My Mom, three sisters, and I (all over 50) take a vacation together each year. We come from the east coast, west coast, and northeast and each year we try to find a new beach spot on the east coast.
This year, although it%26#39;s not on the ocean, we decided to visit Savannah, GA. What a nice surprise to discover Tybee Island was only 15 minutes away. So, rather than stay in a hotel room in Savannah, we rented a condo on Tybee. After researching lodging on the Island, we rented Sandpiper #306 through Tybee Vacation Rentals (TVR). What a great choice - TVR was highly recommended by reviewers on TripAdvisor.com and they were right.
The 3-bedroom, 2-bath condo was oceanfront, spacious, clean, nicely decorated, and had everything we needed for a week%26#39;s stay. The staff at TVR were friendly and very responsive to any request.
We enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere on Tybee. We walked the beach every morning and evening; visited the local shops - some tacky-tourist, some nice (check out Seaside Sisters); ate at a couple of restaurants (delicious onion rings and RazzRitas at Fannies at the Beach, good pizza from Cousin Vinnie%26#39;s); and toured the local points of interest (forts and museums and a great old lighthouse).
Then, in a matter of minutes, we could drive to Savannah and stroll along River and Bay Streets in the afternoons. We visited beautiful Forsythe Park and had fun in the City Market. We%26#39;re all fans of Food Network, so we had to eat at Paula Deen%26#39;s Lady and Son Restaurant (good, traditional Southern buffet) and Uncle Bubba%26#39;s Oyster House (fabulous chargrilled oysters).
We didn%26#39;t eat out a lot, because we treasured spending time together in the kitchen of our condo as we prepared our meals. Then, later in the evenings, we sat around the table playing Yahtzee and Monopoly, sipping wine as we talked, laughed, and caught up on each other%26#39;s news.
What a great week with family! Tybee - we%26#39;ll be back!
