Tybee Island Inn

I find it really hard to believe that the reviews on this site are real! We stayed in the lighthouse room and it was no less than disgusting. The place looks great in pictures but it smells musty and the paint and wall paper are coming of the walls. We are B&B people and have stayed in hundreds all up and down the east coast. Breakfast was strange. The woman said she mixed all the juices she had in the refrigerator together, it was so sticky sweet I could not drink it. Over $ 250.00 a night and I can’t get a glass of fresh Juice !!! I am an early bird and the woman said she would leave a Keurig machine out for me, well she did the first night, but not so surprised when it was not out the next morning. I had to convince my wife that we would only be sleeping here and spending most of our time out. Should have left and stayed at the Hampton Inn. A picture is worth 1000 words… Just not in this Case.
Giving this place one star is
generous.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a few days for my 30^th birthday. We stayed in the Flamingo room. If you look on their website the Flamingo is there least expensive room. And since we were on a budget that is the one I picked. I was not disappointed at all. Of all the rooms this is the one I will definitely stay in again. The room had its own private entrance and the room was on the bottom floor outside of the house so it was quiet. The room also had a large porch swing on the porch with a reasonably large fenced in yard. This was a great asset to us because I brough my dog with us on our trip. Yes, they are pet friendly! Another reason I picked this B & B. The inside of the room is very cool as well. There is a round staircase that goes up to the second floor of the room that has the bathroom and shower. It is only a few minutes from the beach. The lady who ran the place was very nice. I have already looked into booking another trip here soon.

Clean rooms, close to the beach. Lee (female) the innkeeper is very easy to talk to and just took over about 6 weeks ago from the previous owner. Cupcakes were made for us as an evening snack. Breakfast was delicious. We were told to relax anywhere and breakfast will be brought to us about 9am and it was. We prefer that over having to sit at a big table with everyone. Lee suggested dinner at Sundae Café a short walk up the street. The food was delicious average entrée 20+, casual attire. We stayed in the sea cabin room which is toward the front of the inn off of the community snack area. Bathroom could use some updating. We move to the savannah room tomorrow since that was the only room available that day when we booked. Sea cabin has a queen bed in a narrow room, and the bathroom is across a receiving hall and has a two person tub. The gardens around the inn are gorgeous and are covered with live oaks. Overall a lovely stay, would recommend.

This was my first time at a bed and breakfast and they have set the standard high. Tybee Island is fantastic and this inn just encourages that fact. Their breakfast is superb and served from warm and friendly servers. All the inn workers were super nice. Can’t wait to go back!

Our family was greeted warmly by the owner and innkeeper, given a thorough tour, and shown to our room. The Lighthouse room was comfortable, clean, and wonderfully private with it’s own balcony overlooking the lovely garden and long-​range view of the lighthouse. The neighborhood is nice and quiet since the property is surrounded by elder care facilities. It’s also within walking distance of the beach and a few restaurants.
The inn furnishes the rooms with good sized flat-​screen HD TVs powered by plenty of channels, as well as house-​wide wireless internet. The breakfasts are scrumptious and plentiful – fruit or oatmeal starters followed by breakfast-​style or french toast casseroles. Guests are invited to help themselves to a variety of drinks in the pantry, and wonderful baked items are made fresh daily for an evening snack. The innkeepers showed sincere efforts to make everyone feel special, and we would love to return on future trips to Tybee.

