  My friends and I really enjoyed our stay at Roses' Follie. The cottage was super cute and convenient to everything! The beds upstairs were a little too firm for me, but the other girls said the queen beds were very comfortable! It was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. The Mermaid Cottage staff was very helpful in helping me decide on the perfect cottage for our weekend getaway. I will definitely be using Mermaid Cottages for my future tybee vacations!

  My book club friends and I are drawn every year to the Savannah Book Festival. This year we stayed on Tybee. Literature and inspiration by day; uplifting nature and fellowship in the evening. When we returned from our intellectual feast, we walked on the beach, enjoyed great seafood at Tybee restaurants, and then giggled into the night at Rose's Folie. Great girl friend getaway.

  • Manager Responded on 2/23/2012

    So glad you enjoyed Rose's Folie for your girlfriends' Book Festival getaway! Thank you for your comments. We hope to see you back on Tybee real soon! ~Mermaid Mona

  Wonderful house to spend some time. Not sure how loud it would be during busy season, but pretty quite this time of year (November). Couldn't get the internet to work...but it was a vacation and that was really the last thing on my mind. Thanks for having us.

  The staff at Mermaid Cottages were top notch. From before we arrived, during our stay they went out of their way to contact us to make sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The house was perfect, clean, great location. We would highly recommend working with the ladies at Mermaid Cottages! Can't wait to come back next year.

  Rose's Folie was a great beach cottage for our trip to Tybee. We stayed for about a week and enjoyed every minute. It was a nice walk to the beach, and was so close to all of our favorite places on the North Side of the island. It is on a busy street, but that just means you are closer to the action. We'll be sure to use Mermaid Cottages when we visit Tybee next time.

  Amanda R from Columbus, OH recommends this vacation rental

  A group of us girls stayed at the cottage over a long weekend. The pictures do NOT do this cottage justice! It was beyond adorable and perfect for us. The location was great; close to the beach, restaurants, bars, and numerous stores. I was pleasantly
  suprised how easy the drive is from Tybee to downtown Savannah. The only negative was the 3rd bedroom upstairs- felt detached from the rest of the house and a little creepy. Overall it was a great vacation!

• The cottage is the first house behind a gas station and grill which results in traffic noise, but on the plus side the security lights provide light for the parking area.

  The cottage was clean, cute and roomy enough for a family of five, but was on a busy street. We were woken up late a few nights by loud people walking by and didn't feel it was safe to let our dogs out without us.

  Terrell S from Harriman, Tennessee recommends this vacation rental

  My family loved Rose's Folie. Our second vacation to Tybee was a hit! The cottage is well kept and sweetly decorated with all the decor an artist would love! I loved the collections and the books! Comfortable seating and a well stocked kitchen! We bought and cooked seafood instead of going out to restaurants and I felt like a gourmet cook because it had everything I needed including sharp knives!!!!:) The only thing I might say is that you really need mosquito repellent when you stay on Tybee. (I brought some but forgot to use it). Can't wait for a time we can come back and I will definitely be checking out Mermaid cottage again! All 6 of us had a blast, My husband Terrell, myself, Cody (17) Abby (17) Lucy (5) and Chewy (Yorkie Poo).

  We stayed at Rose's Folie for three nights in June 2011. The cottage exceeded our expectations - pictures do not do it justice. Kitchens and baths well-stocked. Beds comfortable. The attic space with the twin beds is very large and had ample room for the kids to spread out and play in their own area.
  
  Highly recommended for families with kids and dogs.

  Elizabeth F l from Alexandria, Virginia recommends this vacation rental

  The whimsical touches in this lovely cottage set the scene for a great vacation. I have two small suggestions: A bannister leading up to the loft bedroom will make it more accessible for children, older people and those who aren't especially agile. Also, the small roof gutter on the front of the house needs cleaning. But other than these minor things, this is a great house in a great location.

  a guest from Charles Town, WV recommends this vacation rental

  Overall, we were very happy with this great artsy cottage. It was so wonderful to be able to bring our dogs, and the dog park was only a 10 minute walk away. I was happy for that since the fenced in section is only the front and side yard (a rather small area for a golden retriever). There is also a back yard area that is unfenced. Like others have said, it is near a busy intersection, and I'm glad I knew that beforehand or I think I would have been very disappointed by that.
  
  I think there are a few items that are showing some age, as happens with rentals. The outdoor furniture could be replaced, and I hope it is done for the 2011 summer season. The chairs in the side yard had a hole in them from wear and tear. The washer also had some mold.
  
  But I can say we were able to overlook these minor things and just relax and enjoy our wonderful Tybee vacation.

  This cottage was amazing!! It was very close to the location we needed to be at. All of us that stayed at the cottage were part of a wedding party, so after the wedding a lot of the guests came to our house. We may have been a little loud for the neighbors, but no one sent the police on us! They were all very understanding! Thank you so much! Would love to stay again in the future!

  a guest from Murfreesboro, TN recommends this vacation rental

  The Mermaid Cottages staff and system are excellent.
  
  Good things about the cottage:
  1. Great kitchen including all the cookware and equipment. A real dining room table would be a plus (it's a vintage picnic table now).
  2. Nice location in the older part of town close to lighthouse and a 10 minute walk to beach.
  3. Really quiet at night.
  4. Price very reasonable.
  5. Wonderful that it permits dogs.
  6. Towels and bed linens very nice.
  
  The little cottage is cute but I would offer a few(hopefully constructive) suggestions.
  1. Providing more blankets for the beds would have allowed us to use a lot less energy during our New Years stay.
  2. A couple more comfortable chairs are needed. The only comfortable seating inside the house is the smallish couch.
  3. Bedside lamps! In our room one had such a dark shade it was useless and the other couldn't be plugged in because the cord wouldn't reach an outlet.
  4. The listing should indicate that the upstairs is best for children. Small hard beds and a shower you can't stand up in. Plus, heat doesn't reach upstairs well in the winter so it's pretty chilly.
  5. This one is just a matter of taste. I found the amount of decoration to be excessive and claustrophobic.

  Loved the cottage. Location on the quieter Northside of the island with easy access to the lighthouse and the north beach. Beds very comfortable. Some issue with adequate comfortable seating capacity in living and dining area, but truly a minor concern. Upstairs a little odd, but would make a great sleeping/play are for families with children. Kitchen up to date and well stocked. Mermaid cottages efficient, expedient, and accomodating from reservations through departure. Unequivocally recommended.

  The Mermaid Ladies were awesome and available. We were slightly disappointed in the third bedroom on the second floor as the very large and spacious room was empty except for the two twin beds. Loved the cozy feel of the home and the location only two blocks from the lighthouse and two blocks from the beach. This was definitely a fantastic location for a relaxing girls weekend!
