There's nothing like a good old fashioned water fight.  No where but Tybee could conceive of a unique city wide water fight!  It is so much fun people drive for hours, fly in and boat in to be part of the parade.  Everyone winds up getting wet and enters into the spirit of the water fight.  Plan now to be part of the parade, in fact the whole weekend is great.

Beachside is a family place.  It was developed by the Tommy Clark Family.  They made an honest effort to keeping it for families to come and enjoy. 

Some families come because the kids are little and they want some memories of those times before they slip away.  Others come because time is slipping away and they want to make memories to leave behind.  For some it is a dream come true.  Others just enjoy being together.

This condo is the last three bedroom condo in The Vue.  It features two Master suites and a third bedroom with it's own bath.  There is a glorious view of the ocean and the Beachside pools.  What is not to like?

So, come on in and look around...

Relax and rest a while...

Take a walk on the beach or jump in for a swim...

Wake up to the sunrising over the Atlantic!

               Sorry for my technical difficulties!

  My hard drive died, you know the story... all the new stuff to load, how to use it?  What a time!

But now we are back up and running to tell you how really great it is here at Tybee!

The rental company has been filling up their listings since the first part of March.  The weather has been great and real estate sales traffic has picked up.  Looks like it is going to be a great summer!

Why don't you come on down?!

It truly is sunny and mild today.  The temperature is going as high as 79 degrees and as low as 45.  The most beautiful part of the day is the first part though.  Look at this sunrise taken from the View this morning.

Beachside is a great place to rest and find peace.  We have daily, weekly and monthly rentals plus a few long term rentals.  What could be better than renting?  Buying of course.  You can own the condo this photo was taken from.  And this is a buyers market now.

This wonderful Old Tybee triplex is just steps from the ocean.  It has that Tybee charm that makes the island so captivating. 

Located on Second Ave. behind the Sugar Shack, even the walk across the street to the beach is charming.  The cement gates mark the entrance to the Old Fort Screven.  Then it's just a few steps across the dunes to the beach.On the beach you can head straight for the water, lay out or spend an early morning in the swing while the sun rises.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants a rental investment.  Or you may like to live in one unit and rent out the other two.

Some places have done better during the housing slump than others.  Tybee is holding her own and prices are relatively stable.  The reason is that a most of the properties on the market here do not have to be sold.  Many were just put on the market because the seller wanted to upgrade their lifestyle or get closer to the ocean.

However, the money and mortgage problems are causing some to mark their properties down.  There are a number of good deals to be had.  Today I spoke with another agent about a home listed for over a million.  She commented that these buyers wanted everyone to know they were considering all offers as they had to move to another state. 

So come on down and let us help you find your dream beach house before the prices start to move back up.  Many analysts believe things are going to stabilize early in 2009.

 This condo was a Christmas special and continues to be offered at a great savings to you.  It is Unit 224 in The Vue at Beachside Colony.            $499,000.00

Two bedrooms and two full baths plus a great view of the ocean

Tybee is the perfect stop for northerners who find Florida too hot and are looking at the second home market.  They know they don't want to go back north.  While the taxes and insurance are higher in Florida, taxes on Tybee are even less than those in Savannah.  In fact, Port Wentworth, a small town near the Port Authority is about the same in taxes.  Compared to some of the other Georgia islands and historic Savannah, it is very reasonable.

Tybee  Island is only 3.5 miles long.  Therefore, the demand for property is bound to return to pre-2007 levels.  It is the most convenient coastal area from Atlanta or Chattanooga. The Georgia Association of Realtors and National Association of Realtors are expecting prices and sales to increase by the third quarter of 2008.  So shop now while it's a buyer's market!
