6 17th Street Tybee Island, GA

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!

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 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! Enjoy your complimentary sample of Mermaid Morning Bliss coffee; a special perk for all Mermaid Cottages guests! 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.

  Kimberly R from Miramar Beach, FL recommends this vacation rental

  From moment we walked in, it felt like home. Although the house has not been updated, it was cozy and comfortable. Had everything we needed plus some. The home was very clean, the rooms were spacious and there was plenty of storage space to tuck away our belongings. Loved the outdoor patio and small storage area, great for storing all our beach toys. Also convenient to have a hose nearby to wash all the sand off. There is plenty of on-site parking. Easily fit 5 cars on our visit. The beach is literally right down the block. Easy walk for active folks, maybe a tad difficult for chronically ill, older or the disabled. Thankfully, there is drop spot right at the end of the road if they need to be driven. Super easy access . You can’t get much closer than you already are by simply walking out the driveway.
  Perfect location with restaurants and shops within walking distance as well. The pier is just down the way and the town hosts occasional concerts and actually had fireworks while we visited.
  Last but not least, I can’t say enough about Mermaid Cottages. Wow! Just wow! They went above and beyond every step of the way. Professional and knowledgeable. Quick to respond and even checked in on us.
  I would highly recommend this home and company.

  My husband and I have been to Tybee 4 times. This was our 1st time to
  rent with the Mermaids but, we will definitely rent from them again. We love the older, historic cottages. Beach haven was comfortable and cozy.
  Close enough to park your car and walk to the beach, stores, restaurants. Catch a sunset-you won’t be disappointed! Thanks for the coffee, Mermaids! We made a trip to SeaSide Sisters to buy more!😊
  Tammie was sweet to give us a call. We were very happy with the Mermaids and you will be,too.

  We always stay with Mermaid Cottages because we have a wonderful stay, whenever we stay. This was the perfect spot for the 4th of July celebration, we where close enough to walk on the beach, shop and eat great food . The grill was ready for our 4th of July cook out and While the younger generation walked down to the beach for the fireworks , I was able to sit out in the yard and watch the display without the crowds !! A great time was had by all !! Thank You Mermaids !!

  • Manager Responded on 7/9/2022

    Beach Haven is just that - the best of both worlds with a little splash of special for everyone! Thank you for staying with us and for the kind words - We hope to see you again soon When you decide on your dates, it is never too early to book ahead for your next stay!

  We absolutely loved our Beach Home. It had everything we needed. The short walk to the beach was super and the ability to basically walk to everything was such a real bonus. The beach was very clean. The home property had a lovely deck and a yard to us to hang out in. Everything was spotless. Big bedrooms and living area. The kitchen was homey and provided everything we could have asked for. Mermaid Tammy was so attentive and helpful and responsive. We definitely have recommended this place to others already. We hope to be back again!

  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!

  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.

  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!
