Beach House Ocean air thru open windows.. barefoot on wood floors.. A special place in time.. When I moved to Tybee Island in 1992. I saw the destruction of so many old beach house for new "bigger is better" generic beach mini mansions.(New is not necessarily better) In my opinion,old houses and cottages have soul. It comes from years of housing families and friends and the making of great memories that last a life time. I had a copy of a book called Family Houses by the Sea. I gave it to all the clients who were considering restoring a wonderful old beach house or tearing it down and building new beach houses. I needed them to focus on the end results.... beyond the rust and crust..... to having a wonderful restored old beach house and having something unique and very special. There are a few very well preserved and amazing old raised cottages on Tybee. I have loved this house and this family sinced I moved in across the street (1992)............................ They have loved and enjoyed it and now it is rented by Tybee Cottageshttp://www.tybeecottages.com/ Randolph Cottage 8 North Lovell Ave. This historic raised cottage is oceanfront. the guest room/guest house............... the sweetest of dreams as the ocean lulls you to sleep the fence..they call it snow fence.
