The Mermaids are flipping our tails in excitement over our newest Mermaid Cottage! Beach Haven Cottage is a vintage, historic Tybee family beach cottage with tons of history, character and charm!

This ground level cottage offers 3 bedrooms, 1 sleeping loft, 2 baths and an amazing back deck to relax and enjoy the Tybee beach breezes, cocktails and Mermaid Morning Bliss (MMM Bliss!) coffee! Added bonus - it's right next door to another Mermaid Cottage, 17th Street Dream, so if you have a large family gathering or group, you could rent both properties and be next door to each other to enjoy all the benefits of both properties and be literally steps away from the beach!

Beach Haven Cottage is on the beach side of Butler Avenue, so you don't even have to cross the main street; just walk a few steps from your cottage and your toes are in the sand!

Beautifully renovated and recently re-decorated by Tybee Joy, this newest Mermaid Cottage offers everything you could need to enjoy an awesome Tybee beach getaway: A perfect blend of the vintage and the new, it maintains the vintage pine paneling of historic Tybee cottages while also offering updated furnishings and kitchen that will provide guests with a unique beach stay!

Beach Haven Cottage sleeps eight with two bedrooms with king beds, one bedroom with a queen bed, and one sleeping loft with 2 twin beds (note: the two twin beds are upstairs in a loft overlooking the living room so it's not a private bedroom situation), 2 full bathrooms, a spacious, kitchen which is fully equipped to prepare beach snacks or a full coastal feast to enjoy in the cozy dining room or enjoy dining al fresco out on the deck! The glass patio doors open onto a wonderful, spacious deck that offers a great outdoor space to maximize your options for enjoying your time with us on Tybee.

This is a truly special cottage and you will fall in love the moment you walk in! Even from the outside, this cottage exudes charm with the greenery growing up the wall, the deck and the beach just steps away...it will quickly become a favorite Mermaid Cottage!

Note: This is a ground level cottage, but does have interior stairs that lead up to the sleeping loft with the 2 twin beds.

Complimentary off-street parking for 3 cars.

Complimentary WiFi.

  We stayed for a long weekend in Beach Haven circa 1914 and had a wonderful time...the house was very clean and spacious and was in a great location...steps to the beach and walking distance to all the shops and drinking establishments!..we called it the secret house because if you aren’t looking for it you wouldn’t even notice it from the street!..the mermaids are fabulous and checked in with us before we arrived and once we got settled in ...very attentive...I would definitely recommend this cottage!

    Beach Haven is definitely the perfect Girls' Weekend cottage ~ you're right in the thick of it and yet you're removed behind that nice fence. :) Make plans with the Girls to get away again soon... I'm sure you need time away again, am I right? ~ Jennifer & the Mermaids

  Amanda R from Greensboro, North Carolina recommends this vacation rental

  We LOVED our stay with mermaid cottages. It was above our expectations! The staff was great at returning calls and emails in a timely manner which made our pre vacation experience a good one too! The rooms were large, and clean. The only “negative” was that we did not have hand soap at all or nearly enough toilet paper. On the first night we ran out of toilet paper and the convenience store didn’t open until 10am the next morning.

    10/11/20 Thank you for your nice review. We are so glad you enjoyed your visit and hope you come back and see us again. B y the way, we haven't been putting hand soap out because of the coronavirus, don't want the pump bottles left out to allow for contamination. Judy and the Mermaids

  A great place to stay with a large family. The house is beautiful...The only thing is there is no outdoor shower like stated, but still a wonderful place to stay. Great location to the beach, shops and restaurants. Highly recommended, The Mermaid Cottage staff is very friendly and helpful. I can't wait to return.

  The house is very nice... Half block from the beach...The only issue is that the bathrooms are not close to the bedrooms. The customer support was excellent.

  Chris S from Shelburn, IN recommends this vacation rental

  Super clean spacious house with more than anyone should need. So close to the ocean and a beautiful yard to sit outside and relax with friends and family! The yard had plenty of privacy and even a speaker for music to relax while waiting on the rest of the group to get ready. Ocean, shopping, restaurants, Bars, and everything you could want is right there within walking distance. If you have a larger group like we did you get plenty of privacy within the house as well! We arrived a few hours prior to check in and called them and they let us in early since the rental was ready and available!

  Jordan B from Atlanta, GA recommends this vacation rental

  The check-In process was great, the lockbox code was sent well in advance and the house was very clean when we arrived. The yard area was great fun and amazing for an outdoor meal or card games. There was also plenty of parking supplied by the cottage. It was very easy to contact the rental company and they were very quick to help with any questions I had about my stay.
