  This was our 2nd stay at Mimosa, we've lost count how many times we've enjoyed the Mermaid hospitality! As always, everything was wonderful. Easter made things a special treat with the Seaside Sister "Peeps" Show (marshmallow sculptures!) and sunrise service at the Pier. The house was perfect, coffee waiting for us, all clean, great stroll to the beach, shops & restaurants. We Love Tybee and The Mermaids!

    So glad you had a great Easter with us! We sincerely appreciate your repeat visits with us; we look forward to hearing from you to plan your next visit! ~The Mermaids of Tybee Island

  We absolutely loved our stay at the Mimosa Cottage. The kids loved the room with the bunk bed. The staff was so helpful and friendly before, during, and after our stay. We will definitely book with Mermaid Cottages again. Thanks for a GREAT vacation.

  Nancy S from Alexandria, Virginia recommends this vacation rental

  The house seemed quite a bit smaller in person than in the pix on the website. The beds, screened porch and outside shower were excellent. On the down side, there are no clocks except the one on the microwave; no wastebaskets in the bedrooms; bad lighting in the bathrooms, kitchen & screened porch; towel racks are needed in the half bath; kitchen chairs are very wobbly; sofa needs to be replaced; the knives are not sharp; there's no large bowl for salad or mixing a cake; kitchen storage is virtually nonexistent; porch screen doors need handles & latches; transferring items from the washer to the dryer is difficult because the dryer door does not stay open and you hit your head on it; and some ceiling fans need longer pull chains. My niece and her husband, Leslie & Bob Wagner, were part of our party, and they thought this house did not meet Mermaid's usually high standards. I would only recommend this property to friends w/a smaller group who did not cook. The house is definitely not large enough for more than 4 adults. The floor needs to be replaced; the light color and texture make it look dirty all the time.

  • Manager Responded on 3/28/2012

    We appreciate your suggestions and feedback as it is what allows us to offer the very best beach vacation rental experience to all of our guests. We are passing along your suggestions to the homeowner. We try to make sure everyone has as much description and information possible on each cottage by posting description and numerous pictures on our website. We sincerely hope you will consider a return visit and perhaps one of our larger cottages would suit you and your family better. ~ The Mermaids of Tybee Island

  Lori S from edgartown, MA recommends this vacation rental

  I was looking for a February getaway, to do some quiet work, visit with my daughter at SCAD and escape the grayness that is my island in February.
  
  This was just what I needed! The cottage is welcoming and cheerful. My dog loved the fenced-in back yard. The Mermaids were unfailingly helpful and had left out dog treats for Oliver and a special brand of coffee for me. I felt very well cared for. You will too!
  
  Next time, I am bringing my bike. Such a great area for riding. And only a 5-minute amble to the beach.

  • Manager Responded on 3/18/2012

    So glad you found your quiet, cheerful place at Mimosa! We strive to make your stay the best beach vacation possible; it sounds like you really enjoyed some of the special touches such as the Beach Bum Biscuits for our furry guests and the wonderful Mermaid Bliss coffee! Yes, yes, do bring your bike next time; and make that next visit very soon! We look forward to having you stay with us again! ~The Mermaids of Tybee Island

  Pam K from Savannah, GA recommends this vacation rental

  This Military Family loved having a "staycation" on Tybee, even though we live about 10 miles down the road! It was so much fun and really what our little group of 4 needed to do after so many months of seperation and another military deployment just weeks away. My 6 year old cried when we left. wish it had been warm enough to go out and build sandcastles and get a nice sunburn :)

  This cottage had everything you would ever need for a comfortable stay. The large, screened in back porch was a great, private place for our morning coffee. Access to the beach was perfect. The only thing missing was an ice cream scoop, but otherwise a very well equipped cottage. Thanks.

  • Manager Responded on 7/12/2011

    I love having my morning coffee on a screened in porch so I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the opportunity too! We'l make sure we get a ice cream scoop added to the kitchen utensils and thank you for letting us know. Let us now when we can help you with your plans for your next trip!

  There were 4 adults and one child and plenty of room for all. We were impressed with the large screened in porch and the outdoor shower was a novelty! Tybee is such a gorgeous little place, it's really easy going and the people are very friendly. The location is perfect, really close to a park and a stones throw from the beach, believe me, you don't want to walk far in that heat! If you are looking for something easy and simple, Mimosa is a great little cottage.

  a guest from Bartlett, TN recommends this vacation rental

  great little affordable spot for a family...the only complaints were that the kitchen floor needed a really good scrub...our feet/socks were "black" after walking on it the first day and an ice bucket in the freezer would have been nice...the outside shower was a great asset

  • Manager Responded on 11/22/2011

    I am so glad you enjoyed Mimosa and have forwarded your feedback on to our housekeeping manager. If you ever run into that issue at another Mermaid Cottage<(which I sincerely don't think you should) but if so, please call our guest services line immediately. We would have liked to have taken care of that when you arrived and really apologize for the inconvenience. I love your idea about an ice bin in the freezer and have requested that to be added. Thank you so much and hope we see you on Tybee again soon!

  June H from Claxton, ga recommends this vacation rental

  We had the best time at Mimosa Cottage, a quaint and "beachy" place that was just perfect for our family.
  We were a short stroll (no power-walking on Tybee) from the beach, but in a very quiet neighborhood.
  The house itself was awesome and we loved the huge screened porch and the outdoor shower. There is nothing like the feel of a sun-warmed towel after a shower.
  Our "magical" moment occurred when we decided we needed some crab-boil for our evening meal. On the way out the door to the store, I checked the cupboard. Our magical mermaids had anticipated our need.
  Thanks for making our vacation a great beginning to our summer. We'll certainly be back.

  Mimosa cottage is a great place to stay. It has everything you need with only a five minute walk to the beach. It suited our family's needs to a tee(kids age range 11 months to 18 years). We hope to come back to Tybee some day and when we do we will definitely use Mermaid cottages to find just the right place to stay. Thanks again Mermaid Cottages!

  There is not another rental company in existence that takes such good care of its' guests. We had one or two little issues pop up and they seemed to drop everything to come fix them. They even helped us search for the remote for the TV!

  Mimosa Cottage is clean, inviting, comfortable, and in a great location. Gotta love the very private outdoor shower, huge screened porch, and cozy furnishings. Though the screened porch offers plenty of privacy in the back, our favorite spot to dine and lounge was on the front unscreened porch where watching the birds, people, and traffic was great entertainment. Only thing missing was a hair dryer and a bar of soap.

  The staff at Mermaid Cottages was wonderful ! We would definately use them again. Mimosa Cottage would not be our choice again unless the refrigerator, VERY noisy, and front door, not secure, was fixed. We would also recommend that the property owner at least leave extra trash bags in the cottage.
