Dutton Waller Cottage
Escape to Tybee Island's enchanting “Dutton-Waller Cottage,” a slice of history just a stone's throw from the beach. Nestled amid the lush foliage of Chatham Avenue, this vintage gem exudes timeless charm, with four bedrooms offering ample space for your Tybee vacation.
Originally constructed during Tybee's illustrious "golden era" between 1910 and 1939, this historic cottage was officially designated a national treasure in 2008.
Indulge in the perfect blend of old-world elegance and modern comfort as you step inside the Dutton-Waller Cottage. The hardwood floors guide you through three distinct living areas, each designed to cater to your every mood. Whether you're seeking a cozy corner to curl up with a book or a spacious lounge to gather with loved ones, this cottage has it all.
The vintage kitchen was once celebrated in the pages of Southern Living Magazine. This cottage kitchen is the heart of the home, offering plenty of space to prepare meals. Adjacent, the formal dining room sets the stage for memorable meals or take advantage of the large dining table to unplug with your travel companions for a board game that lasts late into the night.
Retreat to the main floor's two inviting bedrooms, where plush queen beds adorned with luxury linens promise restful nights by the sea. A full bathroom with a tub only conveniently separates these two bedrooms. The original cottage staircase leads you to the upper level, where two additional bedrooms await, including an additional charming hideaway with a vintage VCR player, a library of VHS tapes, and plenty of books.
The second full bathroom with a walk-in shower only is off of the lounge area.
Both of the bedrooms on the top floor have queen beds.
Convenience is key at Dutton-Waller Cottage. While staying at this home, you will be within walking distance of one of Tybee’s most popular restaurants, “AJs,” on the back river and the back river fishing pier, and several blocks away from the beaches near the iconic Tybee pier and pavilion. And when you're ready to unwind, the sprawling covered area beneath the cottage provides the perfect setting for gatherings. Conveniently, there is also a full bathroom on this level, while the large outdoor shower and spacious yard offer opportunities for outdoor fun.
Parking for two vehicles.

What a charming beach home! My family and I really enjoyed our stay here for the week. The host was very accommodating and friendly. We had one small hiccup regarding the water heater, but they had someone out to fix it almost immediately. I would definitely stay here again!Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are so happy we were able to get that issue fixed in a timely manner for you and we look forward to seeing you again!

The property management was super prompt and great to work with. We walked into no air conditioning on 2nd floor which they had fixed in 24 hours. They also promptly replaced a gas grill within a few hours when we expressed our concerns using it. They were great with communication. The house itself is charming and has lots of room for a large family. It feels very dated as most of the sinks are original and leak or have trouble using. The kitchen is very cluttered and has little room for counter space or to put food away. There was no frying pan…many of the items are odds and ends which could be thrown away. I think the house could use a deep clean along with cleaning out drawers etc. The upstairs bedrooms are bright and airy. The downstairs bedrooms are dark with little lighting. Overall, the rental company was great but the owners need to update.
Example: “Is the balcony screened in?” or “Is there a toaster oven?”
Example: “Are fresh linens provided?”
