Eisenhower's Retreat is a restored original Tybee beach cottage.

"Eisenhower's Retreat" is a restored original Tybee beach cottage. This preferred beach home is documented as a National Historic House with the US Department of the Interior. Staying at this updated beach cottage is a unique experience that you will never forget.

The home is conveniently located a few steps away from the beach and on the island's south end. You will be walking distance away from the famous Tybee pier, shops, and many local restaurants.

The 2000 square feet historic beach cottage features antique décor coupled with the modern conveniences desired in a vacation home. Eisenhower's Retreat is perfect for large families, groups, or couples looking for an authentic vacation experience. Every room features historical architectural features that will remind you of the nostalgia of a beach town of years gone by.

Once you arrive, a large 'Tybee-style' decorated screened-in porch welcomes you. A blanket of vintage pine floors coupled with upscale furnishings is through the home. The large living room features comfortable sofas, a large HD smart tv, and an electric fireplace. Within the large living room is a dining table perfect for a game of cards, board games, or enjoying a meal. Directly connecting to the living room is the kitchen furnished with appliances to compliment the vintage cottage beach vibe.

Eisenhower's Retreat has four bedrooms upstairs with a bonus bedroom on the lower level of the home, with 10ft high ceilings and ceiling fans in each room. Bedroom #1 is the main bedroom with a King bed, an attached full bathroom with a clawfoot tub, and an oversized showerhead. Bedrooms #2 and #3 have Queen beds. Bedroom #4 has two double beds. The 2nd full-size bathroom with a clawfoot tub and an oversized showerhead is off the hallway.
There is a bonus bedroom located downstairs in the basement (must be accessed by walking out of the home, through the front door, down the porch steps, and down the concrete steps to the side of the house) with a Queen bed and two Twin beds. There is a half bathroom on the same level that is off the open-air hallway that goes under the home. Additionally, the bonus bedroom has a TV and a window unit A/C.

The lower level at Eisenhower's Retreat embraces more of the home's fascinating 123+-year-old history. This area is an excellent place to experience, complete with gathering space! To access the lower level of the house, you must go outside – this area does not have direct access from the main level of the home.
