Welcome to The Gypsy Mariner! Enjoy 1,204 square feet of beautifully designed interior living space and an additional >1,400 square feet of covered outdoor entertaining area. This custom Lowcountry-style home was built in 2017 and is elevated 10 feet above ground level on a raised slab foundation. Thanks to its elevation, the home has never experienced storm surge flooding or mustiness (as many homes on the island have). Conveniently located just off US Highway 80, The Gypsy Mariner is within easy walking distance of several North Beach restaurants. Beach access is only 324 steps away (or a 2.5 -4 minute walk depending on speed), and Huc-A-Poo’s is just 135 steps from the property. The nearest beach access is Byers Street Beach, known for being more secluded and less crowded, with oyster bars for fishing and a sandy bottom that is ideal for swimming and wading out, and never rip tides. The property offers parking for up to 3 vehicles. Additional street parking is available per Park Tybee regulations ($25 per day with a day pass).

Guests enter the home via one flight of stairs and are welcomed onto a spacious porch featuring an 8-foot outdoor dining table that seats 8 comfortably for alfresco meals. Inside, the open-concept living and kitchen area is bright and inviting. The kitchen features island seating for four and flows seamlessly into the living room, which includes a 55-inch Crystal UHD Smart TV. The space showcases a vaulted tray ceiling with recessed lighting and a ceiling fan, along with shiplap walls and a tongue-and-groove ceiling for classic coastal charm. Furnishings include a 92-inch queen sleeper sofa that comfortably accommodates two adults, an oversized swivel chair, a plush armchair, and a collection of board games and puzzles for guest entertainment. The kitchen is fully equipped with an electric range and cooktop, externally vented hood, microwave, full-size refrigerator and freezer, Keurig, drip coffee maker, French press, coffee grinder, toaster, blender, dishwasher, large pantry, and a complete assortment of pots, pans, bakeware, serving dishes, and cutlery to make meal preparation easy and enjoyable.

Down the central hallway, guests will find a laundry room with a washer and dryer. There are 3 bedrooms, with one as a master suite. Every bedroom features a king bed with a memory foam mattress, 4 pillows, a ceiling fan, window shades, matching nightstands and lamps, matching bedside charging ports (several configurations), a closet, luggage rack, laundry basket, and a 50-inch Crystal UHD Smart TV. That is 3 king beds! Two beds are 36 inches high, and one is 22 inches high. The master suite includes a large walk-in closet that may also be shared with guests using the sleeper sofa. All bedroom windows are fitted with blinds for privacy, and one guest bedroom includes an emergency exit with a wide stairwell leading to the backyard.

The hall guest bathroom has a tub-and-shower combination, a single sink, and an oversized mirror. The master bath offers a 5'x3' walk-in shower, double vanity sinks, and an oversized mirror. Both bathrooms are equipped with American Standard Vormax power-flush toilets (which reduce the risk of clogs) and high power 110 CFM bathroom fans. Showers include wall-mounted dispensers stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel for a luxury hotel-style experience.

THE FUN ZONE:
Below the home is the fully covered outdoor entertainment space, the Fun Zone. Here, guests can relax in the private 7-seater jetted spa surrounded by acacia wood flooring. The spa is bromine-based, which does not have a chlorinated odor and does not irritate the skin.

The nautical-inspired outdoor bar is designed to resemble the stern of a boat, featuring teak swim platforms as the bar top for an authentic coastal feel. The bar and accompanying high-top table are on casters, allowing guests to reposition them as desired. You can keep your drinks cold in the full sized beer fridge and freezer located by the bar.

Outdoor seating, a big-screen TV, and a gas fire pit coffee table are next to the hot tub to allow for conversation. A competition bristle dart board hangs near the bar. A 12-foot competition-style shuffleboard table will keep guests entertained for hours. The area also has space to exercise, and some basic fitness gear (mats, small kettlebells, resistance bands, push up bars) is provided for use. Beach essentials are provided for guest use, including beach towels, beach chairs, a beach cart, kickboards, and sandcastle-building toys. Some fishing supplies are also available (not rods). Accessible from the Fun Zone, on the side of the home, you will also find a fully enclosed outdoor shower with both hot and cold water, perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach. In the backyard, you will find a large gas grill.

All 4 TVs in the unit are equipped with Roku (while the TV in the Fun Zone has a standard remote), prompting you to enter your checkout date and rest assured that you will automatically be signed out of all your streaming services at checkout.

We understand the cleaning fee may seem high. The fee covers two services: housekeeping + linens, and Certified Pool Operator spa chemical treatment and cleaning maintenance after every guest.

For longer stays, mandatory weekly spa cleaning is $70/wk after the 1st week. Weekly housekeeping may be arranged for an additional cost. Guests may book >28 days by messaging the host and making multiple back-to-back bookings. Please message to request a booking that is a 2-day stay or a last-minute stay less than 2 days in advance.

Bitcoin mining, filming, and events are not permitted. Per this platform's policies, parties are not permitted.

Our most common Q&A’s:

Q: Is the hot tub private or are we sharing it with other people and houses?
A: Yes, the hot tub, backyard and everything under the house is for your group only. The area is also closed off for more privacy, although you should not expect that people cannot look in if they are walking beside or behind the house. The outdoor shower is only open to the sky.

Q: Are there beach chairs?
A: Yes, there are plenty of beach chairs, including low reclined ones. There is also a beach cart.

Q: Are beach umbrellas provided?
A: No. Umbrellas can become projectiles in high wind, and the host does not provide them. If a prior guest leaves an umbrella at the property, you use it at your own risk.

Q: Can I request an early check-in or late check-out?
A: Yes. You're welcome to request an early check-in or late checkout, but we cannot guarantee that your request can be accommodated. In many cases (especially summer), we won't know whether it's possible until 0–2 days before your arrival or departure. If another guest is checking out or checking in on the same day, we are unable to offer an early check-in or late checkout. The time between reservations is needed to thoroughly clean the home, service the spa, inspect the property, and address any maintenance issues to ensure the home is ready for the next guests. It is unrealistic for the host to contact the cleaners and ask them to rearrange their schedule and travel as they are juggling several properties.

Q: Can I park at the home prior to check-in?
A: No. Parking at the home prior to check-in is the same as checking in early. Attempting to do this may result in blocking the cleaner, spa professional, the host, and other service people from parking or leaving with their vehicles. This results in inconveniencing them. We respect our professional teammates and ask that you do the same.
