About this house rental
Welcome to Skipjack Cottage, a serene and hidden gem tucked away in the heart of Tybee Island. Located on the beach side of Butler Avenue, this charming retreat sits quietly on a private lane that leads to a path right over the dunes and onto the beach. From there, it is a short stroll to the Tybee Beach Pier and Pavilion.
With wide wraparound porches, cozy gathering spaces, and the charm of "old Tybee," Skipjack Cottage invites you to slow down, relax, and enjoy island living at its best.
Skipjack is a genuine slice of old Tybee with modern comforts.
The main living area is on the second floor. Porches wrap around the house on the south and east sides. In addition to the kitchen, dinning and living rooms, there are three bedrooms: one with a king bed, and two with queens. There are two full bathrooms upstairs.
All of the upstairs bedrooms have doors that open onto the porch, and old building technique for cross ventilation prior to air conditioning. But don't worry, central cooling and heating now provide year round comfort!
On the ground floor are two bedrooms, one featuring a full bed, and one that has a twin with a trundle. The downstairs bedrooms share a jack & jill bathroom with a large shower.
*It is important to note that there is no internal staircase to the first floor. All access to the first floor bedrooms and living area is through external staircases and doors. *
The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals: microwave, oven, gas range, dishwasher, refrigerator with filtered water and ice maker, and your choice of regular drip coffee maker or Keurig. We provide you a starter portion of coffee and fixings for when you arrive as well. If cooking isn't on your agenda, you're just a short stroll from many of Tybee's best restaurants.
The porches and downstairs play space may be the Skipjack's best feature. Upstairs, receiving the morning light from the east, and then rays all day as the sun arcs south, the porches are expansive and inviting with seating for playing games, snacks and cocktails, or just lounging with a book and no particular place to go, this is what you came to Tybee to find.
Under the house there is a ping-pong table, beach equipment and cart, gas grill, laundry room with washer, dryer, and drying rack, and plenty of space to play if you are bringing younger members of the family.
When you are ready, all you have to do is saunter down the gravel lane to the beach. And when you return, you can slip down the jasmine arbor on the side of the house to the outdoor shower to rinse off before you head in for lunch, a nap, a cocktail, whatever! Its your vacation!
*This house is ideal for 8 guests. It can accommodate 10, but the 5th bedroom, one of the two downstairs, is a twin with a twin trundle. Kids will enjoy the space, but it may not be suitable or ideal for all adults.*
We hope you choose to enjoy your time away at our house here on Tybee. Skipjack is waiting for you.

Loved staying here. Lots of places for family to gather inside and out. Would go back.

This was our second stay at skipjack Cottage. We love the five bedrooms that gives each member of our family their own room. Our favorite feature of the house is that it has everything you need for the beach the wagon the chairs some beach toys. We love the outdoor spaces the screened-in porch is great for night in the front porch with the swing is great during the day to watch people and just enjoy the day and read a book. The down stairs outdoor area which is located under the house has a ping pong table and other entertainment items. Our family loves to cook for each other the kitchen gets a little cramped but it has everything you need. We found room to park 4 cars. The only thing we found that don't work is the built-in ice maker and the ice maker in the freezer doesn't keep up.

Our stay was delightful. We are a family group of 7 ranging in ages from 14-81. The cottage was spacious and offered plenty of area for privacy as well as large-enough areas for the entire group to gather. The location is quite convenient to mainstream Tybee but also far enough from the intense crowds. The walk to the beach through the dunes was very easy—even for the 81 year-old!
