We are looking to take a beach vacation soon. We get our taxes back in a week or so and want to go ahead and pay for where ever we stay.

Right now we are looking at Tybee Island, GA.

I was just wondering if anyone has been and if you have any advice on beach house rentals.

FYI - Tybee Island - stung three times by jellyfish in 30 minutes one day.

They do have periods when the jellyfish come in and hang out. The day I was stung, I watched and it appeared almost everyone who got in the water was getting stung. Doris was with me. Google some articles and check it out, also.

I really enjoy the oceans for 20-30 minutes at a time but I really love crystal clear pool water.

Me and you BOTH! I would so much rather save money and go to Gatlinburg but Danny has to have the beach. He can't even swim.

Slow learner?

Lance said Tybee Island doesn't have a good beach. There's no recreation there either. There's a little bit to do in Savannah. He recommends St. Augustine. It's further though.

Dont know about that island .. Are you talking a trip SOON late winter or early spring or summer time etc.

Myrtle Beach during the winter is way kewl. You can get a OceanFront rooms with balconies etc for less than $45 a night. Some even include breakfast. Mostg have an indoor pool etc for swimming. Open the door and listen to the ocean all night.

In Jan rates are $37 a night at some hotels.

Good luck.

Here are some links to Tybee in case you don't have them,...www.tybeevisit.com ---- www.tybeeisland.com

My wife and I went there every year for several years, in the fall, usually in October. (And the motel rates drop the 1st of Oct.) We liked the cooler weather and the un-crowded beach. They do have a nice beach there now after re-doing it a few years ago. Hauled in massive amounts of sand and extended the beach out into the ocean. The last few times we went we stayed in DUNES INN. Nice, and not too pricey. Stayed in one of the Condos one year after they demolished the motel we had been staying in to make room for it. The owners lease them to visiters -- very nice. I went the last two years alone as I lost my wife in 2004 to cancer. I have a brother and sister-in-law who really like Myrtle Beach.


Here are some pictures I made last year in October, along with 3 or 4 of Savannah and 1 of the bridge going to SC.

Just want to add that the DUNES INN is not beach front. The web links list those that are.

I've visited Tybee a few times, and there's not much to do there other than visit the lighthouse. Savannah isn't too far away and there's lots you can do there. You can take a tour of downtown during the day and then go back and take a ghost tour at night. I think St. Simons has a nicer beach, but even less to do, unless you like golf since Jekyll is only a few miles away and has what was one of the top 100 courses in the country.

Gosh, Cats....did y'all win the lottery or something?
