Escape to 1 2nd Terrace – Your Vintage Tybee Island Retreat
Embark on a distinctive vacation experience at 1-2nd Terrace, a lovingly maintained and updated original Tybee Cottage. This one-of-a-kind retreat is a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom beachfront haven on Tybee Island, Georgia. This Tybee home is more than just a regular beach home, offering an unforgettable setting that captures the essence of vintage charm. Nestled in the mid-island of Tybee, the home is within walking distance of popular restaurants and shops.
Cozy vacation cottage with modern conveniences.
The story of 1 2nd Terrace begins as you step inside this two-story beauty. On the lower floor, you'll find the main living area, ample seating, and sliding doors leading to a covered porch – the perfect spot for shaded relaxation. The butcher block kitchen counters speak to the home’s past, but the fully appointed kitchen has been appropriately updated with modern conveniences. Past the kitchen is a convenient half bathroom and laundry room. Dining seating is offered at the kitchen counter and dining table.
Additionally, on the lower level of the home is a primary bedroom with a queen bed and an attached full bathroom with a walk-in shower.
A vintage Tybee Island experience.
Ascend to the upper floor, where three bedrooms await your relaxation. The top floor of the home has painted pine floors, reminding you of the commitment to maintain the cottage's historic roots. A spacious primary bedroom has a king bed, reading nook/workspace, attached full bathroom, and private balcony with panoramic ocean and beach views. A bedroom with two twin beds and a bedroom with a queen bed share the third full bathroom at 1 – 2nd Terrace. Each of the bedrooms has been furnished with vintage touches and modern amenities.
Unparalleled Views and Relaxation.
The top-floor balcony is the perfect spot to sunbathe, enjoy a quiet night under the star-filled sky, and watch twinkling lights from the ships anchored offshore. Right off the coast is the international shipping channel called "Tybee Roads," where the ships come from the Atlantic Ocean before heading down the Savannah River to port with cargo from all over the world. The unobstructed views from the top floor balcony allow you a spot like no other on Tybee Island to experience the relaxation of a sunrise over the Atlantic ocean.
The living room and all bedrooms have televisions with streaming options with either a Fire stick, Tubi or Live TV that can stream some channels through the app. There is not cable at this home only use of streaming services.
There is parking for three vehicles only.

This is the second year in row that we have stayed in this home. It was once again fantastic. The location on Tybee is great and it’s wonderful to be right on the beach.
This is wonderful to hear! It sounds like 1-2nd Terrace is the perfect house for your crew! This home have so much character and personality. Please come and stay for the 3rd time because we would love to have you!

Right on beach.. would have liked some shades in the windows on beach side for privacy. It’s an older cottage but plenty of room with 4 bedrooms for the 4 of us. It was very clean ..The outside doors need some maintenance. but.. all in all it was exactly what we wanted. We had a great time.5/25/2024 at 7:18 PMHi Janice! Thank you for your review of 1-2nd Terrace. I am so glad that you and your sisters had a great time here and were able to make lasting memories. This cottage is very sought after, an original vintage beachfront Cottage. We hope you and your sisters start this as a tradition and can come back and stay again next year.

This property was more than we even expected! It was clean and comfortable with all the amenities needed. The house is nicely furnished. Just steps to the beach. The online pictures don’t do it justice! Highly recommend.

By Lisa E from Fresco, CA, Posted: 07/14/2023Wonderful property! A perfect stay.
We (5 adults-Mom & kids with partners) had a fantastic time at this wonderful property. The house is great - comfortable, beautiful & perfectly situated. Steps to the beach and an easy bike ride anywhere on the island. We had bikes, chairs & beach cart delivered by Tim’s Rentals at the start of our trip and used them every day.
Hi Lisa! Thank you for your review and these wonderful words. We are overjoyed you guys had a perfect stay. 1-2nd Terrace is a house full of character and super comfy all while being directly oceanfront! We always suggest Tim's Beach Gear for bikes, beach chairs and beach cart especially because they deliver. So glad you guys used them and enjoyed the experience. We would love to have you stay with us again. Please come back again soon!

By Heather B from Florence, SC, Posted: 07/12/2023Loved it!
My two kids ( 21 and 19 ) loved the stay. The location and charm of the house was perfect. Would love to come back.
Thank you and we are so excited you noticed all of the charm in this original Tybee Cottage. It has so many features unique to older homes that are just so fun from the warm wood floors to the unique door handles inside the home. Please come back soon!!

By Anonymous U, Posted: 07/18/2021Favorite beach house of all time
This beach house is simply amazing. It is charming and well appointed. As far as the previous comment regarding ocean views, I have never seen a first floor beach home with a view of the beach. The dunes are protection for the house from the ocean. I looked at the description and no where does it say you can see the ocean from the first floor, so the description is not misleading. The master bedroom has an amazing handicapped accessible shower. I have stayed here once and frequent this page dreaming that I can go back again with my family! The two star review above is invalid based on false information.Thank you so much for your kind review. We are so happy that you had a lovely time on beautiful Tybee Island. We appreciate all of our guests and we hope that you come back and see us again real soon!! Enjoy the rest of your summer!

By Anonymous U, Posted: 06/25/2021Views/Access are misleading
My sisters and I took our 91 year old mother (she uses a walker and/or cane) to this house because of the description of the downstairs bedroom and bathroom and the view that was promised. The description of "no dunes between the house and the beach" and "you can from the covered porch directly to the beach" "views from the downstairs porch of the ships going to the Savannah River" made this sound like the perfect location for Mom. Reality: There are very tall manmade sand dunes that completely block the view from the downstairs deck. Since my mother could not make the climb to the second floor, so she was not able to see the ocean. What a disappointment! This is a great house for a mobile family but it did not deliver the views it promised.
By Rachel D from Alpharetta, GA, Posted: 09/07/2020Cozy, beachy dream house
This is not your typical souless condo or Ikea-laden rental house. It is a real family home, and you can feel it the minute you walk in. The kitchen is beautiful and fully equipped to make the most specialized dinners. The antiques in the house add charm and a sense of heritage. There are plenty of seats and beds for a large family to sleep comfortably and everyone have their own little corner. The placement right on the beach makes it so convenient. Our family is already planning to rent this jewel again and again.Hi Rachel! We are so excited you enjoyed your stay! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the location of this property for your stay! We hope you come back to visit 1-2nd Terrace again!

By Kerri J from Nashville, Posted: 10/29/2017Perfect
This the perfect place to stay with our family. It was so nice to be right on the beach and be able to come and go as we please. Everyone around us were so nice and friendly! The house was so much more than we expected plenty of room for three families. We will definitely be back to stay again.Hi Kerrie! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at 1-2nd Terrace! Come back again soon!
