Tybee Island is an island and city in Chatham County, Georgia near the city of Savannah in the southeastern United States. The island, which includes the city of the same name, has had an annual Beach Bum parade. It usually happens in May of each year. And since 1994, Owner Direct Vacation Rentals has offered accommodations (vacation rentals, condo rentals, and villa rentals) all over the world including Tybee Island.

Tybee means “salt” to Native Americans, but the name of this low-key seaside resort now brings to mind words such as “sun”, “surf” and “fun”. This quaint barrier island full of villa rentals boasts a wide, 3-mile long beach that’s backed by sand dunes and is perfect for sunbathing, people-watching and frolicking in the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. The island’s south-end pier and pavilion is a splendid venue for strolling above the ocean, people watching and fishing. The many choices for accommodation means that you’ll find that perfect condo rental, villa rental, or vacation rental for your vacation. Watch the sunset from your villa rental and enjoy the sound of the ocean.

Although vacationers are lured to Tybee mainly because of what it provides in the way of recreation and relaxation, those with a love of history won’t be disappointed. A few sites that must be seen: Fort Screven, The Tybee Island Lighthouse, and Fort Pulaski National Monument.

Don’t know what you’re looking for in terms of accommodations? Since 1994 Owner Direct Vacation Rentals has provided Live Assistance every day of the year. We match guests with owners of villas, condos, and different types of accommodation and lodging.

While Tybee is a resort town complete with a full range of restaurants, villa rentals, and luxurious options for your vacation rental, it’s also a residential area stocked with its share of colorful characters. It’s an atmosphere considerably more laid-back than that of glitzier, larger beach towns to the north and south.

You’ll find that this is the kind of town where tourists and locals alike ditch the heels and Dockers in favor of flip-flops and topsiders and enjoy their meals in some of the most laid-back waterside restaurant-bars around. You’re sure to find something to please your palate – from the fresh fish to the no-fuss, no-frills atmosphere.
