House was adorable, location was great. Loved the screen porch and the operable windows. Had everything we needed for a short stay.Note to management: recognize that the house is old and all the "charm" that comes with it, but the main bathroom might need a little TLC. Some water damage where the tub meets up with the vanity and probably overdue for some updates.

Dreamy, bright, and comfy

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: The cottage was so wonderful. It's a historic little spot in a great location-not far from back beach. It was super clean and the AC was cranking! The beds are kind of firm, but we still slept well. I will try and get this cottage every time I visit Tybee from now on. I am so happy no one has ever given this cutie the "airbnb treatment" aka grey flooring and modern industrial lighting. It's so cozy and lovely. The screened in porch is wonderful for those afternoon rain showers, and the outdoor shower is perfect for a rinse before tracking sand into the house. Having two toilets was also great since there were 3 adults, one of whom is pregnant. 10/10 stay.

Perfect Island 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: 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.

Great location, and cute property. The place has everything you need, although we did not get the chance to cook there.The screen patio would be nice to enjoy, except it was too cold when we stayed, it would be a enjoyable experience when weather is nice.

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

Reviewer Comments: This was the third time we have stayed in Palm Cottage, and while it has been quite a few years since the last time, it was like returning to an old friend. It was just as clean, bright and inviting as we remembered. It’s a little gem, perfect for two people. Thanks for continuing Jim Heflin’s legacy of great service and good maintenance.

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.

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.
