  The Blue Heron Cottage was absolutely the best place to stay. Everything about it was great, the cottage itself, the location to the beach, restaurants and just walking. We were completely satisfied with it and would definitely stay there again and rent from the Mermaids. They are a 5 star operaton!!!

  Blue Heron is a spacious beautiful vacation home. The screened porch is just one of the lovely living areas. The living room/dining/ kitchen is very large and all three areas are well appointed. The location is perfect for the beach and the backwater. A perfect Tybee get-away!

  Erin K from Mount Horev, WI recommends this vacation rental

  We began to relax almost as soon as we arrived. The "super-shower" and fireplace were just what we needed for the brief pause in our busy lives. Our interacation with Diane and her ingenue, Erin (from mermaid cottages) was so very pleasant. They dropped by to loan us a crate for our dog, and gave us a good amount of information about local eateries, etc. (Thank you so much, Diane!) We took them up on their recommendations and were not disappointed. Diane came back by to drop off some left-over passes to a local attraction and she is just so helpful and kind. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Tybee, and the Blue Heron home. It felt like it was ours during our stay. My husband said several times that he wants to buy it and live there! Guess he had a good time! Tripadvisor ratings aside, we had a great time at Sting Rays (conch fritters to die for/great musical entertainment), Breakfast Club (fast-paced diner/brasserie atmoshphere, great staff) and Fannies (you MUST get the Jalapeno Bottle Caps - hand battered and amazing) Oh and also sweet potato fries and crab stew at Social Club. Yum to all! I tried to make that crab stew and couldn't do it as well - that's the best recommendation I can give!

  • Manager Responded on 4/4/2013

    Thank you so much for your review! We are thrilled to hear how much you and your husband enjoyed your stay and "total relaxation" at Blue Heron! Yes, that "super shower" will definitely help in the relaxation department! Our goal at Mermaid Cottages is world-class customer service right here on little Tybee Island and we are delighted to hear that you had such a positive expereience with us! One of things that we think shows the specialness of our cottages is when our guests proclaim "it felt like it was ours during our stay"...for our guests to feel so at home in our cottages shows us we are "getting it right!" We truly appreciate your comments, recommendation and feedback and are so pleased that Blue Heron offered you such a wonderful, relaxing experience during your stay! We are also happy to hear you enjoyed your dining experiences on Tybee Island. We hope you will plan a return visit to Tybee Island and Mermaid Cottages very soon; we look forward to having you back! ~The Mermaids of Tybee Island

  Jennifer E from Greer, SC recommends this vacation rental

  The Blue Heron Cottage was the perfect setting for a reunion of four grade-school girlfriends! We woke up each morning of our stay to a refreshing cup of "Mermaid Bliss" coffee. We parked our cars on arrival and didn't get back in them until we left to go home. This cottage is in sucha convenient location. We walked everywhere. AJ's Dockside Restaurant was so close as well as the "downtown area" and the Breakfast Club. The walk to the beach was very quick. I will be going back to this great Historic Cottage...hopefully very soon.

  • Manager Responded on 4/4/2013

    Thank you for your review! We are so happy to hear that Blue Heron was the perfect place for your girlfriends' reunion! You are so right; it is a perfect location; close to everything!

  a guest from southport, nc recommends this vacation rental

  Our visit to Tybee this time was two fold -- first to celebrate our anniversary and relax and to attend Jane Coslick's Cottage Tour which was just awesome. We got to see the results of Jane's renovation of 17 cottages -- all of which were outstanding.
  Our stay at Blue Heron (this was our first time there) was wonderful -- Blue Heron is a great place to stay with all the amenities you could want -- and the new shower -- well, you could spend the day in it!!! The staff, as usual, at Mermaid Cottages is simply superb -- accomodating and responsive in every respect. Overall another great visit to Tybee and thank you to the owners of Blue Heron and of course to Diane and the Mermaid staff.

  Stephanie G from Aledo, IL recommends this vacation rental

  We got there and found our cottage completely clean and stocked with what we needed for our first night. Everyone including our dogs loved the cottage and yard. The little guest dog tags were the MOST thoughtful! Mermaid Morning Bliss coffee on the screened porch the first mornings was perfect. The master bedroom bed and shower were the icing on the cake. The complete quiet in that neighborhood was just what we needed. The staff was amazing, professional and gracious. True southern hospitality. Go there if you NEED a total break from your real life!

