  Luanne H from AUBURN, IN recommends this vacation rental

  Great stay! It was only for two days but we would have loved to stay a few more days. My family and I loved the location and the layout of the house was wonderful! Our dog loved the courtyard. All the smells of critters had him checking out the whole yard, it made him a happy pup! Tammie checked in with me to make sure all was good and to see if I had any questions. Would love to stay here again in the future!

  • Manager Responded on 6/30/2022

  Tessa A from Athens, GA recommends this vacation rental

  We had a great time in Blue Skies. It was just as described and spotlessly clean. The walk to the beach is so short. Mermaid staff kept in touch, but thankfully we never needed extra support. The beds are comfy and there's plenty of dresser and closet space for a longer stay. We cooked a lot, and baked, and the kitchen met our needs nicely. The huge dining room table was great for a family, and can be hard to find in other places. Having both a living room and a den was nice so that people could socialize or chill in different places. We love an outdoor shower and this one was no exception. I would highly recommend this place, especially for a group of adults. Our kids did well sharing a bed, but groups with lots of kids might do better with one room with two sets of bunk beds.

  • Manager Responded on 6/29/2022

    WOW! We're so glad you had such a great visit. WE love sharing our homes with our guests and delighted you were so happy! Please come back and stay with us again soon! Love, The Mermaids

  Sally Z from Colorado Springs, Colorado recommends this vacation rental

  The folks at Mermaid Cottages were kind and helpful from the first contact. All of my questions were answered quickly and the property was just right for our family getaway. The only thing missing was a few lightbulbs and a handrail for the entire stairway.

  • Manager Responded on 5/11/2022

    Thank you for your review Sally! We certainly hope once you contacted us about the lightbulbs that it helped your stay when they were replaced. We strive to have our guests enjoy a 5 star experience and are always there for you to contact us. Hopefully you will let us provide you 5 stars on your next visit. As for the railing this is the first we have heard of there needing to be additional rails. We will take a look at this. Love, Tammy and the Mermaids

  Rebecca A from Knoxville , Tennessee recommends this vacation rental

  We had an absolutely incredible time staying at Blue Skies. The layout is nice. We didn't use the tv room for anything other than a sleeping space, but the fact that every room has a tv was beneficial. All could watch what they wanted! We used the charcoal grill to cook up oysters we gathered. The Easter Bunny hid a lot of eggs in the fenced in yard. The amenities were great. We didn't want for anything for in the kitchen. IGA is close enough that if we needed milk, we could just run down and be back in no time. We enjoyed our stay so much we decided to extend our trip by one night. We will definitely book with Mermaid Cottages again when we come back to Tybee Island.

  Great location, spacious, clean, great fenced outside yard for grilling and dog. No through traffic in front of house to beach makes it quiet. Only negative: a little traffic noise from Butler at yard side of house. Overall, really enjoyed the week and will be back this summer same location for another week. Mermaid cottages staff/Tammy did an awesome job with communication and made sure we were happy with accommodations.

  • Manager Responded on 4/9/2022

    Thank you for your feedback. Since you are one of our Mermaid Repeat guests, you know how important feedback is for our small business. This is how we constantly are working to be an even better company for our guests to use. We always try and be as clear as we can about the location of the homes so our guests understand about where they can and can't use a golf cart. The golf cart companies on Tybee also try and be clear so there isn't any issues for our guests. We''ll work harder at this communication. We also try and problem solve any issues or guests have about our homes. This includes are dedicated 7 day a week Tech Professional to fix TV and WIFI Issues. Thank you again for staying with us and we hope to see you soon. Again, we appreciate your feedback. Diane and the Mermaids

  We had the most wonderful time! Tammy had everything ready long before we arrived. Not only were the floors clean enough to eat off of (though don't do it-use the beautiful table), the rooms were beautifully decorated. Tammy checked daily to see if we needed anything, but since she'd thought of everything, we were fine. I told her to keep her phone charged, because whenever we come back to Tybee, we'll be staying with the Mermaids!

  Kim B from Bethesda, MD recommends this vacation rental

  We had a wonderful time at Blue Skies for two weeks. We were lucky to find this place since we waited late to find a house. It turned out to be in a great location. Close enough to town, but far enough away to not be around so many people. It was so clean and in great shape ready for our family. We felt like we were visiting someone's home. It did not feel like a vacation rental. The management company was fantastic. Very helpful and friendly. They wanted to make sure that we were happy and that we had everything we needed. I would definitely rent from them again when we return to Tybee Island. Thank you Mermaid Cottages!

  Patty W from Ofallon , MO recommends this vacation rental

  The mermaids made our stay at BLUE SKIES so wonderful! Upon arrival the porch light was on and the house had a few inside lights on as well. It looked amd smelled lovely- which was greatly appreciated after our 16 hour drive! The home is located super close to the beach and only minutes from all the shops and restaurants. Tucked off of Butler, it’s location is probably one of its biggest perks! It’s on a quiet lane and has enough parking for 2 cars. Beautiful windows and plenty of light makes this home feel like you are definitely on vacation! Mermaid cottages never disappoint they checked in on us and even helped my husband arrange a vow renewal on our favorite part of the beach. The home was so clean and comfortable. Thank you for such a memorable trip!
