“Beautiful gardens but too much for the room!”

Tybee Island Inn

Apr 2, 2008

Here's the good stuff: The gardens surrounding the Inn are beautiful and it is a short walk to the beach and other Tybee attractions. Breakfast at the Inn is very good - a spicy kielbasa one morning and to-die-for blueberry, cheese, and egg casserole the other. For the diet-conscious, they also have yogurt and some cereals. There are plenty of places to sit - both inside and out - for breakfast so whether you are a social butterfly or just want to be left alone, they've got you covered.

And the bad: The Mermaid Room is definitely not nice enough for the price. When we arrived, our room was incredibly musty and stuffy. We opened up the windows and would have left them open all night but the air conditioning unit outside of our window was too loud. Our pillowcases and comforter smelled musty as well. The bathroom was not very clean - hair in the sink and tub, toliet bowl had a very obvious ring, shower curtain was mildewed - and the door for the bathroom was still a closet door contrary to a prior report from management. Out on the porch, the first thing we laid eyes on was a plastic cup the someone had used for an ashtray. The cleaning people need a few lessons! The Mermaid Room is also right next to the dining area so everything that is said over breakfast is heard in your room. No sleeping in!

The bad outweighs the good for this Inn and we will not be going back.

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!
