  Ms. Opals cottage was an absolutely perfect getaway for our family. The pool was an amazing feature and we felt right at home. The location of the cottage on the island was great—only a short walk or golf cart ride to multiple beach accesses. We have rented from Mermaid Cottages before and refuse to go anywhere else. Their team goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and that you and your family have everything you need. Thank you Mermaids for another perfect trip to Tybee!

  The cottage was everything and more as described. First off, it was immaculate and clean. It was tastefully decorated, the kitchen had everything needed, the beds were comfortable and the location....perfect! The pool house was a delight to spend time in and the way it is painted and decorated is beachy and adorable.

  Gayle Q from Brighton, TN recommends this vacation rental

  Opal’s Cottage was absolutely amazing. The home was exactly as pictures show. The kitchen is very well stocked. There is more room than I initially thought. The salt water pool was so refreshing. The screened porch was a treat to sit and have coffee and take a break at the end of the day. I have rented through Mermaids several years. Mermaids are hands down the best at taking care of their renters. Tammy was a text or phone call easy with answers to any questions I had and to update or check on me during a storm coming though the area. Diane makes sure that this Mermaid crew puts customers first. I love the care and availability of The Mermaids when I had questions. I feel like they are family! I highly recommend Ms Opals Cottage for its history, comfort, cleanliness, private pool, fantastic kitchen and location!

  The cottage was beautiful. Very clean and very nicely decorated. The location was terrific. You could walk to the beach but we drove over to north beach every day. The pool was very nice but got very dirty with leaves and bugs, you could vacuum it every day. Overall was a great rental and I would definitely come back again.

  Excellent house. We also applaud the Mermaid team for the help when we locked ourselves out - whoops! The only suggestion I would make is towels for the pool(we did leave some new ones there) and a few more towels for the guests.

  We so enjoyed our stay at Ms. Opal's Cottage. The cottage is so quaint and relaxing. The pool being heated was absolutely wonderful. Did not the initial shock when you got in. We were able to walk easily to several of the local restaurants.
  The neighborhood was nice and fairly quiet.
  We will visit Ms Opal's again.

  Patrick and Janice S from Savannah, Georgia recommends this vacation rental

  We adored this cottage and the fabulous heated pool and poolhouse. The location is perfect to walk to shops and restaurants, but the modern and well-equipped kitchen was used more often for meals. The only problem we had was with one of the televisions, and, amazingly, the tech man came out at eight in the evening to fix it it for us. We have already booked this cottage again for next year, and are looking forward to staying again.