  Don Z from Grand Rapids, MI recommends this vacation rental

  We were so glad to discover Tybee Island and what better time than Pirate's festival weekend. Thanks to the wonderful staff at Mermaid Cottages we were alerted to the festival when we booked our rental. My wife and I invited our daughters' and grandsons to join us for the Pirate Fest and we were happy that they could take time to share our first trip to the island.
  The Blue Heron cottage was everything and then some that we expected it to be. It's location was excellent for walking to Town or beach and also very close to the marshes. We enjoyed the cottage,plenty of space,nicely decorated and clean. I would really like to thank Diane of Mermaid Cottages. She was very helpful in recommending a boat tour (which in itself was worth visiting Tybee) and just her down to earth friendly personality making it great to work with Mermaids for our first visit to the island.
  We hold very special memories of our vacation and can't wait to visit Tybee Island again with the help of Mermaid Cottages!

  The cottage was fantastic! Large, open and airy; beautifully decorated; spotless. It had everything we needed. This is the first time we did not stay right on the beach, and we loved it! It's in a very quiet neighborhood. The screened-in porch was a great plus; our kitties loved watching all the birds and butterflies and didn't want to go inside! Will definitely stay here again! Thanks to Diane and all the Mermaids; you are all the best!

  I stayed in August 2012 for several days. Everyone mentions the main bedroom shower and I will too - it is fantastic.

  Thank you for providing such a lovely property for us to relax in while on vacation! The Blue Heron was a lovely home! We were able to walk to the beach and several restaurants. We brought our dog because even though Tybee does not allow pups on the beach we prefer to have them with us. They very much enjoyed the fenced yard and long walks around the island. The kitchen at the house was lovely, and we were able to cook wonderful meals. Best part of the house was the shower in the master bathroom - that was amazing after a day on the beach! We will definitely be back to Tybee and renting from Mermaid is the only way to do it! An outstanding experience all the way around - thank you all!

  Mary M from Denver, CO recommends this vacation rental

  My family of four just left blue heron and we're already planning another stay. The pictures online were great, but the house was better than expected, much more spacious and such a wonderful location! This was our first time on tybee but we hit the jackpot with our first visit. The home is just a short bike ride from the south beach and a mere 3 block walk from a fishing pier where fish abound- we caught a shark! Also you're just down the road from AJ's where you can rent and launch a kayak. The mermaid staff were attentive and checked in to be sure we had everything we needed. The only thing I hope to see updated when we return is the porch couch/chairs. Super fun and funky, but they're a relic for sure, you kind of stick to the vinyl :) this house and the mermaids are true gems, best place on tybee for sure!!!!!

  Amy S from Glade Spring, Va. recommends this vacation rental

  The house was nice, floors were not that clean....had to wear socks to keep our feet clean from dirt and pet hair. However I am aware this house is pet friendly so in the future I will choose a house that is not pet friendly which will take care of that problem. I would recommend this house to my friends who have indoor pets.Other than the floors the rest was super clean! We enjoyed the shower and the nice screened in porch. The tv or cable I'm not sure which kept cutting out but only in the living room.The master bed was super compfortable! Over all I enjoyed our stay with mermaid but next time I will try to get a different house. This was our first yr staying with mermaid cottages, in the two previous years we stayed on the "marsh" or creekside I guess you call it, which was more private (with a different company) hopefully we can find something about the same with mermaid next yr.

  This was our third stay with Mermaid Cottages and our second in Blue Heron. Being a born and raised Georgian, Tybee Island/Savannah has long been my happy vacation place. Since moving north several years ago I haven't had as many chance to visit so we decided to spend a week this summer. As expected, the cottage was in great condition-super clean inside and out. The location is perfect for us. Close enough to the beach to walk there but far enough back on the island that it is peaceful and quiet. The biggest change since our last visit was the new shower in the master bath-amazing and a great addition! The Mermaid staff has always been friendly and helpful and I love how they support local artists and organizations. I would, without a doubt, recommend Mermaid Cottages and the Blue Heron to anyone looking for a spacious, quiet retreat on Tybee.

  We absolutely loved our stay at Blue Heron! The Back River location was so quiet & relaxing. This was our 2nd stay with Mermaid Cottages & once again, they went out of their way to help us & offer a great deal! We have tried a few different rental companies on the island and while all have been nice, Mermaid Cottages certainly towers above the rest in customer service, lovely houses & great prices! Thank you Mermaids!

