About this property

Colorful Tybee Cottage | Saltwater Pool & Steps to Beach | by Tybee Cottages

Doc Holiday Cottage is a truly exquisite cottage that exudes timeless charm. Originally built in 1930, it was thoughtfully restored and adorned by renowned preservationist and designer Jane Coslick.

Inspired by the captivating allure of the sea, this cozy and sophisticated cottage serves as a dreamy retreat for families and friends alike. The porches are adorned with cheery and bright elements, providing ample space for enjoying coffee in the morning or cocktails in the evening.

Inside, the home welcomes you with fresh furnishings and stylish light fixtures that infuse a sense of peace and vibrant coastal energy. The inviting living room beckons, leading to a spacious dining area and three beautifully appointed bedrooms. The fully equipped kitchen boasts thoughtful amenities conveniently arranged to meet all your cooking and entertaining needs. For casual gatherings, the breakfast bar offers seating for five, perfect for savoring snacks, appetizers, and refreshing summertime drinks.

The first bedroom is a custom-designed bunk room featuring two twin beds and a high-top dresser that maximizes space. This breathtaking home also presents two King master bedrooms, each with a private bath. The first main bedroom opens to a full bath with a shower/tub combo, while the second master boasts a private porch, a full bath, and a luxurious walk-in shower. An additional half bath and a walk-in laundry room, complete with a full-size washer and dryer, add to your convenience.

On the home's first level, you'll find the best of both worlds – a beautifully bricked patio with seating for four under an umbrella and a gas grill for delightful outdoor meals. An additional screened-in porch comfortably accommodates ten guests for entertaining and dining al fresco.

To enhance your experience, a luxurious private saltwater pool awaits on the other side of the property, thoughtfully enclosed by a privacy fence and adorned with plenty of loungers to bask in the warm Tybee sun.

Doc Holiday boasts a stellar location on 2nd Avenue, just steps from the beach, enchanting walking paths, bike trails, tempting restaurants, and captivating local attractions. Whether you seek relaxation or adventure, this charming cottage offers everything in one unforgettable package.

Wonderful cottage and location

My husband and I with our HS son and college age girls stayed for 4 days. We absolutely loved the location! Walk to the beach. Right next to basketball court, sand volleyball court, pickleball/tennis courts, playground, bike path!

A thoroughly enjoyable beach vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Doc Holiday Cottage was everything we hoped for in our stay in Tybee. The cottage was spacious,nicely laid out with plenty of places to hang out, relax and enjoy being with our two friends. We enjoyed the pool, the porch and slept like rocks (a good thing). The distinct and decorative colors of the cottage and its historic preservation were especially appreciated. We appreciated the opportunity to stay here. And, its an easy walk to the beautiful, mid-island beach

This house was perfect for our family! Everything was clean and exactly as described. The location is perfect with a short walk to the beach or the park just across the street, and it is minutes away from everything else. It's a short drive to go into Savannah for the day. Great communication with the host. Definitely recommend this place for any trip to Savannah or Tybee Island. Thank you!

The Perfect Getaway

This adorable cottage is exactly as advertised and was the perfect place for a week getaway to Tybee Island. It was our first time on the island and this cottage is in a great location to head out on foot or by bike to explore all Tybee has to offer. Will definitely be going back and would stay here again in a heartbeat!!

The pool was an added delight.Suggestions: ceiling fans on the front porch. Hand held shower heads, especially in the outdoor shower- to help with sand removal. I enjoyed my coffee on the porch every morning, but fans would have been perfect!

Awesome Location on Tybee MidBeach

Loved our stay in this cute little cottage. Fully equipped kitchen, steps to the beach and some gently used beach gear (mainly body boards, sand castle gear and a couple very small umbrellas) in the basement likely left by other renters that we found super helpful. Beds are super soft.

Cute cottage in a great location!

Cute cottage decorated in beach style/bright colors. Great location with easy walk to beach. Mattress in first bedroom needs to be replaced. We had issues with the pool, but the property managers worked with us. Unfortunately we couldn’t use the pool during our vacation. Overall a nice and charming cottage that was very pretty and an easy walk to beach, some shops and restaurants. Tybee is beautiful and we hope to visit again.

This was the cleanest pool of any house we have ever stayed in Georgia, Florida or Alabama. Doc has everything you need, even a cheese grater--hey sometimes it's the little things that make you feel like you are at home. The property is very well maintained and loved.

Family Spring Break Trip

Perfect vacation home for our family. The ease of check in and location to the beach and restaurants was just what we were looking for. Our family loved the house, multiple outside seating areas and especially the heated private pool. This house is decorated with the right amount of beachy comfort. We would absolutely stay here again!

Adorable home, not so adorable stay

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: High hopes based on prior reviews, but our least enjoyable Tybee stay so far. Minimal communication from Manager after monies received; guest services tried. Pool NEVER heated, despite stressing this was a key rental point and asking for confirmation that it was “in proper working heating order” before arrival ... and even after 2 visits from pool guy during our stay. Doc Holiday is a sweet property and great location, but it needs all new mattresses, cookware, the grill was so nasty we never used it, HDMI cable to dvd also inoperative and the dishwasher did not dry. Wish I could post photos of the completely clogged outside dryer vent cover (which my husband cleaned) and the moldy bathroom HVAC vent. Ruined the long awaited fall break of two military families. Don’t bother purchasing expensive trip insurance as we did; Hurricane Ian was headed to the Georgia coast so we left 3 days early. Everything on the island was either already shut down or shutting down. Since mandatory evacuation was not declared, they will not refund our money ... nor did we get any reimbursement or even an apology for all the hassles and kid’s pool disappointment. These annual Tybee renters will no longer be using this rental company.
