  Marjorie W from Palm Harbor, FL recommends this vacation rental

  My husband and I really enjoyed staying in Tybee and Fiddler on the Creek was the perfect get away. We loved watching the water cover the marsh grasses. We liked eating Thanksgiving dinner on the screened-in porch. Our stay was quiet and relaxing. We would like to come back to Tybee in the future.

  Cristi C from Asheville, NC recommends this vacation rental

  Fiddler on the Creek cottage was a sweet little cottage. The location made for a perfect getaway. Far enough from the nightlife for some quiet time yet still close enough to ride our bikes to the beach! Also, plenty of room for parking. The decor inside the cottage is rustic, shabby chic. A small screened in porch with a view of the marsh. Then a fabulous dock jetting out into the tidal creek. We spent every morning drinking our coffe on the dock. Then every night we enjoyed a cold beverage out on the dock. We brought our dog - Dylan along and she loved every minute of it! Lying on the dock is just her style! I think this is a great rental for the honeymoon couple, anniversary getaway, or best friend reunion. It is the perfect size for 2 people and maxes out at 3. I will be renting this cottage again in the future!

  a guest from Fremont, OH recommends this vacation rental

  This is our third time visiting Tybee and staying at Fiddler on the Creek, and we plan to return for a fourth! The minute you open the door, you are greeted with a fresh, clean scent and spotless floors/bathroom/etc. We experienced the most relaxing vacation yet lounging on the back deck, riding our bicycles on the quiet roads, and walking the beach at sunrise. We also viewed glorious sunsets from the front room. Third time is definitely a charmer :-)

  • Manager Responded on 11/27/2011

    AND the Fourth time is going to be Fabulous!!! So happy you enjoyed Fiddler, it is definitely a charmer! Let us know when we can help again and don't forget to book by the end of 2011 for 2011 prices in 2012. Thank you again for the wonderful comments!

  a guest from Cleveland, TN recommends this vacation rental

  First time renting a vacation rental versus hotel. Really enjoyed the freedom to be outside on the dock instead of cooped up in a hotel. Did not use the kitchen with so many good places to eat on Tybee Island and Savannah. Peaceful location with the exception of the nearby 4-H camp. Overall, very enjoyable getaway!

  • Manager Responded on 11/15/2011

    So glad you enjoyed the dock and our wonderful little Fiddler on the Creek for your October getaway. I totally understand what you mean about all the wonderful restaurants around the island as I have to force myself to cook at home sometimes instead of taking advantage of them!.. Please let us know when you are ready for your next visit and maybe we can try another location that will be a better match for you. Thanks again for your wonderful comments and hope to see ya'l again soon!

  we loved staying at the Fiddler, the cottage is very nice and extremely clean. A+++ on all the linens and beautiful pillows. We so enjoyed watching the scenery change from looking like a small creek in tall grass to looking like a6 ft deep very wide channel of water that kayak"s and boats were passing by. The wildlife to watch is awesome.

  We spent our Fall Break on Tybee and stayed at Fiddler. We loved our stay, our cottage, and Mermaid's professionalism (especially Jan). We loved it so much that we promptly decided to return to Tybee and use Mermaid for our Spring Break.

  We arrived on our 20th wedding anniversary, choosing Tybee off of a map at . We decided to choose a place we'd never been before and have an adventure. It was perfect, from beginning to end. We loved the drive from Charleston, the beauty of Tybee, the
  cottage, getting around by bike, the breath-taking beach, the Lighthouse tour, seafood, shopping....the Breakfast Club! I could go on and on ~ suffice it to say, we will be back, with our kids in tow. Thank you for everything.

  My husband and I stayed at the Fiddler for a nice quiet getaway a the end of our honeymoon trip. It was very private and had everything we needed to relax away from all of the tourist traps, but still close enough to seek it out if we chose to. The view
  is absolutely beautiful, too!

  The place is small, but comfortable. My wife and I had plenty of room, but we are accustomed to living in a small space as we often spend weekends aboard a sailboat. There is a very nice compact sound system with CD's and a book collection and a comfy
  queen bed. Quality ceiling fans, a window unit in the bedroom and a compact heating/cooling unit in the living room keept us cool and comfortable in 100 degree heat. This is a place for people that enjoy the beauty and tranquility of a healthy salt marsh...simply
  gorgeous.

