Tybee Island Inn

My friend and I stayed for 2 nights for a girls weekend getaway. We had the "Aft Deck" room which was spacious enough (bed on main level and another bed on loft level upstairs). The room also had a sofa and tv. The common area has a fridge, coffee, and microwave available to use (but not advertised or posted as far as I can tell). There were some hairs in the bed that were clearly from previous guests; when we told the owner he said "there's nothing we can do to prevent that after the sheets go through the dryer."...but you could check when you make the bed, though, right??? The bathroom cold have used a good deep clean as well. The room had a VERY strong smell of mold or mildew, not sure. BUT I want to give my overall stay 4/5 stars because of the location, the gorgeous courtyard, the friendly host, air conditioning, and the breakfast that was provided. The building is old and in need of some basic maintenance and there were a few issues, but overall it was a good stay. It seems there are several owners (based on other reviews); we only saw Chris there and he seemed friendly and hardworking. When I called ahead of my stay, I talked to Alyssa so I'm not sure who is really running things. I was confused upon check in because I received an email about a "room code" but there was no code. When I called they said the keys would just be in the door...which seems unsecure to me? I noticed other guests confused about their room location and how to get in as well.

Absolutely loved staying here, the atmosphere and historic charm of this place can’t be beat. The beds were clean and comfortable and the breakfast was delicious every day we were there! The bathroom was funky with the shower head facing sideways and the room could use a little TLC, but if you’re expecting a new and soulless room, book at the Hilton or somewhere else. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable!!

A quaint B&B on the north end of the island in the historic district. Our room was comfortable and clean, and very quiet, although we were in the off-season and the house was not full. Do be aware that the booking website requires you to “opt out” of trip insurance. I was surprised to find the insurance charge on my receipt after the fact, and I regret that I didn’t notice it until after we left.
