Family Vacation at Tybee July 25 - August 3 2025

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 Tybee since 2015 and renting a cottage from Mermaid Cottages. We have never been disappointed with our cottage. They have always been as described, very clean and maintained, and their customer service in preparing us for our visit is excellent. We always rent a golf cart and enjoy riding everywhere! Fannies and AJ Dockside are a must.This year we were able to attend the farmers and artisan market which was very good. The sunset dolphin cruise is awesome. The weather this year was unusually hot but it did not interfere with our fun. We have celebrated school graduations and birthdays at Tybee. We plan to return each summer as long as we can. We always give our family vacations a top rating and can rely on Mermaid Cottages to provide a wonderful cottage.See you next year!!

Loved the Flip Flop House

The cottage was charming and had so much character. Great location. Close enough to restaurants and bars in Tybee but far enough away where it was quiet and calm. We are already planning our next stay.

Visit to Tybee

What a great place! We met up with family to spend a couple of days in the Savannah and Tybee area. The house had plenty of space for all of us and plenty of furniture to all of us to relax. We can't wait to come back and spend more time in the area.
