This was our 3rd time staying at the Blue Heron and we loved it as much as we did the first time. This house makes you feel like it is your home.
Mermaid Cottage team is an exceptional group to work with. They go out of their way to make your visit exceptional. I have stayed with them 4 times and have never had a complaint.

Our cottage was the best we’ve stayed in on Tybee. The location was great, only took a few minutes to drive to the beach— we like going to North Beach. The home had everything we needed from the kitchen to the bedrooms. The air conditioning kept us comfortable and we enjoyed the screened porch each evening. We also I appreciated all of the little notes and contacts before during and after our stay

a guest from Swainsboro, GA recommends this vacation rental

We wanted a pet friendly house (for our little dog) and comfortable furniture for us. We got that and so much more. Located in a neighborhood where we could go walking , it was very quiet and nice to see other
people out walking ,bike riding, etc. Loved having
a fenced yard for our dog. Inside, this house is so
comfortable (like staying in someone's house). If you couldn't go to the beach, there was plenty to do at the house. Bookshelves loaded with a great variety of reading, some games,movies, TV, etc. We had everything we needed and especially enjoyed sitting on the porch. We drove to the beach, but we could have walked (it's about five blocks). Decorated so nicely, so comfortable. Had a great beach vacation.

Catherine C from Decatur, Georgia recommends this vacation rental

Blue Heron cottage has just the right mix of rustic and modern to make a week at Tybee Island comfortable and “beachy.” It’s wonderful to be near the Alley Street access to the River Inlet, and the walk to the beach is an enjoyable 5 blocks. The Mermaid hospitality staff goes above and beyond to make its guests happy, and they are always friendly, just like everyone at Tybee. The long screened porch with 3 ceiling fans, couch, and table to feed 8 or more, completes the relaxed spirit of the cottage. Life stresses are all forgotten at the Blue Heron.

This is our 5th time staying in a Mermaid Cottage and have loved them all! However, Blue Heron really was special. The location was only 5 blocks to the beach and we rode our bikes there every day. The house was so clean upon arrival and the mermaids were great in getting us a couple of items we needed. Blue Heron is very spacious, the decor is super cute, and the shower in the master was incredible! Once again, we had a fabulous stay on Tybee Island. Thanks Mermaid Cottages!!!

Renting a beach getaway with Mermaid Cottages the best! From the great customer service and response to any issues that may need attention to the overall service from the time of arrival to departure is top-knot! Tech concierge on call and condition of cottages always very good...Mermaid Owner also treats her guests like family!
I return to Tybee as frequently as I can as I am a former resident of Savannah. You can’t find quality and service any better than Mermaid Cottages!

Lisa C from Bogart, GA recommends this vacation rental

Blue Heron was wonderful! The biggest perk was how much roomier it was than the pictures make it look. The living space is HUGE. We were all able to spread out and get comfy. The master was great, with the shower being a plus -- overwhelmingly big, in a good way. The kids loved having their own beds and not having to share like they are often forced to. It was an easy, flat 5 block walk to the beach and the use of the beach wagon was great. Loved the fenced yard and available pooper scooper for the pup. And it was so clean when we arrived, so inviting! The mermaids even checked in with us on day two to make sure all was well. When we return to tybee we look forward to working with them, and maybe staying at Blue Heron, again.

The kitchen was great for cooking and preparing everything we needed for our daughter. We hope to return very soon!

My husband and I have been renting beach cottages for many years, and I believe Blue Heron was the “best” ever. The location is great, the cottage is cozy, spacious, and the shower spectacular. The fenced in yard is a big plus. We brought our little dog JoJo, and she loved laying in the shade watching the cyclist, walkers and golf carts. Hats off to Mermaid Cottages. They did everything to make our visit comfortable and enjoyable.

Diana D from Lilburn, GA recommends this vacation rental

The area was very quiet and the cottage exceeded our expectations. The huge walk in glass shower was a treat. The cottage was comfortable, clean and the huge screened in porch was our favorite room. We spent a lot of time walking around the neighbor looking at fun 'yard art', talking with our dog walking neighbors & getting a massage with Edie. There wasn't much nightlife on a week day...& that was ok with us too. Bring a lot of quarters for meters.......luckily, we remembered to bring a bag full!
- Manager Responded on 9/10/2017
  
  You were in one of the best areas for yard art, for sure! It's one of the things we love about our quirky little island. We have dragons, dinosaurs, giraffe, sea serpents, a bowling ball palm tree... it goes on and on. Come back and look for more Tybee uniqueness. We should start a Mermaid scavenger hunt! ~ Jennifer & the Mermaids

The property was exactly like the pictures on the web site. We enjoyed Tybee Island and Savannah very much. Lots to see and do. We had a great week. This property is about 5 blocks from the main beach. I wanted to make this point as parking at the beach and around Tybee Island is tough so you will need to plan to walk to the beach. This property is only about a block from AJ restaurant so you can easily walk there. Savannah is only about a 20 minute drive from Tybee Island so if the beach is not your thing there are lots of things to do in Savannah.

