  • The 2nd bathroom is Tybee quirky. The toilet and sink is in one room and the shower in another room. This is in addition to the 1st full master bathroom which is in Lettered Love master bedroom

Located directly behind historic Officer's Row (John Mellancamp is our neighbor!), this quiet part of Tybee is close to the Lighthouse and North Beach. Ground level, fenced-in yard, tall ceilings and extra large windows allowing tons of natural light to pour in. This home has been totally re-decorated and designed. Layla Palmer of www.theletteredcottage.net was our decorator and even wrote an emagazine about her work. Visit her website for the details! Full of art from local artists and vintage finds, comfy furniture and best of all the extra large screened porch with rocking chairs. Truly a southern charmer of a home! Note- because this home is a historic home, the 2nd bathroom is split with the shower in one room seperate from the rest of the bathroom. Yet another unique feature of our home!

    Amy S from Pineville, Ky recommends this vacation rental

    Despite me changing our reservations, and other issues that I caused, the Mermaids were exceptional to us. I couldn't have asked for nicer treatment. The house we rented was called the "screened inn" and it was exactly as it was pictured and described. I have already recommended their company to many of my family and friends, and we plan to use them again.. :-)

    Jacqueline W from Decatur, GA recommends this vacation rental

    A wonderful spacious rental house!!! Perfect for a large family. Several kid friendly seating and play areas. Plenty of sleeping space. The bathroom that connects the kitchen and master bedroom is odd, but it was not as bad as I imagined. The location is excellent. We parked the car and rode our bikes all over the island. The Screened Inn was even better than I imagined. A perfect vacation!

    • Manager Responded on 10/29/2011

      So glad you enjoyed our Screened Inn! With the park so convenient it really is a great place and location for families. If we can help with you next trip, please let us know.

    This property was in a great location and was so charming. The Screened Inn is beautifully furnished and decorated. We will definitely book again with Mermaid Cottages on our next trip to Tybee Island. It is obvious they take great care in making their
    cottages a home away from home. No complaints...can't wait to get back to Tybee!

    David A from Henrico, Virginia recommends this vacation rental

    A very nice visit to a quirky and cool island. The house was super cool with a very nice farmhouse feel. Really enjoyed the park behind the cottage as well. The beach was nice, but lots of jellyfish the week we were there.

    The layout of the house is quirky. It would be difficult to accomodate the number of people it could sleep because of the layout. But it was a great place for the 4 of us!

    Merri B from Trion, GA recommends this vacation rental

    We loved the cottage and decor. My only suggestion would be to provide more towels, wash cloths and toiet paper. There were seven of us so 2 rolls of toilet paper did not last long and I had to wash towels every day. Thank goodness for the washer and dryer.

    a guest from Marietta, Georgia recommends this vacation rental

    The Screened Inn was perfectly quaint -- decorated beautifully, complete with plenty of room and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The bathroom locations would have proven awkward if there had been more than two of us -- but because it was just us, it wasn't a big deal. The jaunt to the beach was OK, though we would've preferred it to be closer.
    The BIG surprise to us was we weren't the only guests, apparently. At night, we heard a knocking on the wall ... another night, we heard the knocking and someone scrubbing the floors. I'm a big fan of spirit activity, so it wasn't scary! Just didn't expect it ... innkeeper confirmed there's an old military officer who hasn't quite left the building!

    But we'd go back in a heartbeat:)

    Cynthia D from Memramcook, NB recommends this vacation rental

    We would definitely go back. The cottage was great. Could walk to the beach so didn't have worry about parking. It would be nice if there was a small cooler provided by the cottage to make it easier to pack a lunch when heading to the beach. Loved that it was a very quiet and private area.

  •  
  • Great Place to Stay. The people were very helpful.

    Only problems were that the dryer didn't work and one of the legs on the table in the living room fell off when we tried to pull it out from the wall. However, I would stay there again. Everyone that stayed with me said that they loved it.

    Suzanne G from Simpsonville, SC does not recommend this vacation rental.

    We loved the 'feel' of the cottage and the decor. It was very clean and comfortable. However, and unfortunately a pretty big however...the bathroom situation did not work at all. You walk thru the restroom which is directly off the kitchen to get to the master bedroom. If you need to use the bathroom (& you're not staying in the MB) you don't have any privacy from the kitchen or the MB which at night is no fun. We did have a great time on Tybee and overall loved the cottage. Having the walkway to the beach was also great.

    This cottage is great for families. It was like staying in a house out of a magazine. The amenities were great and the furnishinngs were beautiful. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly and in close proximity to everything. We enjoyed the cottage and will definitely stay there again!

    Andrew L from Thunderbolt, Ga recommends this vacation rental

    The cottage was very cute and inviting, but I want to share a few things with you just to make the next guest's stay even better. I am a big-time cook, and I felt as though the kitchen was lacking some basic essentials for cooking. A colander, more optional sizes for pots & pans, and basic spices would have been great. We also had to get the maintenance man to fix a clogged kitchen sink on our first day due to a plastic spoon wedged in the pipe from the last guest. A simple screen over the kitchen sink drain would prevent such items (and food) to not go down the pipe. We also noticed a dirty cleaning rag left out on the porch. Our stay was FANTASTIC, and we will definitely be staying with yall again. The cottage was beautifully decorated and comfortable, and our family felt right at home. I only mention the above things to help make the next guest's stay even better than ours, and we had a wonderful time! Thank you!!
