Property Description
Own a piece of Tybee history. Set on approximately 0.7 acres, one of Tybee Island’s larger residential lots, The Quarters at the Commissary, circa 1907, originally served as Fort Screven’s Commissary and Quartermaster’s Office. Meticulously restored in 2017–2018, this historically significant property was transformed into three distinctive luxury residences while preserving its military heritage. The restoration earned a 2019 Historic Preservation Award from Historic Savannah Foundation and the 2020 Excellence in Historic Preservation Award from the Tybee Island Historical Society. Distinctive features include a slate roof and a preserved elevator believed to be the oldest in Chatham County. Rendered inoperable for safety, the historic elevator remains a striking reminder of the building’s original purpose. The full, 4,160-square-foot basement, a rare coastal feature, provides substantial additional space and is not included in the property’s more than 8,000 square feet of living area. An exterior wheelchair lift serves Unit 1, to improve accessibility. Two electric vehicle chargers and 2 golf cart chargers add modern convenience. Together, the three quarters offer 11 bedrooms and 9 full bathrooms, accommodating up to 30 guests. A detached one-bedroom caretaker’s cottage adds flexibility. The expansive grounds and separate residences offer possibilities for a multigenerational family compound, continued short-term rental use, or a residential bed-and-breakfast, subject to applicable approvals The Quarters are being sold furnished and turn-key. Currently operating as a short-term rental, the property offers an opportunity for a new owner to obtain an STR license under the one-time sale provision of Tybee’s new ordinance, effective January 2027, subject to qualifying closing dates and City application requirements.
