thank you for staying with us! The home does have parking for 3 - 4 cars depending on how big they are and if they are trucks or large SUV's. The City of Tybee restricts how much cars are allowed to park at Vacation rentals based on the number of bedrooms so we certainly comply with the city ordinances.
Location was perfect, easy walk to the river which is where we spent most of our time. The house was beautiful and very clean. Lots of deck and porch space to hang out in.Communication was really great; we felt very welcomed and appreciated.

Location, location, location was absolutely perfect. Property was clean overall. It would be awesome if motion lights are added outside. This spot is excellent for an extended stay or a short getaway.

We couldn’t love Vitamin Sea and the Mermaids more. Our family (2 grandparents, 2 parents, and 3 kids) have all the space we need to enjoy the most perfect location on Tybee!
The house had plenty of space for 7 adults. It was beautiful and located conveniently near the beach.

We had a fantastic time at this house! It is beautiful and clean. Plenty of space for our group of 7. The property manager was so easy to communicate with and extremely accommodating when I made a special request to adjust the check-in time. Would absolutely stay here again when in Tybee Island!

We are so thrilled Clare that you enjoyed your stay at this beautiful home! Vitamin Sea is a true treasure! Hoping that you will hurry back to Tybee and Mermaid Cottages! Love, the Mermaids
The house is gorgeous and spacious. Great location, close to beach, restaurants and shops. Only suggestions would be to update the beds, provide more towels (washcloths and hand towels) in bathrooms and perhaps a bigger water heater. If more than one shower being used at once, water is lukewarm. We loved the outside decks with seating and the open concept on third floor.
Great location. Very clean. Would stay there again. Only that would have been nicer were some update towels (1st world problem) also some travel size shampoo/conditioner. Other than that perfect stay.
