"Memories at the Beach" are waiting on y'all!

1411 Jones Avenue, Tybee Island, GA 31328 This fully renovated cottage faces East and is hidden behind a canopy of grapefruit , orange, fig and lime trees. No smoking - even on the porches, please. This mid-century, all-electric home has been restored using the "reduce, reuse and recyle" concepts. The owners were as "green" as possible - the "Energy Star" high efficiency washer, dryer, refrigerator, bamboo blinds; and all the rooms have ceiling fans to circulate the air inside and all light bulbs are CFL. We do have an outdoor shower ( solar powered) but it is NOT enclosed- but still a great hot and cold outdoor shower. The original 1950's bathroom is still Mamie Eisenhower pink which was the color of choice for the women of the 1950's. The 2nd bathroom is a large walk in shower with rain forest shower head. Our guests love this shower!!! This cottage is the beach home of a couple from Tennessee who had discovered Tybee a few years ago . This beach haven reminded them of the shore towns they had visited as a children. The home is a summary of the owners' love of the ocean, coastal south and the wonderful memories they have from trips to the beach. They look foward to sharing their cottage with others who need a peaceful retreat to rejuvenate and create Memories at the Beach with their family and friends.

    There were a few things missing from Memories. The website description said "outdoor shower" but it wasn't an enclosed shower. That's my #1 priority in choosing a home. I was EXTREMELY disappointed. Home could have used a drying line and a front/side yard
    hose. Otherwise wonderful house--roomy, cool (loved the fans), well appointed

    We had a wonderful stay at Memories at the Beach. The cottage was clean, cozy and comfortable. The beds were comfortable, the towels were soft and fluffy, and everytime I looked around at the decor, I saw something new and cute that I had not noticed before. We all loved it, including our dog, Rosie, who loved relaxing on the cool tile floor.

    Robin S from Fredericksburg, VA recommends this vacation rental

    The cottage was very homey & charming. The kithchen was fairly well stocked (we bought a spatula as we could not find one). My only complaint there were no empty cabinets in the kitchen to store our non-refrigerated food for the week. Suggestion to cleaning staff....the tile floors need mopped occasionally. Ceiling fans in every room added to the comfort and charm of the cottage.

  •  

  • This was our 4th year in a Mermaid Cottage and we have not been disappointed at all. This cottage was perfect for my family (my husband and myself and our 2 daughters) and my parents.

    Stacey M from Evans, GA recommends this vacation rental

    The kids were able to have their space in the 2nd living room and we all enjoyed both porches very much! All of the extra kitchen spices were great and saved us from having to buy everything when we wanted to grill seafood. We loved the convenient location and walked everywhere. The cottage was very comfortable (the beds were awesome!) and felt like home! I would make one suggestion for the bathroom in the back of the house to have a couple of hooks on the door for an additional place to hang bath towels or for those guests with hanging organizers (since counter space is limited). We loved this cottage and would love to stay there again..we made great memories, especially with our late night monopoly games! Thank you to the owners for sharing such a wonderful home away from home and thanks again Mermaids for providing wonderful (and budget friendly) vacations! We have always been so grateful for your dedication to providing great accomodations without breaking the bank, something I'm sure many people can appreciate in times like these. It's why we keep coming back! We will see you next year!

    • Manager Responded on 7/7/2011

      Thank you for the suggestion and so glad you had a wonderful stay. See you next year!! Book early to insure first choice!!!

  • An amazing vacation thanks to you. The house was perfect, cute, and close to everything. we loved it and will certainly tell all our friends.

    Barbara G from Powell, Tn recommends this vacation rental

    The cottage was perfect for vacationers who were visiting with their dogs since the floors were tiled and the back yard fenced. We were a party of 4 adults and 2 Norfolk terriers, who really enjoyed the visit. The comfortable beds, screened in front and back porches, comfortable furniture, fireplace, dining area, front yard furniture, all made for a relaxing & enjoyable vacation. At night it was an easy place to find with the blue lamp light. It was 4-short blocks to "Sting Ray", a very good seafood restaurant. The kitchen was well stocked with everything one would need, if they were cooking. Our description does not adequately describe the quaint nicities of this vacation location. Should we come your way again we would certainly request this same property again.
