I love Palm Cottage so very much! I got a chance to do a tiny bit of fluffing today and it made me very happy to be back inside. The cottage is 670 square feet of wood and widows and wonderful memories.
In 1996, I saved it from being torn down. I bought a lot on Tybee and moved the cottage and restored it. I set a personal goal to have on the cover of Coastal Living Magazing. I wanted to "show the world" how important it was to save and restore- NOT TEAR DOWN pieces of our island's history or any island.
I worked so many hours and spent so much time and so much money bringing it back to life. Often times I doubted my own sanity..............as did others!
It made the cover of the magazine in 2000, but most importantly it opened the eyes of so many to just what great potential there is in old buildings.
PS...the cottage can be rented through

Look at your 'windows over windows' in the back bedroom and elsewhere - just imagine the space without them! I bet Palm Cottage loves you right back Jane.
The Palm Cottage has always been one of my favorite Jane Coslick cottages. I love the exterior colors and the double screen doors. It's great to see if fluffed. You're an amazing talent.
Hi Jane,
Palm Cottage is wonderful! Thanks so much for saving these gems...treasures from the past. I'm so happy to find your blog after reading about you at The Lettered Cottage. I visited Savannah and Tybee recently with a friend and we were trying to decide where to stay. I almost emailed Layla to ask how to check cottage availability, but I thought it was probably too late...would be all booked up. Can't wait to go back sometime...hopefully sooner than later. :)

P.S. I visited Isle of Hope for the first time on my recent trip and I was completely smitten. Beautiful place. Here's a link to a post I did about it. I loved the third home down in that post so much, I've made it my wallpaper on my computer. :)
I just remembered, Layla mentioned in a comment that she thought you may have owned one of the homes I showed in that post at some point in the past. Sorry for such a long comment...I get so excited talking about these beautiful old homes.
Oh, here's the post in case you have time to check it out:
