Author Mary Kay Andrews’ Charming Beach House on Tybee Island

Bestselling novelist Mary Kay Andrews returns to Homeworthy, and this time, we’re at her beloved Tybee Island beach house just steps away from the sand.

Originally built in 1932, her historic cottage, nicknamed Ebbtide, was lovingly restored and transformed into a warm, family-friendly retreat filled with vintage treasures, original artwork, collected antiques and DIY projects.

Over the years, Mary Kay and her husband have renovated the home room by room while preserving its character, creating a space that reflects her signature style. Mary Kay shares the inspiration behind her forever beach house, her love of collecting, and why Tybee Island remains one of her favorite places to write, gather family, and create memories.

Best known for her beloved beach reads, Mary Kay is also celebrating the release of her newest novel, Road Trip, out June 2. Learn more about the book and pre-order your copy here.
