frequently asked questions
Everyone loves to visit our little island! We've seen guests from all parts of the world stay with
us and experience all that we have to offer. Like every destination, our visitors have a few
questions about what our island is all about.
Q How far is Savannah from
31
Tybee Island?
Tybee Beach and Savannah Beach
are synonymous; we are the closest
beach to the city of Savannah! It is
a quick 20-minute drive, but it may
last a little longer during the peak
headaches on Saturdays, we highly
recommended enjoying lunch in
Savannah while waiting for the lanes
to clear.
Q What is the best place for
locally caught seafood on the
island?
Feast on "The Captain's Platter" at
The Crab Shack, for sure! Tybee
restaurants have an excellent
selection of fresh seafood that won't
disappoint!
Q How can I protect my trip with
Travel Insurance?
Tybee Vacation Rentals has
contracted with CSA Travel
Protection, now known as Generali
Global Assistance, to offer you
optional trip cancellation insurance.
We offer Standard Travel Insurance.
Q Where are the handicapped
accessible beach access
points and are beach-ready
wheelchairs available?
Mobi-mats are located at the North
Beach Mid Lot Crossover, Second
Ave. Crossover (East Gate), 16th
Street (Tybrisa) Crossover. Free
beach-ready wheelchair rentals are
basis at the lifeguard station (Ocean
Rescue) located behind the Pier.
Q Is biking and riding golf carts
common on the island?
The best way to experience Tybee
like a local is either on a bike or golf
cart. Don’t have one handy? Don’t
worry, both are rentable when you
get on the island.
Q We love our Vacation Home!
Can we book the same house
for next year?
Absolutely! We can’t wait to
welcome you back! Just call a
Vacation Planner to reserve the
same home next year. You can book
a year in advance, and we offer a
special Repeat Guest Savings for our
returning guests.
Q Where are the best places to
walk your dog on Tybee Island?
Dogs are welcome many places on
Tybee Island! So, grab Fido’s leash
and stroll along all our sidewalk
paved streets. You can also visit
restaurants like Sting Rays and Huc-
A-Poos. Just remember, our furry
pals aren’t allowed on the beach.
Q What are the dunes on the
island, and why are they
important?
The dunes are Federally protected,
as they are homes to our natural
wildlife, like our sea turtles! They
damage, in the event of a storm
surge.
Q What are the best activities for
kids?
Visiting the Tybee Marine Science
Center is both fun and educational
for the kiddos! Also, going on an
ecology tour with Dr. Joe, exploring
the Lighthouse, or venturing through
the Oatland Island Wildlife Center
will keep them interested and
occupied.
