Tybrisa At the Beach

Watching the sun come up from the balcony with loved ones. Walking the beach. Having a $7.50 ice cream cone on the pier with one of my oldest married friends. Uno flip, Irish poker, and Farkle late into the evening. Grilling beachside. This resort is strategically located and a wonderful place to stay.

This is an older resort, but it is well maintained and clean. It is on the beach, close to shops and restaurants. The personnel are friendly and very helpful. We really appreciated their recommendations including local favorites.

Tybrisa is a very nice beach resort. Beautiful views. Convenient location, could walk to several restaurants. Easy drive to Savannah. We were pleased with everything Tybrisa and the area had to offer. Thank you Tybrisa for a wonderful and relaxing week.

The end of October is the perfect time to go. The weather is amazing. The people are super friendly. Low traffic. Walk everywhere.

I stay here every year from Christmas till New Year's.. polar plunge Fireworks over the ocean.. October for piret fest..I love It ..

The management has many upgrades this year! It was nice to arrive to new flooring, new showers in both bedrooms, new coffee and end tables in the living room, and completely new cookware! Check-in and check-out are a breeze. They were so nice to let us know we left some things in our room very quickly, and we were able to return to retrieve them. That's service! And of course, the view of the pavilion and pier can't be beat. Walking to the nearby shops is super convenient.

Wonderful Vacation, Nightmare Drive||Tybrisa at the Beach is one of our all-time favorite resorts. Each apartment is a two-bedroom, two bath unit with full kitchen and sitting room, and a balcony overlooking the beach and Atlantic Ocean. A hotel down the street boasts that it is “The only Tybee Island beachfront hotel.” So I guess that Tybrisa is a resort instead of a hotel, since it is right on the beach. One bedroom has twin beds, the master bedroom has a full or larger bed. One bath has a tub, the other has a walk-in shower. My only complaint here is the placement of the toilet paper roller is a bit awkward, but we usually take a couple of rolls of our favorite TP and place them within reach. However, the complementary soap and shampoo smell better than any other place we’ve stayed. The staff has always been wonderful, and the resort has gated on-site parking, half of it under the apartments on the ground floor. All street parking in Tybee Island is pay-as-you-go. Several of the best restaurants On Tybee Island are within short walking distance of the resort. The location is fantastic, and I’ve taken hundreds of sunrise photos from my balcony.||Now the bad news. The fantastic location setbacks. Sand and grit infiltrate everywhere! You cannot sweep or mop enough to keep the floors from feeling gritty. I told my wife that I was bringing my leaf-blower next time. We were there during Helene, and we found blown sand in our window grooves, covering our balcony, and even inside our car. The sea-side location also creates more wear on the building itself, and maintenance hasn’t quite kept pace. The Wi-Fi was damaged some time back, and very poor our last two visits. However, it was fine this time until Hellene came through. Then the island had TWO tornado warning, with more targeting inland Georgia. The power went off after midnight, sowe had two days with no AC, no TV, no hot water, no lights, no fridge, no stove, and no coffee for my caffeine-powered wife. So we read by daylight, slept at dark, and cooked on the outdoor grills. We debated leaving early, but Hellene would be right over the route to our home. We had friends watching our livestock, and we’d had this vacation scheduled for a year. It was a good decision. The ride home was mostly sunny. Some places along the route had electricity, and the roads were clear and dry – until they weren’t.||The horrible part: The 7 hour trip home took almost 19 hours thanks to Hellene.

Tybrisa's location is wonderful. You walk right off the property and are in the quaint downtown with great shops and wonderful restaurants. There is so much to do you can't get to everything in a week. The historical areas of Tybee Island, lighthouse station and museum, Fort Screven across from lighthouse, Fort Pulaski, Marine Science Center and so much more. We took three trips to Savannah for tours and shopping and dining on River Street. We had a view of the pier being on the far end of the Resort on the first floor so every morning we got up and walked out to the end of the pier for incredible sunrises. We metal detected and walk to the bay to see the dolphins. The entire trip was lovely. Would we come back YES!

