Our stay has been excellent. The location is a short walk to the beach. We also walked to shop and eat at local places. Rick is awesome at preparing breakfast and giving his history of the area. We highly recommend the stay and enjoy a relaxing time on the beach.

Came to Savannah for our Honeymoon and wanted to spend a night by the beach… picked this place mostly at random and am SO GLAD we did! The property and rooms are cute and unique, with so much more character than your big hotel/motel establishments… but what completely took us by surprise and made the whole journey worthwhile was the inn keeper Rick! He made delicious breakfasts and kept us enthralled and entertained with his stories of his Scottish heritage and artifacts, as well as Savannah history. His service and friendliness was above and beyond, we would gladly come here again just to hear more of his stories! Thank you for helping make our trip so memorable!! ~ Randi and Dale

Liked: Amenities
I greatly enjoyed my time here and wish I’d had more time to enjoy the inn itself. There are two upstairs “porches”, one with a hammock and the other with rockers. The breakfast is scrumptious and thoughtfully prepared. The inn keeper is friendly, well versed in local and world history, very helpful and responsive to guest requests and needs. The location is great- a couple minutes walk and you’re on a gorgeous stretch of beach looking at the Atlantic. The inn keeper even had coffee ready for me so I could enjoy it while watching the sun rise over the ocean.

Traditional Inn

The innkeeper, Rick, is a wonderful Scotsman with a wealth of historical knowledge about the inn and the area (and more). He cheerfully greeted us every morning wearing a kilt of his family tartan. Every morning he also lovingly made a wholesome breakfast and made my husband and I feel like family. I wholeheartedly recommend booking the Desoto Bed and Breakfast for a comfortable stay steeped in tradition.

This was such a great place to stay right on the beach. It was clean and comfortable. The best part about it was our wonderful host, Rick MacDuff. He made us a wonderful breakfast every day and set out wine and cheese every evening. He told such great stories and was so informative. A really interesting man. He truly made our stay the best experiencewe ever had.

The owner, Rick, told us he hoped our stay at the bed and breakfast would feel like a home away from home. It certainly did! The breakfasts were delicious; the atmosphere, peaceful; the establishment, beautiful and clean. Rick was a delight to meet - knowledgeable, kind, and happy to serve. We recommend this bed and breakfast.

This was a unique place with a lot of history. It was comfortable like someone’s home although our room (the Butler room) was quite small and did not have a table or any place to set things down. The very positive aspect of the B&B was the fantastic breakfast prepared by Rick and his knowledge of the history of the area. Well done

The B&B was exactly what was needed for an overnight on Tybee Island, my first visit. It was clean and charming and I very much enjoyed the hospitality of the innkeeper, Rick! He was not only gracious as the host but full of historic insights. The kilt attire as he served a delicious breakfast was wonderfully unexpected for this Scotch-Irish American girl! We’ll be back as my daughter attends SCAD in nearby Savannah.

Great location, difficult nights sleep.

Inn keeper was fabulous. The room though was eh. Very hot and the closet floor was wet and smelled weird. The lights are on in the house all night so it was super bright. Made for a hard nights sleep. Location is great for a walk on the beach though!

We enjoyed our stay! Very quaint, very clean! As indicated in the advertisement we were to have someone there to greet us at check in- there was not..we went next door to check in as told to us by others in the courtyard at the time.. Breakfast was supposed to be from 830-10.. breakfast was being prepared at 7am- noisy for those staying in the Butler Room that may want to sleep in.. breakfast was on the table promptly at 830.. would not have been able to have breakfast later than that.. we did enjoy our time but just a couple of points that may upset some guests
