Twin Palms Cottage

Twin Palms Cottage, on the southern end of Tybee Island, is a short walk to the beach, pavilion, popular restaurants, shops, Back River beach and fishing pier. A small, charming, authentic cottage for serious cottage lovers, it's a place to relax, unwind and escape to a slower time.

This enchanting one-bedroom cottage is nestled under twin palms, their fronds rustling in the summer breeze. It is just steps away to the beautiful Back River beach, barefoot strolls in the sand, and breathtaking sunsets. It represents the classic guest cottage with French doors, painted wood floors, bead board walls, wicker and vintage furnishings.

You are greeted by a cheerful screened porch with a swing and comfortable sitting area. Here you can enjoy your morning coffee, an afternoon drink, or read late into the lazy summer nights. It's also a fun place to watch the kayakers and paddle boarders go by as they head across the street to Alley 3, the Back River launch and beach area (only 175 steps away).

When you open the French doors you are immediately inspired by the cottage's attractiveness and delightful personality. Inside you find a comfortable queen bed, clothed in layers of fresh cotton and lace, waiting to enfold you after an exhilarating day at the beach or on the river.

You will certainly enjoy the kitchenette area, with its table for four, and collection of antique dishware for your everyday use. The kitchenette also includes a sink, small refrigerator, microwave, coffeemaker and toaster.

Mary Kay Andrews, New York Times bestselling author, chose this adorable cottage as a haven where she penned several of her books at this same kitchen table before she purchased two Tybee cottages of her own!

The large charming bathroom includes an English washstand, dressing area, and a claw foot tub with shower, although the enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water is usually preferred to wash that sand and salt away!

Guests also enjoy a large covered outdoor space with abundant seating, including a swing large enough for an afternoon nap, plus a dining area, gas grill, and bicycle use. Once your car is parked, you can walk or ride a bike to almost everything, including the grocery store.

Linens, high speed wireless internet, and flat screen tv are provided.

Twin Palms Cottage (formerly Garner Cottage) is located in a quiet residential area on the south end of the island where Fifth and Tybrisia meet Chatham Avenue. The owners live on site.

Our customers tell us they can't get enough of this cottage's great location. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Tybee Island Beach. Enjoy your stay with amenities like a kitchen and a patio in the cottage.

Cozy Cottage in Great Location

We enjoyed our stay at the Twin Palms cottage in early July. Very cozy with everything you need to relax on Tybee. The outdoor shower is great and the screened porch on the front is an awesome place to just relax. It's an easy walk to the beach by the river or to AJ's for dinner!

This little cottage was just perfect! The location was great… near to the beaches and restaurants but also quiet. It was very clean and comfortable and the owners are friendly and accommodating. People walking by stopped a couple of times to exclaim over how adorable the place was. We can’t wait to come back!

The cottage was the perfect location for our very relaxing trip to Tybee Island! It is clean, comfortable, cozy, and very well appointed. It is also perfectly situated close to the beach and restaurants while still far enough away to be peaceful! Definitely hope to return!
