    Brett J from Ellijay, GA recommends this vacation rental

    This was my first visit to Tybee, and I was extremely impressed with both the island and the home. I certainly hope to return, and if I am not able to stay at Heron Hideaway, I will hope to rent another one of the beautiful cottages from Mermaid rentals. They were wonderful in every regard, with great attention to detail in the home.

    Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

    a guest from Deer Creek, Illinois recommends this vacation rental

    Our family enjoyed our stay at Heron Hideaway. The cottage was very warm and welcoming. We felt at home right away. The walk to the beach was a short 4-5 blocks and the views of the marsh were great. We also loved the screened in porches. We hope to come back to Heron Hideaway again someday.

    Peggy B from Dunwoody, GA recommends this vacation rental

    We loved this cottage so much. The beach is just down the street - the marsh view is stunning - and the game room was a huge hit with my boys. Just be warned that the neighbor's house is VERY close and we could hear them coming and going in the early hours Saturday evening/Sunday morning. I think they live there? But we would stay again - it was so comfortable.

    a guest from Olnmey, MD recommends this vacation rental

    We really enjoyed the place, especially since us parents got the roomy bedroom upstairs with the view. A modest walk to a wonderful beach and a 25 minute drive to downtown gave us all sorts of options. The accommodations are clean and fine. The place is unique which we liked but the three bedrooms are most of the house and the main room could have used a couple of couches for lounging. Lotta fun and thanks!

    • Manager Responded on 4/13/2012

      We appreciate your comments. We will pass along your suggestion about couches to the owners. We are so happy you enjoyed you stay and hope you will be planning a return trip to visit us very soon! ~The Mermaids of Tybee Island

    Teresa W from Mt.Pleasant, SC recommends this vacation rental

    We couldn't have been happier with our stay at Heron Hideaway.The house was lovely,the artwork great! (Still haven't heard back about the artist't info,the Mermaids,one over fireplace,the other upstairs bath.Couldn't find website!)Had wonderful sunsets every night!Be aware that the house is very close to other houses.This is a year round residence neighborhood.Not a problem but a little noisy in mornings with neighbors working outside. We took our bikes and used them for everything.Enjoyed some very good food at Social,twice!Loco's was great too! The owner (and everyone) couldn't have been nicer,she blows a conch shell at sunset with a special cocktail included! We will be back! Oh, the ping pong table was a great perk! Thanks Mermaids! Teresa