My boyfriend and I got a Groupon for a weekend stay here, otherwise we probably wouldn’t have been able to afford it, being grad students and all. It was one of the best weekend trips we’ve ever had together, if not the best. The staff was hospitable, kind and full of good ideas for how to spend our weekend. They recommended several good restaurants and sightseeing opportunities, such as the lighthouse and Fort Pulaski. We got the Captains Quarters room and it was beyond perfect. The tub was big enough for my 6′+ tall boyfriend and I to share (This is nearly impossible to find btw). The bed was comfortable and I’m dying to get my hands on a set of the sheets they use. We had a movie night one night after dinner and the TV was VERY decently sized (somewhere over 40″, maybe 46″). AND it was accompanied by a terrific sound system. The spiral staircase to the bathroom was a bit tricky after a couple bottles of wine, but still doable. However, not recommended for people who have issues with even normal stairs. AND THE BREAKFAST! Oh goodness, the breakfast. I’ve stayed at some B&Bs before, where the breakfast part is just eggs, sausage, bacon, toast, etc. They went above and beyond my expectations though. There was some sort of sweet egg custard or something underneath half of a crispy croissant, topped with warm fruit and a thin blueberry sauce, and whipped cream. Boyfriends came with sausage on the side, which I politely requested to have removed from mine, being vegetarian and all. The second day, there was some sort of banana pudding parfait, along with a frittata with tomatoes, bacon, spinach and some other stuff. I couldn’t eat it because of the bacon but it looked yummy! I cannot wait to go back! Maybe once I get the big-​girl job, I’ll be able to afford the normal nightly rates. And believe me, it’s worth it!

This was an adorable little Inn. It felt like you were staying with family, very warm and inviting. The rooster is gone now (or at least it did not crow at all). It was a leisurely drive from Savannah (about 20 – 30 minutes), and very close to the beach, lighthouse, restaurants, and John Mellencamp’s abode! This is definitely a relaxation spot and is geared for an older crowd… very quiet.
This B&B has exceptional food! We were served a super filling gourmet breakfast each morning and were able to taste a sweet treat each evening. The food here was my favorite part of our vacation. They also took care of making your bed and cleaning the room so you did not have to lift a finger. We stayed in the Dolphin room which was quaint though a little light-​blocking in terms of window coverings and a window that led to the stairwell would have been preferred. Also, keep in mind you do not have control over the thermostat at this Inn though they had a fan there to use which did a pretty good job.
I will say for us it’s best for a weekend trip or to utilize the Groupon deal as we prefer a hotel atmosphere for longer trips and it was a bit on the pricey side without the discount. Keep in mind it’s an older building and very quiet so you can hear people from time to time, though overall our stay was really lovely and it was a joy to meet the Inn keepers/​fellowguests.

I loved this place! It is beautiful and has an awesome atmosphere. The garden is gorgeous! The inn is only a short walk from the beach. My only complaint (and the only reason that I’m not giving this place 5 stars) is that you aren’t in control of the climate in your room (AC or heater). The innkeepers control it via a central thermostat. Being that I am a hot-​natured person, I found my room to be too warm the entire time. Thankfully, they had fans and it was cool enough outside to open the windows. My only other complaint is that the neighbor has a rooster that crows nonstop once the sun begins to come up (if you keep the windows closed, you can’t really hear it but if you’re hot and have the windows open you can forget getting any sleep after the rooster gets started).

What a wonderful, charming inn! My new husband and I stayed here for a «mini-​moon» after our wedding. We stated for 4 nigts, and found the innkeepers, Johnathan and Marcy to be outstanding. Extremely hospitable and knowledgable about the island, eager to give info on restaurants and activities. We stayed in a downstairs room with a private entrance. It was small, and the bathroom was wierdly placed on the second floor, but it was charming nontheless. Beach access was a few minute walk away, and even during peak summer travel time, it was never overrun with people. The inn was clean and historical. It served as the hospital day room for the fort that was nearby. The grounds are breathtaking and secluded. A real stunner! The breakfasts were delicious, beautifully presented and gourmet. I hope we add the Tybee Island Inn to our annual routine, I would visit here every year if we could!

We stayed at this B&B for two days a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it. The hostess was very friendly and didn’t talk our ear off. The room we were in had it’s own porch in the back and offered some good privacy. The house itself was beautiful, and only a short walk to the beach.
If you’re planning to stay on Tybee Island, give the Tybee Island Inn a try.