My sister and I came down for 4 nights and stayed at Blue Heron. We fell in love with it at first is so cozy and very nicely decorated. The master shower was awesome and as we are book lovers we spent many an hour going through the book shelves. We ate at Sundae Cafe and it was the best steak I have ever eaten.The property was exactly as advertised and very clean. At the end of our stay at the Blue Heron we decided to stay in Tybee for a few more days, unfortunately Blue Heron was booked. The Mermaids not only found us another property near by but sent someone to help us move our belongings over there.I call that exceptional. Not only would I recommend this property to everyone I know, I have plans to come back in the fall.

My wife and I stayed for a week in April. We loved the house we stayed in and enjoyed coming back to it at the end of everyday. The ladies who helped us with our reservation and stay, made sure we were well taken care of. They called several times just to ask if there was anything we needed. We loved it and talked about possibly bringing our family back here one day.

The house was clean and comfortable and our pets were safely contained when in the yard. We had no complaints with the house and would stay again or at another Mermaid rental.

We loved it in early March! Perfect getaway for a couple with two dogs. It was very comfortable for two but Blue Heron Cottage has a lot of open spaces for socializing,or not. Easy to see how it would work well for entertaining. Inside and out. Quality touches everywhere. It's a happy place in a great location. The Mermaids clearly know how to do things right, couldn't ask for more.

We planned this weekend away for some peace and relaxation after a hectic and stressful summer. We were so happy when we arrived at this beautiful, cozy, warm, comfortable cottage. It rained most of our visit, but we had a wonderful time lounging on the comfortable couches and chairs, cooking in the wonderful kitchen and reading on the screened porch. When the rain let up, we walked on the beach and to the local restaurants. Everything is walking distance, but, being on the back river, you feel miles away from everything.
Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We will certainly be back!

Specacular! Loved the location and my dog and I loved the yard - big enough for a beagle to explore and wander. We loved walking all over the area and looking out over the water from near the pier and the kayak launch, and lounging on the porch in the afternoons. Wouldn't change a thing - the house is beautiful and comfortable. Tybee is a very cute town, too. Hit some rough surf due to the storm off the coast - fun, but got tossed about even more than I did as a child! Lesson - wear a one-piece suit in rough surf!!

Tybee Island during the 4th of July week is amazing. From the Fireworks off the Pier to the Cannon firing demonstration at Ft. Pulaski. Blue Heron Cottage managed by Mermaid Cottages is awesome. Best shower in America guaranteed. We loved the location near the back side of South Beach away from all the night life yet only a 5 minute bike ride to the beach.

My fiance and I stayed here for days leading up to our wedding with our two little dogs. We also stayed here after our wedding until we had to go home. We loved how much space we had within this home, and we loved how historical and the charming beauty this home brought to us. We can't thank Mermaid Cottages enough for allowing us to stay in such a beautiful home for our wedding. Our dog's and family loved this home as much as we did. Carol was a blast to work with, and Brandi our dog sitter was amazing with our little furbabies. I would say that there were many nights spent on the hammock, as well as the back screened in porch. We LOVED IT! We can't wait to come back on our future anniversaries in the next upcoming years! THANK YOU DIANE AND CAROL!!!

Blue Heron is so much more than the pictures show. Upon arrival you feel at home, it is warm and welcoming. Very comfy beds, and towels so soft they are like velvet. Perfect lay out for us, and the dog friendly is very important to us traveling with a service dog.
Easy walk to the beach-and if you have a dog with you-make sure to visit Alley 3, early in the morning. I will be back-thanks to all the Mermaids and the owners for such a great place to stay.

It was hard to believe, but when I unlocked the door to the cottage it was even nicer than it looked in the pictures. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was well appointed-thanks for leaving a few spices and cooking oil.
I had to take a tub bath and a shower both mornings because they were both lovely.
We didn't because one of us was injured, but the cottage is walking distance to restaurants.
There was a souffle dish, so of course we had spiche souffle for breakfast. Could use a cookie sheet, but enough other pans to improvise. Absolutely amazing. I plan to come back with my family.

