About this property

#1111 2nd Ave - Absolutely Charming - A True Tybee Experience

Enjoy the charm of “eleven-eleven,” a modernized yet classic Tybee beach house. 

4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, plus an indoor dressing room/beach shower with hot water. 5 minute walk to the much-desired, residential mid-island 12th Street Beach and right around the corner from the island’s grocery store. Four short blocks to the Tybee Pier, restaurants and shops. 18 miles from Downtown Savannah. 

Being more centrally located, eleven-eleven isn’t far from anything.  Also not far from Tybee’s scenic “back river”: great for kayaking, A-J’s Dockside restaurant, and a fishing pier. You can do it all without having to use a vehicle, but biking is also recommended with the island’s bike trails. 

Eleven-eleven sits on 3 large lots, providing a feeling of privacy, plenty of space to park and a yard to enjoy outdoor activities and games, something you won’t find at a condo.
 
Originally built in 1940, the cottage has been remodeled, doubled in size and updated while keeping some of its vintage charm. Guests often comment that they feel relaxed and at home at eleven-eleven—and thankful that they passed up the typical cookie-cutter hotel or condo for a home away from home. 
 
The living room and wide sunporch area upstairs create a large L-shaped living area that easily seats a group of family and friends. The living area flows to one of the best spots in the house, the screened in porch complete with a swing, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or reading. Nearby you’ll find the Master bedroom and a window nook with a table and seating for three. The galley kitchen upstairs is fully stocked, has a lot of counter space and is complete with a sink on each end. This long kitchen area also boasts a half-bath, TV, and breakfast nook area that seats 2 on barstools. Preparing food for a group is made simple, and serving it is too. The adjacent dining area is complete with a custom-built table with chairs for 8 and a buffet.
 
The Master bedroom (upstairs) is furnished with a king bed, flat screen TV, DVD player, and daybed with trundle-perfect for young children. The master bath has his and her sinks and a walk-in shower. Downstairs, you’ll find 3 guest rooms, another full bathroom equipped with a walk-in shower and a full-size washer/dryer. Guest Room 1 has a king bed; Guest Room 2, a standard bed; and Guest Room 3, a queen bed. Guest Rooms 1 and 3 include flat screen TVs and DVD players. Guest Room 2 includes a media closet with books and DVDs. 
There is also a screened porch downstairs and the gated area under the house. Once used as a garage for a boat, you’ll now find an enclosed beach shower (great for not tracking sand inside), a gas grill and a trusty beach cart for wheeling your belongings with you to the ocean. This area can be locked to protect belongings too large to bring inside (e.g., chairs, kayaks, bicycles). 

At Eleven-Eleven we give you a warm welcome and invite you to experience living on ‘Tybee Time’, as the locals say. Kick back, relax and enjoy your getaway.

Just what we hoped for

If you like things that are trendy, new and disposable, this property is not for you. It is obvious that someone took time and lots of consideration when decorating and caring for this property. It seems like the kind of place where generations of a family have enjoyed rest and relaxation together. The house is an easy 3 block walk to the beach, and the local grocery store is also just a few blocks away.

This property is in a great location for walking to the ocean and the back river. Unfortunately, the amenities are not as described and upon entry, we quickly noticed the house was not clean. The closets were messy with crammed in blankets, luggage, and debris. The floors were gritty and everything was dusty. We notified management and they kindly offered to send someone to clean. But after hours on the road and feeling anxious to meet up with family we decided not to have the intrusion. The WiFi did not work until several days into our stay. But management created a hot spot for us. There were also multiple issues with the kitchen. We enjoy cooking dinner and other meals at rentals. But the kitchen has poor utensils and pots and pans to accomplish this. There are no knives that cut well and many pans have the worn out scratched up coating that is flaking off. The refrigerator is nice and big and works well. And the dishwasher worked well.

Great Beach Week

The accommodations were wonderful. We loved the sun porch, large kitchen, the decor. The layout of the house offers a lot of privacy. Only recommend- is to switch some of the beds to twins to offer more sleeping options.

Not what was expected

The location is great. However, the downstairs AC unit was broken upon arrival. We were notified and assured that it would be fixed by Monday. It was NOT. It did get fixed the night before we left to come home.. There were some circumstances that hindered the repair and we were offered only ONE night to stay at another location. No follow ups unless I CALLED , then put on hold for a long period of time. There were dirty dishes in the cabinets upon arrival and the silverware drawer. I was promised a refund on the cleaning fee. We will see… The dryer does NOT work. Yes, management was told. We love Tybee and will be back but definitely not with this group if we can help it. Really disappointed all around with our stay.

Great Property, Beautifully decorated. Grass needed to be cut when we arrived. Front door and porch entry could be spruced up a bit. No iron. Beach towels would have been a great touch since we came in by plane. Would love to go there again.

10 Year Adventure

Our granddaughter celebrated her 10th birthday in the fall of 2023 and her parents wanted to celebrate with what they call a 10 year adventure. This meant she could choose a vacation location. She wanted to go to the beach and Tybee Island was chosen by the family. Our home away from home was unique and fun. Close to the beach, shopping and restaurants. Some items that were listed for the home weren’t available like a beach cart and the outside shower was actually a water hose (just a twist on words but definitely not an inconvenience). If we plan another trip to Tybee Island we would look at staying on the same property.

