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: My wife and I had a relaxing week staying at this lovely cottage on Tybee Island. The home was comfortable and clean, with attractive furnishings. We enjoyed the short walk to the ocean with beautiful views. We visited nearby Savanah and the many interesting sites and restaurants in this historic city. The home does have a small apartment connected to it, but the residents are quiet. This beach community offers a pleasant atmosphere, and the local sushi restaurant is top notch.

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!
