Our Vacation at Tybee Island

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our vacation house. It was a lovely older home with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, fans and air conditioning that worked well and lots of space for the seven of us. We loved all the seating areas. It was just a five minute walk to the beach, shopping, and restaurants. We really enjoyed staying there for the week!

Great Stay-- Great Location!

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: The home is steps from the beach and the location is perfect to park and forget the car! Ample parking for 4 cars (not on the street, so that's a plus). The two bathrooms are not located in the bedrooms, but there is easy access to each one.

Tybee Family Vacation

To be honest, I was a little hesitant regarding the layout of the house… But, upon walking in on arrival, it was very very nice!!! Communication before, during and post visit w Mermaid Cottages reps were fantastic! We were within a pitching wedge to the 17th street beach access ramp! The IGA grocery store was 5 blocks away! Perfect location!!!!!! Thank you Mermaid Cottages for a great trip!! We will be back!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay on Tybee couldn't have been more comfortable, convenient and perfect! The location of Beach Haven can't be beat and the house was very spacious for our needs! We loved hanging on the porch in the mornings and evenings. The kids had a great time and it was awesome being able to walk everywhere on the South end of the island. Thanks Mermaid Cottages for the best vacation we could ask for!

Great getaway!

We enjoyed our stay at Mermaid Cottage. Close to the beach and shops and restaurants. Safe and quiet. Very friendly host and she checked on us multiple times to make sure we are comfortable and if we need anything. Strongly recommend.

Feels like home.

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: From moment we walked in, it felt like home. Although the house has not been updated, it was cozy and comfortable. Had everything we needed plus some. The home was very clean, the rooms were spacious and there was plenty of storage space to tuck away our belongings. Loved the outdoor patio and small storage area, great for storing all our beach toys. Also convenient to have a hose nearby to wash all the sand off. There is plenty of on-site parking. Easily fit 5 cars on our visit. The beach is literally right down the block. Easy walk for active folks, maybe a tad difficult for chronically ill, older or the disabled. Thankfully, there is drop spot right at the end of the road if they need to be driven. Super easy access . You can’t get much closer than you already are by simply walking out the driveway. Perfect location with restaurants and shops within walking distance as well. The pier is just down the way and the town hosts occasional concerts and actually had fireworks while we visited. Last but not least, I can’t say enough about Mermaid Cottages. Wow! Just wow! They went above and beyond every step of the way. Professional and knowledgeable. Quick to respond and even checked in on us. I would highly recommend this home and company.

My overall impression of the house was that it was in a perfect location and it comfortably accommodated me and seven others. The staff was incredible and responded quickly to a situation and rectified the problem in a professional manner. I look forward to staying with them again!

Great location, interesting layout

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house has a great location a few minutes walk to the beach. It is near the more touristy side of Tybee, which is OK but I think we prefer to stay further north on the island. It should be noted that there is an apartment attached to this house in which someone lives. We were not aware of that when we rented the house. We have stayed in a few Mermaid Cottages, and this one had lots of space, but was our least favorite. Other cottages felt more newly updated and better maintained. The layout of this house was unique - two bedrooms on one side of the house, with the fridge in the hallway, the kitchen in the middle, and then one bedroom right off the dining area, and the two twin beds in the open loft in the living room.
