Great cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a cool and rainy Tybee trip this time around, but Clamdigger Cottage offers a perfect retreat from bad weather. The sunroom is a delightful place to read and nap, the kitchen could not be better stocked, and the location is ideal for a quick beach walk between showers. As always, the Mermaids provided exemplary communication and ease—and even a delicious cake for our anniversary celebration. Thank you, Mermaids!

We had a wonderful time at Clamdigger. The house was just we needed. My husband and our 2 boys (9/12) stayed upstairs and our in-laws loved the apartment downstairs. We lived on the front porch from coffee to cocktails. We walked all through the neighborhoods and into town. The beach and river were close so no need to get in the car. The house vibe we perfect retro vacation vibes. Can’t wait to come back.

Perfect Beach Cottage

We absolutely loved our stay! Mermaid Cottages was a dream to work with (excellent communication and customer service!) and the property was stunning! Such a cute retro beach vibe cottage in close proximity to the beach! The room set up was perfect for the 2 families we had - 2 nice rooms for the adults and 1 room that the kids shared. The 2 living room areas as well as the screened in porch area gave us plenty of options on places to hang out and spend time together. Kitchen was spacious and fully stocked with everything we needed to cook the groceries we brought with us and the complementary sample pack of Perc coffee was such a nice treat! We will definitely be back and will recommend to others!

We enjoyed the different living areas inside and out, big kitchen with good appliances and supplies, really comfortable beds, spacious bathrooms. Located within walking or short drive to 3 beach access points, perfect for getting our elderly family member to the south end for surf fishing. Should also mention the artistic decor, interesting collection of board games, and the privacy of the ground floor suite. We enjoyed being on a quiet side street tucked away from the noise of the pier area which was close by.

Lovely property, well maintained , had everything for us to enjoy the beautiful back yard. Games and breakfast every morning. We arrived after midnight all very tired. There was a lovely welcome basket and coffee and tea and breakfast items. We were able to sleep in a little. Grocery stores near by. The house is well stocked with the basics. Our son lives in Albuquerque and we were all out there to celebrate his 60th birthday. Some members had never been to Albuquerque so we did a lot of exploring and enjoyed all the great restaurants. Thank you, Michelle for sharing your lovely home. We are all looking forward to a return visit. Sincerely, Carolyn, Wayne,Corry, Steve,Ethan and Madison A special thanks from Scott, he never would have had enough room for all of us!
