Good to know
BEACHFRONT CONDO • OCEAN VIEW • 2 POOLS • ON-SITE RESTAURANT • SLEEPS 8 Welcome to Tybee Turtle Time Condo! Our 3-bedroom, 2-bath condo is located in Beachside Colony, Tybee's beachfront resort community, with the beach, two pools and The Deck restaurant and bar just steps away. Our guests love the location, the extras we provide and having so much right here without needing to get in the car. Check out our wonderful reviews! PERFECT FOR 2 OR UP TO 8 Don't let the three bedrooms fool you! We have lots of couples who book the condo just for themselves because they want the space, ocean view and resort amenities. If you'll only be using one bedroom and bathroom, ask me about a reduced cleaning fee. The condo sleeps up to 8: Primary bedroom: King bed, ensuite bath, walk-in closet, TV and direct access to the ocean-view balcony Bedroom 2: Queen bed, TV, closet, nightstand and luggage rack Bedroom 3: Two twin beds, TV, closet, nightstand and luggage rack Living room: Sleeper sofa A second full bathroom with a tub/shower serves the two guest bedrooms. INSIDE TYBEE TURTLE TIME Take the elevator or stairs up to the condo and make yourself at home. The hallway opens into a bright, open living, dining and kitchen area. The kitchen is fully stocked, and the living room has plenty of space for everyone to relax after a day on the beach. Families will find a Kid's Korner with books, games and puzzles. And yes, the Magic 8 Ball gets used by the adults too. My kids are in their 30s and still consult it on every visit! The primary bedroom and living room both open to the private balcony overlooking the Atlantic. There's a table with seating for four plus two additional chairs. It's one of my favorite places for morning coffee or an evening glass of... something a little more festive. The condo was refreshed in soothing ocean-blue tones to create the relaxed beach atmosphere I wanted when I purchased it in late 2023. THE BEACH + POOLS + THE DECK This is where our location really shines. Our entire condo complex is on the BEACH SIDE of Butler Avenue. You aren't crossing the main road and hauling all your beach gear several blocks to get to the ocean. Our stretch of beach is wide and typically less crowded than the area around the Pier. An easy ramp crosses the dunes, which makes taking beach carts and other wheeled items much easier. After the beach, choose between TWO resort-style pools. One is heated during the cooler spring and fall seasons, which is one of my favorite amenities! The pool area also has lounge chairs, restrooms, outdoor showers and water fountains. And maybe the best part? The Deck restaurant and bar is right downstairs. Grab lunch, dinner or drinks without leaving the property. After a long day of doing absolutely nothing on the beach, sometimes walking downstairs for dinner is about all the ambition you need. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION We're MID-ISLAND, which puts you right in the middle of Tybee. Walk south along the beach toward the Pier or north toward the Lighthouse. You're close to restaurants and attractions without being in the middle of the busiest Pier crowds. Directly across Butler Avenue is Tybee Island Memorial Park with a large playground, library and tennis courts. Locals also set up temporary pickleball nets when YMCA activities aren't using the courts, and the YMCA offers pickleball open play. ACCESSIBILITY The condo has elevator access and handicap parking. Our beach crossover has a ramp, and wheelchair-accessible beach entry is also available from Center Street. Beach wheelchairs can be reserved near the Pier. If accessibility is important for your trip, message me. I'm happy to send you a video showing what to expect. WE STOCK THE EXTRAS One thing you'll notice in our reviews is that we don't like leaving guests hanging when it comes to supplies. You'll find high-speed Wi-Fi, a fully stocked kitchen, beach chairs, beach towels, beach toys and plenty of basic condo and household supplies. The goal is simple: pack less, buy less when you arrive and spend more time enjoying Tybee. EARLY CHECK-IN / LATE CHECK-OUT I do my BEST to accommodate early check-in or late check-out whenever the reservation schedule allows. If another guest isn't checking out or arriving that same day and I can give you some extra beach time, I'm happy to do it. I do NOT charge an additional fee for this when I'm able to accommodate it.

Head south toward the Pier and restaurants or north toward the Lighthouse and North Beach. Better yet, stay right here and enjoy the wide stretch of beach directly in front of the property.

As a pickleball fan myself, I'm always happy to share what I know about local play! BEACH + POOLS + FOOD WITHOUT GETTING IN THE CAR This is one of the biggest reasons guests love staying here. The entire Beachside Colony complex is located on the BEACH SIDE of Butler Avenue. You won't need to cross Tybee's main road to reach the ocean. Spend the morning on the beach, cool off in one of the two pools, then grab food or drinks at The Deck restaurant and bar right on the property. Beach vacation mode: activated. You came to Tybee to relax. We've tried to provide the space, location and little extras that make it easier to do exactly that.
