I’m not bragging… Oh wait. Maybe I am. This October weather on Tybee Island is absolutely INCREDIBLE, and I feel obligated to keep mentioning it until somebody up north throws a pumpkin at me. Warm sunshine. Beautiful beach days. And me, demonstrating tremendous restraint by only bringing it up every seven minutes. Need an excuse to come join us at Hotel Tybee and soak up the sun? I’ve got you covered:

MY TOP TEN EXCUSES TO COME TO TYBEE:

“I need to check on the ocean.” It’s been making waves. Someone should investigate.

“My doctor said I need more vitamin D.” I’m assuming. We haven’t actually discussed it.

“I’m working remotely.” Very remotely. Possibly from a beach chair.

“The Halloween candy needs supervision.” I’m removing myself from the house for its protection.

“My flip-flops are experiencing seasonal depression.”

“I need to prepare for winter.” By aggressively refusing to participate.

“I’m conducting research.” The subject is whether I can hear my responsibilities over the ocean.

“Someone has to support the local economy.” I’m prepared to start with shrimp.

“My out-of-office message deserves a chance to shine.”

“Brett said I should come.” There. Blame me. I’ve been blamed for considerably worse.

Now it’s YOUR turn! 👇 Post your best excuse below. Extra credit if it sounds believable enough to tell your boss.

I’ll be here at Hotel Tybee, bravely monitoring all this sunshine. Somebody has to.

I NEED YOU TO BUY A TICKET, EAT SOME SHRIMP, AND DO SOMETHING WONDERFUL FOR OUR COMMUNITY. Finally… a to-do list I can get behind! Tickets are on sale for the FIRST-EVER Tybee Seafood Festival’s Friday Night Lowcountry Boil & Oyster Roast at Hotel Tybee’s Grandview Event Center!

Fresh oysters, fresh Georgia shrimp, appetizers from local restaurants, and Dr. J and The Boat Docs playing live while we demonstrate why some of us should require a permit to dance. Wear your stretchy pants. These are fundraising pants now.

❤️ This is a MAJOR fundraiser for HUGS, which helps make quality mental health counseling accessible through professional clinicians who volunteer their services. These are our neighbors, friends, and families who need support and someone to turn to. My beautiful wife, Lorrian, is HUGS’ chairperson. I see firsthand the tremendous time, energy, and heart she pours into helping people in need, and I couldn’t be prouder.

She gives her time, leadership, and whole heart. I’m contributing shrimp and people with questionable dance moves. Marriage is teamwork.

📅 Friday, November 13, 2026
🕖 7–10 p.m.
📍 Hotel Tybee’s Grandview Event Center
🎟️ $50 per person includes oysters, Lowcountry boil, appetizers & live music!
🍹 Cash bar available.

MAKE IT A GETAWAY! BOOK YOUR ROOMS EARLY AT HOTEL TYBEE AND SAVE 20% DURING THE WHOLE WEEK OF SEAFOOD FEST! You’re not extending your trip… you’re giving the shrimp time to settle.
BOOK YOUR STAY: www.hoteltybee.com

Tickets are limited—buy early! Grab your friends, share this post, and help me fill this room for HUGS. I want nothing left but empty oyster shells and video evidence of somebody’s husband who “doesn’t dance.”

HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM… HOTEL TYBEE JUST WON THE INTERNET! So apparently, someone decided to launch a rocket into space this morning WITHOUT checking with me first. Rude. Very rude.

But being the gracious host that I am, I allowed them to use the sky above Hotel Tybee for their little science project. You’re welcome, NASA. And WOW!!! WHAT. A. SHOW.

I’ve seen some absolutely incredible pictures of this morning’s launch floating around the internet, but I’m going to say something incredibly humble…OURS IS BETTER.

I mean, COME ON!!! Look at that picture! We’ve got a rocket, a spectacular glowing sky, palm trees, and Hotel Tybee looking like it just became the official beachfront headquarters of the United States Space Force!

