  Patrice E from Decatur, GA recommends this vacation rental

  My family spent Christmas 2021 at wonderful Whispering Pines on Tybee. The Mermaid team was absolutely fantastic. Great communication every step of they way. They went above and beyond by decorating the house for Christmas, complete with Christmas tree! The home is so charming and perfectly suited our needs, with a bedroom and private bathroom for everyone. The firepit and pool/garden area are lovely and we ere able to get wood and firestarter logs at the coneninence store around the corner. The location was perfect for us. Short walk to the beach, sunset on the marsh, and last minute shopping in town. Extremely well equipped kitchen, lovely outdoor spaces, beach charm, comfortable beds, plenty of privacy and walk to anywhere you want to go. Even the dog was ecstatic. Perfection!

  The house was perfectly located - close to the beach, close to restaurants and shops. Mermaid Cottages were wonderful with communication. The property had plenty of room for our party of 8 (4 adults & 4 kids) inside and out. The outside area makes you feel like you are in a secluded forest when your less than 2 blocks to the beach. We would highly recommend and would stay here again! Get a gulf cart and keep your car parked at the house. With the gulf cart you don't have to pay to park and the island is easy to maneuver on a gulf cart, plus its a great way to experience the island.

  Whispering Palms is a terrific home in a prime location on Tybee Island. The beach is about a 2 minute walk away, but the home is positioned in a way that it feels secluded. The pool and outdoor areas are top notch and the home was more than comfortable for our group of 6 adults and 4 kiddos. And added bonus is the awesome art that is hung throughout.
  
  One added bonus: the staff at Mermaid Cottages was terrific! Tammy made sure we were well taken care of and informed throughout our stay.

  Hailey W from Debary, Florida recommends this vacation rental

  I cannot express how much this vacation meant to me and my family. We wanted to get out of town because we lost a loved one and figured Christmas would be different this year. This was exactly what we needed. From day one of booking this amazing home, the people at Mermaid Cottages went above and beyond to make this amazing. To be specific, Mermaid Cottages offered to decorate the home with a few Christmas decorations! It was an amazing gesture and one that my grandpa and mother loved so much. The home overall was beautiful. We were able to cook a great dinner every night in the amazing kitchen, have family time by the fire pit on the amazing back patio/yard and have comfortable rooms for all of the family while we stayed. It truly was a vacation we will never forget. The location was perfect, the home was beautiful and we are more than incredibly satisfied with how it all worked out. Thank you Mermaid Cottages for giving our family an experience we will never forget.

  a guest from Bowie, Maryland recommends this vacation rental

  Mermaid Cottages were highly recommended. I booked the largest home to accommodate 6 guests comfortably. Mermaids Reservations staff were very attentive, flexed with my group's size & date changes. Favorite part about the home was proximity to beach & fabulous outdoor patio area. Please consider supplying one evening firepit's worth of kindling and 3 logs. For pandemic safety, we were instructed to bring own soap (? - soap kills virus). Other safety concerns included the kitchen ~ a piece of hardwood flooring popped up, cut/injured guest's foot; in living room -- sisal carpet edge not secured well (tripping hazard). Called management about these, they acknowledged but I dealt with both hazards. Also reported not-properly-working cieling fan, pool needed cleaning. Living room furniture's white slipcovers were not clean enough. This rental cottage, though lovely, did not meet my expectations for the $$$ price.

  We had 3 generations visiting from Virginia. He were a bit nervous about traveling during a pandemic, but Mermaid Cottages were excellent and really made us feel like they had things under control. The property was clean and beautiful. We loved every moment. The kids only got out of the pool long enough to eat, sleep, and play in the tide pools. We all enjoyed hanging out on the beautiful screened porch and the awesome yard! This was our 4th trip to Tybee, but only our 1st in a Mermaid Cottages rental. It won't be our last! We can't wait to get back to Whispering Palms. You all are doing a great job and we'll recommend you to anyone wanting to visit Tybee.