The Blue Heron cottage was just charming! The colors, décor, and provisions enhanced the experience. Nothing was lacking. The cottage was clean and well maintained. My husband and I were able to walk or ride our bikes everywhere we went, so the location is great. Thank you, owners, for sharing your place with others. Mermaid Cottages has, hands down, been the best and easiest rental agency we have ever worked with! We have rented many vacation homes in many places, and always have a very intimidating, tedious, list of rules and checkout procedures to follow. We are on edge before even arriving because of possible consequences that might apply if we accidently leave a smudge or God forbid, break something. My husband and I always go in and look for things that might need cleaning or repairing when we first arrive, afraid that they will think we did it. Rental companies certainly need rules, and Mermaid's agreement/contract/rules are written/worded in such a way that is positive; not harsh. Yes, there are requests, but not many. It seems that they truly want you to enjoy your vacation. It makes all the difference in relaxation while you are there. We had just a couple little things that needed repair while we were there, most likely due to the weather, and no questions were asked. The nice maintenance man was there in minutes, and not only took care of our little repair, but checked out other things while there, ensuring we were in good shape. We would definitely rent from Mermaid Cottages again. It was a pleasure dealing with them! Thank you, Mermaids! You should train other agencies!

Absolutely loved this place. If only it were a little closer to the beach...not a bad walk, but when you are carrying a lot of stuff and it's hot the walk can seem long. Only other issue was the two bedrooms are right next to each other. Every time one of the girls turned over in the bunk bed it would hit the wall. The headboard in the master is right next to the wall where the bunk is. Overall a great experience. I would stay here again and recommend to family & friends.

Dana B from Charleston, IL recommends this vacation rental

My husband and I agreed that this was THE BEST vacation we’ve ever been on. The Blue Heron was very clean and absolutely gorgeous. It’s huge, so we weren’t stepping on each other. Our two kids shared the second bedroom and my husband and I took the master bedroom with the heavenly shower! Once the kids tried the shower, though, it became everyone's shower! :) That's okay. It was worth sharing. The cottage is in the perfect place on the island. I worried about being near the river rather than the ocean, but really, it's close to both and the river was much more peaceful, less crowded, and the sea life seemed to be more abundant. We saw sting rays and dolphins and crabs and some fisherman we walked by kept catching baby sharks! Amazing. Plus, the river is just like the ocean, just not so vast, and the views were spectacular. We walked down to the fisherman's pier (VERY short walk) and then onto the beach for a walk around the southern tip of the island to the main pier on the ocean and back again, every morning and every evening. It was so peaceful and my mind literally emptied of all the worries of the world. The Blue Heron is just down the street from A.J.'s Dockside restaurant which was very good. We also enjoyed North Beach Bar & Grill and Huckapoo's (for pizza). One thing you have to be ready for is that everything is laid back. When they say shorts, a tee, and flip flops are all you need, they are not kidding! Most restaurants either serve you outdoors or in a screened in area. It's all about the outdoors here. After our morning walks on the beach, we drank our Mermaid Coffee in the screened-in porch and it was absolutely perfect. On one rainy day, we played games with the kids on the porch. That porch was where I spent most of my time (when not on the beach!). I loved it and want one of my own! Actually, I want the Blue Heron as my own!!! Wish I could afford it. For now we just plan on going back as often as we can!!!

The Blue Heron Cottage was absolutely the best place to stay. Everything about it was great, the cottage itself, the location to the beach, restaurants and just walking.

Erin K from Mount Horev, WI recommends this vacation rental

We began to relax almost as soon as we arrived. The "super-shower" and fireplace were just what we needed for the brief pause in our busy lives. Our interacation with Diane and her ingenue, Erin (from mermaid cottages) was so very pleasant. They dropped by to loan us a crate for our dog, and gave us a good amount of information about local eateries, etc. (Thank you so much, Diane!) We took them up on their recommendations and were not disappointed. Diane came back by to drop off some left-over passes to a local attraction and she is just so helpful and kind. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Tybee, and the Blue Heron home. It felt like it was ours during our stay. My husband said several times that he wants to buy it and live there! Guess he had a good time! Tripadvisor ratings aside, we had a great time at Sting Rays (conch fritters to die for/great musical entertainment), Breakfast Club (fast-paced diner/brasserie atmoshphere, great staff) and Fannies (you MUST get the Jalapeno Bottle Caps - hand battered and amazing) Oh and also sweet potato fries and crab stew at Social Club. Yum to all! I tried to make that crab stew and couldn't do it as well - that's the best recommendation I can give!

  Thank you so much for your review! We are thrilled to hear how much you and your husband enjoyed your stay and "total relaxation" at Blue Heron!

One of things that we think shows the specialness of our cottages is when our guests proclaim "it felt like it was ours during our stay"...for our guests to feel so at home in our cottages shows us we are "getting it right!" We truly appreciate your comments, recommendation and feedback and are so pleased that Blue Heron offered you such a wonderful, relaxing experience during your stay! We are also happy to hear you enjoyed your dining experiences on Tybee Island.

