  • This charming ground level cottage is on family friendly Lewis Ave and sits right beside Crabby Pirate Cottage. This makes the two cottages ideal for two families or a gathering of friends or just the chance to be close but not stay in the same cottage.
  • Our backyard is incredibly special. We have a patio area, a covered area- fully fenced in. Grill and lots of seating. Best of all- it leads to the dock!

    We met our daughter, son in law and our grand daughter at the Horsepen creek cottage. It was a beautiful house very clean. Loved the back yard and dock. We had a lot of fun there. I would highly recommend the Mermaid Cottages. We had to call them to ask for late check out and they were very responsive and helpful.

    a guest from Brevard, NC recommends this vacation rental

    Everything was great! There was a problem with the wi fi but it was resolved very quickly. The tech guy was friendly and professional. He came to the cottage and got the problem "fixed". The dock/pier lights did not work but that did not really affect our stay. The fenced in back yard was wonderful to have since we took our dogs. It was nice to be able to let the dogs out and sit out back. The neighbors were friendly. We would stay there again.

    • Manager Responded on 12/31/2012

      We are so happy to hear you had a great stay at Horsepen Creek Cottage! We are glad that our Tech got you up and running with WiFi quickly! Thanks for letting us know about the dock lights; we will definitely have our maitenance staff address that issue. We appreciate your feedback and this is what allows us to continue improving and continue offering our guests they very best beach vacation experience possible! We hope you will plan a return visit to Tybee Island and Mermaid Cottages very soon! ~The Mermaids of Tybee Island

    This was our 3rd vacation stay with Mermaid Cottages. We loved everything about Horsepen Creek Cottage. It had everything we needed and the layout, etc. was perfect for our family of six. We also really enjoyed the dock and marsh view. It's a healthy walk to the beach, which didn't bother us at all. Would love to stay here again!

    We had a great time in Tybee - adults and children alike. The king and queen beds were much firmer than we are used to. In general it would be helpful to have additional towels and wash cloths.

    a guest from Huntsville, AL recommends this vacation rental

    Our children actually stayed in Horseshoe and we were next door in Crabby Pirate. Because of space and having a dishwasher we cooked and ate at Horseshoe. It is a very comfortable cottage and the dock over the marsh is a great gathering place. My grandchildren loved the outdoor shower. I would reccommend this cottage and also renting the two cottages, Horsepen and Crabby Pirate, for a large family.

      Thank you for your review! We are delighted to hear how much you and your family enjoyed Horsepen Creek Cottage & Dock! And, you are so right; it is great to be so close to Crabby Pirate for a large group to rent both cottages!

    My husband and I treated our son, wife and three grandchildren to a Tybee get-away. Unfortunately, we chose the hottest weekend ever, but despite the heat we had a great time. The house was very kid friendly and had everything we needed. A bit far from the beach, but the dock was nice, too.
