My family and I had a great stay with Mermaid Cottages! The house was exactly as pictured, very clean and comfortable. I've noticed that some house rentals can be a little sparse on cooking supplies, but this one was fully stocked which we really appreciated. We also quite liked that the top and bottom floor operate as separate units with their own kitchen/bathroom (this is nice if you want to be together with friends/family but want some sense of separate living spaces)- also really enjoyed the screened in space right by the dock with a large table. Special shout out to the Mermaid team for taking good care of us while we were there with great communication and support. Thank you- I'd definitely book again!

This house had everything we needed and more! The location was perfect, being only a couple of blocks from the beach in 2 different directions. The property was gorgeous with plenty of outdoor and indoor areas to chill out and have a great time. The pool was amazing to have and it was always clean! There was ample communication and check ins from our hosts, which we highly appreciated! If you are looking for an eclectic, warm, and stunning beach house experience, this is it!
4.0
We had a great time! The house setup was ideal for two couples. The interior of the house is fabulously decorated,
very coastal charming.
Just a few items need to be attended to on the exterior of the house and in the rental description; easy fixes that will sure to be attended before summer season:
-exterior of the house and screen house is somewhat rundown
-would have liked to know ahead time about the no-see-um biting bugs
-would have liked to know ahead of time that the tide removes all of the water out of the “creek” the house is on

Overall, it was what we needed! It rained the first day we were there and the covered patios came in handy for the wet weather and then later for all the biting gnats. The house was clean. It was disappointing that the landscapers came one morning early, woke up the kids and sprayed weed killer. Couldn’t let the kids outside for a while and glad I didn’t bring our dog. Awesome location, right down the street from the crab shack and close to boat launch!

Spent Christmas with the whole family here. Lots of room, like two 2 bedroom units one up and one down. Nice dock and boat house.

Cottage had a few surprises. No inside stairs but connected by covered porches. No real problem but would have liked to know beforehand. Structure of cottage needs some reinforcement. Enjoyed marsh but ocean choice next time probably. Was too cold to sit on porches.

The house is charming, with a beachy vibe. Beds were ok & there was plenty of room. It was a short drive to the beach & restaurants. We did most of our own cooking as we have a group who likes to cook. The kitchen had everything we needed & the dock house was large enough for all 7 of us to sit & comfortably enjoy a meal & conversation.
We’ve been friends since grade school & were overdue for a get together. It was a wonderful stay & I would definitely recommend 😊

There were 3 adults and 4 kids ranging from 10 to 16 and we had plenty of room. The house is comfortable and welcoming! I highly recommend!

Over all it was a lot of fun and the entire family enjoyed our stay. Our mattress was a little worn out and we had trouble sleeping because we kept rolling into the center. Other than that, the house was quite charming and the owners are wonderful.

I rented this house for my daughter’s Senior Year Spring Break. She brought 3 of her friends and they stayed in the downstairs apartment. I stayed upstairs with a friend of mine. It was perfect to be close but not smothering and to give them a little freedom with a safety net. Just perfect.
The house was just as described and super clean. The porch was prefect for morning coffee and it was a great location.
5.0
This was very close to town and the beach. Had a great dock house although it was way to cold to enjoy. The owner met us for an easy check in process. Had a great time with the family. We would like to check out the house in the summer when it is warmer.

Loved the house, had everything we needed. Located in a convenient location. Host met is and provided great information on thee property and local area. We had our dog with us and she had a great time playing in the yard.

We truly enjoyed our time on this property. My husband and I stayed downstairs. Our adult children and their significant others stayed upstairs, allowing them some privacy. The dock house was the perfect gathering place for the whole family. Two things to know, the homes on either side of the property were closer than we thought from the pictures. The neighborhood is quiet, so it didn’t bother us. The second detail to note pertains to tall people. the ceiling on the first floor is low, especially the bathroom. Neither of these detracted from our visit - so we still give this property five stars.