  This is our fourth year with Mermaid Cottages and in this home. And....for the four year it was wonderful! The mermaid staff is available whenever and for whatever you need....they really make you feel special! Diane is the best - and thus her team follows by her leadership. The home is always clean...and everything is always in perfect working order....honestly the only way it could get better is if we could stay longer! We are so blessed to be part of the Mermaid Family! Thanks to each of you for making our yearly escape to Tybee "simply the best!"

  • Manager Responded on 3/3/2012

It sounds like you have, once again, had an outstanding visit! When guests return again and again, it really speaks volumes about their experience with us. We welcome you as a part of the Mermaid Family and invite you back to Tybee and our cottages to make more wonderful memories! Come see us again real soon! ~The Mermaids of Tybee Island

  The Blue Heron is perfectly situated for kayakers since it is only a block and a half from Alley 3. My non-kayaking family loved the house (as did I) and we particularly enjoyed the great kitchen, large dining table, beautiful back porch, super shower, claw foot bathtub, spacious fenced lawn, and comfortable hammock. Our very discriminating corgi said he's coming back!

  The Blue Heron beach cottage is absolutely wonderful! My husband and I brought my mother to Tybee Island for a Fall getaway trip, and we could not have been happier when we walked through the doors as we arrived at the cottage. The screened-in porch was our favorite! And the master bath shower is definitely an added luxury! The cottage is decorated nicely, and the open kitchen area to the living room was great when preparing meals in the kitchen. The location is great (although it was a little bit of a long walk to the beach for my Mother who is in her 70's)... My husband and I took our bikes, and the area is perfect for a bike ride. I would defintely recommend this property, and I would stay here again. In fact, we are thinking about a much longer stay on our next visit. (Oh.. and the staff at Mermaid Cottages are wonderful and helpful. When we arrived, we were greeted right away and received a phone call from the staff on the second morning to ensure that we were happy with our accommodations! I think this is great customer service! Thank you again, Mermaid Cottages!) We will be back!.... and soon!

  We visit Tybee about once a year and we loved the Blue Heron, it was better than expected. It has a large screened in porch--one of the best features. Lots of room for everyone. You would never believe this place is pet friendly--you cannot detect any previous pets. Our English Bulldog loved it too.
  The beach is about 5 blocks away, but not a problem for us--we either walked or packed up the kids and all their stuff and drove.
  We will probably be using the Blue Heron on our future visits. We have stayed at several places and The Blue AHeron is our favorite.
  Thanks so much for such a wonderful time at Tybee Island.

  The Blue Heron Cottage on Tybee Island was Fantastic. The cottage was very clean with large rooms and had everything we could possibly need. The master bath was wonderful and we loved the screened porch. This was our first trip to Tybee and Mermaid Jan
  was very helpful and took great care of us. Tim from Tim's Beach Gear had the bikes we rented at the cottage when we arrived and picked them up when we left, great customer service. Now I know where the saying Southern Hospitality came from, Tybee and Savanna.
  We will defintely be back and stay at the Mermaids cottages again.

  This will not be our last trip to the wonderful Blue Heron Cottage. We were just so happy with this cottage it is more beautiful than the photos online. at first when we booked this cottage we were concerned about its location but our concern was put to rest it was just a short walk to the beach and shops . We recommend this cottage it fit six just right with lots of room no cramping at this cottage. and the shower in the Master bedroom is like a spa. We have stayed in a lot of places and this is the best. Thank you Mermaid Cottages for doing such a wonderful job .

  The house was wonderful. There were a few minor maintenance issues with the place (ran out of propane, a/c compressor broke down), but I only mention this as a testament to Mermaid cottages commitment to customer service, they were quick to respond and fixed everything rapidly. Altogether a perfect trip and a great place to stay! We will definitely be back!

  This was our first visit to Tybee Island which was a treat in itself. However finding a nice place to stay could not have been easier. The cottage information online for Mermaid Cottages is very detailed and allows you to choose the best fit for your visit. Lemon Drop Cottage matched it's description and looks wonderfully and was a comfortable place to retreat for a weekend away even in February. Although we did not attend the Tie the Knot event on Friday night, it looked fun as we left the beach after an evening walk. We hope to come back again soon!
