Thinking about a beach place where you can slip away for long weekends, then offset costs when you’re not there? Tybee Island offers four distinct areas, each with a very different feel. The right fit comes down to how you plan to use the home and whether short-term rental income is part of your strategy.

South End (near the Pier)

This is Tybee’s activity center with restaurants, shops, and easy beach access all within walking distance. Rental demand is strongest here thanks to walkability and proximity to dining, though expect more visitor activity and weekend noise.

Mid Island

A balanced option with quick beach access but a quieter evening scene than the Pier area. Many homes here are elevated beach houses or updated cottages, making it popular for families and owners who want flexibility between personal use and rentals.

North Beach & Fort Screven

Scenic, historic, and generally calmer than the South End. Broad beaches and lighthouse views appeal to buyers who prefer a slower pace, with selective rental use where permitted.

Back River

On the sunset side of the island, this area offers a more residential waterfront feel with boating access and big marsh views. It’s ideal for owners who prioritize scenery and privacy over nightlife.

Short-term rentals require a city certificate, and rules vary by zoning district, so verifying permit status early is essential if rental income is part of your plan.

Choosing the right neighborhood means aligning lifestyle goals with the realities of permitting, insurance, and seasonality. When done right, a Tybee second home can be both an escape and a smart long-term investment.
