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.

VERY VINTAGE
This is a very cute/vintage cottage. Perfect for a single or couple. The host is very accommodating. The beach house is supplied with everything. The only thing you need to bring is food if you decide to prepare breakfast. My only concern was the bath tub did not seem sturdy. It was hard to get in and out of. The outside shower is nice… but they need to spray for mosquitos. But all and all this beach house was in a perfect location for walking to everything!

Loved the cottage
My husband and I were very impressed with the cottage and location. Everything was within walking distance but far enough away from the traffic and crowds that it was very peaceful. The cottage is tastefully decorated and had everything we needed. It's truly a beautiful little cottage. Thank you so much. We had a great time!

Great Host, Great Location!
The pictures do not do this place justice! Everything was very clean and the check-in process was smooth and easy. The Location was perfect for my wife and I. Quiet neighborhood with only a 5 minute walk to the downtown area and a 2 minute walk to the beach. The hosts were very attentive. Bikes were great to ride around the island and there was even a beach cart that greatly helped getting our gear to beach. We can't recommend this place enough!

We loved Twin Palms Cottage. It was great sitting out on the front porch. The location is a quick walk to the pier and beach. Thank you for letting us use the wagon to carry our beach chairs and umbrella. We enjoyed our stay.

This is a perfect cottage for a couple. Tucked away in a quiet location on Tybee Island. It is only a short walk to the beach and restaurant’s, and the beach on the back river (less crowded) is a block away. Twin Palms Cottage is at the top of our list for places to stay on Tybee Island.

This cottage is in the best location! Quiet street, near the beach and near the dining and shopping. Very nice host and had lots of amenities (beach chairs, wagon, coffee, etc.) It is a small place, but very comfortable for two people.

A piece of serenity for two
Twin Palms Cottage is a perfect get away for two! Quiet, clean, and comfortable, Leuveda has considered every detail to make a relaxing beach vacation. From a beautifully decorated home, that really makes you feel at home, to access to bikes, beach chairs and an umbrella, we had everything we needed and wanted. Twin Palms is within easy walking distance to both the ocean side and Tybee Creek side of the point of Tybee Beach. Restaurants and shops are just steps away, and yet the area is completely quiet and calm once you get within the residential blocks. Leuveda and Ron are so hospitable and communicative. We certainly hope to return!

Wonderful cottage
My wife and I had not gone on a vacation in two years. My wife wanted to go see Savanna and I wanted to stay near the beach. This met both of our wants. Ron and Leuveda are amazing hosts. They were able to give us great suggestions for places to eat and visit to make our time worthwhile. It was so relaxing to just sit on the porch in the evening with the cool breeze. We also loved the sun coming in the upper windows while waking up to the birds singing. The restaurants and beach were close enough to walk to. The beach to view beautiful sunsets is very close to the cottage. I even got to learn about some new food (Brunswick Stew) which I'm going to try and make. :) Overall, this is an amazing place and we highly recommend it. Thank you Ron and Leuveda for a great place to stay! We hope to make it back again.
