Step back in time with a stay at Twelve Palms Cottage, a beautifully restored historic Strand cottage located in the Tybee Island Strand Cottages Historic District, proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1925, this charming vintage beach house features 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, comfortably accommodating up to 12 guests with plenty of space for family and friends.

Unwind on the expansive wrap-around screened porch, where you can savor partial ocean views while dining, reading, or simply enjoying the refreshing Tybee breeze. The private pool area is a tranquil oasis surrounded by lush palms and majestic oaks, complete with abundant lounge seating and a charming gazebo—ideal for soaking up the sun or retreating to shade after a day at the beach.

Inside, the cottage radiates historic charm with soaring 10-foot ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, and tongue-and-groove walls and ceilings. The spacious living and dining area invites relaxation and connection with overstuffed sofas, club chairs, and a large dining table for eight.

Each bedroom boasts its own TV, and modern updates include new flooring and a state-of-the-art HVAC system for comfort year-round.

Downstairs, two additional bedrooms—one with two queens and one with three twins—are accessed via an open-air hallway and share classic Tybee open-air showers. A washer and dryer complete the home’s amenities.

Nestled in the coveted “Beachside of Butler” neighborhood, Twelve Palms Cottage is just the third house from the beach and a short walk to downtown Tybee’s shops, restaurants, and nightlife.
