  This is a wonderful updated vacation home that is close to the beach, town, and the backwater. However, it is very private and is in a nice neighborhood.

  My husband, nine month old baby girl and I had a wonderful time on Tybee Island. The Blue Heron was perfect for us and very comfortable. We would love to visit again, but next time we might bring along our extended family so we would have to choose a larger cottage! The Blue Heron is great!!

  Devin M from Big Indian, NY recommends this vacation rental

  From the moment we arrived, we knew we made a great choice in using Mermaid Cottages! Blue Heron was positively perfect for our family of four. Low key, but clean and quirky in lovely seaside cottage decor. Loved the extra touches of DVD's, books, etc. The place was spotless + welcoming. Thanks for an absolutely perfect vacation. We'll definitely be back!!!

  • Manager Responded on 4/23/2012

  We absolutely loved our stay at Blue Heron! The Back River location was so quiet & relaxing. This was our 2nd stay with Mermaid Cottages & once again, they went out of their way to help us & offer a great deal! We have tried a few different rental companies on the island and while all have been nice, Mermaid Cottages certainly towers above the rest in customer service, lovely houses & great prices! Thank you Mermaids!

  This is our fourth year with Mermaid Cottages and in this home. And....for the four year it was wonderful! The mermaid staff is available whenever and for whatever you need....they really make you feel special! Diane is the best - and thus her team follows by her leadership. The home is always clean...and everything is always in perfect working order....honestly the only way it could get better is if we could stay longer! We are so blessed to be part of the Mermaid Family! Thanks to each of you for making our yearly escape to Tybee "simply the best!"

  • Manager Responded on 3/3/2012

    We are so pleased that you have such nice things to say about Blue Heron and our Mermaid Cottages team! Thanks so much for your wonderful review! It sounds like you have, once again, had an outstanding visit! When guests return again and again, it really speaks volumes about their experience with us. We welcome you as a part of the Mermaid Family and invite you back to Tybee and our cottages to make more wonderful memories! Come see us again real soon! ~The Mermaids of Tybee Island

  The Blue Heron is perfectly situated for kayakers since it is only a block and a half from Alley 3. My non-kayaking family loved the house (as did I) and we particularly enjoyed the great kitchen, large dining table, beautiful back porch, super shower, claw foot bathtub, spacious fenced lawn, and comfortable hammock. Our very discriminating corgi said he's coming back!

  a guest from Covington, GA recommends this vacation rental

  The Blue Heron beach cottage is absolutely wonderful! My husband and I brought my mother to Tybee Island for a Fall getaway trip, and we could not have been happier when we walked through the doors as we arrived at the cottage. The screened-in porch was our favorite! And the master bath shower is definitely an added luxury! The cottage is decorated nicely, and the open kitchen area to the living room was great when preparing meals in the kitchen. The location is great (although it was a little bit of a long walk to the beach for my Mother who is in her 70's)... My husband and I took our bikes, and the area is perfect for a bike ride. I would defintely recommend this property, and I would stay here again. In fact, we are thinking about a much longer stay on our next visit. (Oh.. and the staff at Mermaid Cottages are wonderful and helpful. When we arrived, we were greeted right away and received a phone call from the staff on the second morning to ensure that we were happy with our accommodations! I think this is great customer service! Thank you again, Mermaid Cottages!) We will be back!.... and soon!

  • Manager Responded on 10/18/2011

  Bonnie n Howard W from Chesterfield, MO recommends this vacation rental

  We visit Tybee about once a year and we loved the Blue Heron, it was better than expected. It has a large screened in porch--one of the best features. Lots of room for everyone. You would never believe this place is pet friendly--you cannot detect any previous pets. Our English Bulldog loved it too.
  The beach is about 5 blocks away, but not a problem for us--we either walked or packed up the kids and all their stuff and drove.
  We will probably be using the Blue Heron on our future visits. We have stayed at several places and The Blue AHeron is our favorite.
  Thanks so much for such a wonderful time at Tybee Island.

  The Blue Heron Cottage on Tybee Island was Fantastic. The cottage was very clean with large rooms and had everything we could possibly need. The master bath was wonderful and we loved the screened porch. This was our first trip to Tybee and Mermaid Jan
  was very helpful and took great care of us. Tim from Tim's Beach Gear had the bikes we rented at the cottage when we arrived and picked them up when we left, great customer service. Now I know where the saying Southern Hospitality came from, Tybee and Savanna.
  We will defintely be back and stay at the Mermaids cottages again.

  This will not be our last trip to the wonderful Blue Heron Cottage. We were just so happy with this cottage it is more beautiful than the photos online. at first when we booked this cottage we were concerned about its location but our concern was put to rest it was just a short walk to the beach and shops . We recommend this cottage it fit six just right with lots of room no cramping at this cottage. and the shower in the Master bedroom is like a spa. We have stayed in a lot of places and this is the best. Thank you Mermaid Cottages for doing such a wonderful job .

  The house was wonderful. There were a few minor maintenance issues with the place (ran out of propane, a/c compressor broke down), but I only mention this as a testament to Mermaid cottages commitment to customer service, they were quick to respond and fixed everything rapidly. Altogether a perfect trip and a great place to stay! We will definitely be back!

• This is our 2nd visit to Blue Heron and it is still a favorite. The open floor plan for living/kitchen/dining is a plus. Soothing colors and low key decor are great. Upgraded shower in master a big plus.

  BLue Heron is a spacious house for relaxing. The living room/ kitchen is large and the screened porch is also roomy. We enjoyed the fireplace with the weather being a little cool for Tybee. We like the location to the backwater sunsets, the march views, and to the beach. All are a short bike ride on non-busy streets. All in all, a nice vacation home!!

  This was our first visit to Tybee Island which was a treat in itself. However finding a nice place to stay could not have been easier. The cottage information online for Mermaid Cottages is very detailed and allows you to choose the best fit for your visit. Lemon Drop Cottage matched it's description and looks wonderfully and was a comfortable place to retreat for a weekend away even in February. Although we did not attend the Tie the Knot event on Friday night, it looked fun as we left the beach after an evening walk. We hope to come back again soon!
