Welcome to Tybee Island... Tybee means "salt" to Native Americans, but the name of this low-key seaside resort now brings to mind words such as "sun", "surf" and "fun". Located 18 miles east of Savannah, this small barrier island boasts a wide, 3-mile long beach that's backed by sea oat-covered sand dunes and is perfect for sunbathing, people-watching and frolicking in the waves of the Atlantic Ocean.
Tybee Island Condo For Sale
This is a turn key vacation rental that will not just pay for itself but earn money the very first year.
We have owned this condo for almost 2 years now. Having a wife and 2 daughters, we use our "beach house" as often as possible. Our primary residence is about 10 miles inland so getting away at the last minute has always been a viable option.
Over the past 2 years we have been fortunate to rent our condo to vacationers practically year round. In season (April 1st through October 31st) stays virtually booked solid. Offseason has done well as we have attracted many snowbirds. Overall, we are able to generate approximately $20,000 in rental income yearly.
Take a look at the reservation calendar at the bottom to see the occupancy rate. View my rental website at http://www.beachcondotybee.com/ This website comes with the purchase of the condo. Able to cover our annual costs of owning the condo and having the luxury of using it for much of the offseason, it has been a big success for our family. Unfotunately, we have made the difficult decision of selling our second home as the economy is devastating our financial wellbeing.
I purchased this condo from a bank early 2008 as a foreclosure. I paid roughly $145,000 and immediately put around $60,000 in renovations into the unit.
Savannah Beach and Racquet Club development began in 1984. This unit had not been updated since its original construction. You will see below all of the before and after pictures I took. It is hard to believe that it is the same place.
The last appraisal came in at $230,000 which was mid 2008 after most renovations were complete.
We are asking $225,000 which is very close to the amount of money we have invested into the property.

Unit A134 - Building A is the original phase of development at SB&RC. All units are 1 bedroom 1 bath and the same in size. Our goal was to maximize the use of this relatively small space. At aboout 550 square feet, it was a challenge but gave us an opportunity to be creative.
Some of the nice touches geared towards relaxing are the whirlpool tub, Cable internet access and WiFi, and the IJoy Massage chair in the living room. You can surf the waves at the beach, surf the tub with the jets screaming or surf the net on the massage chair with the broadband screaming.
The view of the ocean from the balcony is marginal. It is not a direct view of the beach and water. It can be seen from the balcony, just not an unubstructed view. The fact that my unit is as nice as it comes makes up for the lack of view! If you want to have a great view of the ocean but spend your inside time staring at the year 1982, then my place is not for you. If your looking for luxurious accomodations inside and the same pool and beach access as everyone else in the building, you will be completely satisfied.

In case the weather isnt cooperating or your red skin needs a break, relaxing inside with a movie or your favorite show is a breeze. We installed a 42" LCD on the wall in the living room which has plenty to watch on cable or really relax in bed with the wall mounted LCD with built in DVD player. This also makes a great place for the kids to chill and get out of your way for a bit. Pop in their favorite DVD and they are perfectly entertained.
We are selling the condo with all furnishing included. Living room has a full size leather LazyBoy sleeper sofa. All furnishing were purchased new in 05/08 which include the sofa, coffee table, end tables, and entire bedroom suite. The kitchen table was our original table from our house which just seems to be the perfect size. With its extendable ends it easily accomodates 4 and can accomodate 6 for dining. Nice decor throughout.

The patio has been tiled the same as the rest of the unit. This picture was taken before that tile project was complete.
Great floors
Every bit of flooring, including the balcony, has been tiled with a very nice solid porcelain tile. This makes it easy to sweep or vacuum up sand with the broom or vacuum provided. With the pool and beach just at the end of this building, its not too hard to get sand inside - and thats why you come here.
Kitchen
The kitchen is an area we are most proud of. With all new designer cabinets, stainless steel appliance and a very unique slab of granite, it is something to see. Appliances include a ultra quite dishwasher, flat top electric stove and oven, a built in over the range microwave and a high end side by side refridgerator with filtered ice and water at the door.
Living Room

Bathroom
The bathroom is 100% new with a granite top vanity, tile surround in the shower and jetted tub. I selected the deepest jetted tub I could find for a standard sized bath space. A glass shower enclosure really ties this bathroom together.
Bedroom
The original size of the bedroom was just too small. We opened the wall to the hall which added about 25% more to its width. We put pocket doors in the hall on both sides of the bathroom. This enables two couples the utilize our condo with complete separation, even if someone needs the restroom.These units were original with bunk beds built into the wall in the hall - and we decided to leave them for those traveling with children. The pocket doors also come in handy if children are sleeping in the bunks. Kids are sleeping - simply close off one or both of the doors and the living room, kitchen and bathroom are separated.
2 Pools
Closest pool also has kiddie pool. This picture is taken from the 3rd floor stariway, not from my balcony.
Tennis Courts
See how well we have rented over the past year and a half
