A Historic Tybee Island Marshview Compound with Four Rental Units and a Private Pool

Built in 1924 by the Tybee Beach Company as “Spec Cottage A,” this historic property is considered the first example of a Tybee raised cottage on the island. Constructed just one year after Tybee Road opened, the property sits on a half-acre corner lot and includes four separate living units, marsh views, and a private swimming pool.

Four Separate Living Spaces

Offering approximately 3250 sq ft with 6 BR / 6 BA across four separate living units, this fully furnished property provides options for full-time living, a second home, multigenerational living, or rental use.

The main home features three separate units, each with its own screened porch, full kitchen, and washer and dryer. The upstairs residence includes 3 BR / 3 BA, original hardwood floors, a spacious living area, and a custom kitchen with granite countertops that opens to the dining area and sunroom. From the sunroom, stairs provide access to the pool, while a large screened wraparound porch with a ping-pong table offers additional space to relax and entertain.

Two separate 1 BR / 1 BA units are located downstairs, providing additional flexibility for guests or potential rental use.

A Private Backyard Cottage Overlooking the Marsh

A detached 360 sq ft, 1 BR studio cottage sits in the backyard overlooking the marsh. Separate from the main house, it provides additional space for guests or other permitted uses.

The property also features a gunite swimming pool, a covered outdoor kitchen pavilion, and ample parking. With multiple screened porches and outdoor gathering areas, there is plenty of room for residents and guests.

Walk to Restaurants and Enjoy the Beach Nearby

Located just four blocks from the beach and within walking distance of local restaurants, the property offers convenient access to Tybee Island's amenities while overlooking the marsh.

The combination of four separate living units, outdoor space, and a convenient location makes the property suitable for a variety of residential and potential rental arrangements.

An Opportunity for Coastal Living and Rental Income

The certificate is described as eligible for a one-time transfer beginning January 1, 2027, subject to city requirements and approval.
