Tybee fun!

We love coming to Tybee so when our friends wanted to plan a group trip we found this place near theirs and we're very happy with it. The layout is odd but it didn't bother us at all. Communication from Mermaid Cottages was amazing and fast. Would definitely stay here again!

Great spot to bring your furry friends on Tybee

It was a very cool little spot and perfect for bring pets since it's fenced it. Awesome location even without dogs as it's close to some cool restaurants and bars on that side of town.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The layout at the cottage was prefect. The outside door from the room the younger couple and kids were in let them come and go early or late without bothering the older people in the other guest room.
