Enjoy watching dolphins lead large container ships into the Savannah River as the ships make their way into the famous Savannah riverfront ports.

Hidden gem where dolphins frequent
We loved the calm and quiet of this North Tybee property. The beach was an easy boardwalk walk from the house, and the waves were very mild for our littles. We had every amenity necessary for a great beach trip with family.

Ideal Beach Getaway
We really enjoyed our time at the Sanctuary! Pros were location relative to the beach, plenty of bathrooms and space to spread out. Beds were very comfortable for a getaway and everything in the house was clearly labeled. Elevator to load in and out was invaluable - real bonus points for this! Cons: Bugs - I get that it's a southern island but spraying is not good enough, sticky traps or other mitigation should be used. There were large roaches (they said Palmetto bugs but those are roaches) and spiders in the house. This bothered certain guests in our group who are either highly allergic and/or afraid. Just be aware. Also the kitchen in terms of pans and other equipment was a little lacking. We ended up purchasing some cheap things and leaving them as we could barely get by. Also we only had 7 total in our group, house can sleep more but we were cooking on only two burners... it took a long time to prep meals that needed multiple pans. Just be aware as you plan your menus. Overall: We would stay again. The location and beach access can't be beat. At times we felt that we had a private beach for just us! The dolphin watching was so memorable and we were all quite comfortable having our own rooms and bathrooms. Parking and access to the home was easy and it's right on the tip of the island just over from the mainland which made access to Savannah and Tybee restaurants a breeze. Thank you for such a memorable trip! Truly one for the books!

Honeymooning with children
We were extremely pleased with the spacious rental home and were glad to be so close to the beach. The porches were great and the house was equipped with great electronics for a lot of various activities for the adult kids. Can’t wait to visit again!

Exceeded expectations!
The pics on the website do not do justice to the beauty and spaciousness of the property! We had a party of 10 and we all had separate areas and still felt comfortable:) The house was equipped with EVERYTHING and more! We loved the double balcony on the second and third floor. I wished there was a balcony from the main suite:( The proximity to the beach was ideal! We loved the semi-privacy and the cleanliness. The town is so quaint and we enjoyed the July 4th fireworks by the pier!!! Our family enjoyed bike rides & dolphin tours. Pizza from Hucapoos was great but the Crab Shack was a huge disappointment as far as taste:( The gators attraction passed the time while we waited. It rained only once while there and unfortunately was unable to visit Fort Puluski:(. But even that was a sight to see from our balcony as the storm went by:) Overall, our family had a marvelous time and would definitely be back! This was by far our favorite beach house rental experience!

Best Vacay Ever
Was fantastic, wicker furniture on second floor balcony a little fragile, time for new. Didnt know it was on river and not ocean but that was okay. Should issue permits to be able to take dogs to the beach. Didnt want to leave, we will be back!

Fantastic vacation - we will be back!
We absolutely loved our stay at this property on Tybee. Our 8th year trying different East Coast beaches and this was not only a fabulous beach and adorable town but the house was fully equipped for our family, super comfortable and clean, and easy walk to the beach, pizza, make your own pottery and coffee shop! Now can’t imagine going any where else for future beach weeks!

Will never stay at this home again.
Neighbor terrible.. Verbally attacked multiple times by neighbor in 4 Sanctuary Place for no reason. She obviously does not like the fact that it is a rental vacation home. Hot water stopped working on Sunday. Freezer was not turned on and we did not know. No ice. Many of the commode handles did not work. You had to pick up lid and try go flush. Tiny black bugs in bathrooms. Slippery tile on outdoor porches and patio. Vent fans(2) did not work. Very hot in bathrooms. Took 24 hours for refrigerator to cool down. 71 year old slipped in bathroom and possible broken shoulder. On way to ER in Alabama now.

1st trip to Tybee
we stumbled on to Tybee Island by pure chance while researching a vacation destination. We had never heard of it. Turned out to be just what we all needed. Quiet, peaceful days at the beach, which was only a 3 minute walk. The house was amazing and clean with plenty of room for everyone. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan on going back. I would recommend this house to anyone that loves the beach and dolphins. We saw them everyday, all day, sometimes within 30 feet of us. It was amazing! Great trip!
