About
About Desoto Beach Hotel Tybee Island
Tybee Island’s only beachfront hotel—where history meets the sea.
Perched directly on the sands of Tybee Island, the DeSoto Beach Hotel blends Southern hospitality with timeless oceanfront charm. As the island’s only true beachfront hotel, it offers the luxury of waking to the sound of waves and walking straight onto the beach.
Behind its cheerful façade lies a mix of modern rooms, a heated outdoor pool, and inviting lounge areas with sweeping Atlantic views. Each morning begins with a light continental breakfast, while nearby attractions like Tybee Pier, Marine Science Center, and Fort Pulaski make exploring easy.
Whether it’s a quiet getaway or a family escape, this Tybee favorite offers the perfect coastal pace—unhurried, sunlit, and unmistakably Georgia.