The location was perfect for our family. The house was very nice, any of the small issues were immediately addressed and taken care of. We very much enjoyed our stay! Thank you!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Laura’s home. Upon arrival we were greeted by Joanne who gave us an overview of the property.
The home was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The beds were very comfortable and there’s great water pressure in the showers. This house has 2 floors, but you can only enter each from the outside. This wasn’t a problem for us, because my adult children had plenty of room in the lower level. There is a full kitchen in the upper level. The lower level doesn’t have a stove, but there is a microwave, toaster oven and refrigerator. I appreciated having use of the washer/dryer.
We spent a lot of time in the dockhouse. It was a great place to eat together, play games and watch my youngest son fish.
Lots of wonderful memories were made! My daughter was surprised by a proposal from her boyfriend on the trip. It was truly a wonderful week.
I received a call from Joanne shortly after we returned home to let me know an earring had been found. She was nice enough to mail it back. I appreciated that kind gesture.

This property has two separate levels that are not connected except from the outside so your group will be separated. Also, there is a boat ramp on property that was not disclosed. This is a huge problem when it’s low tide and leaves the marsh with nothing but pluff mud especially when dogs are concerned. Couches are white and owner is VERY particular which caused extra stress with dogs. Another thing, bring your own towels. The owner supplied 3 beach towels for a party of 8 and she seemed upset that we washed her towels. Other than that we had a great time and enjoyed the Crab Shack down the street.

Great place for my husbands 50th birthday with great friends. We absolutely had a blast! Loved the screened in dock

We had a wonderful time at this property. The Dock House is fabulous! We spent many hours in there relaxing and we enjoyed watching the tide come and go. Shocking - and fascinating - how much the water level changes! There was plenty of time around high tide to go out paddle boarding.
The house is clearly a "home" and we enjoyed the inside as well. The stairs being outside was not an issue for our group. We did not use the downstairs kitchen, only the upstairs one and that one was extremely well stocked. Beds and pillows were comfortable and it is very clean.
Check in was easy and owners were very responsive.
We wanted a place to just relax and be together and this suited perfectly! We just loved the charm of the place.

We had such a good time! We spent one day in Savannah (short uber away) and the rest of the time enjoying the dock and dock house. Plenty of room for everyone and well stocked.
2.5
This property is huge and beautiful! The two split floors with their own bedrooms and kitchen/kitchenette were great spaces to spend some alone time when needed, and the boathouse was a fabulous space to be together as well! The whole property was clean and beautifully decorated. Communication was easy and we had no problems at all. All in all, a fabulous stay!
2.5
Amazing stay on this awesome property. The dock house is fantastic. We had family dinners there, played games and enjoyed sunrises. Water views are beautiful. The two separate living areas were ideal for extended family and teens. Plenty of space for everyone. Beautifully decorated and super comfy. Location is awesome and close to everything.

We made a last minute decision to get out of Michigan cold, and found this cute place on VRBO. Tybee Island is an Eastern suburb of Savannah, and this place is on the west end of the island, so it was convenient to run in to Savannah for tours, shopping and dining. We also enjoyed the unique setting on a costal estuary with active bird life. The place was a great fit for two couples and a small dog to escape the cold and experience something new.

We had a great time in Tybee. The house was great right on the water with spaces upstairs, downstairs and the boat house to be together and relax!

relaxing cabana and outdoor fire pit. white covered couches and chairs upstairs and down were a challenge at times with kids and dogs. I would return another time when it is warmer.

We absolutely enjoyed our time. The house was perfect for both us and my brothers family with plenty of space for all. The host and her family were both very accommodating and responsive. All in all we loved it.

Awesome vacation home. We will be returning next year. Very accommodating and great people to rent from. We absolutely loved the dock house and our furbabies loved it even more.

Our family of 8 traveled down from Maine to explore Savannah for the first time, and found this gem. It was a perfect place for us. Being on the inlet was great, the boathouse was the home for our Thanksgiving dinner. We walked every morning just around the surrounding roads; saw so many birds. The house itself was very clean and roomy, a perfect hangout for all of us. We frequented the Crab Shack often, what a great place. Highly recommended, this is a wonderful house, perfectly located between Savannah and Tybee Island beach area.

