  The Enlisted Men's Mess Hall exceeded my expectations. The location was perfect for getting to the beach. The cottage was so beautifully done to show the history of the time period. The pet friendliness was super as well. Dutch loved being able to run in one door out the other and make a return trip after a run in the yard. My friend and I were so pleased with our stay. The Mermaids were so easy to work with. The first cottage I had made a reservation became unavailable and I was give an up-grade to Enlisted Men's Mess Hall. I am so glad the first one was not available. Love Love Love this cottage and planning another trip.

  We were delighted with the Men's Mess Hall. The accommodations were wonderful, pleasant, and had a relaxing calm about it. We had wonderful family time which was really important at this time in our lives as our 2 children will soon be going separate directions. We're already talking about a "reunion" in 2 years and my husband and I would like to plan a get away just for the 2 of us next year.

  • Manager Responded on 3/26/2013

    We are so happy to hear you were delighted with Enlisted Men's Mess Hall! We have to agree; it is a wonderful, relaxing space; so glad that you were able to enjoy your family time there! We are thrilled to hear you are already planning a "reunion" there in a couple of years and a getaway next year for you and your husband! We invite you back even sooner; summer is beautiful on Tybee Island! We look forward to having you back! ~The Mermaids of Tybee Island

  Add to the existing bit of sidewalk in front of the gate so that you don't track mud into the porch and house. Have a larger bed in the master bedroom.

  a guest from Home wood, Al recommends this vacation rental

  Had a great visit. New Year's Eve with the family. Great neighbors. Nice crowd but not over populated. Island has wonderful historical signifance, great for long walks and best of all pet friendly . I would have enjoyed finding pet friendly access to the water. If any one has incite I would enjoy a response . In short ?...A Great place. Can't wait to go again.

  • Manager Responded on 1/9/2013

    Thank you for your review; we are delighted that you had a great visit at Enlisted Men's Mess Hall! Tybee, like many beach towns, has made a decision not to allow dogs on the beach. While it is necessary for our guests to abide by that ordinance, it in no way prevents our guests from bringing and enjoying their dogs while staying with us. We are a pet-friendly company and even offer our exclusive Beach Bum Dog Biscuits as a complimentary treat in all of our pet-friendly cottages. Tybee also offers 2 dog parks on the island. We are thrilled to hear that you are already planning a return visit! We look forward to seeing you again! ~The Mermaids of Tybee Island

  We loved our time at the Mess Hall and hope to bring some of our adult children for a return trip. The only negative was having to use the same towels over and over. I really did not want to do laundry on our vacation.

  • Manager Responded on 9/26/2012

    Thank you for your review. We are delighted you loved your time at Enlisted Mens' Mess Hall; as you noted, it truly is a return to a simpler time. As we are a vacation rental company and not a hotel, we do not provide daily maid service/linens. We do, however, provide a set of bath linens each for the number of people the house accommodates and also provide a washer and dryer for guests' use as they desire. We hope you will plan a return visit to Tybee Island and Mermaid Cottages very soon! ~The Mermaids of Tybee Island

  Good location in the quiet North Beach area. We had a lovely time exploring all of Tybee. The weather was beyond anyone's control (both the storms and the extreme heat by the end of our stay) but there's plenty to do at the cottage with puzzles, TV, and internet access. Cottage is cute, well maintained, and just what a beach cottage should be like. Looking forward to visiting again.

  Marilyn H from East Sparta, Ohio recommends this vacation rental

  The Mess Hall rental is just lovely. Location is so unique with the pretty little walk thru the jasmine and palms and creeping fig covered walls on the way to the gorgeous beach. The only problem we encountered was the noise from "Screen Inn", the adjacent cottage. It is the luck of the draw if you end up with a whole bunch of really LOUD kids. Otherwise, it is a perfect place to enjoy this gorgeous island and all it and the area have to offer. The surroundings are just so conducive to peace and relaxation.. even the aroma from the eucalyptus tree adds an unexpected touch to the morning. Our group consisted of myself, my youngest daughter and her daughters, 16 and 11 yrs. We voted this our best getaway ever, winning over places like Nag's Head, NC, Gatlinburg, Tennessee, Vermont, and Lancaster, Pa. I would highly reccomend Tybee to anyone looking for a lovely vacation.

