DeSoto Beach Bed and Breakfast

Rick, the caretaker, was excellent! So knowledgeable being a historian of the in and of Scotland and of Savannah. We learned a lot! He recommended restaurants and we were able to eat at one. Again, excellent food! Rick is also an excellent cook and the breakfast that he served both days (different entrees) was AMAZING! We would definitely return there. Thanks Rick, for all that you did for us and all that you told us!!! Kris and Jim

The bed and breakfast suite needs some updating but the location was great! We had a balcony on our deck which allowed us to watch the water and listen to the water. The carpet in the bathroom vanity area is filthy and needs to be replaced. The room safe didn’t work. The house was 1930’s circa so pretty cool with its history. We had a small fridge with a freezer in our room which was nice too. There is a hotel next door where the pool was and walk out access to the beach. Location was within walking distance to restaurants.

My first trip to Tybee Island so booking online can be a gamble, when you don't know the area. I stayed in the B&B portion of the DeSoto which was really special. It's been a B&B in that exact house and location since 1936. The location on the island was perfect for exploring either end —the south end has a lot of bars, shops and dining while the north end has the historical features and some pretty fabulous restaurants that are highly rated. Being beachfront, the walk to the beach took just a minute. I didn't use the small pool but several guests seemed to be enjoying it. Rick, the Scottish host was phenomenal. He left wine and cheese in the evening, turned on the shared space lights and provided a delicious home-cooked breakfast the next morning. He's also a font of information about the area and also Savannah. There are lots of options to stay on Tybee but for a solo traveler or a couple this place is IDEAL. You can't go wrong. A+++

Really great location and Rick was the best host you could ask for - he knew everything about the town and made the best breakfasts! We enjoyed the B&B atmosphere of having breakfast with others who quickly became friends. The location is great: a short walk to the incredible beach.

It was great to have breakfast ready in the morning and not have to try and go anywhere to eat. The food was good, snacks were a nice touch, the covered porch and swing (hammock) was wonderful, and very relaxing, House had alot of character and was kept up fairly well and clean. Good location.