I’m not saying NASA should relocate its operations to Tybee Island, but we’ve got two pools, a splash pad, a tiki bar, and ocean views. Cape Canaveral, WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?!

Just another ordinary morning in paradise… where even the rockets know the best view is from Hotel Tybee!

PIRATES FEST… TAKE A BOW! What an AMAZING weekend! The parade, the music, the carnival—and grown adults discovering that “pirate swagger” looks a lot like trying to walk after the UFO ride (I broke my own personal record...how many times did you ride it???). A HUGE thank-you to everyone who came out and made it so special!
And Mother Nature? GIRL, YOU UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT. We did not stay 100% dry, but you delivered nearly perfect weather and beat that forecast by a nautical mile. A few sprinkles barely had time to dissolve the powdered sugar in my beard! So… now what?
Rest? Recover? Eat a vegetable?
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
I am trading my pirate hat for a bib as we gear up for the FIRST ANNUAL TYBEE ISLAND SEAFOOD FEST, NOVEMBER 8–15! Restaurant specials, seafood, music, and island fun—it is going to be GREAT! I spent Pirates Fest saying “ARRR.” In November, I will mostly be saying “Pass the butter.” Mark your calendars, round up your seafood crew, and start planning your Hotel Tybee getaway!

Apparently, my event-planning strategy is just finding increasingly festive ways to feed myself.

SATURDAY’S FORECAST: SCATTERED SCREAMING WITH A STRONG CHANCE OF FUNNEL CAKE. Hotel Tybee’s carnival is open TODAY FROM NOON–11 PM, and I am ready for another round of rides, pirate shenanigans, and a turkey leg that requires its own seat belt. As for the rain? It comes and goes—and spends more time GONE than hanging around. It has commitment issues. I understand. I have also said “just one ride” and disappeared for four hours. A passing shower is simply my complimentary powdered-sugar removal service. Very fancy. Usually you pay extra for a spa treatment like that.

Round up the kids, grab your pirate crew, and come make some memories! Pirates Fest is in full swing, and I refuse to let a cloud have a better social life than you.
Admission is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
Scan the QR code for $35 ride tickets and FOUR GLORIOUS HOURS of rides.

NIGHT TWO IS UNDERWAY, AND APPARENTLY I NEED A CHAPERONE.
Our first night at Hotel Tybee’s carnival was a BLAST! It sprinkled for a few minutes—just enough to cool me down from running around like somebody left the gate open at adult daycare. I FINALLY got my funnel cake. Loved the UFO ride and pirate ship. Got DOUBLE DARED onto the wild slide, because apparently my decision-making process is just “Well, now I HAVE to.” They literally had to pull me off the Ferris wheel. I was prepared to establish residency.
And the turkey leg?! Somewhere, a dinosaur is hopping around looking for it. We are ALREADY OPEN and celebrating night two until 11 PM! TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT—come join the fun and this incredible Pirates Fest weekend!
FREE ADMISSION • OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
Scan the QR code for $35 ride tickets: FOUR HOURS!

ODE TO A FUNNEL CAKE
'Twas the night before carnival, and all through Tybee,
I dreamed of fried dough looking lovingly at me.

I had dressed like a pirate, all rugged and mean,
Till powdered sugar exploded all over the scene.

“Just one little bite,” I announced to my crew.
Then inhaled half the plate before anyone knew.

My wife said, “Brett, you have sugar on your nose.”
I said, “That is pirate glitter. It comes with the clothes.”

The rides open tomorrow! Come join in the fun.
I will share my excitement. The cake? You'll have to get your own.

JUST ONE DAY AWAY. THIS IS NOT A DRILL… although I can hear several out there. The rides are getting set up for HOTEL TYBEE’S CARNIVAL, and I am supervising with the enthusiasm of a six-year-old.
“Is that ready?”
“Can I ride it?”
“How about now?”
