Such a great home & location!
The only thing wrong with our stay was that it wasn’t longer! The home was in a fantastic area, within walking distance to the beach and the strip! The home was clean, cozy, welcoming and just perfect for our family. We will definitely be reserving another trip at the Whelk Come Inn in Tybee!

A little too "rustic" for the price
This home is very old and outdated, was not clean at all upon arrival. Bad smell the whole time. It's dark and closed floor plan with unfinished concrete floors. Mosquitos were flying around in the home the whole trip. We got eaten alive even though we made sure to close the doors quickly.

Great surprise! Loved the ‘extras’!
This is an amazingly comfortable house with a fantastic kitchen! This allowed us to easily cook a meal or two & make use of the grill & back patio. We were pleasantly surprised by some of the unexpected extras- beach chairs, body boards, and cooler for a day trip to the beach at Tybee! The location near Forsyth Park was nice for morning & evening walks. Easily walkable to dining, shopping, & church. We’ll be back!

Most favorite vacation home ever!
Everything about this house is super cute- so clean, vintage style, all in family, including teenagers, absolutely loved their stay here. The “shed” holds the washer/dryer and also has a toilet and shower that my husband used. It was so handy having that extra space. Small yard and patio perfect for playing games and eating/grilling outside. Location was perfect for walking to beach and restaurants. Nice, quiet street. Will definitely stay here again :)

Vacation in Tybee
The house is really old but very clean. The beds were comfortable with nice tvs to watch. There is missing curtains and neighbors can see in the house. You cannot turn the ac lower than 70 so running the fans is a must. The sink and shower back up in use so you need to use each quickly. It was nice to have a shower outside and plenty of towels, so everyone could rinse off before entering the house. I loved that we were walking distance to the beach and to town. This is a true beach house. We would rent it again

Rustic Beauty!
I absolutely loved this place. I will be honest, it is not going to be for everyone. It is updated, but an old cottage. So if you're used to the Marriott or something like that, it may not be your cup of tea. But the charm is exactly what I loved about it. It reminded me of my grandmother and great-aunt's home with the hardwood floors and old school metal door knobs. It is clean and cozy and the kids loved the bunk beds. The location is awesome. It's 1 1/2 blocks from 3 separate boardwalks. One to the Atlantic, one where the Atlantic meets the inlet and one on the inlet. There are restaurants and shops within walking distance. We would definitely stay again!
