Very clean and well furnished for the size, had everything we needed. Not a huge place but if you’re not spending your whole trip in the house it’s perfect. The walking path to the beach wasn’t ideal but we walked to the main beach instead of the south beach most days anyway so it wasn’t a big deal. Really liked the security of having a fenced in yard with our own gate.

Excellent property!

This rental had everything you could want! The location is very close to the beach as well as within walking distance to shops and restaurants. The unit is small, but perfect for 2 people, and kitchen was well equipped, bed very comfortable and quite convenient to have a washer/dryer in the kitchen. A nice feature was the carport with security gate. We couldn't have asked for anything more and recommend highly!

FABULOUS!!

The entire property was super fantastic. Superbly cleaned, neatly decorated, updated, modern, not over the top, but not lacking either. It will always hold a special spot for us because we got engaged while here, on the beach at sunset. Everything was perfect. Location was great, Tybee was easy to maneuver. The cottage was cozy and homey; we loved everything. We even had one small snaffu, the lock on the door broke when we put the key in (no one's fault). I called the property management company and they came immediately to take care of it.

Nice experience. Excellent owners.

Cozy studio met our needs on recent December trip. Plenty of heat through the mini-split, warm blankets and comfortable bed. We would not hesitate to stay again in December. The unit would benefit from two comfortable chairs, a few small end tables, and a floor lamp for reading. Lose the existing loveseat. Owners next door were VERY helpful with TV, internet, and other requests. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.

Beach adjacent for 2

The rental is a perfect retreat for a couple. It is updated , clean, and there was nothing we were missing. The screened in porch is a nice feature so you can enjoy the evenings without the bugs running you inside. It’s located almost directly on the backwater beach which is quite peaceful. We would like to stay here again.

The best relaxing vacation we have ever went on! Beach access was very easy to get to. Loved having the shower outside to rinse off after the beach. Not many people on this end of the beach. We will definitely be back!

Disliked: Cleanliness

Very nice place, but could use a little more attention to detail.

The studio was comfortable and peaceful. The drawbacks, which, except for the dirty floor, were all easy, inexpensive fixes, were as follows: * The floors were not clean and I had to buy floor cleaner and clean them before I could really settle in, as I don't wear shoes indoors. The cleaning fee was refunded, but still, no one wants to start their vacation doing housework. * The light bulbs in the bedside lamps were not bright enough to read by. * A full-length mirror would have been useful. * Some decent hangers would have been appreciated. * The "fully equipped kitchen" had no grater or scissors -- I had to buy a grater and use a knife in lieu of the scissors. * The unit has a washer/dryer but no detergent or dryer sheets -- another thing I had to go buy. I gave the property three stars, but if it hadn't been for these inconveniences, which are so easily remedied, I would have happily given Zabana Cottage five stars.

Very clean and private getaway

Gated property which was convenient and added to the feeling of safety while traveling. Close to beach access through the front or private access from behind the house. House was clean and we had no issues with anything when we were there and not traveling around. Would recommend and wished we could have stayed longer.
