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.

    This was our greatest vacation ever!! Everything was perfect! Definitely will return! The cottage was exactly as described. It was cozy and nostalgic. Our hosts were the best!! The outside shower was our favorite. You could shower outside. Shampoo conditioner and body soap along with hot water. Then just head into the bathroom. No sand inside!! Ten Stars from us!!

    The Twin Palms Cottage was the perfect spot for us to stay for a long weekend and had everything we needed. The best part about this rental is the bikes (and beach equipment if you need it). We usually rent bikes every year and it was nice that we did not have to this year. The screened-in front porch was our favorite spot, but everything about the house is charming. It was also extremely clean, had snacks, and anything else we may have needed. The Garners are wonderful people and we so appreciate their hospitality!

    Cool little room and we enjoyed our stay! It was small but just enough for our long weekend. Very close to the fishing pier on the back side of the island (5 minutes, if that), and walkable to all of the restaurants, shops and the main beach. We had a great time!

    This tiny house was even better in person! There is a small walk-in closet with a dressing table just off of the bathroom. The bed is SUPER comfortable with lux cotton bedding and down and feather pillows. The front porch is a perfect living room. This end of the island is very quiet, the beach is very close and I enjoyed walks. Savannah is just 30 minutes away. The hosts are lovey and present but not intrusive. Highly recommend.

    This cottage was so nice that I decided it should be the place to have our wedding ceremony and photos. Mr. & Mrs. Garner were so sweet to let us do this, as it was a very last minute decision. We also got to take photos on the beach, just a short walk away. My husband and I will never forget this most joyful and memorable experience. Thank you Ron and Leuveda, so much!

So close to everything, yet quiet and away from the crowds. Our hosts were friendly and helpful. Great breakfast recommendation Ron! We enjoyed biking the island, walking the beach and relaxing on the porch. We love Tybee and hope to be back soon!

    This cottage is beautiful - every detail has been thought through - and the hosts are absolutely lovely people. The amenities are incredible as well - I just wish I had more time to immerse myself in downtime on the island (I was there for a wedding). The island is an incredible destination, and staying in this cottage was a treat. I felt so relaxed and inspired and I didn’t want to leave! I will be going back for sure!
