Great Little Gem

Super cute place to get away! Being just a short walk from the beach meant being able to watch the sunrise across the water. The main cottage is quite small, so don't pack a lot of stuff! However, the quaintness makes up it! The separate bedroom was a perfect oasis away from the kids, while being close enough to not be removed. We had a mishap with a lock, but management was super responsive and had the situation resolved in no time. The kitchen came super stocked with everything needed to prepare meals. The only negative thing about this place I can think of is a broom would have been nice to keep up with the inevitable beach vacation sand.

Cute little cottage

Perfect location; only 99 steps to the beach. Great beach path. Small 1 “bedroom” cottage with a detached bedroom. The inside bedroom isn’t private but was great with my daughter. She slept on the daybed so we could easily talk but have our own space. We didn’t use the detached room. Comfortable but small.

Cute with flaws

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: While extremely cute this property was located on a dead end street with no lighting. The curtains were not sufficient in size so it didn't feel like there was much privacy. There was no closet and all flat surfaces had some type of decor on it which left no place to put your things. The toilet was not solid on the floor so felt like you might fall through the floor while using it. I do not think more than 2 people would be comfortable staying here at a time.

Family stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in the old Love cottage. Unfortunately, it was not great for families as listed. The third bedroom is an attached building so we were not able to really utilize the space well as a family. Also, you could tell that it was worn from many years of guests. Furniture was stained or unsteady, there was a hole in the bedroom floor, and sheets were stained. The toilet was also very loose and moved when you sat down and the shower curtain was moldy. I understand a beach cottage and beach conditions are not going to equal the most luxurious stay, but these seem to be pretty easy fixes.

Perfect stay in this adorable cottage!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fantastic vacation in this adorable cottage! Perfectly decorated and full of charm! We absolutely loved every aspect of the cottage. We had three teen girls and me; with the little cottage out back, we were fine on space, even with one bathroom. Kitchen was well stocked. We loved the location, with a quick 3 minute walk to the beach. Conveniently located to beach, groceries, restaurants, lighthouse etc. We rented bikes and rode them everywhere we went all week - perfect location! My first trip to Tybee, loved the vibe and this cottage would be my "go-to" when I come again. Thank you!

Fantastic Beach Option

The Old Love Cottage is exactly as marketed - small, charming, so close to the beach that it cannot be beat. We appreciated the location so much and had a fantastic time. It's definitely a very tight fit for five people given that there is only one real bedroom, and that room is in a different building! However we felt that the description was very thorough and we knew what we were getting into. The only reason I am not giving it five stars is because the cottage needs, and deserves, a little TLC. Given the price point, some upgrades in terms of the stove, washer dryer, outdoor shower, and kitchen items is needed. But, again, the location is the best you will find on Tybee. Walking distance to restaurants and shops, 150 steps to the best, least crowded, beach area on the island, and two parking spaces... Absolutely perfect.

Hot visit to Tybee

Washer & dryer didn't work. A/C couldn't keep up with the hot weather, nighttime was the worst trying to sleep and it wasn't cool enough for comfort. Tried to call after hr. maintenance number, didn't connect or take a message. That was frustrating, but overall, we had a good time. Cottage is very cute.

New love for old love

The location was amazing, the beach was less crowded than other spots, the walk to the beach was easy and beautiful. The house is rustic but charming in its own beachy way. The bed in the guest house is a queen not a king. Nice place for a couple as someone else remarked. The AC worked well and in the Georgia heat it was needed. We had a few issues and there was no follow up from the rental agency but some of the issues self resolved so wasn’t a problem. The other issues we didn’t report but the washer does not rinse cycle and the tub drains slow. Not deal breakers for us. For the price and location it is worth the stay.

It was very clean and comfortable. Loved the beachy colors too! The beach path is right outside the door and is just a short sandy stretch to the beach. Perfect for just the two of us.

The decor was the cutest and even though it was not on the beach it was not far to walk at all. The walk was even a pretty view! I would definitely stay here again! The cottage had everything a couple would need!

The porch to the bedroom is in bad need of repair. Railing very loose and nails sticking up on was great except for that. It made sleeping arrangements difficult with ac issue.

Quaint Cottage on the Shore

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: “Old Love” is a quaint cottage right on the beach. It truly is 99 steps (or 90 seconds!) because my children and I clocked it. The home has personality and is clean overall. I think it’s probably best for a couple due to its size. I stayed with my children and while there was enough bed space, it was snug.

Problems from day 1

When we arrived at the cottage, we loved the location, found it quaint and nicely decorated. Unfortunately, the wifi was not working. We called the property management company and a concierge came out the next day and confirmed the router wasn’t getting power. He sat up a Hot Spot, and planned to return the following day with another box. The hot spot did not provide great service and this was a working vacation for us, so my husband missed several meetings. The new box failed, too. We were told the hot spot would have to do till we vacated. Then, the AC went out. The management company was quick to offer a transfer to a “nicer home.” It was very hot, but we only had two nights left, so we did move. This was a huge inconvenience, and this beach bungalow was two steps up, the new home was 2 flights of stairs in extreme heat. It was miserable and took 1/2 a day dealing with this, 1/2 a day dealing with AC. Basically, a whole day of our 3 day/4 night vacation. The property manager said we would also get a discount, but so far, we have heard nothing from the owner. This cottage was one home from the beach, the “nicer home” was 2 blocks past Butler (three blocks from the beach).
