From the preparation for our visit, to our checkout, the mermaids were extremely responsive and helpful with all questions and issues. The home was well appointed with all necessities; and it was comfortable, spacious, and beautiful. The location of the home was lovely, just steps from Alley 3, where we spent time enjoying the little beach on one day and also took a kayak tour from there on a different day. We had an incredible time on Tybee and look forward to returning to Vitamin Sea!

Jessica O from Maryville, TN, TN recommends this vacation rental

We had an amazing time at the Mermaid Cottage. The home was very well stocked and close to everything on Tybee Island. We did not have to get in our car until we left because everything was so close. We went with 2 other families and there was plenty of room for everyone. Our toddler especially loved running on the wrap around balcony. Our kids loved it so much! A great yard for the kids as well. Would recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

Beautiful, spacious home with fully-equipped kitchen, great relaxation spaces including an amazing wraparound porch and a separate sleeping porch. Great bathrooms and bedrooms, too. Thoughtfully decorated. Great location only minutes to the beach, but in a very quiet neighborhood. Management was organized, thorough and helpful. Awesome experience.

a guest from CHESTERFIELD, VIRGINIA recommends this vacation rental

House was very spacious, well maintained and provided a lot of outside decks for various views. The open kitchen and den concept was very conducive for meals and family entertaining. Plenty of bedroom space for all. We even took advantage of the outside shower coming in from the beach. There were views of Tybee residences but could not see the water, it was a bit of a walk to access the beach.

Carol K from Hickory, NC recommends this vacation rental

The overall experience was great! The location was perfect for kayakers. The home layout was perfect.
The bedrooms were comfortable and the porch was amazing - especially at sunset. This great home was within walking distance of everything!!
Please don't post the following, but rather share with those who can improve things for the next guests. Some suggestions: The sleeping porch was only half screened, the bottom was open and let in unwanted bugs. This space would have been perfect without the bugs! The kitchen needed some additional items such as additional eating utensils (especially folks), serving utensils (especially big spoons), more serving bowls and platters, cleaner frying pans and or saute pans (those present were chipped, dirty and the coating was pealing off).
- Manager Responded on 5/30/2018
  
  Thank you for your great review and suggestions. We will check into the kitchen needs. Glad you had a great stay. Mermaid Carol

a guest from Milton, GA recommends this vacation rental

Beautiful home & very spacious but it's in desperate need of pest control. We found a # of cockroaches during the stay on both the upper and lower levels.I was disappointed that they didn't leave any beach chairs for guest use and that the bedding was such low quality. I feel like for the price and the distance to the beach they could have done a little more for the guests. Also, just a suggestion, I would have preferred to pay $25 more a night and have use of the bicycles. We tried to rent some but they were sold out. Overall it's a nice rental, just not my favorite.
- Manager Responded on 4/10/2018
  
  We're happy you were here and sorry there was any disappointment on your behalf. We don't offer beach chairs and bikes for lots of reasons (there's no $25 extra for renting bikes~we don't have them!) and you probably saw some palmetto bugs which can try to come in from the rain occasionally, but we have great pest control in all of our homes. For anyone else reading this review the beach is less than a 10 minute walk in two directions, and directly across the street from the kayak launch and fishing piers, so you're pretty darn close. ;) Come back again and we'll find your favorite cottage yet! ~ Jennifer & the Mermaids

I loved this house! The next time I visit Tybee I will try and get it again. I loved the décor,the atmosphere, the coziness of the furniture and not to mention how clean the property was. Most of all, I loved the main porch, I loved laying in the hammock and the many options of places to sit and entertain. I love this house.....

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Vitamin Sea. We came to Tybee for a family wedding and would have loved to spend the week. It was hard to leave. From the well stocked kitchen, and wrap around and screened porches, to the beautiful beach themed decor, we were very comfortable. The walk to the beach took less than five minutes. We look forward to returning time and time again.
The mermaids were friendly, informative, and very accommodating.

Lisa W from RIVERVIEW, FL recommends this vacation rental

We have admired this beautiful home, during or tybee visits, ever since it was built. We were so excited to see it is now a Mermaid Cottage. Vitamin Sea had everything we could possibly need for our family of 6, including beach gear. The multiple levels were not a problem, and the views/ breezes from the decks were heaven! We would love to stay here again. The Mermaid Cottages staff went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.
- Manager Responded on 6/25/2017
  
  Of course, we love our Ward family and so happy to see you back again! I know this trip was extra fun staying in Vitamin Sea. We are always happy to help anyway we can. See ya'll again soon! ......Your Mermaids
