Inside 1213 5th Avenue: A Renovated Tybee Island Cottage with More Room to Enjoy the Outdoors

Located on Tybee Island, 1213 5th Avenue is a renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom beach cottage with 792 square feet of living space and a spacious lot with access from both 5th and 6th Avenues. Built in 1950, the home has been completely renovated with an updated layout, modern finishes and plenty of outdoor space.

A Beautifully Reimagined Coastal Interior

The kitchen features quartz countertops, white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and an island with barstool seating. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the home, giving the interior a clean and consistent look.

The primary suite includes a private bathroom with a large walk-in shower and a washer and dryer. The home also has a metal roof.

Exceptional Outdoor Living and Entertaining

One of the best parts of this property is the outdoor space. The privacy-fenced yard includes a covered pavilion with exposed wood beams, ceiling fans and string lights. There's also a large paver patio with room for outdoor dining or spending time with friends.

The yard has several established fruit trees, including lime, blood orange, peach and pear trees, along with grape vines. It's a nice addition for anyone who enjoys gardening or having fresh fruit growing right outside.

A Rare Double-Entrance Lot with Endless Possibilities

The property's double-entrance lot is another feature worth noting. It extends an entire block with access from both 5th and 6th Avenues, providing flexibility that can be hard to find on the island.

There's room to add a pool or accommodate a boat or RV, along with potential to build a second structure, subject to City of Tybee Island approval and requirements. The property also has private off-street parking.

Enjoy the Best of Tybee Island Living

The location makes it easy to enjoy some of Tybee Island's favorite outdoor activities. The island's bike path is just half a block away, and the surrounding street has minimal through traffic.

The Back River is four blocks away, where you can catch the sunset or use the nearby boat and kayak ramp. In the other direction, beach access is just five blocks away for a morning walk or an afternoon by the ocean.

For anyone looking for a home on Tybee Island, this cottage offers updated living space, a large yard and a location close to both the beach and Back River. The double-entrance lot also gives buyers some additional options to consider for the future.
