Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Excellent house. We also applaud the Mermaid team for the help when we locked ourselves out - whoops! The only suggestion I would make is towels for the pool(we did leave some new ones there) and a few more towels for the guests.

Our Mermaid Stay

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: The home was clean and inviting. The kitchen was well stocked with quality items. Beds were comfortable and rooms were more than adequate. It was centrally located on the island. We had issues with the heated pool not being warm Our concerns were addressed with care and respect. Although we were not able to get in it. We suggest you ask for the heat to be monitored prior to your arrival if you are going during cooler weather where a heated pool is a necessity. That said the staff was very responsive, caring and professional. It was a pleasure talking with the company and being treated as valued customers.

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.

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!

Perfect Little Cottage

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

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

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.
