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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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*.

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!

Historic home w/ Good location
This beach house is close to everything. There was ice cream, shops, groceries, the beach and restituants all within reach- just a short walk away. Though it was really hot we were able to walk pretty much wherever we wanted to go on Tybee. The house was clean and cozy and brought all the historic beachy vibes. We would stay here again.

Great spot for walking to beach, grocery store, restaurants, ice cream, shops and even access to Royal Palms Motel pool! Very cute and quaint cottage that was very cozy! Next time we will rent bikes but the walks were fantastic then took a shower outside to cool down! Highly recommend the spot! Great first time at Tybee Island for our little family of 4!

Tybee Time
It's a very quaint cottage, ideal for a couple. There are a few items that need attention. Both showers, inside and out, need more water pressure and new shower heads. We found the grill on its side and one of the legs was off, we had to put it together as best we could in order to grill on it. Would suggest replacing it. The landscaping could use some attention as it is quite overgrown. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

We came to Tybee to celebrate my 38th birthday, and Palm Cottage was perfect. It has such character! Short walk to the beach, close to the IGA when we needed something, and the outdoor shower was a hit with my kids. The porch was my favorite - we had some rain and momma got to sit outside with a book and a glass of wine while the kids watched TV inside. Best week ever! We would definitely come back.
