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!

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.

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.

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.

Way too much fun

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.