  • Manager Responded on 6/19/2012

    Peace and relaxation....great way to describe The Enlisted Men's Mess Hall! You are right; it is truly a unique cottage and location...and that great little walk to the beach is PERFECT! We are thrilled that you voted this your best getaway ever! We are sorry you experienced some noise from the adjacent cottage (duplex), however please know that anytime something like this happens, we are a phone call away...we want ALL of our guests to enjoy their stay and we were more than happy to call the other guests regarding the disturbance. We appreciate you calling to let us know about the noise issue. We are thrilled that you didn't let this issue take away from your overall experience and we hope you and your family will plan a return visit to Tybee Island and Mermaid Cottages again very soon! ~The Mermaids of Tybee Island

  a guest from Panama City, FL recommends this vacation rental

  We stayed at the EMMH for a long weekend with my siblings, in all we rented three cottages, including Screened Inn which made it super convenient for us to all visit and hang out together. Loved the wrap around porch with plenty of seating, it gave us a front row view of the thunderstorm that gave us quite a show on our last night together. EMMH was the perfect amount of space for my family of four. I do wish we had a beach view and next time would look for a cottage that had a view. Seemed crazy to be so close and not be able to see the ocean. The only negative to our stay was a plumbing problem which left us down a bathroom for the last day of our stay because they were unable to get a plumber out on the weekend.

  • Manager Responded on 7/20/2012

    We wanted thank you for your review and feedback. It is what allows us to continue improving and offering the very best beach vacation experience possible!

  Loved the Enlisted Men's Mess Hall (our 2nd visit) It's like stepping back in time. Perfect location & well furnished. Wished we could open windows, or at least a screen door off the main bedroom for the wonderful air flow. Also, grab bars in the tub would be excellent. See you next year!!

  We couldn't have enjoyed our stay more. The cottage was perfect for the two of us. The porch was so relaxing and so good to watch the world go by in the mornings. Being on the corner the cars went by slowly and bicycles and golf carts drifted by so it was very peaceful. We had everything we needed and the walk to the beach was very direct and simple. We also enjoyed walking to the North Beach Grill and eating at Aj's and Sundae Cafe. My husband and I walked to the pier one morning and the whole island is great for walking. Can't wait to come back.

  a guest from Durham, NH recommends this vacation rental

  Enlisted Men's Mess Hall was the perfect choice for our family of 4 during a visit to Savannah for SCAD Parents Weekend. The cottage is very clean and comfortable and the kitchen has everything we needed to make home cooked meals for our starving art student. The screened porch is a wonderful way to relax and the north end of Tybee is very quite and peaceful. The beach is a short walk. Highly recommend Sundae Cafe, North Beach Bar and Grill restaurants as well as a private boat tour of the marsh land and islands with Capt. Harve Ferrelle of Sweet Lowland Tybee Tours.

  • Manager Responded on 5/1/2012

    We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed Enlisted Men's Mess Hall. The location on the quiet north end is one thing that makes that cottage such a favorite; along with that awesome screened porch!

  My visit to the Enlisted Men's Mess Hall put the Bloom of Spring in my Winter, to quote what John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, once wrote about Tybee. With the cottage's perfect location near the North Beach, I was able to walk to the beach...despite a torn knee... beside large pines, live oaks, and tropical palms, plus many flowers already showing early springtime colors. I felt a part of the island, the neighborhood, staying is this extremely clean and freshly decorated cottage, with just the right amount of vintage touches relating to the historic Fort Screven locale. After a few chats with the island's purrfectly gracious felines, friendly joggers, and a bite of island food, I made a mental not that next time I'll bring Sandy, my beagle, and more sunscreen. This sojourn a bit of a solo retreat, without a doubt I'll return with family to this cozy corner cottage to share in the fun, quirky island lifestyle that makes Tybee so special, and even more so I found when the crowds of summer are sparse, parking is easy, and the mellow mood of winter shines with its own warming glow.

  My sister and I travelled to the US from Australia in Dec 2011, after staying in NYC for ten nights, we were quite homesick. All of that changed once we were dropped off at this cottage, our whole trip finally felt like a holiday. It was just the most perfect stay we could have hoped for. The attention to detail is exceptional, there is not one thing the team at Mermaid Cottages hasn't thought of. The cottage felt clean, fresh and summery. The bed was so comfortable I could have slept all week, and the bathtub! Wow. You could have a party in there. I have stayed in a lot of places, all around the world, and this cottage is without a doubt the best so far. Thank you so much for the blessing of letting us stay here.

