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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

The perfect getaway cottage

I came on a solo trip as a part of my own healing process and felt very safe and comfortable on Tybee Island and at Palm Cottage. The cottage has everything you would need and feels very home-like due to its decor. Lots of seating areas, and the perfect screened-in porch, which was essential with all of the mosquitos on the island. The cottage was about a 2-3 minute bike ride to the public beach access. Owners were very communicative, I would definitely come back to Palm Cottage with family or friends!

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 😁

Sweetest stay ever!

We loved the cottage! It was 99% of everything we needed and wanted in a mini vacation: very clean, properly stocked, close to everything and fun to come back to at the end of a beach day. It has lots of outside sitting on the porch, adequate indoor seating for 2 and was delightfully comfortable. The only thing we needed that wasn't available was a dressing/full length mirror. I had to take selfies to double check my outfits. Absolutely everything else was *amazing*.

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.

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.

Lovely stay in a cute cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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 fiancé and I stayed here for three nights recently and really enjoyed our stay. The cottage is in a great location - about a 10 minute walk to the beach and a 25 minute drive to downtown Savannah. We really enjoyed getting to eat breakfast on the screened-in porch every morning. The only thing I wish we had known ahead of time is that the curtains are all sheers, including in the bedroom, and there are no curtains on the doors to the porch. This means the cottage gets lots of natural light during the day, but it can make it hard to sleep in. I recommend bringing a sleep mask and a robe. The washer and dryer are small but worked well, and the closet in the bedroom was well-stocked with towels.