After staying here almost every year for the past 15 years, my family has enjoyed many great memories. However, the condos are now more run-down, and there are a couple problems that should be addressed. First, the fact that smoking is still permitted on the balconies is ridiculous. Secondhand smoke, as we all know, is toxic and immediately harmful. The beach view is the key feature to this place, and everyone should be able to sit on the patio to enjoy it without the smell of cigarette smoke. This year I brought a floor fan to put on the patio with me, but it did not prevent the smell of smoke. There is no safe level of breathing secondhand smoke whether you are indoors or out. Smoking needs banned on the patios. The second issue is with the mildew smell of the air vents. The first two days this week, all I could smell is fresh laundry. Apparently, there are dryer sheets on the air filters, which is loaded with toxic chemicals btw. However, the rest of the week, it smelled strongly of mildew every time the AC kicked on. That could be a serious issue for those with asthma or mold allergies. Third, the kitchen could definitely use an update, specifically the scratched nonstick cooking pans, which are toxic (you knew that was coming). Those need replaced with new ceramic pans. And one last note - I find it absolutely ironic that I witnessed the maintenance man threatening a lady in the pool that he would call the health department and have her kicked out because she removed the rope that separates deep/shallow ends. Yes, call the health department, please, and ask them about all the issues I listed as well. Folks, overall this is a decent place to stay with perks like the beach view, free coffee, and an easy walk to the pool. However, be aware of the negatives that could potentially harm your well-being. We go on vacation to relax and de-stress, not come home with lung cancer. Seriously.

Great vacation spot on Tybee. All villas are ocean view, gated entry for security. Traditional timeshare property where the owners elect a Board if Directors & they hire staff. General manager is amazing, always there & making a difference. Villas can be rented with a two night minimum, best place to stay on Tybee.

Beautiful view of ocean from balcony. Condo needs serious updating. Paying for view and not accommodations. Women at front desk is very rude and unprofessional. Requested to speak with her boss to help get us checked in. Pool is not heated. Guests were not required to wear masks in lobby even though signs indicated that masks are required and county has mask mandate for all businesses.

We have been staying at this place for years. The view is wonderful! Reasonably priced and maintained. It's a great place to stay if in a pinch or a planned vacation. The beach is literally less than a block and the pier is walking distance as well. Lovely beach and views. I'd recommend this place.

First off, the location is great. You can't get closer to the ocean and beach. So it definitely has that going for it. Having said that, if we are focusing on the actually accommodations themselves, Tybrisa would not be the first place I'd recommend. The units are TINY. You cannot walk around the kitchen table without bumping into the couch, wall, or anything in between. If I chose the seat between the wall and kitchen table, I'd literally have to move the table to get in (I'm 5'9 and 165 lbs so I don't think it's an out of shape thing). There is only 1 main living area with places to sit, so if my family was watching a movie then the only place I could read my book was by laying down in bed. There are no ceiling fixtures in either of the bedrooms - so no fan to turn on or off as needed and the rooms were dark no matter what time of day. 1 of the showers had good water pressure, but the other you basically had to stand in one exact spot or you wouldn't get hit by the water, and the pressure was weak. A/C worked well, gotta give credit where credit is due. The last thing, and really the main thing that prompted this review, was the furniture/couches in the unit. They were heavily stained, and extremely cheap. It honestly felt gross to have any part of my skin touch the sofa. I'd be embarrassed if I were the owner to have those couches for my guests. Would try other beachfront properties before recommending this one.

Condo's face the beach. Beautiful view. Very very clean. Front desk staff is very nice. Would recommend and plan to stay there again soon.

This place is great and is very relaxing. Then dryer in the condo seemed to take forever to dry and the grill outside didn't work. Other than it was a great vacation and very relaxing for what it's worth.

If you're going to Tybee Island, you should definitely check out Tybrisa. The units have all been redone, and are in great shape. There is no better place to stay that combines access to the beach, the "downtown Tybee" area, and the pier and pavillion. The place is very secure, and the front desk staff bends over backwards. We own a week, so we go every year, but I would highly recommend it if you are looking to trade a week and go someplace different, or even to rent a week. The units are all 2 br/2 ba with FULL kitchens.
