  We had a great second trip to Tybee and the Pink Flamingo! We were welcomed with a clean & cute house and with a phone call from the wonderful Mermaid Cottage people. The Pink Flamingo has charm, comfort and a great location. Our family (two teens and two adults) appreciated the two full bathrooms and all the little extras that are remembered- beach stuff, paper products, ready-to-use kitchen, extra blankets to name a few. The location is a short walk to the beach and downtown. The street it is located on is quiet and has friendly neighbors. We SO enjoyed our stay and are trying to figure out how to come back soon. THANK YOU Mermaid Cottages and Pink Flamingo!!

    Wow! We are thrilled that you & your family found your second stay at Tybee so enjoyable! Everyone loves Pink Flamingo; just a cute, cozy cottage; and you are right; it's on a quiet street in a great location. We are doubly thrilled that you are already planning a return visit; we look forward to hearing from you! ~The Mermaids of Tybee Island

  We arrived Monday & had a little problem with the key pad. We called the management co & they immediately told us what to do & we got right in. The cottage was absolutely charming. My girlfriend & I were enchanted by all the whimsical decorations. We stayed 4 days. Always had plenty of hot water for showers. I wish we could have stayed longer.

    You are so right! Pink Flamingo is enchanting! So glad to hear how much you enjoyed your stay! Tybee is a place you want to return to again and again, so we will look forward to seeing you again! ~The Mermaids of Tybee Island

  Only complaint was, we suddenly realized there was no more toilet paper. Suggest maybe some could be stored in a secret location for emergencies? We will definitely choose Mermaid Cottages again in the future, but would have wished for the option to close (non existent) curtains on the windows of the side porch. Blessings upon all your endeavors.

  Want to say yet again a big thanks for the Beach Reatreats for Heros! The wife and I loved our cottage. The Pink Flamingo is very nicely located and well decorated cottage. They also had everything there for you including bikes to ride to the beach or store. We will be going back again real soon!

  Our stay at the Flamingo Cottage was wonderful! We couldn't believe the attention to detail, right down to matching shampoo to the bathroom colors! It was adorable and comfortable. We walked to the beach and were in short distance to everything on the
  island. Every attention to detail was attended to. The cottage had everything we needed and was just a joy to stay in. It was comfortable and provided a needed retreat! We would definitely stay again! The Mermaids were super!

  We felt the cottage was perfect and have recommended it to many of our friends. The only recommendation we would offer would be to have a small cooler available so we could have taken beverages to the beach. Our stay was absolutely wonderful. Loved everything about it and can't wait to return!!!

  Diane C from Asheville, NC recommends this vacation rental

  I thought the property managers were super helpful and made the place cozy and fun! They were nice to call and make sure we were settled OK. Would have liked a little more storage space. I had to leave my clothes on the day bed which would have been a problem if there were more of us and the dresser in the other bedroom (pink room in the middle) had broken doors so was barely usable! Loved the outdoor shower and cute little patio on the front! Will definitely be back!

  My family certainly enjoyed our time at Tybee Island. This was our first time visiting Tybee, we found out about mermaid cottages in an old Southern Living magazine. We were so pleased with the accommodations. The house was clean and loaded with many extras.
  It was close to the beach and the street was great to ride our bikes on. In fact we rode all over the island on the bike route. I would love to come back. The only drawback was that the house is right on top of the neighbor’s pool and it was a bit noisy when
  they are in the pool at 3am.

  We love Mermaid Cottages! Diane was fabulous and David! They helped us with numbers for a wrecker service as we broke down on our way in! The ease of check-in is fabulous and the coffee amazing! I did want to let the owners know the cottage had not been dusted. Bathrooms and floors were clean. We will definitely recommend Mermaid cottages to other friends. There should be more rental companies like you! The nightly rental was fabulous. Happy Summer!

  Sassy fun décor. Lovely homey touches (bikes, beach towels).
  
  You might want to check the attic for wildlife and tune-up one of the bikes.

  This cottage was perfect for this get away with my parents. They were comfortable and the location was perfect- within walking distance of the beach, grocery and some restaurants. Beach items were available in the house which made it very easy!We went on a deep sea fishing trip with Captain Brad from Amick's and would definitely come back to this cottage and fishing with Captain Brad!

  My daughter, myself and her friend enjoyed the cute cottage. It was near the beach and easy to get to things by walking or bike. The TV was annoying however as it was small and way up high so watching it was uncomfortable.

  As a family of 4, we loved our stay at the pink flamingo - there was plenty of room to sprawl out and just enough amenities to keep us entertained. We loved taking the wagon over to the beach for the afternoon and coming home to the cute outdoor shower. The bikes were a nice treat to ramble around the neighborhood, too!

  Patty G from Kennesaw, Ga recommends this vacation rental

  But I do have a few suggestions:
  
  1. Information Book - needs a section about the TV. Especially the cable system it was on.
  
  2. Cottage seemed to be set up for tall people. The dishes were hard to reach and the ceiling fans were impossible for two short women.
  
  3. In the front bathroom - there were at one time four hooks - two are missing and one keeps falling out. It would be nice to have more hooks.
  
  4. Layout of the cottage was kind of quirky. Having to go through a bathroom or a bedroom to get to the other bed/bath isn't always convenient. If I had known - I might have chosen another Mermaid Cottage.
