Tybee Vacation Rentals is proud to be a member of the new Tybee Island Business Alliance. The Alliance will help all businesses on Tybee work together with the Better Hometown Coordinator and city officials to accomplish changes for the betterment of the island.  Some 50 odd businesses are already members, and it is envisioned that all businesses will eventually be represented.

Synergy is the word to describe what this organization will do. With all businesses working together, their impact for visitors AND residents will be more than the whole. The first three “big items” the Alliance will tackle will be restrooms (their cleanliness, availability and ease of use), parking (finding adequate spaces, charging fair fees and working toward a long-term goal of a garage) and trash (having enough trash cans, having trash picked up for a cleaner island and disposing of trash properly).

Tybee Vacation Rentals continues to work towards providing top-notch service to our customers, and working with all entities on the Island to make your Tybee experience the best it can be.

Why pay the parking fee ($1.50 per hour), try to find a place to park (impossible) or drink water for an evening because you are the designated driver when out on Tybee?  Take the Crab Cab–the only cab company located here on Tybee. They can be there in minutes, ready to take you and your friends anywhere. They can drop you off at the door–keep you from walking in the heat–let you imbibe and have a good time–and generally be your transportation around the island.

Want to go to events, but don’t want to mess with the traffic, which can be horrendous? Take Crab Cab there and back. Wallah–no problems.

Prices are reasonable. A group can go anywhere for $10 plus $1 for each additional person. Need the airport? Crab Cab will take you for $50 and $5 for each additional person–a deal if you split the cost. Go to River Street in Savannah for $30 for 3 and $3 each additional person. Want one of the close islands? CC will take you for $20 and $2 each additional person.  Call 912.786.CRAB (2722).
