Location was perfect, easy walk to the river which is where we spent most of our time. The house was beautiful and very clean. Lots of deck and porch space to hang out in.Communication was really great; we felt very welcomed and appreciated.
The house was clean, perfect size for us. This is a quiet peaceful place to vacation. Easy check in and they call to make sure everything was good. We had a great time and hope to get to go back.
Location, location, location was absolutely perfect. Property was clean overall. It would be awesome if motion lights are added outside. This spot is excellent for an extended stay or a short getaway.

We had a great time. The house was beautiful and accommodated our entire party. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a rental.
The house is gorgeous and spacious. Great location, close to beach, restaurants and shops. Only suggestions would be to update the beds, provide more towels (washcloths and hand towels) in bathrooms and perhaps a bigger water heater. If more than one shower being used at once, water is lukewarm. We loved the outside decks with seating and the open concept on third floor.

We couldn’t love Vitamin Sea and the Mermaids more. Our family (2 grandparents, 2 parents, and 3 kids) have all the space we need to enjoy the most perfect location on Tybee!

We had a great time at Tybee! This was the perfect place for us to stay with our toddler and in laws! We would definitely stay here again.
Received a phone call from the manager telling us her worker drove by and told her we “had a bunch of people at the house”. Really? House sleeps 8 and we had 7. Strike 1. Then we discover that for a house that sleeps 8 (4 bedrooms) there is only 2 parking spaces. So one of our cars has to park on the grass. The manager told us we might get a ticket. Strike 2. They need to provide parking tags for the cars is this is an issue. She said they couldn’t afford them because they were 300 a year. Seriously?! A small price to pay for making sure your guests don’t get a ticket. I will never use Mermaid Cottages again.
This house is a hidden gem.... Would recommend to anyone ... The pictures do not do it justice and the location is great

We have been coming to Tybee and staying at this house for several years now. You can’t beat the location. The house is perfect size for 8 adults. However, they do need to replace mattresses in a few of the bedrooms,and living room furniture. They are quite worn out, and the living room furniture only seats about 5 adults.
Great house and great location. We loved the porches!
