Surrounded by 200 year-old live oaks, palm trees and jasmine vines, this 1938 Tybee Raised Cottage was completely restored to her original glory in 2006. Winner of the Tybee Island Preservation Award and was also featured in the Fall 2006 issue of Secrets of the South Magazine and the YMCA's 2006 Tybee Tour of Homes. Dutton-Waller is one of only 110 Raised Tybee cottages, a local building type developed on Tybee and believed to be unique to the island.

In 2008, Dutton-Waller Cottage was named to the State of Georgia Department of Natural Resources Historic Preservation Division's National Register of Historic Places. Only one of such three homes to be honored in Tybee, Dutton-Waller Cottage is for those who love homes rich in history and architectural detail.

The cottage is located in the Back River area of Tybee Island. Cottages of this type were built from the 1920s through the 1940s as summer homes. The Dutton-Waller Raised Tybee Cottage was built by Blanche S. Waller and Edward A. Dutton in 1938. The interior retains the original, rustic heart-pine paneling and bungalow floor plan. The cottage was remodeled extensively in 2006 with interiors by Jane Coslick. It has been refurbished to remove non-historic changes made in the 1950s–1970s and replace historic elements that had been removed. Dutton-Waller is one of the few such cottages remaining, most having been demolished in recent times.

Indulge yourself in this true family home with original heart of pine walls and floors, high ceilings with chandeliers and ceiling fans, billowy linen curtains to filter the bright sunlight, wrap-around screened balcony and screened porch with views of the back river. Take a bike ride along Chatham Avenue, stroll to the beach, or simply enjoy a game of Monopoly on the back porch.
