Butler House! 1st Mayor family's home.Nat'l HistoricRegister in Tybee Island

Step back into history as you become a part of the Butler family love
affair with Tybee. H.G. Butler, a lumberman from Nova Scotia and
Ireland, came to the area in 1860. He was Tybee's first Mayor! This
historic "Tybee raised cottage" has been totally redone in the last
two years, but the flavor of the past has been carefully maintained.
Thus, it has been nominated for a Georgia Trust Historic Preservation
Award and is on the national historic register of historic places!
You'll adore the uniquely "old south" comfort of over 1,000 square
feet of the upstairs wrap around screened porch! All rooms are
lovingly furnished with a mix of wicker, rattan and family antiques.
The mayor's bed is still in the house for your use!
The house offers two levels with separate entrances; it's perfect for
two families, groups of friends, or branches of one family that
desire some privacy. The home is situated on two large lots. Bring
your boat, bikes or badminton set, etc. There's plenty of room and
secure storage underneath! Parties of up to 8 may rent just the upper
level.
On the upper level you'll find the wonderful porch, an expansive
living room (with a queen sleeper sofa), large kitchen (eat-in), two
spacious bedrooms (each with a queen AND a twin bed), and a large art
deco bathroom! Downstairs is the latticed ground level. Wooden gate
doors open to a covered area for seating and lazy conversations.
Inside doors access three bedrooms, two with a queen bed each and one
with a twin; one queen bedroom has a private walk-in tiled shower
with toilet. There is a separate half bath with sink and toilet for
all to use. Outside is an outdoor shower and a back stairway leading
up to the main porch kitchen area.
Thirteen can sleep in beds (including the sofa bed) and there is a
queen futon on the screened porch for sleeping if someone chooses to
enjoy the ocean breezes overnight!
NOTE: JUST THE UPPER LEVEL OF THE HOME CAN BE RENTED FOR SMALLER
PARTIES OF ONE TO EIGHT. (You will not have keys for lower level.)
20% off rate of whole house for upper level only!
The unique flavor and charm of Tybee's historic masterpiece, Butler
Beach House, will enchant you. We look forward to having you visit
for years to come! Warmly, Anita Butler and Paula (Butler)
Williams...great-granddaughters of H.G. Butler! It's our pleasure to
be your hostesses as we share this island treasure with you!
