The property was not clean upon arrival. Contacted the management company. Tammy was extremely responsive and sent someone the next day to clean thoroughly. Tammy was very professional and helpful.The property itself is not in good condition. Needs a lot of fixing up. The layout is odd. The screened porch and yard were nice.

My experience with the vacation rental was excellent. The dwelling was very suitable and in a convenient and quiet location. I’m pleased I connected with Mermaids. Tammy and Diane were quite cordial and proficient. Thanks!I have no complaints. One friendly suggestion: have housekeeping to dust-off/wipe the top of the washer-dryer unit. Otherwise, the facility was neat and nice and clean.I hope I will have the opportunity to vacation there again. Clay

I came here with my adult son and daughter. We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was very clean and comfy. Our ONLY complaint was the pillows.

The place was even better than we expected, the customer service polite and prompt and very accessible. LOVED the house.. pretty, lots of great decor details, very comfortable clean beds and furniture, generously stocked kitchen, laundry, & baths, great shower size and water pressure, lots of hot water, our 2 pooches felt very welcomed and considered, yards fun, and of course very nice neighborhood. We were there in July and wished we'd booked longer than our 3 days. There were several very intense thunderstorms that were fun and comfy to observe from a cozy safe inside. My 8 year old granddaughter has already claimed another visit at the exact same house.

Adorable older cottage. Clean and stocked with everything you need. The porch was wonderful for the games and wonderful conversation and celebration for my birthday. The dogs really enjoyed the fenced in yard.

Our vacation was amazing! This is the 2nd time visiting Fun In The Sun. Walking distance to the south beach, the pier and all the shops. Best place to eat Stingrays. Cleaning crew should pay close attention to the living room sofa, it has a very foul odor. Other than that the house was acceptable. The Mermaid staff was a pleasure to work with. We will differently work with them again.

Our rental with the mermaids was perfect. Tammy is always so kind and available for any needs. The unit was very clean and inviting when we arrived. The cottage suited all of our needs and we have already booked with them for next year. I would highly recommend renting from the Mermaid cottages.

We enjoyed our stay! You recommended the perfect cottage and it met all of our needs! It was great having 2 baths and a washer a dryer. We loved the location! We were only 3 blocks from the beach and grocery store and just a short stroll to restaurants. We didn’t want to leave. We have fallen for Tybee and Mermaid Cottages.

We arrived from the Chicago, IL area to find Fun in the Sun a wonderful home and comfortably settled in for our stay. We traveled with our 9 year old Welsh Terrier. She was very happy in the home. This was not our first trip so while we explored the area (including Savannah).Unfortunately Hurricane Ian was predicted to hit the area, so we elected to leave early. We had consulted with Tammy and she was very helpful in helping us make the decision.We will return to be able to enjoy a full week on Tybee in the future.As for the house. We found it clean and welcoming. Thank you to the staff for your help and friendly personality!

We loved the cottage. Check in/out was smooth with no problems. The only thing negative is the air conditioner had to be kept at 72 degrees and with 95 degree weather, it was not cool enough.

Loved our time on Tybee, Fun in the Sun was a cute cottage & fit our Family of 6. Loved the Screened in Porch. The only thing we found is the Mattresses in Guest Room needs to be replaced, just not very comfortable. Everything else was fine & the Staff is so Friendly & helpful.

We had a great time. The screened porch was wonderful and really added to the living space of the home. The backyard was also very nice. Location is great - we were close to the beach. Our only dislike was the outdoor shower. You have to hold the handle down for the entirety of your shower. If you let go the water turns off so that made it not very usable for us. Otherwise, the place was great and we’d return for sure.

Diane was awesome we had a couple of concerns about the property but Diane and her group was always there to help with a resolution.
The walk to the beach was quick and the best restaurants was only minutes away. This property is pet friendly my yorkie had a great time in the back yard but the screen porch needed some minor work. And I think with most rentals the mattress could be better. But overall I would do it again.
Thanks to all Mermaid Cottage staff your the best.

Arrived at the vacation house found out that the big oak tree was gone which was terribly disappointed for that was one reason we chose this location. Due to heavy rains there was a lot of Palm bark scattered throughout yard and all over the carport.which tracked alot of dirt in the house.overall a good stay but housekeeping could have cleaned better.

Jones Ave. is a somewhat noisy road. Town should put up more stop signs on the road. The inside of the home was very neat and clean. The outside needed some yard work like raking and cleaning of the yard.

As an older couple we were pleased to drive up to the carport right beside the front door and step into the cottage, with no steps.We really liked the open layout and the charming can be challenging to back out onto the busy traffic of Jones Street.

We enjoyed father's Day with 3 fathers on Tybee. Our family had 3 different houses because there were 16 of us. The weather was gorgeous and our time at the beach very pleasant. Our house is on a dangerous rode. Much caution needs to be taken when backing out. also walking on the road with cars speeding is a risk. Be prepared to leap into yards or bushes.

Arrived as first time visitors to Tybee May 20th, 2018 and loved our week long stay. Fun in the Sun cottage was perfect for this mom and 4 grown children. VERY clean and spacious. Plenty of room for all of us. Diane was very helpful and gave us many insights about the the island. We spent a lot of time on the beach as the cottage is a short 4 blocks. Easy walk. I would definitely recommend renting bicycles. We only used our car once the entire week. I would recommend Mermaid Cottages in a heartbeat!!
