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.

Great house and great location. Easy walk to the beach with a gas station and 2 great restaurants right across the street. Also an easy walk down to the boardwalk and pier. Worked perfectly for our family vacation and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook our breakfast and dinners.

Great house in central location close to Lot of the commercial restaurants, bars, etc. Was surprised the downstairs two rooms are disconnected from main house without internal stairs but wasn't a big deal. Would stay again

The smell of jasmine fills the air before you even get into the house. The house is very clean, well equipped, super comfortable, it has beautiful views off every porch. The host made check-in and out very easy. Family of 6 really enjoyed the beach and the area. The games made it really easy to spend time together. I would love to come back! Thank you for sharing your home!
