  This is our second visit here and we absolutely love this house! It is beautifully decorated and maintains the vintage 1920s feel. We also love the location as it’s just so close to the main beach as well as the sunset beach! Another absolute gem of this property is the beautifully landscaped and maintained fenced in yard. So spacious and so many areas to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The management company is also so attentive and helpful, thank you Mermaids!!

  Joan H from Hoshton, GA recommends this vacation rental

  Our family of 11 stayed at Whispering Palms for the first time this year after years in another house. We loved the vintage ambience of this restored home with its spaces and nooks for time alone and together. We loved it's amazing outdoor amenities even more! The poolside garden with its walkways, firepit, pergola, and seating areas were our favorite spots in the afternoons and evenings. My husband and I, in our late 70's, loved the spacious screened porch overlooking the garden, and spent hours with our books, cooled by the ocean breeze and the "whispering palms." The back entrance from this area, with fewer steps and sturdy rails, enabled my husband to access the main level. It is not wheel chair accessible. The updated, well-equipped kitchen was perfect for making family meals. Closeness to the beach, shops, and restaurants was amazing. Most of all, the quietness of this location, even as cars turned to access the beach, created a safe, serene environment for all ages. We loved it!

  • Manager Responded on 7/18/2022

    Thank you Joan! We are thrilled you all enjoyed your stay! It is so exciting to know that you will be coming back again next year. Whispering Palms is such a lovely home and Mermaid Cottages is so happy that you have found a happy place to stay! Looking forward to seeing you all again soon! Love, the Mermaids

  We had a great time at Whispering Palms. The house was large and had plenty of room for our entire family of 8 adults and 4 children. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. We were also able to walk to the beach, shops and restaurants. The backyard was beautiful with a pool which the kids loved. The mermaids checked in almost daily to make sure everything was top notch. All in all a great experience and a wonderful time in Tybee Island.

  We have rented many rentals on Tybee Island in the past 10 or so years and the Mermaids are our favorite rental company on the island. Mermaid Cottage Rentals never disappoint and Whispering Palms is our new favorite!!! Plenty of room for all the old folks and the millennials, well-stocked kitchen , an amazing fenced in yard where we hung out most of the time under the gazebo and in the pool. And as always with the "Mermaids" exceptionally clean and inviting! If you are planning a trip to Tybee you need to choose a rental with Mermaid Cottages. No other rental company can measure up to their warmth and hospitality!!!

  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.

  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 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.

  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 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!

  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.

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!

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.
