NO BEACH TOWELS OR BEACH GEAR PROVIDEDCONTACTLESS CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT

Located directly behind historic Officer's Row, this quiet part of Tybee is close to the Lighthouse and North Beach.
Ground level, fenced-in yard, dog-friendly, tall ceilings and extra large windows allowing tons of natural light to pour in. The home now offers 2 full baths and an additional "water closet!"
Full of art from local artists and vintage finds, comfy furniture and best of all the extra large screened porch with rocking chairs. Truly a southern charmer of a home! This home is a historic home, and the homeowner has added an additional full bath for a total of 2 1/2 baths! Yet another unique feature of our home! This is half of the duplex with Enlisted Men's Mess Hall on the other side. Both sides are quiet and have private/separate entrances. Need space for a large family? Rent both sides!
Enjoy your complimentary sample of Mermaid Morning Bliss coffee; a special perk for all Mermaid Cottages guests!

Spacious, classy appointments and great location

This place is well adorned, with plenty of bathrooms for a family of various sizes. Comfortable, classic, with great property management and it's own secret path to the beach. On the north side of Tybee, easy access on and off the island and an almost private beach just south of the fort.

Another great stay at Screened Inn

We knew this would also be a great chance to bring along the family dog as well after we stayed with Mermaid Cottages at this location Teo years ago. Perfect size and layout for our three boys and us. Great location as a quick walk from the least crowded parts of the beach on the north end of Tybee. You will love it.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at Screened Inn during our last seven consecutive visits to Tybee Island, and we plan to stay there again soon. Screened Inn is located on the North end of the island, very close to the beach and the lighthouse. It's a very quiet location, and convenient to everywhere on Tybee Island. The Inn is always spotlessly clean, and the Mermaids are so responsive and helpful. We just love it...

Nostalgic gem in Tybee

This was a precious property that reminded me of going to my grandmothers home. It was beautifully restored and full of character. Close to park, beach, bingo 😂 and could walk to the Post Theatre. We will be back!
