We just returned from a stay of several days at the Tybee Island Inn. The property itself is very charming and relaxed. Our room was clean and pretty, with very interesting pictures. Lisa was especially friendly and welcoming.

We were not however impressed with the breakfasts served, the website boasts of a "spa" where you can enjoy the surroundings under lit palm trees, this consisted of a non-working hot tub under the porch. I feel they need to remove this from their website.

Relaxing on the porch was great, but a foul mouthed next door neighbor speaking loudly on his cell phone sent me back to my room for peace and quiet.

The beach and park and lighthouse are a very short walk, Savannah a half hour pleasant drive. We did not find the nearby nursing homes to be a problem.

I had the pleasure of recently staying Tybee Island Inn. The inn is picturesque and very conveniently located on the island. Both Cathy & Lloyd went out of their to make us feel at home and the room was charming, spacious and comfortable. Beautiful inn, wonderful people and a great time. Thank you!

“Absolutely Perfect Wedding/Honeymoon”

Tybee Island Inn

Feb 6, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

When my (now) husband and I decided that we would elope for our wedding, we had no idea where. It was the second wedding for both of us and we knew we didn’t want any hassle. We finally decided on the Savannah area and getting married on the beach. Friends of ours had stayed at a B&B in Florida and highly recommended the experience. Of the 5-10 B&Bs in the Savannah area we e-mailed, Tybee Island Inn was one of three to respond.

From that first e-mail response everything was wonderful. Lloyd was warm and friendly. Every question was answered and we were assured that every detail would be taken care of. All we needed to do was show up with the marriage license! Since it was just going to be the two of us that sounded perfect. Perfect was exactly what we found! From the first moment we arrived everything was warm and wonderful. The board in front of the Inn had a welcome for each guest - a wonderfully personal touch. When we booked, Lloyd asked if we had looked at the rooms on the website and suggested the Savannah Beach Room. It was very nice! In the back of the Inn, adjacent the back porch, it was surprisingly private. Lloyd showed us to our room, showed us the homemade treats and told us about the Inn. He then quietly vanished and let us get settled. That was how the entire weekend went...Lloyd was there when you needed him and completely accessible by phone, but otherwise you felt like you were home and even with other guests, felt like you had the place to yourself.

The wedding was to be the next day so we talked to Lloyd about the details of the ceremony...basically anything we wanted! He had a book of all sorts of vows and readings and told us there was no rush to make decisions...just as long as we decided before the ceremony!

After an amazing breakfast the next morning, courtesy of Preston, we made our decisions and finalized the details of the ceremony with Lloyd. About that time we met Victoria, the housekeeper. Such a wonderful person! She is very energetic, upbeat and personable! We even ran into her later on the island!

After a relaxing day on the island we returned to get ready for the wedding. Nothing could have been more perfect. Lloyd had attended to every detail - the cake, the flowers, everything down to the tablecloth! The photographer, Ilona from Backriver Imaging (recommended by Lloyd) arrived and after a short walk to the beach, our ceremony was equally as perfect as everything up to that point had been. An amazing dinner at Elizabeth's on 37th in Savannah (Lloyd kindly made the reservations at our request) was the perfect end to a perfect day.

The rest of the stay was quiet and relaxing. Our photos, on CD, were delivered shortly after breakfast the next morning and we were able to view them immediately on the computer in the front room.

Obviously we can't say enough wonderful things about Lloyd and the staff. To say that the whole experience was perfect is absolutely an understatement. We booked our entire wedding without ever having seen the Inn or met the staff and we placed our trust in everything that was represented to us...we took a chance and were wonderfully rewarded. We will be spending our first anniversary back at the Inn. With such amazing memories, who could resist!
