Welcome to 1115 Jones Avenue, a historic raised cottage compound nestled on a half-acre corner lot on Tybee Island. This 3,250 square foot property offers 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms across four separate living units, with marsh views and a gunite pool.
Built in 1924 by the Tybee Beach Company as “Spec Cottage A,” the year after Tybee Road opened, this was the first example of a Tybee raised cottage on the island. Today it is sold fully furnished and turn-key, with an active short-term vacation rental (STVR) certificate. The home itself boasts:
- Main Residence: The upstairs 3 bedroom, 3 bath unit features original hardwood floors, a spacious living area, and a custom kitchen with granite countertops open to the dining area and sunroom.
- Screened Porches: Each unit in the main home has its own screened porch, and the upstairs unit adds a large screened wrap-around porch with a ping pong table and stair access to the pool.
- Separate Units: Two 1 bedroom, 1 bath units downstairs, each with a full kitchen and washer/dryer, plus a private 360 sq ft studio cottage in the backyard overlooking the marsh.
- Outdoor Living: A gunite pool and a covered outdoor kitchen pavilion set on the half-acre corner lot, with plenty of parking for guests.
- Rental Opportunity: Live on-site and rent the other three units. The existing STVR certificate is eligible for a one-time transfer beginning January 1, 2027, subject to City requirements and approval.
- Location: Just four blocks to the beach and within walking distance of local restaurants.
This isn’t just a beach house, it’s a piece of Tybee history with room for family, guests, and income, all a short stroll from the sand.