My husband and I had moved away from Savannah almost two years ago. We had recently sold our house so we wanted to do something nice to spoil ourselves, our friends, and our families. This house was perfect! It was even better than the pictures showed! The house is beautiful! Everything was very clean and as promised, all essentials were provided. First, the fenced in yard for our dogs was the best! They were so happy and we loved feeling safe to let them just run wild. Our friends came the first part of the week and it was great! The girls cooked dinner in the great little upstairs kitchen while the guys grilled out, then we all met in the dock house to eat and drink wine. And relax!!! Its so dreamy! The fam came for the second half of the week and we enjoyed fishing off the dock and relaxing on the patios. It really was just a perfect week and everyone agreed it should be an annual event!

Oh--how to describe going on "Tybee time?" We arrived a little earlier than anticipated and after lunching at A.J.'s (go there--it's great!) we were able to unload a little sooner so the football fans could catch the game. (We're all LSU grads) I just fell in love with the blue bedroom and Sarah couldn't been nicer to accommodate us. We used the dock house quite a lot! Fished from the dock almost every day--ate at the Crab Shack (go there too!) Shopped quite at the IGA and got the Thursday night fried shrimp dinner from the American Legion Hall! Delicious! Everyone went into Savannah for 1 day and had enough diversions for the one very rainy day we had. And our Friday night fish fry of all our catches that we ate in the boat house---perfect weather and a full moon. Great ending for a great time!

Our family just had the most wonderful time at the "Dock House". That is what we call the location. It was awesome! We all fell in love with it. We loved spending time out at the Dock House sitting around talking and doing some fishing also. One of our favorite memories of the trip will be the dinner we cooked and ate one evening out in the Dockhouse. The house was wonderfully decorated and so cozy and comfortable. The fenced in yard was so good for our dogs. It felt like we were in a secluded area even though there are houses nearby. We texted photos of the place to some of our family members and they want to come and stay at the "Dock House" too. This was our first trip to Tybee Island and plan on coming back. There are so many neat things to do. So many good restaurants. There is no decision as to where we will stay when we do!

We had one of our first family beach gatherings here and we couldn't have asked for better! Such a well taken care of home, very well decorated, and so many places to hang out. From the two screened in porches, to the boat house, to the fire pit, and then there's inside the house....very comfortable and we wanted for nothing...a washer and dryer, towels, and even comfortable beds! My parents even went home and purchased the same mattress they slept on while they were there, they were that comfortable. It's a great location, an easy jaunt to Savannah as well as a five minute drive to multiple locations on the beach. It's a wonderful place! Many thanks to the owners, they were wonderful!

Couples and families alike will love the picturesque and serene atmosphere of this Tybee home. I was personally there for a girls getaway and the setting is perfect for a glass of wine with old friends. Coffee on the deck was lovely and the fire pit was terrific in the early evening as we watched the sunset. Close proximity to fun restaurants. I would highly recommend the venue to anyone!

We attended a Disk Dog event close to the area. Our dogs had a wonderful time playing in the great yard as we sat by the fire at night. Plenty of room for everyone. Having 2 separate living areas makes it feel so large. I loved having the fence yard with a gate. The sunset and sunrise were perfect. Minutes from Tybee and Savannah. Great rental!

This house was perfect! Great decor, well equipped and a lovely location. We had a wonderful time relaxing and enjoying the surroundings, particularly the dock house! Enjoyed a nice evening around the fire circle, which is great for cooler weather. Communicating with the owners was easy and they were great to work with. I'm sure we will be back!
5.0
What a lovely home in a relaxing spot! The main house was light, bright and airy, but it was the dock house that stole the show. It's the perfect spot for morning coffee or a nightcap. The owners were very responsive, and they made the arrival and departure process easy. My family and I would stay there again!
