The Perfect Getaway!

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: All I can say is: WOW. Not only did this place feel like a home away from home but mermaid rentals went above and beyond in their communications- they are incredibly friendly, warm and inviting which is so welcoming after a big day of travelling. The rental was spectacular, cozy, bright and FULL of character, the decorating really made it feel like a relaxed vacation and the walk to the beach was very short. I could truly go on and on about our incredible experience here, but I’ll leave it at saying it’s the type of place and experience you’ll tell people about, you’ll have wonderful memories and you’ll be just waiting to book the next time around. Thank you to Mermaid Cottages for truly making this rental a phenomenal experience. We’ll be back!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at Screened Inn during our last seven consecutive visits to Tybee Island, and we plan to stay there again soon. Screened Inn is located on the North end of the island, very close to the beach and the lighthouse. It's a very quiet location, and convenient to everywhere on Tybee Island. The Inn is always spotlessly clean, and the Mermaids are so responsive and helpful. We just love it...

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: We just finished our sixth vacation at Screened Inn. Since our first visit, this is our preferred vacation getaway. It's a cute property on the north side of the island, which we prefer because it is quiet and peaceful, but only a few minutes' walk to the North beach. It is always spotless. And it is very spacious. The interior is exactly like the pictures in the listing. Really cute. The Mermaids are friendly, accommodating and responsive. We are already planning to be back sometime in November-December and again in March.

Another Wonderful Year!

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: We have been coming to this charming cottage (both this side and Mess Hall) for our annual girls trip for four years. We adore it! Every time we see something we hadn’t noticed before. Lots of thought has gone into the furnishings. Tammy has always been amazing! She always makes us feel special. She quickly answers our questions and helps us out. The cottage is within a short walk five minute to North Beach. It’s always spotless. We love sitting on the front porch and relaxing before and after a day at the beach. Truly a magical home away from home! We have our reservations for next year and can’t wait to return.

Giving Mom a Beach Holiday

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: We love Tybee because it has NOT been commercialized and is clean. The beaches are very pretty and having a golf cart to puddle around was super. The mermaid Cottage team was there if we had questions or any needs. This is our third or fourth trip to Tybee and working with the Mermaids and will not change.

Wonderful Weekend

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First stay on north beach, first at Screened Inn! A quaint & quirky cottage in all the right ways! From driving down the shady lane, to tucking into the parking, to opening the screened porch door everything was great! Perfect gathering kitchen, comfortable beds, clean, tidy & updated bathrooms! A great hide away for quiet rest! Easy access to beach & restaurants! Definitely a wonderful weekend!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have rented Screened Inn four times in the past 2 years and will be renting it again in October. Screened Inn's location in the Fort Screven area, behind officer' row is perfect for us. Quiet and minutes from the beach and Tybee Lighthouse. It is comfortably furnished and always clean. And we especially like the friendly folks at Mermaid Cottages.

Delightful beach experience!

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: First time to Tybee! Variable March weather offered surprises daily, from warm and sunny to chilly wild windy waves! Screened In was the perfect quiet retreat for the 2 of us-close enough for a quick walk to welcome sunrises every day and drive to sunsets each evening. More space than necessary for 2 but such pleasant inviting rooms and porch! Can’t wait to return. Thanks, Tammy, for your quick responses to my many questions!

A month at the beach

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 husband and I enjoyed out winter escape to Tybee Island's. Mermaid Cottage Screened Inn. An excellent location on the north side near the lighthouse. This historic cottage (and former Mess Hall) has a delightful "secret passage" to the beach. The "Mermaids" provided all our needs and wants in this charming sand sparkling clean cottage. I am a repeat customer will definitely continue to rent from Mermaid Cottages.

Tybee Bucket List Trip

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: Over the years, we have stayed many times at the Screened Inn. This year we decided to check an item off our Bucket list, and stay for a month. The things we always enjoy about this cottage: quiet family oriented North End location, large screened porch, and walking distance to the beach. We are an older couple, and enjoy the cottage furnishings & atmosphere that remind us of decades ago. The Mermaid Staff are always friendly and accommodating. We will be back.

Love This Cottage!

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: We have used Mermaid Cottages for several years for our girls beach trip. This is the first year we stayed on this side of the cottage because we increased our party and needed a larger place. Screened Inn didn’t disappoint! It’s so charming, filled with everything you need. We loved spending time on the beautiful screened porch in the evenings. Tammy and Diane were amazing as they always are. We can’t wait to return next year! So close to North Beach, my favorite part of Tybee.

Crazy about The Screened Inn!!!

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: I was one of four high school classmates from the Class of 1976!!! We absolutely loved our time at the Screened Inn. It is such cozy cottage and the outdoor shower was a bonus! Lots of stories were shared on the Screened Porch. It was simply perfect for us. Would highly recommend this property!!! PS. I loved the music upon arrival. Very nice touch!!! The only suggestion I would make is to provide beach chairs. Packing beach chairs takes up a lot of space when traveling.
