Beach Haven

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!

Old Lady Birthday Getaway

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: This was my second stay at this wonderful beach property. It is very clean, very spacious, and the new upgrades have made it even better! I love that is ground level and a very short walk to the beach, shops, and restaurants. It is very well equipped and the beautiful decor makes you feel like you are in a home instead of a rental. Everyone in my party loved the house! Diane Kaufman from Mermaid Cottages went above and beyond to make my 75th Birthday celebration very special! Thank you so much! I look forward to renting this property from Mermaid Cottages again or one of their other properties. They are awesome!

Girls long weekend at Tybee

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: I invited four friends for a long weekend, so I knew I wanted to reserve Beach Haven. It has enough room for all of us and is close to the beach and downtown. And Beach Haven did not disappoint. It was clean and had some updates. Tammy, as usual, was the best at dealing with us. I will continue to rent vacation properties from Mermaid Cottages. And now my friends are believers too.

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: Our stay with Mermaid Cottages on Tybee Island was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The cottage was charming, beautifully decorated, and spotlessly clean—full of thoughtful touches that made it feel warm and welcoming.The location was perfect—just a short stroll to the beach, restaurants, and shops. We spent our mornings enjoying coffee on the porch and our afternoons soaking up the sun and sea breeze. It was the perfect blend of relaxation and coastal charm.What really stood out was the incredible hospitality from the Mermaid Cottages team. They were kind, responsive, and genuinely cared about making our stay special. You can tell they love what they do—and it shows in every detail.This was one of the best vacation rentals we've ever experienced. We can’t wait to return and try another one of their cottages. Highly recommend Mermaid Cottages if you’re heading to Tybee—you won’t be disappointed!

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!

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!
