This home offered everything we needed fly out family Christmas vacation. We had 13 people coming and going over the time we were staying at Whispering Palms and the house handled it perfectly. With the large kitchen, indoor and outdoor living spaces, heated pool, and proximity to the pier and the new beaches, we had the best trip ever.
This was my family’s second time staying. Great location midway between the bayside and ocean.

Thank you Maria! So glad you all enjoyed your second stay as much as the first at Whispering Palms! Hopefully you are already planning your next Tybee visit with Mermaid Cottages! Love, the Mermaids!
Between the beautifully landscaped back yard, all the porches and multiple bedrooms, this spacious house gave 11 people (from four families) all the room needed to find their own space, when needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We came down for a few days to celebrate a family birthday. The house was just so beautiful and suited our needs perfectly. Just a quick walk to the beach made it the best location. The pool is also amazing. Thank yall for everything.
We had a great time and really enjoyed the home. We loved the common area and the outdoor area, we were able to build a fire of our nights. There were 12 of us and we had plenty of space to be comfortable. I would def come back for another stay.

Outdoor / pool area was amazing. It is an older home with master bathroom updated beautifully. We spent most evenings on the main floor, screened, porch. Short walk to many shops, restaurants, and beach. We would definitely stay here again.

This house was perfect for our weekend girls trip! The corner lot was quiet and cozy. There was plenty of room for everyone and perfect location. We were able to walk to downtown for dinners and the beach was so close and easily accessible! The property manager was very sweet and just a text away! 15/10 will stay again

The house was fantastic with more than enough place for our party of 10 as well as very conveniently located. The kitchen was well stacked with all tools required for a great Thanksgiving dinner. Not to mention Tybee is a charming island that deserves to be discovered.
Finally, thank you to the Mermaids who helped make our stay memorable!

We had an enjoyable time at the house and on the island.
The experience was very nice from contacting the property manager to arriving to the property. It was a very smooth process to rent the house for the dates O wanted. The house could have provided more bath towels for the guests.

This was a wonderful house for our large family! It is spacious, clean and has a great location. Mermaid Cottages was wonderful to work with. Great communication! We will be staying here again!
My entire party loved the charm of Whispering Palms. It was a comfortable, relaxed setting with everything we could need without leaving the property (well except for the beach!)
Mermaid Cottages’ gals were great! They communicated with me many times prior to our trip to ensure we were fully prepared. And, touched base several times to make sure we had everything we needed.

Whispering Palms is a terrific home in a prime location on Tybee Island. The beach is about a 2 minute walk away, but the home is positioned in a way that it feels secluded. The pool and outdoor areas are top notch and the home was more than comfortable for our group of 6 adults and 4 kiddos. And added bonus is the awesome art that is hung throughout. One added bonus: the staff at Mermaid Cottages was terrific! Tammy made sure we were well taken care of and informed throughout our stay.

House was amazing upon arrival, very clean with welcome lights and music playing.
We originally rented with VRBO to later find out we could have rented directly with the rental company and saved money. Lesson learned as we were very happy with the house and enjoyed our stay, we will be sure we rent directly with the management company next time.

We had a wonderful stay at Whispering Palms. We loved the location and the yard/landscaping was exceptional! I would definitely recommend this place, we were very comfortable. The only recommendation I would make is to have more bath towels available, one per person means doing laundry during the week.
