Perfect SSI Vacation Spot

We spent the week with our older teens and young 20s kids and their partners. The house was very well stocked for cooking large meals and was set up perfectly for family conversations, games and fun. We loved the pool and the proximity to the beach and the village was awesome as well. Fantastic home, you can’t go wrong!

Mermaid Cottage

This property was clean, well equipped, and full of quaint charm and character. The pool was perfect for a shady swim after a day on the beach. The walk to the beach was about 7 minutes with shade cover on about half of it. A two year old walked it one day! Great place to make family memories!

The property location is in a great location. The cabins layout allowed for family dinner and game night. Having the pool room was great for allowing family to have their own space.

Our favorite beach house

This is the perfect place for our family - we spend a week here every year. Works great for 3 or 4 generations staying together. Short walk or ride to the beach. Has all the pots and pans we need, plenty of dishes, cups, glasses and silverware. And towels - lots of towels - including beach towels! We hope to be back next year. And each year after that...

Spring Break Family Trip

We had a wonderful time at Mermaid. Cottage. It met the needs of grandparents, parents, teens, and children. Plenty of room inside and the warm pool was great outside. The cottage had everything needed and was super clean. We rented a golf cart while there which transported everyone to the beach and stores. We had a fun and memorable stay!

A Great Location and Host

Martha and her staff showed great flexibility and generosity before and during our stay. The house is in a very convenient location. You can get to everything notable on SSI quick and easy. The house itself is very comfortable and was fully appointed. The Mermaid theme is also well carried out.

SSI mini Vaca

We had a great stay. The house is just wonderful and so was our host. St. Simons is a beautiful place. There are things to do or you can just relax. A day trip to Jekyll Island is worth the time. Thanks for the great mini vacation. We will return to the Mermaid Cottage. Sincerely, Sylvia

Visiting from WV

SSI is a wonderful beach for family. The home is pleasant and comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with everything you will need for cooking family meals. There are beach chairs and beach umbrella. Pool is heated and so relaxing. Beds are comfortable and two sitting areas are great for spreading out. The separate sleeping quarters was nice for young adult children. Easy walk to the beach.

Highly recommend

We had an outstanding time the weekend we stayed. The indoor as well as outdoor space was spectacular. The house came filled with everything needed. The owners were available at any time we needed (which we didn’t need but nice to know they were willing to help). Awesome people to work with! It was nice to be so close to all the amazing restaurants the Village has to offer.

Wonderful!!!

This is our third year in a row staying at MC. We stay with extended family that are a variety of age ranges. If you have a baby or toddler this house is perfect because of the pool house that you can stay in. Also we love this house because it’s all on one level and that is great for our toddler and older grandparents. The heated pool is also a wonderful addition. Martha is wonderful to work with.

Great Beach Cottage!

The location was off a quiet street directly behind the elementary school, which was perfect. We were able to walk to the beach using the sidewalk thru the school. We enjoyed the lush landscaping and all the house had to offer (pool, grill, ping pong table, etc). We spent our days between the pool and the beach. The house is a short walk to the village as well, rent a golf cart and never drive anywhere once you reach the island. Martha was a great host and we would surely stay again!

Little Oasis

All of our flights were delayed and we had lots of rain to contend with making for a very late arrival. We had some struggle getting in but Martha & Bob were AMAZING and receptive to the lateness of the help needed. The home is spectacularly cleaned and literally not a need for anything!! We LOVED the pool and the closeness to walking to the Beach & downtown. Super responsive with any questions we had. We all fell in love with SSI!

My husband and I LOVE the ocean. As our family grew,and grew, we found St. Simons to be the perfect place to take the kids. They couldn't get enough of the ocean and the biking trails. There was no question, we had to invest in our own 'St. Simons beach house.' We hope you'll enjoy all that Mermaid Cottage has to offer. You'll want to keep coming back too!
