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!
Free parking on-site for 2 vehicles. EV charger! Ask about our golf cart rental. Subject to availability.
RATE depends on dates. Ask for last minute and off peak rates. Late arrival guaranteed.
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.

Love, love, love the outdoor shower!
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!
View guestbook entryEverything you imagine in a beach house
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.

Lauren was wonderful. The view from the deck was lovely. We enjoyed walking the beach and spending time in the lovely home. Lauren anticipated our every need the home was exceptional well stocked. We travel a lot and usually find an array of old used and useless pots and pans. We loved the quality cookware. Thank you.

View guestbook entryBest Airbnb I have experienced so far
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.
View guestbook entryEverything my soul needed
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…
View guestbook entryHost is extremely accommodating and courteous
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.
View guestbook entryWhat a wonderful place – truly such a pleasure to stay at Ocean Villa!
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…

Date of Stay July 7, 2009 MY OCEAN VILLA We enjoyed our week here at Tybee Island. What a 4th of July fireworks show extravaganza. We were all so happy not to be in the traffic jam afterwards that lasted over 2 1/2 hours. The waves were great for the boogie boards but if you fell you were in for a quick drowning and need help to get your balance. Had some small thunderstorms but overall great week. Thank you for sharing. Brin and Renee FredrickOkTry Stingrays!

We had the pleasure of sending our daughter to be married out of this house.She picked it because of the wonderful decor and word of mouth “niceness” about it.All the bridesmaids looked grand in their ocean blue dresses,,, and my daughter was stunning in her white gown as she came down the stairs and then onto the beach for a morning wedding. We were glad the wonderful flamingo filled – colorful house could be a part of our family’s very special day.Laura Pace

Lauren, We absolutely had a fabulous stay. The house was wonderful and in a perfect location. Our dogs loved the back yard. We sat back there several evenings grilling and watching them having the time of their lives. We are definitely planning another trip to Tybee Island. And, of course, we will be staying with you again. Thanks again for everything. Janet and Ernie Hudson

We absolutely loved My Seaside. Beautiful house and SO close to the beach. My wife could easily get to the beach with our 3 and 1 year old kids, who had a blast. EVERYTHING that we could possibly needed for fun family vacation was already there at the house, tons of beach toys, comfy beach chairs, even a beach cart and umbrella. Just pack your swim suit and some burgers to cook on either of the 2 grills provided (1 Charcoal and 1 Gas). Thanks Lauren for such a wonderful, resting, vacation on Tybee Island. -Matt Nashville, TN

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.