The Blue Heron Cottage was the perfect setting for a reunion of four grade-school girlfriends! We woke up each morning of our stay to a refreshing cup of "Mermaid Bliss" coffee. We parked our cars on arrival and didn't get back in them until we left to go home. This cottage is in sucha convenient location. We walked everywhere. AJ's Dockside Restaurant was so close as well as the "downtown area" and the Breakfast Club. The walk to the beach was very quick. I will be going back to this great Historic Cottage...hopefully very soon.

Our visit to Tybee this time was two fold -- first to celebrate our anniversary and relax and to attend Jane Coslick's Cottage Tour which was just awesome. We got to see the results of Jane's renovation of 17 cottages -- all of which were outstanding.
Our stay at Blue Heron (this was our first time there) was wonderful -- Blue Heron is a great place to stay with all the amenities you could want -- and the new shower -- well, you could spend the day in it!!! The staff, as usual, at Mermaid Cottages is simply superb -- accomodating and responsive in every respect. Overall another great visit to Tybee and thank you to the owners of Blue Heron and of course to Diane and the Mermaid staff.

We got there and found our cottage completely clean and stocked with what we needed for our first night. Everyone including our dogs loved the cottage and yard. The little guest dog tags were the MOST thoughtful! Mermaid Morning Bliss coffee on the screened porch the first mornings was perfect. The master bedroom bed and shower were the icing on the cake. The complete quiet in that neighborhood was just what we needed. The staff was amazing, professional and gracious. True southern hospitality. Go there if you NEED a total break from your real life!

Don Z from Grand Rapids, MI recommends this vacation rental

We were so glad to discover Tybee Island and what better time than Pirate's festival weekend. Thanks to the wonderful staff at Mermaid Cottages we were alerted to the festival when we booked our rental. My wife and I invited our daughters' and grandsons to join us for the Pirate Fest and we were happy that they could take time to share our first trip to the island.
The Blue Heron cottage was everything and then some that we expected it to be. It's location was excellent for walking to Town or beach and also very close to the marshes. We enjoyed the cottage,plenty of space,nicely decorated and clean. I would really like to thank Diane of Mermaid Cottages. She was very helpful in recommending a boat tour (which in itself was worth visiting Tybee) and just her down to earth friendly personality making it great to work with Mermaids for our first visit to the island.
We hold very special memories of our vacation and can't wait to visit Tybee Island again with the help of Mermaid Cottages!

The cottage was fantastic! Large, open and airy; beautifully decorated; spotless. It had everything we needed. This is the first time we did not stay right on the beach, and we loved it! It's in a very quiet neighborhood. The screened-in porch was a great plus; our kitties loved watching all the birds and butterflies and didn't want to go inside! Will definitely stay here again!

Thank you for providing such a lovely property for us to relax in while on vacation! The Blue Heron was a lovely home! We were able to walk to the beach and several restaurants. We brought our dog because even though Tybee does not allow pups on the beach we prefer to have them with us. They very much enjoyed the fenced yard and long walks around the island. The kitchen at the house was lovely, and we were able to cook wonderful meals. Best part of the house was the shower in the master bathroom - that was amazing after a day on the beach! We will definitely be back to Tybee and renting from Mermaid is the only way to do it! An outstanding experience all the way around - thank you all!

My family of four just left blue heron and we're already planning another stay. The pictures online were great, but the house was better than expected, much more spacious and such a wonderful location! This was our first time on tybee but we hit the jackpot with our first visit. The home is just a short bike ride from the south beach and a mere 3 block walk from a fishing pier where fish abound- we caught a shark! Also you're just down the road from AJ's where you can rent and launch a kayak. The mermaid staff were attentive and checked in to be sure we had everything we needed. The only thing I hope to see updated when we return is the porch couch/chairs. Super fun and funky, but they're a relic for sure, you kind of stick to the vinyl :) this house and the mermaids are true gems, best place on tybee for sure!!!!!

Amy S from Glade Spring, Va. recommends this vacation rental

The house was nice, floors were not that clean....had to wear socks to keep our feet clean from dirt and pet hair. However I am aware this house is pet friendly so in the future I will choose a house that is not pet friendly which will take care of that problem. I would recommend this house to my friends who have indoor pets.Other than the floors the rest was super clean! We enjoyed the shower and the nice screened in porch. The tv or cable I'm not sure which kept cutting out but only in the living room.The master bed was super compfortable! Over all I enjoyed our stay with mermaid but next time I will try to get a different house. This was our first yr staying with mermaid cottages, in the two previous years we stayed on the "marsh" or creekside I guess you call it, which was more private (with a different company) hopefully we can find something about the same with mermaid next yr.
