The Wonders of Back River Beach House

Back River Beach House is uniquely located to enhance your enjoyment of the landscape. Unlike many vacation rentals Tybee Island GA, this home is tucked away on the Tybee Creek side of the island’s southern peninsula. Still within a short walk of South Beach and the Tybee Island Pier and Pavillion, this accommodation offers a cool, quiet respite after a busy day on the strand.

When you walk in the garden-level front door, a cool foyer with a hall table emits a sense of calm and welcome. A large garage offers convenient indoor parking, and an open staircase provides access to the main floors above.

The bright, cozy living room draws you in with comfortable furnishings in a sea-blue and warm sand color scheme. Plenty of throw pillows on the sofa invite you to sink in while matching overstuffed armchairs encourage conversation. Large windows add a sense of expanse. The private elevator provides quick access to this upper floor, making it so much easier to get settled in.

The dining area and kitchen await just beyond the open archway. A formal dining set offers elegant seating for eight beneath a sparkling chandelier. Large windows keep the space crisp and bright, and a sliding door leads outside to balcony seating, great for sharing a cold beverage and afternoon snack. A flat-screen TV in the adjacent lounge keeps everyone entertained.

The Cape Cod-style kitchen features a full roster of stainless-steel appliances. The range features double ovens and a microwave above to answer all your cooking needs during your vacation rentals Tybee Island GA stay. A large fridge-freezer is great for cold drinks, fresh produce from local stores and doggie bags from your favorite restaurants.

The beadboard cupboards hold glasses, tableware, cookware and utensils for fitting out those family-style dinners you will enjoy so much. A countertop coffee maker and toaster minimize morning fuss, while a raised breakfast bar with stool seating provides a place to perch while you make plans for the day.

The first bedroom boasts gleaming hardwood floors, a king-sized bed, matching night tables with beachy wicker reading lamps and a chest of drawers and walk in closet for your clothes. A comfy armchair provides a place to wind down. A ceiling fan helps you regulate the temperature to your liking. Sliding doors open to the balcony, where you can drink in the sea air and listen to the neighborhood wake.

The en suite bathroom pampers you with a large tub, glass-doored step-in shower and his-and-her sinks. We supply a generous stockpile of towels in each of the three full bathrooms.

The second bedroom also features a roomy king-sized bed, lamps and nightstands. Bedroom three offers a queen-sized bed, and is decorated in restful tones of blue. A nearby bath off the hallway offers a tub/shower combination plus a wealth of counterspace where you can set out your makeup and/or shaving kit.

A duo of twin beds in the fourth bedroom accommodates the kids or singles in you travel group. Leafy views beyond the large window make this a cozy nest for restful nights. The sparkling third bathroom has a tub/shower.

Like many of our Tybee vacation rentals, Back River Beach features a washer-dryer, central heating and A/C, Wi-Fi and extra blankets. Don’t overlook exclusive pool access for refreshing breaks, exercise and the chance to meet other Tybee Island vacation homes guests.

What is the Back River?

Back River Beach is one of Tybee Island’s best-kept secrets. Located where Highway 80 ends on the southern tip of the island, Back River is beyond the beaten path, but it is well worth getting there.

Back River Beach overlooks the natural wetlands around Tybee Creek and Little Tybee Island. It also has a great view to the west, so you will enjoy some world-class sunsets, some say the best on the island.

Not only are the views spectacular, but the beach itself is incredible. Long, flat stretches of sand border the gentle waves of the sheltered inlet, making it an ideal place to paddle board or kayak. Also, due to its relatively calm waters, Back River Beach is a favorite with the local dolphins, and you are likely to see a pod at play just off the shoreline. Want to catch some waves during your stay? Take a stroll about a half mile to the beach!

The Fisherman’s Walk Pier, a mainstay of Back River Beach, is a popular draw for anglers, and the restaurants you’ll find there serve up some of the freshest seafood in the South. A.J.’s Dockside and The Crab Shack are two of the well-loved dining destinations for locals and visitors alike.

Tap into Tybee Island’s untold story with a wonderful getaway at Back River Beach. Call to reserve your dates today because Tybee vacation homes like this one go quickly.

Everything was wonderful from booking to checkout! The SB team was very communicative about every aspect of our stay. There was an issue with our AC unit and the team let us know before check in and it was resolved by the time we were done with dinner. We will be back next year and hope this place is available!

Lovely home, perfect for families

Reviewed on 2024-08-12 by Celeste

Overall

We stayed at the Back River Beach House with another family and had the best time. I loved that there were baby gates at each staircase to keep our toddlers from wandering too far. The house had all the amenities we needed with lots of bath towels and paper products. My daughter loved the novelty of an elevator in a house and wanted to ride it every chance she could. Aside from the normal little stains on the rugs and couches which are normal for rental homes, everything was exceptionally clean. We really enjoyed staying here and the location was wonderful as well.

Beautiful home. Spotless, lovely/tasteful decor, well stocked kitchen, comfy beds and furniture, great family/living room area, good location, nice decks. The elevator is a plus for anyone who has mobility issues as there are a lot of steps to get up to the kitchen and living space. We have rented many homes for stays at beaches and elsewhere. This unit was, by far, our favorite rental!!

The house was clean, comfortable and attractive. Everything worked, and was of good quality. Easy walk to a number of restaurants and shops. About a 10 minute walk to an ocean beach,and the Back River beach is just at the end of the block. Quiet neighborhood. It was a great choice for us: 6 adults and 1 toddler.

This was our first trip to Tybee Island and we will definitely be back. Excellent communications with Southern Belle and fast responding. Easy check in/check out. The house was amazing with Spacious bedrooms, large kitchen, and the elevator was great for our handicap guests. The Back River was right around the corner and the beach on the South End was not crowded. The pool for guest was nice and clean with plenty of chairs to lounge. Looking forward to staying at Back River Beach House next summer.

Perfect Tybee home for family or small groups.

Recent stay at Back River beach house

Overall

Beautiful house in great location made our vacation with multiple generations a wonderful experience! Father with mobility issues was able to use elevator to get between floors easily. Bedrooms were roomy and bathrooms on each level made getting ready a breeze. Off street parking available saved on fees. The house was completely stocked with cookware, dishes, and even spices, bath soaps, lotions. Kids and adults loved the mini corn hole game! We appreciated the text during the week to check how stay was going. Thank you for opening the home to us. We hope to stay here again.

Everything about the Back River Beach House was awesome. It is ideally located so you can walk to many restaurants and beach areas. The kitchen has all the “tools” you will need to prepare meals at home as well. Overall, a great long weekend and our family all enjoyed the house and Tybee. Looking forward to another visit in the future.

Spectacular sunsets from the most beautiful home

Reviewed on 2021-11-27 by Megan

Overall

Our family got together for a week over Thanksgiving to unwind at this lovely home on Tybee Island. Plenty of room for kids and grandparents to cozy up together or find a quiet place to read. Loved the porch for game night and watching the sunset. The steps could be a workout for some, but we very much appreciated the elevator for the grandparents and the added peace of mind provided by the retractable baby gates for the toddler. Overall, the home was very nicely decorated, clean and spacious. Beds were extra comfy. We will definitely come back again!
