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.

Our Home Away from 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: This is our second time staying at the Clamdigger cottage. It is in the perfect location- walking distance to almost everything, including the beach! It had everything we needed to feel at home, and the Mermaids even provided a bottle of champagne upon arrival! There was a really bad storm the night we checked in, and one of the Mermaids called to make sure we were okay. Top notch customer service!! We absolutely enjoyed our stay and we are already looking into booking again next year! Thank you Mermaids!! 🥰

Great Beach Getaway

Very close to beach and pier. Renting a golf cart made it a lot easier to get around on the island. Tammy with Mermaid Cottages was absolutely amazing to work with.

A roomy, private, tucked away gem in south Tybee Island Beach

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 in a great location, 2 blocks south of the the main restaurant/bar district and thus out of the traffic, an easy short walk to the beach, with ample room to park 3 cars. Plenty of hang out space on the main level, nice porches, large kitchen, and roomy/quiet separate suite in the basement. The owner supplied many items (coffee maker, blender, etc.) not normally found in a rental. Great having the washer/dryer onsite. The unit was clean, and both the owner and property management company were very proactive with customer service and touching base to make sure everything was good. We have rented other places nearby, and this home was much better in all aspects. We had 5 adults, and there was plenty of room for all of us.

Cute, Comfortable, & Close

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: Loved everything about this beach home, everything was as advertised. 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.

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!

Cute house!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we had a great experience. The house was cute and had pretty much everything we needed. On the cleanliness side, the floors were dirty. It seemed like they had been vacuumed but not mopped in a while. My 3 year olds feet were constantly black.

Wonderful Girls Weekend

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: Several girlfriends and I came down to Tybee for a “low-key” Bachelorette trip. This rental made the experience perfect. The proximity to the beach is great, and the neighborhood was quiet but close to bars and restaurants. The house itself was very nice and cutely decorated. We loved spending time on the screen porch and in the pink living area. Tammy at Mermaid Cottages was great to work with and was always available to answer questions. Overall, our experience was very positive. I would come stay here again!

3 Generations family vacation

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 rented 2 cottages side-by-side so the grandchildren could visit the grandparents anytime and not have to cross a street. The cottages Clam-digger and Sandpiper were perfect! We were within easy walking to the beach and the screened-in porches were perfect for quiet morning coffee, lazy afternoon conversations and the occasional rainy day siesta.Both cottages were comfortable and accommodated family gatherings. The Mermaid professionals were spot on providing information, navigating emergencies and technical confusion.We had so much fun, we’ll definitely plan another visit!

We loved our short walk to Back River Beach and had the whole beach to ourselves! The screened in deck was so peaceful and we loved spending evenings on it. Our children loved dancing in the living room to music from the record player daily! The house had everything we needed and more! This was our second time using Mermaid Cottages on Tybee and we will absolutely be using them again if or future trips! Thank you for a mermazing stay!

Great cottage on the South end!

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 a really nice getaway weekend with friends. The cottage has a separate downstairs bedroom with a nice shower. Upstairs has 2 bedrooms that share a bath - it's an old style clawfoot tub, so a little awkward to shower in but it works. Fantastic screened porch, and a couple of living room areas - we had plenty of room to spread out and relax. Walkable to the beach, restaurants, shopping, etc. We rented bikes (shout out to Tim's bike rental, they are fantastic, and they deliver bikes to you), and never used the car the whole trip. Thank you, Mermaids! Can't wait to come back.
