My Beach House

Original 1910’s beach cottage

THE authentic Tybee experience

Mid-island beach house with private pool and hot tub

My Beach House

My Beach House sits underneath an enormous old Tybee live oak tree. Palm trees surround you. You will truly experience old Tybee. Many items and furniture are original to the house or acquired from Old Tybee Beach Houses before their demise. Extensive library gathered for your reading pleasure. Enjoy!

  • MID-ISLAND LOCATION! ** All GROUND LEVEL, NO STEPS!
  • PRIVATE Heated swimming pool, hot tub, and infrared sauna! Outdoor shower with a small separate bench and changing room inside.
  • Original 1910 Tybee beach house. All ground level. Easy walk (1 blk) to beach w/ RoleezCart, chairs, beachgear for your use

City of Tybee license 01115 since 2001.

Guest Access

You will have complete access to all of the ground level areas. There is an upstairs but it will never be occupied when guests are occupying the downstairs. Upstairs is just for family and they are not allowed to visit if I have vacation rental guests.

Other things to note

Please know that this is a wonderful old beach house. That is it's charm and why we all love this rare gem.

Also, while my goal is to have you arrive to a sparkling clean pool and pool deck I will make every effort to make your pool and pool deck clear of leaves and sticks. Many times there are pop up storms that are quite strong and cause the wonderful oak and palms trees around you to lose some of their leaves into the pool. While I do have a professional weekly (and more if required) pool company service your pool there may be times debris falling into the pool is just unavoidable. Mother nature does not always love us. Please know that I will make every effort to get the yard care service and pool cleaner there as soon as possible. I do try to keep it clean at all times but you just never know when there will be a coastal pop up storm. I hope you understand and I completely understand if you choose not to stay at My Beach House because I can not guarantee your pool and deck will be adorably clean when you arrive. I do strive for that to happen though. 1 Full bath inside, 2nd bath=toilette and sink in pool shed and a private outdoor shower w/hot water.

Location on Tybee Island

Love, love, love the outdoor shower!

April 11, 2024

A beautiful, unique gem walking distance to a beautiful beach! We loved staying at this home. We walked to the beach every single day! It’s less populated than the stretch of beach adjacent to the pier. There’s a grocery store 7 minutes (walk) away, and restaurants are about a 12-15 minute walk away. My kids swam in the heated pool every afternoon/evening after the beach and it was such a nice luxury!! Love love the outdoor shower (we fought over it) and the poolside bathroom with sauna! Lauren texted proactively about weather and a water outage (didn’t impact our stay, but was very thoughtful). Our beds were comfy and our showers were hot!

Everything you imagine in a beach house

April 2, 2024

The cottage was everything you imagine about a coastal beach house. The eclectic charm, the amenities, and the location were a dream. We started our mornings on the screened in porch, walked to restaurants along the beach, and ended our evenings by the pool. The cottage had everything we needed for the most perfect family vacation.

Best Airbnb I have experienced so far

September 29, 2021

Lauren’s on the beach is the best Airbnb I have experienced so far. This host had everything you needed to start your island trip. She was very responsive and infinitive. She had info about the whole area. Beach, restaurants, bars, excursions. The condo was extremely clean and had a great beach theme. I would recommend to everyone to stay here. Dolphins in the morning, unbelievable sun rise while having coffee on the deck. Lauren is the perfect example of what a Airbnb host should be. I will be returning and looking for any property hosted by Lauren.

Everything my soul needed

March 17, 2021

I stayed here for just about a month and it was everything my soul needed. I read a bunch of the previous reviews before booking and to prep what I needed to pack. I brought my own soap – although she did have nice hand washing soap out – and any other things that were important to me. I didn’t pick this place for the trash bags or the location of the silverware. I picked it because of how the energy felt to my soul. This place was EXACTLY what I needed for my month in Tybee. It is RIGHT on the beach and so cozy. The location is quiet and gentle and felt very safe even taking my dog for a walk at 10pm. The master bed was very comfortable and the bedroom felt relaxing and restful. The window overlooking the ocean by the bed is wonderful and the room…

March 5, 2020

I’ll point out the obvious, Lauren is extremely accommodating and courteous. She genuinely cares about your stay and wants to make sure you enjoy it. The interior space is adorable and cute, full of flamingos and vintage appearing pieces. The townhome it self is older, so expect the charm and character that comes with older homes (especially those built around the beach). The beach is of course amazing, it’s clean and quiet, and viewing it first thing in the morning during sun rise is just amazing.

What a wonderful place – truly such a pleasure to stay at Ocean Villa!

November 29, 2019

Relaxing retreat – a wonderful step back in time on Tybee! Over the past several years, we have stayed at over 10 properties on Tybee and this one is, by far, our favorite. From the moment my son and I entered, we were charmed by the whole happy kitsch ambience – welcoming, but not too over the top. The decor, and over all feel of this house, is truly like a trip back to the 1940s, BUT with all of the modern conveniences of today. The linens on the bed felt decadent, with the fluffy mattress toppers and vintage covers. Television (never turned it on!) games and books, too! The kitchen is no frills, but has everything you could possibly need. The retro feel even extends to the patterned, blue linoleum floor – perfect! The house was immaculate and well equipped with everything that could make our stay comfortable. This…

September 17, 2019

I was pleasantly surprised by this condo. It was clean, large, and right on the ocean. You couldn’t beat the location. The games and puzzles kept my kids occupied during the rainy times. The condo was well provisioned and Lauren even sweetly came over early one morning to drop off plastic wrap & tin foil when I asked where it was. She is a very accommodating host. I recommend renting a golf cart for the day too – very fun. Clean uncrowded beach.

I would go back in a heartbeat!

May 8, 2018

Ten of us stayed at Lauren’s house for my bachelorette trip and we LOVED it. The decoration style was so cute and charming and there was so much space for us all to hang out. Everyone got their own bed, and every bed is so comfortable! There were plenty of towels, blankets, and sheets for all of us, and the house was also stocked with toilet paper and paper towels enough for a day or two even for ten people. The beach is a straight shot 2-block walk which was amazing. The backyard and the front screened porch were our two favorite places to hang out. Having the new third bathroom in the bunk house was a wonderful surprise. I would go back in a heartbeat!

We booked this house for a 30th birthday surprise. We had 16 adults – and it slept us all comfortably. We had a great time – close walk to the restaurants & the beach! I lost my wedding ring at the house and didn’t realize until I had returned home. Lauren (the property manager) – searched under the beds, in the sheets, etc – finally she had the cleaners cut open their vacuum bags and they found it!!!! I was (AM) so grateful for the kindness she showed me and the effort she took to find my ring. Would definitely recommend this place!!
