  Cheryl W from Atlanta, GA recommends this vacation rental

  The home is in a great location, 2 blocks south of the the main restaurant/bar district and thus out of the traffic, an easy short walk to the beach, with ample room to park 3 cars. Plenty of hang out space on the main level, nice porches, large kitchen, and roomy/quiet separate suite in the basement. The owner supplied many items (coffee maker, blender, etc.) not normally found in a rental. Great having the washer/dryer onsite. The unit was clean, and both the owner and property management company were very proactive with customer service and touching base to make sure everything was good. We have rented other places nearby, and this home was much better in all aspects. We had 5 adults, and there was plenty of room for all of us.

  Clamdigger is the best. The vintage furniture and art in the house adds to a calm and comforting environment. The downstairs room was perfect for my newlywed nephew and niece in law. Totally wel-appointed kitchen, and plenty of visiting rooms. The outside porch was where we stayed for most of the stay. Pet Friendly. I will come back!

  a guest from Stockbridge, GA recommends this vacation rental

  Loved everything about this beach home, everything was as advertised. We enjoyed the different living areas inside and out, big kitchen with good appliances and supplies, really comfortable beds, spacious bathrooms. Located within walking or short drive to 3 beach access points, perfect for getting our elderly family member to the south end for surf fishing. Should also mention the artistic decor, interesting collection of board games, and the privacy of the ground floor suite. We enjoyed being on a quiet side street tucked away from the noise of the pier area which was close by.

  We had the most amazing time at Clamdigger! Everything was very clean, beds were very comfortable and the location was perfect! We loved our short walk to Back River Beach and had the whole beach to ourselves! The screened in deck was so peaceful and we loved spending evenings on it. Our children loved dancing in the living room to music from the record player daily! The house had everything we needed and more! This was our second time using Mermaid Cottages on Tybee and we will absolutely be using them again if or future trips! Thank you for a mermazing stay!

  Overall, we had a great experience. The house was cute and had pretty much everything we needed. On the cleanliness side, the floors were dirty. It seemed like they had been vacuumed but not mopped in a while. My 3 year olds feet were constantly black.

  a guest from Roswell, Georgia recommends this vacation rental

  This was a really nice getaway weekend with friends. The cottage has a separate downstairs bedroom with a nice shower. Upstairs has 2 bedrooms that share a bath - it's an old style clawfoot tub, so a little awkward to shower in but it works. Fantastic screened porch, and a couple of living room areas - we had plenty of room to spread out and relax. Walkable to the beach, restaurants, shopping, etc. We rented bikes (shout out to Tim's bike rental, they are fantastic, and they deliver bikes to you), and never used the car the whole trip. Thank you, Mermaids! Can't wait to come back.

  This home is unique and charming. Each room is decorated with care and there are lots of options for group time or solitude. The location is peaceful considering how close you are to the action!

  a guest from Berea, Kentucky recommends this vacation rental

  We rented 2 cottages side-by-side so the grandchildren could visit the grandparents anytime and not have to cross a street. The cottages Clam-digger and Sandpiper were perfect! We were within easy walking to the beach and the screened-in porches were perfect for quiet morning coffee, lazy afternoon conversations and the occasional rainy day siesta.
  Both cottages were comfortable and accommodated family gatherings. The Mermaid professionals were spot on providing information, navigating emergencies and technical confusion.
  We had so much fun, we’ll definitely plan another visit!

  We had an absolutely wonderful time at Clamdigger Cottage. The house is gorgeous. We could tell how much time and effort went into making it such a lovely and charming place. It honestly spoke to my heart! We lacked nothing there. Thank you for thinking of practically everything a person could want! I was thinking I would love to come back to Tybee and stay in one of the other Mermaid Cottages, but Clamdigger has stolen my heart. Charming, relaxing, comfortable, and in the BEST location, it really cannot be beat. Many thanks to Mermaid Cottages for a truly wonderful vacation experience.

  Several girlfriends and I came down to Tybee for a “low-key” Bachelorette trip. This rental made the experience perfect. The proximity to the beach is great, and the neighborhood was quiet but close to bars and restaurants. The house itself was very nice and cutely decorated. We loved spending time on the screen porch and in the pink living area. Tammy at Mermaid Cottages was great to work with and was always available to answer questions. Overall, our experience was very positive. I would come stay here again!
