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 only thing I would say is that the view of the ocean view was a tinch overrated as you see a phone pole and two other buildings that are close together behind the Inn.

A few steps away from the beach and very central located. We had a wonderful one night stay at DeSoto Beach B&B. Our Atlantic Room was perfect for a couple and we could see part of the beach from our room. Waking up in the morning to the smell of bacon was so inviting. Rick, the Scottish Innkeeper, offered us a gluten free breakfast and his blueberry muffins were the best! We loved chatting with Rick about the history of Savannah and he gave us all kinds of tips for our next visit. It was one of the greatest Bed & Breakfast experience we ever had thanks to Rick.

Everything was perfect !

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.

Excellent full breakfasts. Exceptional, welcoming, informative innkeeper. ‘Make yourself at home’ common area. Not beachfront but a very short walk to it. Bed was super comfortable too.

Restaurants on Tybee are beach-fare. The closest The Deck Beach Bar is the best & but one block away. If a relaxing vaca without having to drive everywhere is your idea this is the spot away from the real crowded beach areas.

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+++

Not a con at all but I traveled solo, with a carryon so I didn't have a beach towel or ice chest to take down to the beach. There is a souvenir store right across the street to purchase these items. It could be useful to have some extra beach towels on hand for guests but again, in no way is not having them an issue. I was there for one night only so purchasing supplies didn't make sense in my situation.

THE REVIEW ASKS WHAT I LIKE FIRST, BUT DOESN'T SHARE IT THAT WAY. ANYWHO..... I'm from Savannah, so being in big houses with Southern charm is definitely home for me. Desoto Beach blends modern with traditional in this classic yet comfortable B&B.They prepared good breakfasts, kept fresh baked chocolate chip cookies in the kitchen, and served red & white wine and cheese & crackers in the dining room each evening. The Butler Room included a picture window view of Butler Ave. and our 2nd story porch had a hammock on one side and a large table where we opted to eat dinner outside in the beach breeze each night.

They have adequate space for guests to store food/drink in their own labeled refrigerator bin or shelf. However, the refrigerator needed to be cleaned.

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.

Parking was a bit crazy, but probably because of the holiday weekend.

The breakfast was charming and would pass for a continental style serving. I would have like to have had access to the morning juice once breakfast was over at 10:00am.

There was really nothing I didn’t like. I was in vacation mode and enjoyed my stay.

The sound of the ocean waves while lounging on the balcony. Seeing the ocean from the balcony. The breakfast was phenomenal. Comfy bed. Quiet house. Great Innkeeper. Just steps from the beach.

The carpet in the room needs a good shampooing.

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.

The only thing that was uncomfortable in our room was the warmth at night. It got very stuffy in the room at night. There is no ceiling fan so the air circulation was bad at night while trying to sleep.