  Kathy K from Daytona Beach, FL recommends this vacation rental

  Please let future clients know extra towels are under the bed. It would have helped us . The cottage was just what we needed for a relaxing birthday and 13 year anniversary. We found everything to be just so peaceful and serene. Sitting on the dock , or porch or just relaxing in the house it took all the stress of live away. Everything was clean an neat all the decorations made it pleasant to look at and enjoy. Our first vacation in 13 years together (as we own a photography business)and can rarely get away. Thank you Mermaid Cottages for making it a pleasant stay much better than so old hotel or motel. we loved it!!!!!!!!!!!

  Jean D from Okatie, SC recommends this vacation rental

  We had a wonderful time, very relaxing on the dock (which is where we spent most of our time); biking; napping; eating; sunning; shopping--all the fun things you do while on vacation! The cottage is on a quiet road and the marsh was spectacular. The cottage needed a deep clean but overall was quite livable (I did some cleaning). It was very quaint and reminded me of the cottage we had as a child growing up in CT. We lost power due to a storm on Sat. night around 9 pm and power was still not on when we left Sun. morning at 10 am. Couldn't be avoided, I'm sure it was fixed that day. We would do this again in a heartbeat!

  a guest from Springfield, Missouri recommends this vacation rental

  The cottage was excellent. Our only regret was that we weren't able to stay longer. On previous trips to Tybee we stayed nearer the beach, and enjoyed our stays, but there is nothing like the quiet tranquility of the creek in the back and the marsh across the street. The dock itself is worth renting out. Truthfully we spent most of our time there outside! It was a wonderful experience, and we'll be back.

  We spent our 10th anniversary here and it began to feel like a home to us, we loved sitting on the dock watching the fiddler crabs and listening to the clams and oysters clapping. The shower was small but we got over it . We had a wonderful anniversary.

  a guest from yellow springs, oh recommends this vacation rental

  A charming cottage in which we were very comfortable. The shower has great pressure but is not for tall people. The bed was comfy but very squeaky. Not having a kitchen table was a drawback but we mostly ate out. Not a kitchen set up for serious cooking. Really enjoyed the screened in porch and sitting out on the dock, though that dock could use some repairs. Overall, very nice, but not suitable for those looking for luxury, and we weren't, so it was great for us.

  Crystal S from Warrior, AL recommends this vacation rental

  We loved our Tybee Island stay. Fiddler on the Creek was unique in that it was an older beach cottage on the water. We loved that it was unique but must say the air conditioner was not adequate and the street light right outside the bedroom window was like a sunny day in the middle of the night. These problems could be easily fixed by two things: a bigger air unit and shades or heavier weight curtains on the windows. We loved our Tybee Island experience and the Mermaid Cottage team went above and beyond to accomodate the changes we needed to make after a devastating tornado struck our area. Thanks Mermaids! Thanks to Fiddler on the Creek owner!! We would recommend the home provided the two changes mentioned were made and we were sure our friends would be cool and comfortable ... and not kept awake by the street light.

  This was our 2nd stay @ Fiddler. We already have a reservation for late Oct. and are hoping to come back earlier. We visit Tybee 2-3 time a year and definitely think we have found a "home away from home." When we return we will definately be bringing our Kayaks.

  We absolutely loved our week at the Fiddler on the Creek at Tybee over the Christmas holiday this year. The cottage is so cozy, comfortable, and filled with island charm and character - we felt right at home. With your own marsh side dock right outside your door, it was easy to savor the island's natural environment at any time of day - including the spectacular Winter Solstice lunar eclipse we saw. The location was quiet and very convenient to Tybee's many local sights, beaches, rail trail, Fort Pulaski, and the Lighthouse. We never did eat out but enjoyed cooking our meals in the delightful cottage. Southern hospitality showed its best with the surprise visits from the great local purring gray cat we named "Walks-Right-In." It was truly an awesome and memorable week and we hope to return to Fiddler again soon.

  We loved the cottage. It was decorated with such care and attention to detail. Even the lamps had seahorse finels! The bed and linens were comfy...and best of all the screened porch and also the dock right on the marsh. We bird watched on the dock while eating breakfast and sipping coffee...each morning a huge great blue heron visited and we had an up close view of him...a short walk down the road we saw 10 wood storks! Just a perfect and extremely quiet time...just what we needed. Thanks so much for sharing your piece of Tybee with us!