  I adored this quaint little cottage. I almost felt like I was living in the time period of the "Big Band". I plan to return soon & often. We met Mary Lou & Gerry of the Mermaid Cottages staff as we were leaving...wonderful & caring ladies, wanting to know if everything was to our satisfaction. Excellent stay & would definately recommend the Enlisted Men's Mess Hall to everyone. I only wish the windows could open (painted shut). Plenty of room & a very well stocked kitchen! Lovely decorations, too. Hoping to return in a couple months & would love to plan an extended stay if possible.

  a guest from Toronto, Ontario recommends this vacation rental

  Our family of 4 (2 children aged 11 and 9) had a very comfortable holiday in this charming ho me. The kitchen was well stocked with the basics (including coffee!)so eating in was easy. The kids loved using the chalkboard (an 'old fashioned' i-pad). The
  beach was a pleasant and easy walk to get to. The only complaint we had was that since it is a semi-detached cottage, from the master bedroom we could hear the neighbour's tv/voices/running children etc. after 10pm as we tried to sleep. Perhaps a note in each
  cottage explaining the 'thin walls' and asking for quiet after 10pm would help and/or moving the location of the tv on the other side. But we are definitely looking forward to staying here again. Thank you so much for your courteous and caring business approach

  The Enlisted Mens Mess Hall was our "home away from home" for 5 nights while we vacationed, celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. It was paradise! The location was awesome - only a short wallk to the north beach, in a very quiet, cozy residential neighborhood. We loved the screenend in porch and enjoyed quiet conversation and a glass of wine each night. The cottage was beautifully decorated and clean. The pictures online just don't do it justice! We had an issue with the TV (who needs TV on vacation anyway, right?) but my husband called and Jan helped us resolve the issue right away. We loved our stay on Tybee Island and can't wait to come back again some day. Thanks Mermaid Cottages for making our stay one we will never forget!

  We were a group of two parents and two young boys, and all had a terrific week at the Enlisted men's Mess Hall. The cottage is adorable, spotless, and well appointed, with plenty of room for two children and two adults. The beach is hardly a five minute stroll away, and the large screened porch makes a wonderful early morning and evening hang-out. The location could not have been more perfect, relaxed and quiet with very friendly neighbors who welcomed us warmly.

  We had such a great time and loved the Enlisted Mess Cabin. It was perfect for our family. This was a predeployment trip for us and it was exactly as we envisioned... relaxing and fun. Thank you! We look forward to vacationing on Tybee again and will absolutely stay in a Mermaid Cottages property.

  We really enjoyed our stay this time. The only change that I would recommend would be to change the air freshener in the living room. It smells good, but is very noisy.

  • Manager Responded on 7/12/2011

    Thank you for letting us know aobut the noise and we have our Mermaids on it now. We are really happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you back on Tybee soon!

  When I waited until the last week before the 4th of July to find a place to book, I was happy that you had a place available. Realizing that I had waiting too long, I assumed that the only place left would be the worst place you had. Our expectations were not only meet; you exceeded them in every aspect. The pictures on the internet didn't do the cottage justice. It was much bigger and looked better than what we had seen on the internet. The location couldn't have been better. We were away from all the hassle, but just a short walk to the beach. The cottage was spotless inside and out. We look forward to going back to Tybee Island and will defiantly rent from Mermaid Cottages again.

  The Mess Hall had a great location on Tybee Island; a short walk to the beach and to the lighthouse. The north side of the island is perfect. The porch was very pleasand in the evening and it was quite hot when we were at Tybee.

  Every June my husband and I book a different cottage with Diane at mermaid cottages and ad always the cottage was exceptional!! Clean, everything you could need for cooking was accessible, and the decoration was comfy and adorable!! The staff at mermaid are very friendly my only complaint was that after driving 8 hrs we arrived at 4 pm and were told to come back in a half hour which was a little discouraging since we were tired and were traveling with dogs. But we are already planning our trip for next year!! The fun part? Choosing one of the mermaid cottages to rent sooo many to choose from!

  We have recommended Mermaid Cottages to several friends since our trip! Not only did we love Tybee, we also loved the cottage - best location on the island! We will definitely be back!

• The cotage is a work of art. Beautiful, warm in every detail, gorgeous outdoor screened porch, pet friendly for our dog Addie (she loved too) and it was the first trip with our 8 month baby.

  The care and love that has gone into this place is felt instantly making it difficulty to leave. Great job Mermaid and we need not look no further for our next stay. If you need additional comments let me know as my partner would gladly provide feedback/review as well. She wanted to move to Savanna after our trip she love it so much!

  Frances P from Silver Springs, FL recommends this vacation rental

  The history of this area is so interesting and staying at the cottage only sparks interest in that history. Particlarly loved the inclusion of magazines as a part of the decor reflecting back to the era when the sottage was used as part of the Fort.
  My only major dilike - and this was due to my son who is physically handicapped and staying with us - was the difficulty in using the shower facilities because of no grab bars (vertical, please) to assist in entering/exiting withtou falling. The staff could not have been more helpful and the ambience of the cottage led us back to a time many years ago. Great proximity to beach, lighthouse and beach. Even our finicky furry family member was comfortable and appreciated the attention to her. My major, major disappointment was in having to leave.

  We really loved the Mess Hall and hope to come back someday! We did notice that the windows were painted shut, and that was a little sad, as it would have been nice to have them open. Thanks again for a great stay!
