Amazing home for a family holiday!!

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 home offered everything we needed fly out family Christmas vacation. We had 13 people coming and going over the time we were staying at Whispering Palms and the house handled it perfectly. With the large kitchen, indoor and outdoor living spaces, heated pool, and proximity to the pier and the new beaches, we had the best trip ever.

A house filled with character

Between the beautifully landscaped back yard, all the porches and multiple bedrooms, this spacious house gave 11 people (from four families) all the room needed to find their own space, when needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Whispering palms circa 1925

Outdoor / pool area was amazing. It is an older home with master bathroom updated beautifully. We spent most evenings on the main floor, screened, porch. Short walk to many shops, restaurants, and beach. We would definitely stay here again.

Best time ever!

The house was fantastic with more than enough place for our party of 10 as well as very conveniently located. The kitchen was well stacked with all tools required for a great Thanksgiving dinner. Not to mention Tybee is a charming island that deserves to be discovered. Finally, thank you to the Mermaids who helped make our stay memorable!

We had an enjoyable time at the house and on the island.

The experience was very nice from contacting the property manager to arriving to the property. It was a very smooth process to rent the house for the dates O wanted. The house could have provided more bath towels for the guests.

A perfect getaway for family time!

My entire party loved the charm of Whispering Palms. It was a comfortable, relaxed setting with everything we could need without leaving the property (well except for the beach!) Mermaid Cottages’ gals were great! They communicated with me many times prior to our trip to ensure we were fully prepared. And, touched base several times to make sure we had everything we needed.

Wonderful Beach 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: Whispering Palms is a terrific home in a prime location on Tybee Island. The beach is about a 2 minute walk away, but the home is positioned in a way that it feels secluded. The pool and outdoor areas are top notch and the home was more than comfortable for our group of 6 adults and 4 kiddos. And added bonus is the awesome art that is hung throughout. One added bonus: the staff at Mermaid Cottages was terrific! Tammy made sure we were well taken care of and informed throughout our stay.

House was amazing upon arrival, very clean with welcome lights and music playing.

We originally rented with VRBO to later find out we could have rented directly with the rental company and saved money. Lesson learned as we were very happy with the house and enjoyed our stay, we will be sure we rent directly with the management company next time.

I would definitely recommend this place, we were very comfortable. The only recommendation I would make is to have more bath towels available, one per person means doing laundry during the week.
