Tybee Island Inn

My husband and I stayed at the Tybee Island Inn for the first part of our honeymoon. The Tybee Island Inn was so quaint. When we first walked onto the property and into the Inn it immediately felt like we were on a retreat. The grounds are the home are rustic and homey providing a relaxing vacation vibe. The Inn is located on a great part of the island- walking distance from North Beach and a little bit further away from all the shops, restaurants and Pier providing a quieter experience. The staff was very quick to respond to our needs and breakfast each morning was delicious!

Couldn't be happier with my accidental choice of this inn. Next to the beach, quiet warm evenings, filling breakfast plate, just half an hour to Savannah, romantic Spanish moss - what else would one need for an escape?... I was in the Sunset room, would venture two improvements: first, none of the lamp switches by the bed worked and two, the shower curtain in the rather spacious stall would turn to the inside of the stall once the water was on thus significantly reducing the volume that one had in the stall. There was somewhat of a confusion regarding check-in. First, communication from the hosts was rather brusque, one-line replies or statements, as if they had better things to do, and second, one link took me to a message saying "DOOR CODES will be sent the day of arrival to the email provided to us" and yet another read "Room and Lock Code: No codes created, please contact the property owner." Add to this that somewhere deep in the description of the property there was a line buried about late check-in fees (and late check-ins meant arrivals after 7 p.m. (!)), and you will understand my raised eyebrows. Wifi was excellent. No kettle in the room, but the parlor of the inn was always open, it had a kitchen with a coffee maker and kettle and a lot tea bags for tea drinkers. Oh, and no refrigerator in the room either. However, the room was kept at a really cold temperature (sometimes, even as low as 68F (= 20C)), so I guess that my medications were okay.

Don't stay here. There is a big disconnect from what we read online and what we encountered when we arrived. No one to great our friends, they did not know how to check in. Once we pieced the clues together, they got into their room and it was dirty. No one returned multiple phone calls, emails or text messages in a timely manner. No regard for the paying customer, very sad situation. We were all around dissappointed.
