Beach-Chic Apt. for Two - SLEEP NUMBER BED - Porch Rockers - Short Walk to Beach

UPSTAIRS / The tastefully-decorated newly-renovated, Tybee Time apartment has a complete kitchen with stainless appliances combined with the attractive living area that features a full sized sleeper sofa for a plus one. This bed is not suitable for anyone over 6'. Two barrel-shaped, comfortable red sitting chairs are made for relaxing, reading or watching television, which has DVD capabilities. The bedroom accommodates a queen size Sleep Number bed with adjustable firmness mattress. A spacious closet with shelves, suitcase stand and coat racks provide plenty of space for clothing and personal items. The screened porch has two comfortable red rocking chairs that are just right for a relaxing finish to your day in the sun. An energy efficient, ultra quiet Mitsubishi heat pump AC/heat unit offers plenty of heat during cold months and plenty of cold air conditioning in the summer. Ceiling fans inside and on the porch gently move the air as well.

This apartment is just right for a couple or a couple with a small child or two adults and a close friend who doesn't mind sleeping on the sleeper sofa. The downstairs apartment may also be rented to allow for plenty of room for family and friends.

On the south facing wall is an incredibly beautiful ocean life mural designed and painted by world renowned artist Mary Jane Volkmann who was assisted by owner Cathy J. Sakas. On the front of the cottage the sassy Octopus watches over her Lair.

Our nightly rates vary with the seasons and include a two-night minimum, plus hotel/motel taxes & fees (see rates). Discounted weekly and monthly rentals are also available.

Anniversary Weekend
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. We loved the short walk to the beach and into the town. The screened in porch was a plus, especially to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. The only negative issue was the guests that were supposed to move in downstairs apartment on Friday, were given our code for the lockbox. They tried to contact Cathy, but unfortunately were unable to. I spent about a half an hour trying to help them. They ended up leaving and had another rental already in the works. It was definitely an odd situation. Otherwise, everything was exactly as stated Cathy was wonderful and contacted us immediately when we reached out to her. We would definitely stay at this location again and would recommend it to family and friends.

Sometimes you just gotta dance in the rain
The room was fantastic and although it’s a fair walk from a lot of the restaurants, that just means it is a lot quieter at night and it allows you to just sit on the porch and relax (without pests bothering you because it’s screened in!). Unfortunately me and my spouse went during some nasty weather, but at least we were in an absolutely lovely place!

Amazing oasis getaway
The owner of this property is very sweet, connects with you and thorough. Great communication with any questions I had, the place was very clean, convenient to the beach ( a walk away). All pictures and descriptions are exactly that. The atmosphere was that of the beaches and ocean which added to the atmosphere for me of being on vacation. I really enjoyed a sleep number bed ~ smiles~. I am sure to come again, but for much longer next time, and this was my first of many to enjoy in the future.

Snared by the Lair
Online listing details spot on. Very clean, with eclectic decorations and comfortable furniture. Located on a "bike path" street with very little vehicular traffic. West facing screened porch was icing on a very colorful cake! Convenient to beaches, restaurants, and shops. Honestly, our departure came way too soon. We hope someday soon to return!

Perfect location, clean, quiet getaway!
We stayed five nights at the Octopus Lair and it did not disappoint! It was extremely clean and inviting and a great price! We had everything we needed for our beach vacation. The location was perfect! Almost everything we wanted to do was a bike ride away and renting bikes was easy and a really fun way to see the island. We got an Uber for the dolphin tour and to spend the day in Savannah, but other than that, we were able to walk or bike everywhere! We came home each evening to a quiet, clean place and slept like babies! Thanks for sharing this beautiful spot in the world!

Pre High Season Retreat
We enjoyed the location in dynamics to the downtown area and the beach and went for lots of walks. The firepit and the front screened in porch with a good view were very relaxing. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen appliances were newer and the free on site laundry room was definitely a blessing. Savanna was only 20 minutes away and was beautiful. You'll enjoy it.

Upgrade.
We really enjoyed our stay. It was close to the beach and to all the restaurants.. It is a clean environment ..The only issue we had. We would have liked to have a better living room experience.. the couch is very uncomfortable could not sit two people comfortable. I think a small chase lounge or a small sectional would work better for people to enjoy sitting next to each other.

Anniversary trip
We’d never really spent much time on Tybee, but we were pleasantly surprised. We found Cathy’s rental by chance and have since decided we will be going there often! It is in walking distance to almost everything that we wanted to do. Everything was sooo clean! The screened in porch was a major selling point as my husband and I love to sit on the porch and talk. The place is small, but sooo intimate and provides everything you could need. I think the kitchen is bigger than our own! We didn’t utilize it this time, but have plans for next time. Hands down, one of the best vacations we’ve ever had.