  We absolutely loved our stay. The home is what I think of when I hear beach house. Full of character, beautifully and tastefully decorated, fully stocked with everything you could need. Plenty of space for our large group to spread out and to gather as a group. The landscaping was amazing. Also, the Mermaids went above and beyond with thoughtful touches and the best check out procedure possible for a rental. Felt luxurious. Loved the cute bathrooms. Excellent location. Short walk to inlet or beach. Short walk to rent bikes. Ice cream all over the island. My husband and toddler were down for the first part of the week and we adored the vintage high chair. It was perfect and I am now on the hunt for one like it. Can't say enough about this historical home. Would stay again.

  Whispering Palms, set in the perfect location on the island, provided a perfect place for our family to relax in May. The home is well maintained, clean, and beautiful. The pool was a favorite for the teenagers who would settle there after cruising the island on bicycles each day. I loved the coffee kindly provided by Mermaid Cottages, but once I'd drunk it dry, the inn next door-just a few steps- offers wonderful options for espresso before a few more steps to the beach. I would have stayed all summer. It's perfection, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to have spent our week in the palms.

  a guest from St Louis, MO recommends this vacation rental

  Beautiful, spacious home that's great for a multiple families. Yard was fully fenced with different areas to hang. Perfect for multiple families as you can all be together but spread out as well. VERY close to the downtown area with bars, restaurants and the beach. We rented a golf cart (Tybee Golf Carts) but was so close we didnt even use it. Great customer service though at Tybee Golf Carts. Bathrooms and Kitchen were updated but still had an island feel. Best part for us was the screened in porches! Management was very responsive when I have questions and I will definitely rent from Mermaid Cottages again.
  
  Only negative - this property in on the primary street to the "locals" beach. Every day from 2-6pm there were cars lining the fence of teenagers walking to the beach. That is fine but what shocked me was they were very obviously locals and just threw their empty alcohol cans/bottle all down the street and over our fence. Every morning I cleaned 8-10 beer or seltzer cans out of the landscaping. Tybee needs to invest in more public trash cans on that street if that is the norm.

  Our stay at Whispering Palms was perfect! We all loved the house. It has everything you need for a long or short stay. We had a big group of ladies and what we loved most about the house is that there are so many balconies and sitting areas inside and outside. We had so many places to sit and chat and also so many places to have a little privacy when you wanted to break away. The location is great too. So easy to want to the beach and to the shops and restaurants. The property managers were very communicative and were so kind to send little texts to check in with how the stay was going and to warn about possible bad driving/weather conditions. I would rent this property again any day.

  We had a fun family vacation experience with 6 adults and 3 children, ages 16, 13 and 9. There was plenty of room to spread out and to give each of us space. The pool added lots of laughter and entertainment especially for the kids. The walk to the beach was pleasant. I especially enjoyed walking to the river and then to the pier. The sand is hard and flat for easy walking. It was interesting to observe the quiet river area as it became busier as the pier area neared. There was a nice breeze.

  This was our 6th stay on Tybee Island and in a Mermaid Cottage. There were 12 of us staying in Whispering Palms and it was amazing. The location is perfect and only a block from the beach. Even though it's located near all the action of South Beach and the pier, it feels like it's own private island. We spent most of our time in the backyard, pool and screened in porches. The house is big and open so everyone had their own space and nobody felt cramped. The kitchen was great for family dinners and cookouts. Loved the vintage vibe and attention to detail. The housekeeping staff were so friendly when we arrived a little early and Diane and the mermaids were all fabulous in accommodating us. Can't wait to book next summer!

  Whispering Palms is in a GREAT location. Short walk to the beaches, piers and town area. Their are many porches and sitting areas to get away from the crowd if needed. Staff was more than helpful and tuned in on our needs. I always felt that a vacay house needed to be directly on the beach but this location changed my mind. We walked nearly everywhere we wanted to go. One drawback was the heated pool. The pool is between a hot tub and a pool and did not really meet our expectations but this was not a game changer.

  We rented this house for a family vacation and we were very happy! It is in a great location and there was plenty of room for 10 of us. All the bathrooms except for the master are "vintage" and small but functional. Mermaid Cottages were very easy to work with and responsive to any questions/needs before we checked in and while we were there.

  Karen Z from Colorado Springs, CO recommends this vacation rental

  I hate to rave too much on this property as I want it available next time I want to book. This property was PERFECT for my extended family of 12. So much space. Kitchen has everything you need. The location is a short walk to the ocean and the back river!
  Diane went above and beyond when I arrived early.
  Highly recommend AOK Watersports for a paddle boarding adventure.
  Tybee is the perfect beach vacation if you want to stay away from a resort town!

