The property is lovely with a great view of the river from the porch, even better on the dock. The only things we really needed was a working ice maker or ice trays in the freezer and blankets. There was only one blanket in the entire house that I could find. The room configuration is a little misleading, one of the bedrooms is on the bottom level, it is very dark and musty down there and I am not sure I would enjoy staying in the lowest level. There was also a sleeping area upstairs, but it is an "open" space and could be used as additional place to sleep or another common area for kids to hang out in. Overall, I would highly recommend the house, we loved staying there even if it was just the two of us. The house is a historical gem and the owners are so kind. I would love to come visit the area again.

AMAZING back river home

Our family of 7 came for a week after baseball in Atlanta. Tybee is so great! Cute town. We loved the house...interesting history, beautiful decor, lots of space. Our boys fished daily and had great success! They caught flounder daily and I cooked it up! The girls took the golf cart we rented to the beach and got coffee (Sand Cat and Tybean) It was the best stay!!!!

Great Sibling trip

We had the best time during our stay! The house was so charming! We loved the back dock area where the dolphins came by daily. It was one of the highlights of our trip. The communication with the managers of this house was wonderful. The location was excellent close to restaurants and the beach. We loved the laid back vibe. We will be back next year.

Beautiful views from the back porch and dock. Super comfortable house, nicely decorated and furnished (though a bit light on essentials in the kitchen). Very comfortable - we had a great stay - will be back for sure.

Beautiful sunsets

There were 5 of us, myself and my 2 sisters and their husbands. The first thing you saw when you walked in was the beautiful back river water and dock. You could see this whenever in kitchen, dining room and living room. The rooms were all adequate and comfortable. We spent a lot of time sitting on the rocking chairs on the porch enjoying the water. We loved the dock, part of which is covered and had couches and rocking chairs. One of my sisters and I spent a lot of time reading there. We rented a golf cart which made it easy to get Tybee and not have to worry about parking. We grew up on Tybee in the 50's and 60's. We have been coming back for vacations quite frequently for the last 15 years. We will definitely be back.

Awesome location, great family home

Lovely decorated beach home that was just what my family needed. Lots of fishing opportunities to fish on the private dock. Super quick drive to the beach, or a nice leisurely walk if weather permits. Great location and neighborhood! Super communication from home management. We all loved our stay.

Tybee Island Vacation

The dock and the pavilion were a big hit as most of our time was spent there. We were without internet and tv the entire stay although the cable company set up repair dates and for some reason or another never came. T

This property is the total package!

We spent a long weekend at Beach Music for my mother's 75th birthday and everyone had a wonderful time. There was something for everyone, including board games, TVs and a ping pong table for the kids. The adults enjoyed the well-appointed porches with stunning views and everyone found the home to be equipped with everything we could need to cook, eat and celebrate. We can't wait to go back to this wonderful property!

Beach music a delightful respite in Tybee

Lovely old home - high ceilings, covered porches great location and charm. Walk to beach - sit on the dock and enjoy the island Cleanlinesss could have been better - the sink on the dock was filled with trash from the last guests and there were some aggressive birds on the dock. Overall a lovely experience. I would recommend and use this rental again …..it’s delightful.

Always Perfection

My family and I have stayed at Beach Music several times over the years. We always enjoy the stay. The rooms are comfortable and the location is fantastic. The private dock is a highlight on days with good weather, and we enjoy the living area and dining rooms for games, movies, and reading when we stay in. Always easy and always the perfect place to settle in and relax on the island. We highly recommend Beach Music for anyone traveling to the area!

Loved the house and view!

This was our first time to Tybee Island. We loved this house! It was clean, beautiful and had everything we needed! We spent most of our time on the porch facing the water or on the screened porch playing games. We hoped beach chairs were provided, but we were able to rent brand new chairs from Tim's ($5 per day). We thought the island itself was run down and we were surprised how many people smoked (even indoors). We liked the short drive to Savannah and spent two days exploring the city.

Peaceful spot

The location of the house was perfect for a winter stay. Being on the water, with the dock, made all the difference. Beach easy to reach with light winter parking and within walking distance if not brining anything. Looks like the town and beaches would be very crowded and busy in season. Kitchen had enough supplies to cook meals but minimal dishwasher soap, laundry soap, paper towels and one hand towel to serve too many purposes.
