There's a lot of things to think about when buying a condo like,

•  Which communities are best for a "lock and leave" vacation home?
• Is the community FHA approved?
• Can I get an FHA or VA loan?
• Lending on condos can be more difficult than single family homes.  Who are the best lenders to help?

Wilmington Island Condos

   
 
 

On beautiful Wilmington Island in Savannah Georgia, Bull River Bluff condos are an affordable alternative to the more expensive, Tybee Island yet only about 7 or 8 minutes from the beach. Perfect for a vacation home or full time living.

Shopping and restaurants are under five minutes away along the famous Johnny Mercer Blvd, and just fifteen minutes to the Historic District, so the Wilmington Island location is great.

Most of the condos have either a view of the tidal creek or look out over the marsh towards Tybee. Many of the first floor units have either an enclosed sunroom or a screened porch and the upstairs units have vaulted ceilings and a balcony. Built around 1986, the condos vary in flooring and modern upgrades.  The 2 bedroom/2 bath and 3/bedroom/2 bath units range in price from around 129,000 to just under 250,000 depending on size, upgrades and of course the view. Almost all of the units are owner occupied and so the pride of ownership of the community shows.

A great place to live full time or keep as a vacation home!

Amenities include pool and tennis and if you have a boat there are nearby marinas. Golf at the Wilmington Island Golf Club is just minutes away.

 
 

I specialize in Savannah homes and condos, particularly on Wilmington and Whitemarsh Island and there is something for every price range.

Savannah Beach and Racquet Club Tybee Island Condos

Near the Tybee Island lighthouse on north beach lies the beach front condominium community of Savannah Beach and Racquet Club.  Some residents live there year round, some as a vacation getaway and the Racquet Club in popular with investors who purchase units and rent by the week to vacationers. Tybee Island is like a world all unto it's own, yet just a short half hour drive to Historic Savannah, Georgia.

Prices vary from one to three bedroom units and vary in decor from casual to lavish units with custom kitchens and granite counters, spa tubs and flat screen televisions. The cost of the condos are also influenced by the view and proximity to the beach, some under 200k and other units can be upwards of 300k.  In season, even one bedroom units can easily rent for upwards of $800 per week, offsetting your expenses as either a vacation home of an investment property. 

With pools, tennis courts of course, and the beautiful Tybee Beach it's a wonderful place to vacation or call home.  Tybee has a wonderful fun loving community spirit and there's pretty much every water activity imaginable from fishing, jet skis to para-sailing and community events like the annual Pirate Fest and the Beach Bum Parade.

It's a great time to take advantage of the "buyers market" and invest in some affordable beach front property so let me know if you would like more information on what's available on Tybee Island, "Savannah's Beach".

Tybee Island, Georgia - Savannah's Beach

 

 

Tybee Island, Georgia is a small barrier island with a vast and interesting past. Tybee is said to mean "salt" to the Native Americans that once called the region their home. As years passed, pirates became frequent visitors to the Island, searching for a safe place to hide treasure.

Officially renamed "Savannah Beach" in a publicity move at the end of the 1950s, the city of Tybee Island has since reverted to its original name (although maps show the use of the name "Savannah Beach" as far back as 1952 and as recently as the mid-1970s on official state maps).  The small island, less than a half hour drive from  downtown Savannah has long been a quiet getaway for the residents of Savannah has become a popular vacation spot with tourists from outside the Savannah area.

Deep-sea fishing, dolphin tours, kayaking, and bicycling are just a few of the most popular activities. Bird watching is ideal here. In fact, Tybee Island is part of the Colonial Coast Birding Trail, and its acres of salt marshes attract a variety of birds- some of which are endangered. Tybee is perfect for bicycling too. The railroad bed that once connected Tybee Island to Savannah has been redesigned to into a lovely crushed-stone trail. The Old Savannah-Tybee Railroad Trail is 6.5 miles long, and an excellent way to enjoy the natural beauty of this region. Walking, jogging, or bicycling the trail makes for a fulfilling afternoon.

The original Tybrisa Pavilion stood for three-quarters of a century as a landmark on the South Atlantic Ocean. Built in 1891 by the Central of Georgia Railroad, it became a well-known destination for day-trippers and seasonal visitors during a time when advertisements hailed Tybee as the "Premier South Atlantic Resort." Its open dance floor amid a coastal setting made it a legendary stop on the "Big Band" tour and for five decades of entertainers. Fire destroyed it in 1967.

Led by efforts of the people of Tybee Island, Chatham County built the Tybrisa Pavilion II and dedicated it on the 9th of August 1996. The Tybee Pier and Pavilion have become one of the premier entertainment centers in Chatham County.

Tybee residents love to have a good time and besides enjoying the beautiful beaches and seafood there is always something to do, from the Beach Bum Parade to the annual Pirate Fest.

 

Tybee Island Pirate Fest

It's that time again!  Tybee Island, Georgia is all about fun and a good time and their annual Pirate Fest is no exception. This years events kick off at 6pm friday October 10th at Tybee Island Pier and Pavillion.  This is great fun for the entire family.... hope you can make it!
