What is a Concierge?

Published by Tybee Concierge under Travel Tips

What is a concierge? A concierge is a person who assists visiting guests with things they need such as reservations, amenities, information, transportation, maps, tours, and so forth. No job is too small or difficult. Our job is to find what you need. Tybee Vacation Rentals’ Information Center has a concierge on duty 7 days a week, and we are here to help you with anything you need. For example, do you want groceries at your rental unit when you arrive? After driving or flying so many hours, who wants to go to the grocery store right away to get needed items?

We can help!

Do you have small children and need baby equipment such as strollers, high chairs, cribs and so forth? Do you need some kind of tent or cabana to keep the children in the shade on the beach? Why cart all that stuff with you.

We can help!

You only have a limited time on Tybee, and you want to know what not to miss.

We can help!

It’s Aunt Mabel’s birthday and she’s here with you and you want to have a cake and flowers.

We can help!

Want reservations for the theatre? For a Riverboat Cruise? For a Paula Deen tour? For dinner at a nice restaurant? A golf tee time?

We can help!

Our concierges are trained, knowledgeable and have experience in the art of service. One has a Savannah touring license and has written a tour for Tybee. Let us help you with your trip. In fact, let us spoil you. Call Mary Anne, Vivian or Vicki at 912.786.5852. We’re at your service!

What you should pack when you’re coming to Tybee Island.

Published by Tybee Concierge under Travel Tips

Congratulations! You are coming to one of the world’s best places, a paradise — Tybee Island.

If you are planning to stay at one of Tybee Vacation Rentals (Which we HIGHLY recommend) over 125+ properties we’d like to let you know what they provide, and to let you know what you need to bring.

TVR provides a basic supply of bed and bath linens in each property, but they are not changed during your stay. They also provide a “start-up” set of bath soap, toilet tissue and trash bags but these are not replenished. You may want to bring more towels, soap and personal items. If you plan on visiting the beach, you need to bring your beach towel or mat. Better yet, buy one on Tybee and you’ll have a great souvenir from your trip. Continue Reading »

Seafood Safety

Published by Tybee Concierge under Travel Tips, Where to Eat

Ah, lovely seafood!!! It is an excellent choice for health-conscious consumers and is high in beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, low in saturated fat, cooks quickly, and is available in a tremendous variety of species and forms. Tybee Island is proud to serve fresh seafood from Georgia waters, and there isn’t anything better. However, just like beef, pork and chicken, there are things you should know when handling, cooking and eating seafood. Continue Reading »

Jellyfish - Bites and Bits

Published by Tybee Concierge under Safety Tips, Travel Tips

Oh, the dreaded jellyfish! This year, because of our unusually warm waters spawning bacteria, jellyfish are supposed to be more prolific than ever. Anybody who goes into saltwater is at risk–swimmers, boaters, divers, fishermen. They sting and the painful burning feeling lasts at least 4 hours, and then leaves itching and red welts for days. Some people are allergic to the stings and may suffer more serious effects.

Why do they hurt so much? The long, stringy parts of the jellyfish, called tentacles, have a substance in them called nematocysts. When the tentacles Continue Reading »