  The vintage home had the charm and some of the inconveniences of an older home--smaller kitchen and a couple of the bathrooms were really small. The outdoor areas were wonderful--my family loved the jacuzzi pool, and we couldn't have had a better location!

  Our family stayed recently in May and we could not have chosen a better place to stay and a great rental company to work with. The location is close to all the beaches and stores and resturants. The house was large and lovely with its decor. The recently upgraded master bath is awesome! The pool and backyard is lovely and large.Not only did we have a great time with our family but our son proposed to his fiancee on the nearby beach! We cannot wait to return to this little bit of paradise!

  My whole family was extremely pleased with our stay at Whispering Palms two weeks ago! Our son got married that Saturday and this home provided the perfect place for our large family to gather - to eat, sleep, relax, soak in the heated pool - and to just enjoy some downtime in between wedding events. We had several family members comment that they would like to rent this for future visits to Tybee. I know that we will as well!! Thank you so much for making our stay so incredibly comfortable! This home and outdoor space was more than we could have asked for!

  Vivian B from Hinesville, GA recommends this vacation rental

  A group friends and I wanted to spend The Passover, Pasach in an intimate environment instead of a hotel. We wanted together as a family for meals and still have privacy with our spouses. So we decided on Tybee Island most importantly the Whispering Palms. It was amazing, it had everything that we needed and more. Well stocked with the essentials in the kitchen, pots, pans, silverware and bowls. Very clean and well kept, like it was our own home. Very quiet with a large privacy fence and walking distance to the beach.

  Simply put, our experience at Whispering Palms was outstanding. Every detail of the house was exceptional and the distance to the beach was perfect for our needs. You have done a wonderful job with the pool, garden areas and the interior of the home. We look forward to staying again! This was our first trip to Tybee Island and the Georgia coast and we could not have picked a better home or rental company to stay with.

  The house was amazing!!! The pool was heated and was awesome for late-night swims. The back yard is so private it almost feels like you're miles away from the world. The house has so much character and is super cute. The kitchen is stocked very well. We walked to the beach a few times. Having the convenient store a block away was great. A liquor store was also within walking distance.
  
  You will LOVE this house!!!! It's great for a girls weekend. 13 of us slept comfortably.

  Whispering Palms was more than we expected!! The outdoor living spaces alone were amazing! We had two families staying together and this house had more than enough space to accommodate us. Everything was clean and in good working condition when we arrived. The location was perfect for our group--short walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. It DOES get busy with all of the public parking around, but it didn't affect our stay. The porches and yard/patios were awesome! We loved the pool/whirlpool (small pool with jets) and the kids took turns in the hammock! It is a three-story home, so lots of stairs to consider. We would definitely stay here again!

  Whispering Palms was absolutely perfect! Stayed during St. Patrick's Day holiday and the shuttle into Savannah was just a short walk a few blocks away. The house itself was magnificent - beautiful gardens out back and loved the heated pool/spa. Tybee Island is a perfectly laid back beach town - Can't say enough how perfect a fit this was for our family.

  We had family in from Florida, Ohio & GA for an 88th birthday party and wedding. The property couldn't have been more perfect for our group. We had both chilly and warm weather so enjoyed the fire pit, hot tub/pool and sunning on the patio all in one weekend! The kitchen accommodates multiple prep/cooking people and has everything needed to prepare meals for a crowd. There are more than enough place settings, glasses, etc. The grill and oven/warmer made everything flow. It was also nice for some of us to be able to put kids to bed with grandparents in the house and walk to the bars! We biked to anything we couldn't walk to. Overall, an amazing weekend, thanks to the Mermaids!

  The house is large and perfect for a large family beach vacation. Being an older home and a popular rental, there were a couple of minor issues with the property's condition, but everything was quickly addressed by Mermaid Cottages, whom were very nice and helpful to deal with throughout the entire stay. They were very quick in getting back to us with answers or maintenance to our requests and easy to work with. The house itself is well appointed for a beach vacation and the backyard is incredible.
