About this property

Historic + Renovated Cottage Voted 'Most Quaint on Tybee' by Tybee Cottages

Welcome to this stunning cottage, a true gem built in 1935 and lovingly preserved by renowned preservationist Jane Coslick. In 1996, it was moved and saved from demolition, becoming one of her first remarkable rescues, and its timeless charm and beauty were even showcased on the cover of Coastal Living in 2000.

As you ascend the steps to the welcoming screened-in porch, you'll be greeted by quaint and colorful beach decor, setting the perfect tone for a delightful stay. The porch offers a variety of seating options and tables, inviting you to lounge, relax, and soak in the serene atmosphere.

Step inside this sophisticated cottage, all on one level, and be captivated by the warm wood floors, abundant natural light, and delightful splashes of local art throughout. The open sitting, dining, and kitchen area seamlessly blend together, creating a harmonious space for gatherings. A TV and a dining table accommodating up to 5 guests ensure entertainment and dining pleasure.

A small bedroom, tucked off the living room, features two twin beds, offering comfort and privacy with the convenience of a privacy curtain. The master bedroom boasts a queen bed and a full bath with a tub/shower ensuite, providing a serene retreat for relaxation. Additionally, there is a convenient hallway half bath for added comfort.

Outside, a small open back porch awaits sun enthusiasts, adorned with two hand-painted Adirondack chairs, offering a perfect spot to bask in the warm rays. The porch overlooks the shady fenced-in back yard, where you'll find an outdoor shower and a charming picnic table, creating an idyllic setting for enjoying outdoor moments.

Experience the timeless beauty of this gorgeous cottage, where history meets coastal charm, and where every detail has been thoughtfully curated to create a truly enchanting retreat for your stay.

Great location, and cute property. The place has everything you need, although we did not get the chance to cook there.The screen patio would be nice to enjoy, except it was too cold when we stayed, it would be a enjoyable experience when weather is nice.

Cute Cozy Beach Stay

It was the perfect spot for our small group! It was simple and quaint and had all we really needed. The sunroom was by far our favorite spot, any time we were at the house we were out there. Also perfect location - close to the beach, and the shops/ restaurants

The most charming beach cottage!

The Palm Cottage was the most adorable place to stay. It was the perfect getaway! A great place to stay and relax after a long day at the beach! A short walk to the beach and restaurants! Everything you need for a great beach vacation!

Fell in Love with TBI

It was our first time on Tybee Island and each one of us fell in love with it, for different reasons. My mother has come for 3 years, and now we know why she keeps coming back. The food is delicious, the beach is so clean, and the kids were never bored. Can't wait to come back.

SCAD graduation getaway

We loved our stay at Palm Cottage and the proximity to the beach in Tybee. The cottage couldn’t have been cuter and it had absolutely everything we needed for our stay to celebrate our sons’s graduation from SCAD. We said time and again during our four day stay that we were so happy we chose a house at the beach over a hotel room. We loved every minute and liked that we didn’t even have to bring beach chairs.

A little Slice of Paradise

The Palm Cottage was perfect for our family of 4. We loved the shiplap interior and screened in porch. At first glance the quaint cottage may appear small, surrounded by larger vacation homes, but it's surprisingly spacious inside and very functional. There's history with Palm Cottage, which made our stay on Tybee Island even more special. We love the Island and hope to return again in the near future.

Adorable Vintage Coastal Cottage

Authentic, historic cottage with beautiful, colorful touches throughout. Loved it! So charming, cute and quaint. Made me feel like I had gone back in time. Lots of character and whimsey. So much better than a hotel! Makes you long for the 'good ole days'... wish it was mine!

Greatest Beach cottage

This is absolutely the coolest cottage we have ever stayed in on the East Coast. The owner thought of everything we could need for our 3-day stay. Location is a 4 minutes from the edge of the water & just around the corner from the OGA. Super quiet neighborhood. Comfy chairs, a good library & just a great upfit of this older structure. Kudos to the owner for this historic restoration.

Everything was perfect! The only thing was that I was never told where the key was. While I was on hold for VRBO I just happened to find it while touching shells in a flower pot 😁

Great location in comfortable cottage

We love the location. The screen porch is perfect. Used back deck a few times when sun was out and chilly. Home is adequately stocked in kitchen. Charcoal grill is great but we used our own grate. The one there is very rusted. Wi-Fi worked very well. Tybee is just a wonderful place to lay back and enjoy 4 weeks of winter when you live in Wisconsin. We’ll be back

Delightful small cottage

Lovely small cottage. Perfect for 1-2 adults. The second bedroom would not offer much privacy as there was only a curtain to pull across the doorway. It’s perfect for children. Great location with an easy walk to beach and grocery store. I’m an early riser so sheer curtains did not bother me. If you are sensitive to light, bring a sleep mask. Scissors and a garlic press would be a nice addition to the kitchen. I’ll come back.

Fantastic stay!

We really, really loved our time here.There were four of us (two couples) and it was the perfect amount of space for us to relax, cook and eat together, while also having our private areas. The space is quaint and has everything we needed for a cozy stay. The weather during our visit was very rainy, so having the screened in porch and puzzles was a great backup option when we couldn’t get to the beach. We had one minor maintenance issue pop up and heard back promptly from the Tybee Cottage team (thank you!). Pros of this stay:- location: easy walk to beach, restaurants, and grocery store - quiet, safe, and friendly neighborhood - screened porch - the best!- beds were very comfortable - outdoor and indoor showers had excellent water pressure- great outdoor area to grill and hang- washer & dryer The only surprises to us were the curtain divider for the room with the twin beds (no door) and the bathroom in primary bedroom is the only on with a shower. The listing mentioned this, but we missed them so flagging for future guests. Neither caused any issues for us!

Adorable Cottage for Two

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My childhood friend and I had a wonderful few days together in this well-furnished vintage cottage. The beds were comfortable with plenty of extra pillows and blankets. There were lots of extra towels, and the kitchen had everything necessary and more. Close to the beach. The neighborhood was well maintained - perfect for walking and biking. Grocery store two blocks away. It was a comfortable drive to Savannah for great shopping and dining. We would recommend Palm Cottage.

Wonderful wee cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the second time I have stayed in Palm Cottage. It’s extremely comfortable with a screened in porch and small side yard for sitting and grilling. Even has an outdoor shower which is a plus for me in the summer. It’s best suited to a couple as you can close the bedroom door. The second bedroom just has a privacy curtain and twin beds- suitable for children. The house was clean with an ample supply of towels. I highly recommend this property. Short walk to the beach and small IGA grocery store.

Cottage experience

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cottage should not be advertised as a two- bedroom cottage. It has one bedroom and a porch with two twin beds. The porch has no door. The windows have no shades. All of the curtains in the entire cottage are see through. The neighbors we kind enough to let us know this. The cottage is cute, but it is not two bedrooms. Put a door on the porch. Add some wood shutter shades to block off the windows from the kitchen. Maybe then it could be advertised as a two bedroom. Several simple maintenance items - shower diverter needs to be replaced it is only partially working. Shower curtain is too short (hint add double shower curtain rings.) Several areas of the flooring have weak spots and need to be replaced (in front of refrigerator and at porch entry area) The place has everything you need. Great location. The place is tidy but could have been cleaner - surfaces were not cleaned as well as they could have been. The place is perfect for a couple with two kids.

Reviewer Comments: This was the third time we have stayed in Palm Cottage, and while it has been quite a few years since the last time, it was like returning to an old friend. It was just as clean, bright and inviting as we remembered. It’s a little gem, perfect for two people. Thanks for continuing Jim Heflin’s legacy of great service and good maintenance.
