Miss Opals was cozy! I would only make a suggestion for an air conditioner window unit in the pool house. And possibly cut back soE of the foliage in the back yard. I would highly recommend this place. We had a great time. If you do stay here in fall months ask them to have the heater on before you get there. Seemed like it took two days to get the water warm.

Loved this historic cottage. The layout of the house was a bit strange, but the pics depict that. The pool was perfect and loved the pool house TV for GA football viewing from the pool. The location is a short walk to the 17th Street beach entrance.
Extremely clean, kitchen was well stocked, pool was clean and refreshing. Lots of beach and pool toys. Had an awesome stay

Fantastic trip!! Just what was needed. This house is so cute and comfortable. The pool was a major plus! We spent most of our time floating in the pool and chatting and relaxing. Ms. Opals provided us with an oasis from everyday stress and just let us hang out! It definitely put us in vacation mode as soon as we got there. Plus - we know that Mermaid Cottages are going to be stocked with all the essentials we will need - that helps get the vacation underway quickly. Thanks again Mermaids for a terrific trip to Tybee!

Ms. Opal's Cottage was welcoming and a wonderful place for my family to vacation for the 1st time in Tybee. We loved the pool, the screened in big porch and the cottage itself. It was beautifully decorated and had all amenities needed. All the mermaid host were so kind and helped with any questions we had about the area and made sure we enjoyed our stay! Fabulous! Thanks for the hospitality!

Wonderful cottage..everything we wanted or needed.
LOVED our stay at Opal's Cottage. We stayed for 7 days. It was the perfect size for 4 adults and so many thoughtful details for guests. The cottage was very clean & there was relaxing music playing to welcome us! The furniture and beds were very comfortable. The sheets, pillows and quilts were top notch. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. Both bathrooms included high quality towels and some toiletries which we loved. The washer and dryer was very convenient for a midweek load of laundry and towels. The central air conditioning kept the cottage exceptionally cool. It was so amazing to come back to a perfectly cool vacation home! Now the best parts of the cottage are absolutely the backyard, pool and the front enclosed porch... Every morning we had our coffee on the porch while enjoying the sounds of nature all around us. The entire property has beautiful foliage which made us feel like we were in a tropical paradise 3. The pool house was awesome, filled with floats, beach chairs, & lounge chairs. The TV was awesome... We were able to watch the Phillies game from inside the pool! Finally, the Pool... Wow... it was perfect. We loved that it was heated so you could just walk right in, while still staying perfectly cool. We enjoyed it for hours every day! Finally, the staff at Mermaid Cottages were amazing and available to help us with anything we needed! Thank you 3

This home was perfect for my family’s spring break getaway. Even when the weather was chilly the heated pool was still perfect to swim in. It was my wife’s birthday and Tammy was amazing and very much so tentative with whatever we needed. I would love to stay in this same home on our next vacation to Tybee Island.

It was a wonderful experience, but that's no different from every other stay with the Mermaids. They never fail to tend to every detail and will check with you to make sure no needs remain. They are always so kind and welcoming. This trip was made even more special for me by them leaving a sweet card and gift to celebrate my retirement. We have stayed in at least 5 of their properties and each one has its own unique style and charm. We will certainly continue checking different cottages off of our "must-stay" list.

Great vacation. Everything was good at the cottage. Weather couldn't have been better! One minor issue is the dryer is making a squeaky noise but it did dry clothes. A suggestion to move the glider near the pool to the place where the concrete bench is. I don't think anyone would sit in the glider under the bushes. Thanks.

Quiet, peaceful, serene. If this is your idea of a great vacation, look no further. And when you are ready to get some terrific food, you are only a three-minute walk from excellent breakfast, yummy bagel sandwiches, and a plethora of desserts. Plus, a fantastic ocean view is just a few blocks away.
Property was exactly as described. Had everything you might need. Close to beach and restaurants and shops. Pool was very nice the day we were able to enjoy it (weather didn't cooperate the week we stayed). Would highly recommend.
