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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Fantastic cottage
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I stayed in this cottage on our first trip to Tybee Island, and the cottage was just what we hoped. It is light and airy with a lot of windows and a nice screened porch. Centrally located, it was within walking distance of the beach and the main drag on Tybee, and we found ourselves walking often. The management team was also courteous and professional. We would book this cottage again on our next trip to Tybee.

Love Coming to Tybee
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cottage is in the perfect location to the beach and south end businesses. Easy to walk. The screened porch at the cottage is it's outstanding feature. We love being out there. And the deck is a great alternative. We also appreciate there is a charcoal grill---although it's not in great condition. We bring our own grate. Hope they replace it with another charcoal grill. In general the cottage is clean and pleasant. We did have a rodent problem that included excrement in the cottage. Although we were told by a couple of folks that someone would come out and address it, they never did. Tybee cottages did give us a small refund because of this. We stay in this cottage every year and hope to again next year. However, we will have a discussion about the rodent issue before we make a payment. We'd highly recommend this place for 2 people. It is quaint and comfortable.

Peaceful and relaxing, but...
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: The cottage is charming, and everything looked clean. The screened-in porch is simply to-die-for.But: the kitchen really needs a step stool for shorter people. I had to rely on my travel companion to get dishes down for me.And the really big but: the bed she used off of the living room? Had mouse poop in the sheets!!! Disgusting. Thankfully since there’s a washer/dryer and detergent, she washed the sheets and put them back off. But that was almost a deal-breaker. Also, I left my (very expensive) pillow there. If I pay for shipping, would you be able to send it back to me?

The perfect, most charming cottage for our family of 4!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay at the Palm Cottage! We arrived the last week in July so as soon as we opened the door, the AC was blasting and couldn't have felt better! The cottage was everything and more! Beautiful decor, extremely and I mean extremely clean, and just wonderfully kept. It was BEAUTIFUL! Everything was provided, we only needed food of course :) Much bigger than what I expected it to be. My young teenagers enjoyed their private part of the cottage w their own beds. The books, games and such were a wonderful addition which they enjoyed. Such a short walk to the beach and the IGA. I do recommend reserving a golf cart as soon as you arrive. Tybee Golf Carts rental were very friendly and accomodating. We found it the best way to see the entire island, especially the lighthouse, and getting to most restaurants (especially Huckapoo's). If I may, one upgrade I suggest (small, but needed) is to put new temperature dials on the stovetop. They have all but disappeared. When using multiple burners, it became difficult remembering how hot the settings were of each item. But, overall an incredible stay! I highly recommend! A wonderful vacation and lots of memeories made for our family! Do not look elsewhere.
