryer on the back porch you have to move it all to access them. The final thing was that they send you a code to get in the door and it’s not the right one. After a long drive down there, it took us 20ish minutes just to get in the house because they gave us a 10 digit code and its only a 4 digit lockbox. We had to call and ask the after hours office to give us the correct code. Overall, not too bad, but we probably would choose a different location to stay on our next visit.

Charming Cottage on Tybee

We loved staying in this charming cottage. We didn't realize it was nearly 1 mile to the beach, but got in some good walking. Loved the tables out back and the interesting neighborhood. Wish there was an outdoor shower, but we made do with the water hose so we didn't track sand inside. Communication was a bit slow up front, but the team was great and immediately replied to our texts as need arose.

Cozy cabin near north beach, shops, and restaurants

We loved spending our long holiday weekend at the Sunrise. The AC worked wonderfully, the endless hot water made for great after beach showers for our whole party. And we loved being within a five minute walk of the serene beach & the awesome sea Wolf restaurant. Staying out of our car and on foot made our short vacation all the more relaxing.
