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!

Cute cottage with the best location!
We have been coming to Tybee for years and this is our favorite place yet! The house was clean and in great shape....but the location, the yard and off street parking?!?! Those things alone will bring us back to this unit again. Also, I’ve never had such personal, pleasant interaction with the owners: they were so sweet from booking to arrival. Thanks for an awesome week!
