About this cottage rental

Welcome to Palm Cottage, a true Tybee Island gem and one of the most storied beach cottages on the Georgia coast. Originally built in the 1920s as an Army Corps of Engineers dwelling, this 600-square-foot cottage was rescued from demolition in 1998 by renowned Savannah preservationist Jane Coslick for the price of one dollar and moved to its current site, becoming one of her first and most celebrated rescues. Its timeless charm was later showcased on the cover of Coastal Living, and the cottage has since been featured in both national and local publications as an example of what historic preservation can achieve. As you ascend the steps to the welcoming screened-in porch, a favorite spot for reading, relaxing, and entertaining, 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 and soak in the serene Tybee atmosphere. Step inside this sophisticated cottage, all on one level, and be captivated by warm wood floors, abundant natural light, and delightful splashes of local art throughout. Original pocket windows and painted beadboard walls and ceilings, hallmarks of Jane Coslick's signature restoration style, give the interior an intimate, airy character that newer construction simply can't replicate. Open every window and enjoy the wonderful cross-ventilation; with the ocean breeze rolling through, you may never need the air conditioning. The open sitting, dining, and kitchen area seamlessly blend together, creating a harmonious space for gatherings, with a TV and dining table accommodating up to 5 guests. A small bedroom tucked off the living room features two twin beds with the convenience of a privacy curtain. The master bedroom boasts a queen bed and a full bath with tub/shower ensuite, providing a serene retreat for relaxation. A hallway half bath offers added convenience for guests. Outside, a small open back porch awaits sun enthusiasts, adorned with two hand-painted Adirondack chairs — a perfect spot to bask in the warm Georgia rays. The porch overlooks a shady fenced backyard complete with an outdoor shower and a charming picnic table, ideal for post-beach gatherings. Palm Cottage is part of a beloved legacy of historic preservation on Tybee Island, one of several cottages Jane Coslick has rescued and restored to share the simple, soulful pleasures of old beach life with a new generation of guests. An old house, as Jane says, has so much more energy, more passion, and more comfort than a new one. Experience the timeless beauty of this gorgeous Tybee Island vacation rental, where history meets coastal charm and every detail has been thoughtfully curated for an enchanting stay.

Very cute and well executed. I was caught off guard by the different levels of flooring. You step down into the bedroom so I stumbled in the first time. We had to reboot the router to get the WiFi to work. Other than that we loved the place. We would definitely recommend it to anyone except someone with mobility issues. The steps and the floors could be a challenge for some.

Very cozy cottage, and conveniently located on the island. Everything is accessible by bike or walking. 10/10

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: This is the second time my family and I have stayed at the Palm Cottage and we love it. It's located within walking distance, although it's faster to drive your car or rent a golf cart. We love everything about this cottage from the Island decor, the screened in porch, rooms, and so much more. There were very easy instructions on the arrival and departure procedure, and it felt more like a weekend home than a rental property. We will come back to Tybee, because we love it there, and we hope to stay in this quaint cottage again.

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.
