We had such a wonderful time at this property! It was clean, spacious, bright, and everything we hoped for. It is in a safe walkable area that is a super short walk to the beach. We had such a wonderful experience with the property manager and the cleaning crew. They were great at communicating promptly, accommodating our needs, and being flexible with us. I could not recommend this property enough if you are coming to the area!!

We had a fantastic time at this house! It is beautiful and clean. Plenty of space for our group of 7. The property manager was so easy to communicate with and extremely accommodating when I made a special request to adjust the check-in time. Would absolutely stay here again when in Tybee Island!

Mermaid is a pleasure to deal with for property. Great customer service! Property is just like picture and description!!!!
Property is in great location and was spacious for our family and everyone was comfortable. Property was well equipped with everything you need for a stay. Family had a great time!
We had an issue with ice maker (didnt work) and the mermaids brought us ice within an hour:)
Only recommendation would be to update a bit (sheets , towels )and move furniture on deck out of the line of rain. If it rains and it it did on us can’t use deck (which is amazing wrapping around house) as it gets soaked.

Loved it!
We were close to everything-the bay, the beach, shopping restaurants. Loved being able to walk everywhere. The house itself was big enough for our party of seven. The neighborhood was quiet and we sat out on the porches more than inside!

The house was amazing, and just a short block away from beach access. There were wrap around porches everywhere, and the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Tammy was wonderful and very understanding and accommodating. We walked down the beach every day to the pools in the sand formed during high tide; they were perfect for my 2-year-old grandson to play in. We visited the many shops and restaurants at the south end of Tybee, and did not have any bad experiences. The only time we needed a car is when we drove into Savannah; everything else was within walking distance. We will definitely be back!

House was very spacious, well maintained and provided a lot of outside decks for various views. The open kitchen and den concept was very conducive for meals and family entertaining. Plenty of bedroom space for all. We even took advantage of the outside shower coming in from the beach. There were views of Tybee residences but could not see the water, it was a bit of a walk to access the beach.

Beautiful home & very spacious but it's in desperate need of pest control. We found a # of cockroaches during the stay on both the upper and lower levels.I was disappointed that they didn't leave any beach chairs for guest use and that the bedding was such low quality. I feel like for the price and the distance to the beach they could have done a little more for the guests. Also, just a suggestion, I would have preferred to pay $25 more a night and have use of the bicycles. We tried to rent some but they were sold out. Overall it's a nice rental, just not my favorite.

Vitamin Sea was an optimal location to the local beaches, as well as downtown shopping and dining. There was plenty of room for our entire family (8 Adults). Our only suggestion for future guests, would be to update the bedding, and bath towels. The Master bed was extremely comfortable. However, the secondary bedroom mattresses were very creaky/squeaky could feel the springs, and could probably use an update. The fitted sheets on some of the beds were also not fitting well due to worn elastic. The towels in the bathrooms, while there were plenty, some were getting a bit thin/deteriorated and could use an update. All that aside, the Mermaid Cottages staff are top notch. The the attentiveness, and level of customer service were above and beyond.

A nice husband wife getaway. This place is in the perfect spot. Across the street from beach access to the quiet back river beach. The back river beach is perfect location especially during the social distancing, tons less people than the main beach. The only downfall to this property was the outside needs lots of TLC in the yard & to the house.

Beautiful, spacious home with fully-equipped kitchen, great relaxation spaces including an amazing wraparound porch and a separate sleeping porch. Great bathrooms and bedrooms, too. Thoughtfully decorated. Great location only minutes to the beach, but in a very quiet neighborhood. Management was organized, thorough and helpful. Awesome experience.

I loved this house! The next time I visit Tybee I will try and get it again. I loved the décor,the atmosphere, the coziness of the furniture and not to mention how clean the property was. Most of all, I loved the main porch, I loved laying in the hammock and the many options of places to sit and entertain. I love this house.....

The cottage had everything we wanted. Even a hand mixer so my husband could make his key lime pies to take to share at the family dinner. Look in the side cupboard, there is even a crock pot. The kitchen/island, dining room & living room layout is perfect for a number of people to be preping & preparing at the same time - no pumping elbows. The bedrooms are comfy as are the beds. The balconies are wonderful. The laundry room is great. The hose outside on the cement bottom floor was useful for cleaning beach toys and things. I don't think you can get any closer to the back alley fishing pier & beach - which is why we chose this property. We always stay on the back alley side. It is so quiet compared to the tourist area of the front side. If you want to go there - it is just up the street, but if you don't want to be in the bustle of all of that, this is the area of the island where you want to be.

The overall experience was great! The location was perfect for kayakers. The home layout was perfect. The bedrooms were comfortable and the porch was amazing - especially at sunset. This great home was within walking distance of everything!! Please don't post the following, but rather share with those who can improve things for the next guests. Some suggestions: The sleeping porch was only half screened, the bottom was open and let in unwanted bugs. This space would have been perfect without the bugs! The kitchen needed some additional items such as additional eating utensils (especially folks), serving utensils (especially big spoons), more serving bowls and platters, cleaner frying pans and or saute pans (those present were chipped, dirty and the coating was pealing off).

We enjoyed a restful, therapeutic weekend on the heels of Hurricane Dorian and it was just what our family needed. This spacious home is beautiful and we enjoyed being there relaxing after a stressful week of hurricane preparation in Florida. We hope to come again soon.
