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.

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.

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.

My daughter and I had the pleasure of spending a night at the charming Desoto Beach Bed and Breakfast on Tybee Island, Georgia. On the morning of our departure, we were treated to an exquisite, home-cooked breakfast featuring all the classics—eggs, bacon, sausage, and more—truly a delightful way to start the day. The bed and breakfast is housed in a historic building, and you can feel the rich energy and character of the place as soon as you step inside. The highlight of our stay, however, was the innkeeper, Rick. A true Scottish gentleman, Rick even wore a kilt, which initially made me wonder if it was a mere gimmick. But Rick is the real deal—a genuine Scotsman with a passion for history. In fact, he's an adjunct professor at a local college, and we had the pleasure of engaging in an in-depth, two-hour conversation about World War II. His knowledge and enthusiasm for history were captivating. If you're looking for a relaxing retreat with a touch of historical charm, this is the place to be. I’ll definitely be recommending Desoto Beach Bed and Breakfast to my parents and in-laws, as I’m confident it will exceed their expectations just as it did ours.

WARNING...This property is a SCAM. The pictures and description of the property are completely misleading. We were put in the "honeymoon suite" and it was disgusting. The room has had no updates since the 1970s and the furniture, curtains and carpet were worn out and dirty. We asked to cancel our stay when we saw the room and facilities and they would not. We left anyway. DO NOT STAY HERE!

We had a lovely stay & are sorry we couldn’t stay more than one night. The BnB is well-appointed & comfortable. The host, Rick, is charming & informative — a great cook & an even better storyteller. Highly recommend. We’ll be back.

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.
