where we stayed

We stayed in Savannah's Beach Racquet Club, on airbnb which provides a gated Community with beach access and is located North end of Tybee Island directly on the bay where the Savannah River meets the Atlantic Ocean. It is quieter but walkable to some of our favorite spots such as Tybean cafe!
