Clean and location is excellent. Staff is responsive and helpful. Only challenge is the parking spot. If you have anything bigger than a small sedan you will be very challenged in getting in the parking spot. You can do it but its very tight.

We had the best time during our first trip out in Tybee. The condo looked exactly as it does in the photos. With the pool access being on the same street we were able to hit the pool in the mornings and beach after lunch. Everything for us was in walking distance which was amazing. We found ourselves enjoying the late afternoons on the porch and on the cozy couches for a late night movie. The communication with Southern Belle was superior. Only cons were the tight parking space and mild amount of kitchen supplies. But the pros outweigh that! Thank you for an awesome stay that felt like home!!

My husband, daughter and I enjoyed our stay. We especially appreciated the quick responsiveness of the management team. The vrbo pictures accurately represented how the property looked. The following two items could however have been improved. 1. The patio cushions were badly stained and 2. There was no curtain or covering on the primary bathroom window. The bathroom window was clear and overlooked the street and neighboring buildings. A covering on the clear window would have made our bathroom visits more comfortable.

Great condo, lovely decor
Overall, loved my stay. Great location near the beach. Condo had everything I needed. The parking garage is super narrow, with a fence directly behind it, which makes it challenging to get larger SUVs into the tight space.Someone complained about my small dog barking. If a dog barking on a busy street on the party end of the island is an issue, I do question the pet friendliness of this unit. However, it is a lovely unit and I loved my stay.

Close to beach
The condo was close to the beach and many restaurants and shops. We could easily walk to eat or get ice cream each evening. The condo was clean and decorated nicely. The parking is tight if you don’t have a small car. We had a large truck that would not fit under the condo and had to reach out to the management company to find other options to park. They responded quickly and found a solution and It was a nice stay. Highly recommend!

perfect location to spend time in Tybee!
This spot is a 2 min walk to the beach or pool and everything in between! We loved our stay here so much. the only caveat is that you can hear everything in the unit above - as in actual conversations. But we didn’t mind too much given how perfect everything else was! I highly suggest parking your car for your entire stay and renting bikes. We made a reservation with tybee bike rental online and had them delivered next day, it was so convenient! This was such a great trip, thank you so much to our hosts!

Great location
This apartment is 1/2 block from the beach and 1.5 blocks from the Tybrisa shopping block. Short walk to restaurants. Very nicely decorated and appointed with kitchen items. If you can find a listing on the 2nd or 3rd floor, take it. This one was on the 1st floor and the upstairs neighbors have very heavy feet. The stair access is on the beach side close to the street and immediately adjacent to the car parking spot (our CRV fit tightly in the spot provided) - a bit confusing to find when you first arrive. It is right next to the trash cans - hold your nose when approaching or leaving the apartment.

February getaway 2023
Was a cute property and had every thing that we needed, beds were comfortable, good pressure in bathroom everything we needed in kitchen , TVs worked great with lots of streaming , close walk to beach , shops and restaurants..but I can tell you right now that the carpets in both bedrooms were stained beyond belief and no, they did not have somebody come in professionally and clean like it’s stated. It would not be hard at all to get a carpet cleaner in there.. the cream color couches were also stained, they are slip covers all you need to do is take them off and wash them which we did and they came out perfectly clean on the larger of the two. We could not leave them dirty and 💯 cleaner than when we came.
