The Mermaid Cottage was a “home away from home” for us for a month and we hope to return. It’s a great location with an easy walk to the beach and downtown. The cottage is well equipped with quality linens, paper goods and kitchen ware. No thin towels or scratchy toilet paper! The heated pool and guest house set this property above the competition. The owner was very communicative and responded immediately to a very minor problem with the dishwasher. In four weeks that was our only issue, and it's hardly worth mentioning. This property is highly recommended!

Wonderful place

Great location for quick access to beach, shops, restaurants. The cottage has everything we could have possibly needed. Lots of room for our big family. And the detached guest house was wonderful for gram and gramps to go to have quiet time while the kiddos were still running wild lol!

I apologize, I did not know that we had a problem. I have contacted our pest service for resolution. I’ve never had that happen in 19 years, so sorry it happened to you.

The mermaid cottage is the perfect place to stay on SSI. Close to everything and every detail is taken care of at the house. The pool and guest house is fantastic as well. Martha is a fantastic host and we will be back to this beautiful home away from home.

Perfect SSI Vacation Spot

We spent the week with our older teens and young 20s kids and their partners. The house was very well stocked for cooking large meals and was set up perfectly for family conversations, games and fun. We loved the pool and the proximity to the beach and the village was awesome as well. Fantastic home, you can’t go wrong!

Mermaid Cottage

This property was clean, well equipped, and full of quaint charm and character. The pool was perfect for a shady swim after a day on the beach. The walk to the beach was about 7 minutes with shade cover on about half of it. A two year old walked it one day! Great place to make family memories!

Spring Break Family Trip

We had a wonderful time at Mermaid. Cottage. It met the needs of grandparents, parents, teens, and children. Plenty of room inside and the warm pool was great outside. The cottage had everything needed and was super clean. We rented a golf cart while there which transported everyone to the beach and stores. We had a fun and memorable stay!

SSI mini Vaca

We had a great stay. The house is just wonderful and so was our host. St. Simons is a beautiful place. There are things to do or you can just relax. A day trip to Jekyll Island is worth the time. Thanks for the great mini vacation. We will return to the Mermaid Cottage. Sincerely, Sylvia

Highly recommend

We had an outstanding time the weekend we stayed. The indoor as well as outdoor space was spectacular. The house came filled with everything needed. The owners were available at any time we needed (which we didn’t need but nice to know they were willing to help). Awesome people to work with! It was nice to be so close to all the amazing restaurants the Village has to offer.

About the host

Hosted by Martha Takacs

Host profile image
My husband and I LOVE the ocean. As our family grew,and grew, we found St. Simons to be the perfect place to take the kids. They couldn't get enough of the ocean and the biking trails. There was no question, we had to invest in our own 'St. Simons beach house.' We hope you'll enjoy all that Mermaid Cottage has to offer. You'll want to keep coming back too!
