Thank you for staying with us at Beach Haven! We look forward to your return visit. love, the Mermaids!
The places very clean and so close to the beach. Parking was the only issue we had it was hard to turn a full size around but got easier as we got use to it.
We loved this property and it was perfect for our family! It was very clean and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were great. The location can't be beat, the beach is half a block away and you can walk to restaurants and shops. The porch is great for relaxing with morning coffee or eating outside. We would definitely come back and stay again!

Beach Haven has the perfect location. The cottage is spacious and nicely decorated. This is my third time at Beach Haven, and it is now my family's favorite place to stay. We have rented from Mermaid Cottages for years. I wouldn't rent from any other. Thank you, Diane and Tammy, for everything!
Don't you just love this vintage home that doesn't feel super vintage? And how close to the beach?! Come and see us again!!

This cottage was just feet from the beach making it a fabulous location! We arrived to an immaculate cottage that made our stay just perfect! Book this one without hesitation- you’ll love it!
Having no stairs to deal with was great for the old folks and the two year old! The house has lots of space, was clean, and the beds were comfy. We had a great time!

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.
This place was a great location to the beach and restaurants and shops! We parked our vehicles and didn’t move them until we checked out. The house was perfect size for our family and had everything we needed!

This property is fantastic! So fantastic that we book it every year for the past 5 years. The mermaids are friendly and help when needed even reach out to us if we leave valuables after our stay. It’s close to the beach and has everything you need to cook after you hit up the IGA. Rooms are big and comfortable. The loft area is my kids favorite. You need to book this place if you’re heading to Tybee to get the real experience.
