It’s been 7 years since we went on the beach trip to Tybee Island that was so much fun. Since summer is here, I thought you’d enjoy a peek at Mary Kay Andrews Breeze Inn again. It will get you in the mood for a beach trip for sure. Please note, the giveaway was long ago, this is not a current post!
******************************************
I hope you are not tired of seeing these beach cottages on Tybee Island, because I warned you I took lots of pics. They are too beautiful not to share! One of the cottages that our group stayed in on Tybee Island with Mermaid Cottages was The Breeze Inn, another of Mary Kay Andrews beach cottages. It’s such a beauty with an old style beach feel, just as you’d expect from a 60’s beach resort. That’s the feel some of these cottages have. I love the nostalgia created on Tybee and it truly is a fun getaway. I can’t wait to go back!
The Breeze Inn. Doesn’t this pic just make you smile?
Inside is a welcoming beach cottage chock full of vintage goodness.
Bookcases filled with books and slipcovered chairs.
The living room is a happy mix of coral, blues, and greens. Those cute vintage shutters make the space so quaint. Check out those lamps, too cute.
An old fashioned ceiling fan.
Living room looking towards the dining area. Check out the sailfish over the TV.
Fish chest by the front door.
Looking into one room with a daybed.
Turquoise daybed.
Charming white planked walls going upstairs.
Right out back is a cute screened porch with an old green glider and vintage rattan furniture. I love this mix and the SEA sign.
The Sea, what a great place to relax.
The pink fridge was fun.
The whole screened porch.
One of the bedrooms.
And bathroom
Upstairs, is a room with 3 twin beds and it has such a cute feel with red, white, and blue Americana.
Love this, can’t you see 3 little ones in here?
The master in shades of blue and white.
Love all those shuttered windows.
Armoire with old suitcases.
This little hallway goes to the master bath inside the bedroom.
Very cute and quaint in shades of soft blue and white. Look at that bird holding the toilet paper roll.
A cute little ducky.
Treasures from the sea on those vintage sconces.
A cute desk with old typewriter and above is Mary Kay’s book covers framed.
A Breeze Inn vignette.
Downstairs bath.
I love the old watering cans and pails she has collected.
A warning for guests…Careful you’ll end up in my novel.
The kitchen with white cabinets and lime green walls. You know I love this!
And that big ole’ cast iron sink makes me smile too.
Such a cute kitchen with the vintage red signs.
A lovely wall.
Vintage curtains too probably made from an old tablecloth.
We sure loved gathering in here and seeing all the cottages up close. The 4 Pike Road, AL ladies stayed in this cottage and they loved it. I can see why. It’s so charming and adorable.
Would love this! Have some dear friends that live in Savannah and this would be a chance to visit them.
Oh my gosh!! I love all of Tybee Island and I haven’t even been there YET!! But I love those little cottages!! So darling!
Would LOVE LOVE to visit Tybee. I LOVE MKA, Savannah and everything about all of it!! 😉
I love that the nostalgic feeling that the island keeps.
I think I would love everything about Tybee Island–especially just being on the beach!
Hubs and I would be so grateful for a break from our challenging year!!
Slowing down would be wonderful!
Anything about Tybee Island I like…….lighthouse, cottages, beach and seafood!
Thanks for the opportunity to win a visit to a cottage there!
I would so love this!
I love everything about Tybee, the Sugar Shack, the shops, the beach etc. I have already bought my beach bike, now I just need to save more money to buy a cottage. That’s why my Google name is Tybeedreamer
Brings back memories of a special weekend just before I found out I was soon to be a mother!
I love all of it. We are already planning a trip there next Summer. I can hardly wait. Thanks for all the great pictures and info!!!
Getting to look for sea shells and listening to the ocean waves would be my favorite things. A little piece of heaven.
I’d love the chance to walk the beach, look for sea shells and sit and watch and listen to the ocean waves. Pretty close to heaven!
I’m from down there but live in Michigan now. I even drug my sweet Michigander hubby down to Savannah to get married in front of the mermaids in Forsythe Square one steamy August night. We went to Tybee on our honeymoon so this would be awesome for us. We could leave the kidlet with family that live in Savannah and steal away for a little getaway. And since I homeschool, it’s perfect for us to NOT be tied to summers only for travel. It’s MUCH easier for hubbs to get off for vacations on non-traditional vacation time, and kidlet and I can go anytime. *fingers crossed*
As an aside, Mary Kay Andrews, being another Savannah/St.Simon’s Island girl herself, has been one of my favorite authors for years now. The first book I read was Savannah Blues, where she renovates a run down beach front resort named, fittingly, Breeze Inn. I’ve read everything she’s written since then.
I just LOVE the “from fun days gone by” vibe of those adorable cottages!
Gosh. The beach, the relaxation, the serenity.
the beach and the serenity — the ocean.
Love all of the beautiful photos! I’ve never been to Tybee Island and I have always wanted to go. The Mermaid cottages look so peaceful! Love the history that goes along with the area as we’ll. I would love to spend some time there with my two grown daughters shopping, sightseeing and dining at the great places I’ve heard so much about. What great memories this would make!
I love the laid-back, casual feel of these cottages… so nostalgic!
