Tybrisa At the Beach

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.
