Other wonderful attractions you must visit include Tybee Beach Pier And Pavilion, Tybee Island Light Station & Museum, and Fort Pulaski National Monument.

Weekend getaway
This studio was great for being within walking distance to all the shops, restaurants, and the beach! If you are looking for a place to relax in between all your Tybee activities this is a great spot. The porch is the perfect place to relax and cool off after a day at the beach!

The location is exceptional if you enjoy the pier and main attractions like restaurants. On the other hand, it is so noisy which is no fault of the property. The room is perfect for 1-2 people travelling minimally. The room is equipped with a nicely sized refrigerator and clean microwave. It includes paper towels and cleaning supplies for dishes. Some upgrades have definitely been made since the last reviews. The bed is comfortable and there are outlets to plug in items. What I didn't like: there is NO water pressure at all, one of the main outlets has a broken piece of metal sticking out of it, the bar next door has an outdoor patio that sounds like it's in the room with you. I'm sure it's hard to manage as this is a residential location too, but there are roaches.

Short trip to beach

Good location, terrible room
The “queen bed” is a futon, and a lumpy one at that. The a/c unit has so much mold inside it is likely the next site where they film The Last of Us, not to mention half of it was gone on the outside and it would not get below 77f. Location is great, except for the dude on his motorcycle blasting Ricky Martin at 2am that didn’t want to leave, but we figured it would be noisy being in town. Would be great if they just put a real bed in there and replaced the a/c unit with one from this decade at least.

Great location
I really like the location of the place restaurant close by beach 2 min away couldn’t ask for a better location with everything around rental bikes and shops to only reason why I’m not giving it 5 stars is the bed just needs to be upgraded and the shower head but other than that I’ll be coming back for sure had the best time there thanks a lot for having me

Quaint charming simplicity
This old boarding house is charming. Cozy quarters so close to the beach perfect for a couple! We could hear street noise from bar goers late at night, but we didn't mind.

Don’t stay there!
First, Tybee Island was very enjoyable. Secondly, I very rarely give a negative review. That said, this property should not be listed on VRBO. The listing on VRBO ( I’m sure provided by VACASA) was very misleading. The property CARBO HOUSE is in fact a boarding house. The listing on VRBO is unpacked on the VACASA info received just before our visit. While the VRBO listing showed great reviews for this property, the VACASA listing showed no reviews. I took pictures if you would like them. Someone should visit this property unannounced, check it out and visit Room 13. Now, the room was clean & had plentiful towels. We stayed there and enjoyed Tybee; I suspect many of your clientele likely would not. Enough said. Thank you for the great service you provide. This, I’m sure, is a rare exception. Rick Bealer
