Tybee Vacation Rentals Concierge and Tybee Information Site

Shiver me timbers…..Tybee hosted the Polar bear plunge on January 1st on the Pier and was it a hoot! Some 1,000 participants braved the 54 degree temperature to take a dip in the mightly Atlantic. “I Invigorated my soul,” said one participant, “it was the best way to start the new year off.”  There were sharks, gorillas, grandmas, babies, a congressman and they came from all over. Screams of delight (or agony) could be heard by the hundreds of people packed on the pier, watching the spectacle. “It made me cold just lookin’ at them,” said one watcher. “One guy was in his underwear and I couldn’t believe it.”

This event has become a Tybee tradition, held every January 1st at noon at the Pier on the south end of the island. Plan to be with us next year, invigorating your soul with a cleansing (and cold) plunge into the Atlantic.

Want to get married at a special time, in a special way? Come to Tybee for the annual Tie the Knot On Tybee, held Valentine’s Day weekend. Bring your family and spouse-to-be and get married at Tybee. We provide flowers, a reception, food, music–everything you’d like, and the officiate performing the ceremony is a non-denominational Ordained Minister through the Universal Ministries.

Want to renew your vows? Tie the Knot on Tybee is the perfect venue for that romantic re-affirmation of vows. What better way to celebrate an anniversary than on the beach.

And if you plan on bringing your pet, keep these things in mind:

1. Go to your vet and get your pet checked out before you come. Get flea medicine and copies of the pet’s vaccine records just in case. Make sure your pet is healthy before traveling. You may want to even consider getting your pet microchipped with pertinent information on it.

2. Your pet should have a legible ID tag with his name, your name, your address, and your phone number even if it is microchipped.

3. Bring a few of the pet’s familiar items: food, bed, toys and treats. This isn’t the time to make changes which might make them sick.

4. Bring a crate just in case, and a gate to keep the pet confined to one area of your rental home.

5. Pack a first-aid kit for your animal. Ask your vet which items are best for traveling.

6. NEVER, EVER LEAVE YOUR PET IN THE CAR. Temperatures can heat up quickly or become very cold quickly.

7. Schedule regular stops when traveling with your pet. They need stretch breaks, bathroom breaks and water breaks. Give THEM a break.

We will look forward to seeing you and your pet on Tybee.