Could have been cleaner

The location was good, only a few blocks from the beach I placed a coaster on an end table only to notice the table hadn’t been dusted in sometime. Looking out of a front window, dead bugs and spider webs. Garbage in the bedroom I used had not been removed and there were corroded batteries in the remote. Aside from the cleaning issues the house was adequate for 5 adults and 2 small children.

Pots & Pans

Overall, our stay was pleasant. The spaciousness of the home was a highlight! However, we encountered some challenges with the kitchen amenities. The pots, pans, and sheet pans could use an upgrade as they were not very functional(sheet pans do not fit in the oven). Additionally, we noticed issues with the oven coils; they seemed uneven, and the front right one was not functioning properly. Despite these minor inconveniences, we appreciated the vintage charm of the house.

Very Nice Stay

Enjoyed ourselves very much. I recommend reading EVERYTHING the owner is kind enough to have available. Had we did this the first day, we would not have rented chairs etc. Very clean and has pretty much anything you would need. Reminded me of a true island get away from long ago. Nice trip.

Lovely older Tybee Beach house

We have been vacationing on Tybee for 37 years and have seen this property many times on our morning walks. We were excited to be staying there this time. It has a lot of space, a huge kitchen, two wonderful screened porches and is an easy walk to the beach. It was well supplied and even had some beach chairs and a beach cart that we used. We had a wonderful stay (5 adults and 3 children). The only negative is the 60+ years of the owners collected stuff that was everywhere. That certainly did not dampen our enjoyment of the Island, but it really should be cleaned out a bit.

Great location and good for cooking

We stayed for 9 nights with a group of 7, including 3 kids (aged 2-13). The location is perfect. Just a short 2 block walk to the beach, and far enough from the pier to avoid weekend crowds. The included cart was perfect for hauling stuff, in addition to our own wagon. The kitchen has what you need to cook, but no frills. Bring your own knives, which is true of every rental. The house is old and has quirks, but nothing that reduced our vacation fun. It's both good and bad for kids. There are a lot of decorations that seem like they would break easily, so we worried about causing destruction. But there's also tons of toys. And the toys are in drawers and cabinets all over the house, so the kids were constantly discovering something new to divert their attention. The only major draw back is that there is no outdoor shower. The shower under the house has not been kept up and we didn't step foot in it after looking at it on day 1.

Tybee is a Great Place for vacay

Me and my family had an awesome time. I was very spacious, clean and great location. The neighbors are extremely friendly by the time we left they new my grandchildren's names. The shortwalk to the beach with the grandchildren was really fun it was just a few steps away. The house provided us with chairs, wagon and sand toys for the beach. Overall I have no complaints and I will visit again soon.

Unknown visit while away

On our first day in rental, we returned from a late lunch, and found someone exiting our rental, in which we had all of our belongings. We were made aware, he was from property management company, there to repair a towel rod. There was no notification from rental agency of this visit. We received an in person visit from rental property management personnel, and we’re told the rental agreement gave them permission to enter property at any time, obviously without any notification. Be careful what you agree to!!!

Host profile image
(Photo-I was 2 years old...Old Tybee Pier-1939)

The first time I came to Tybee I was an infant in my mother’s arms. She brought me back again and again. I have always loved this little island.

My roots go DEEP with this cottage. Over 50 years ago, I was proposed to in this house. Our first born child took her first steps here. I brought our 2 children to Tybee every summer until they were out of high school.

Oh, what precious memories we have.

My children and now their children love Tybee. It is in their blood. This house is so special to all of us.

Why they chose this property

This home was originally purchased by my husband’s mother. She and 2 friends bought it together.

My husband later bought out the other owners.

Later we remodeled and more than doubled the size.

It was not in the plans to rent it. High taxes and the expense of having it sit empty so many weeks out of the year changed that.
This is NOT 'rental property'....it is our personal beach house that we are renting. There is a huge difference in that.

I live 75 miles from Tybee. That is wonderful for staying at the house, but not good for managing a rental. You will like our management team.
This is a new listing. It is our personal beach home. (Dec. 2011)

What makes this property unique

You will not feel like you are in a rental unit! This home feels like you are somewhere special with nice things all around. You will love it!
There are lots of houses for rent that sleep a large number of people...BUT!! You will not find a dining room table that will seat them all at once. Families making memories should eat together! That is part of the memories of a wonderful beach vacation. Priceless.

We also have plenty of parking room.

The house is spacious....room for everyone. But most of all, it is a comfortable house. Every chair and sofa is comfortable. The feel of the house is relaxing.

The location of this house is wonderful! This is a mid-island area. Nice and quiet. The Tybee Bike Trail runs by our house. This street is perfect for jogging, riding a bike, or pushing a baby stroller. And of course, there is 12th Street Beach! It is one of the most desired beaches on the island.

The house sits on 3 lots, so there is a lot of room on the side lot for parking cars and playing fun yard things. You don't feel like the neighbors are right outside your windows.

The house is arranged so people in the living areas do not disturb folks in the bedrooms.

And most of all, there is that wonderful ‘feeling’ you have when you are in the house. It is hard to explain, but the cottage has such a comfortable-totally-laid-back feeling. That is rare.
