Water stains on ceiling, carpet looked dirty. Check in desk people were definitely not very friendly. The main common room upstairs smelled old and musty. Definitely wasn't worth 250.00 per night.It was just ok. Pretty disappointed

Can’t say enough about the inn keeper, Rick. His knowledge of Tybee Island and Savannah are unmatched. We enjoyed many excellent breakfasts there as well as his special chocolate chip cookies everyday. We stayed there for 8 nights and was always provided with 5 star service from Rick. Our room was clean and comfortable and very cozy. We got to meet several other couples as well during our breakfasts. Highly recommend this B&B and it is very close to the beach. You won’t be sorry!!!

Having recently returned, I am delighted to share my outstanding experience with Rick, the proprietor of Desoto Bed and Breakfast on Tybee Island. He demonstrated exceptional hospitality, far exceeding our expectations. From our initial interaction, it was clear that Rick was a consummate host, and his charming nature drew a most effusive response. His unique combination of graciousness, humor, wit, and intellectual curiosity made him a true asset to his profession. Rick generously shared stories of his life and family, while also expressing genuine interest in ours, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere reminiscent of a traditional Scottish home. For those seeking an engaging and memorable experience, I highly recommend a stay at this beautifully historic residence, where charm and character abound. Ever interaction will ensure our return. The beautiful rooms were clean and well stocked and cozy, like coming home.

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

Phenomenal

We checked in at the Desoto hotel and were escorted to the B & B by hotel staff. The B and B is a beautiful condo that has 3 guest rooms and a full kitchen available to guests along with 2 common balcony areas, one with a dining area and the other for sitting. There is a dining area where you are greeted by the Innkeeper Rick MacDuff who is from Scotland and wears his klan kilt. The breakfast he and his wife have prepared are all natural ingredients and mostly Scottish influence. Gluten free is used to accommodate most needs. Rick is a scholar of history and teaches local and Scottish history at universities here and in Scotland so shares a vast knowledge of both. Coffee is prepared and ready first thing in the morning and Rick serves breakfast 8:30-10. An added touch is the wine and cheese tray at 5pm each night.

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.
