Awesome location, great family home

Lovely decorated beach home that was just what my family needed. Lots of fishing opportunities to fish on the private dock. Super quick drive to the beach, or a nice leisurely walk if weather permits. Great location and neighborhood! Super communication from home management. We all loved our stay.

Beautiful sunsets

There were 5 of us, myself and my 2 sisters and their husbands. The first thing you saw when you walked in was the beautiful back river water and dock. You could see this whenever in kitchen, dining room and living room. The rooms were all adequate and comfortable. We spent a lot of time sitting on the rocking chairs on the porch enjoying the water. We loved the dock, part of which is covered and had couches and rocking chairs. One of my sisters and I spent a lot of time reading there. We rented a golf cart which made it easy to get Tybee and not have to worry about parking. We grew up on Tybee in the 50's and 60's. We have been coming back for vacations quite frequently for the last 15 years. We will definitely be back.

Best of all it had a dock on deep water on the Back River. We had such a great time hanging out on the dock, swimming and enjoying the nice breeze on the river.

Great Sibling trip

We had the best time during our stay! The house was so charming! We loved the back dock area where the dolphins came by daily. It was one of the highlights of our trip. The communication with the managers of this house was wonderful. The location was excellent close to restaurants and the beach. We loved the laid back vibe. We will be back next year.

AMAZING back river home

Our family of 7 came for a week after baseball in Atlanta. Tybee is so great! Cute town. We loved the house...interesting history, beautiful decor, lots of space. Our boys fished daily and had great success! They caught flounder daily and I cooked it up! The girls took the golf cart we rented to the beach and got coffee (Sand Cat and Tybean) It was the best stay!!!!

The property is lovely with a great view of the river from the porch, even better on the dock. The only things we really needed was a working ice maker or ice trays in the freezer and blankets. There was only one blanket in the entire house that I could find. The room configuration is a little misleading, one of the bedrooms is on the bottom level, it is very dark and musty down there and I am not sure I would enjoy staying in the lowest level. There was also a sleeping area upstairs, but it is an "open" space and could be used as additional place to sleep or another common area for kids to hang out in. Overall, I would highly recommend the house, we loved staying there even if it was just the two of us. The house is a historical gem and the owners are so kind. I would love to come visit the area again.

The dock and the pavilion were a big hit as most of our time was spent there. We were without internet and tv the entire stay although the cable company set up repair dates and for some reason or another never came. T

Memories to last a Lifetime!

We rented this house to celebrate our dad’s 70th birthday and it did not disappoint!!!! The house has an open concept which allowed our for great conversation and space to play games on a rainy day. We spent most of our time, though, on the pier fishing and watching the dolphins who visited!!!! Sunsets were beautiful. You can’t go wrong with Beach Music! Our family created memories that will last a lifetime.

Perfect - we were planning our next stay here the first night!

Our party consisted of my husband and me, my daughter and her husband and 3 & 6 year old sons, another adult daughter and a teenage granddaughter. We all loved it. The home is beautifully decorated with Blue Willow china accents throughout. My husband even commented on how well it's decorated. Everyone said their beds were comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. There are wrap-around porches with rocking chairs and a porch swing - which I don't recall being mentioned in the on-line summary. The dock is the crown jewel! Besides the sunset, you'll enjoy dolphin watching and fishing. Couldn't have been better!

This property is the total package!

We spent a long weekend at Beach Music for my mother's 75th birthday and everyone had a wonderful time. There was something for everyone, including board games, TVs and a ping pong table for the kids. The adults enjoyed the well-appointed porches with stunning views and everyone found the home to be equipped with everything we could need to cook, eat and celebrate. We can't wait to go back to this wonderful property!

Perfect Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented this home for a quick family vacation before the holidays, and everyone in our group had the same reaction as they walked inside: "Wow!" The home is beautiful, spacious, and comfortable - everything we could ask for. Watching the sunrise and sunsets from the dock everyday was incredible. It seemed like we saw pods of dolphins swim by every time we were out there! Conveniently located to everything on Tybee, it was really a perfect location. Very clean. Lucky team was readily available when we had questions. Thanks for a great stay and we hope to be back soon!
