Eclectic, beachy, and full of Tybee charm, 1017 Lovell Avenue is a truly special mid-island retreat just moments from the beach. Set on a large lot just two blocks from the 11th Street beach walkover, this vintage two-story cottage blends relaxed coastal style with resort-like outdoor living, featuring a family-sized inground pool, an inviting screened porch, and a one-of-a-kind tiki hut that creates the ultimate backyard escape. Inside, the home is filled with personality and great design choices throughout, offering a fun, curated aesthetic that feels both laid-back and memorable. The main level flows beautifully for everyday living and entertaining, while the upper level opens to a deck overlooking the pool. The fully fenced yard offers exceptional privacy and flexibility, with plenty of room to lounge, gather, and enjoy the island lifestyle. Located in the heart of Tybee, just a short walk or bike ride to restaurants, shops, Memorial Park, and the beach, this home has been a highly successful vacation rental grossing in excess of $100,000 yearly. Showings will be subject to availability. Currently operating as a licensed STVR. Under Tybee Island's newly adopted STVR ordinance effective January 1, 2027, the purchaser of an existing legally licensed STVR in an R-2 district has a one-time opportunity during the ordinance's 18-month transition period to apply for a new STVR certificate without being subject to the applicable sector cap, provided application is made within 15 days of transfer.
