  Enlisted Men's Mess Hall is always an awesome place to stay. This is not the first time staying in this cottage. It is located within walking distance to North Beach. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. I so enjoy sitting on the porch drinking coffee in the morning listening to all the morning sounds. We will come back to this cottage again.

  Shuna M from Lynn, Alabama recommends this vacation rental

  The Enlisted Men’s Mess Hall is a wonderful vacation rental. The location is close to the beach and the beach access is a short walk through a quaint walkway. The rental is located on the north end of the island which is perfect for families with young children. It was very clean upon arrival and we did not experience any issues during our stay. I was concerned at first because it is a duplex however, we could not hear the neighbors at all and they had small children!!? The Mermaid staff checked on us via text/call during our stay t ensure our needs were met. This is a place that we would rent again!

The Mess Hall is the perfect location for us to take our 5.5 minute (we timed it) walk to the quiet North beach. It is spotlessly clean, and the management is always so attentive to any needs we might have. Thank you, Mermaids, for another cozy stay at the Mess Hall! We will be back!!!

  Wonderful. Enlisted Men's Mess Hall is adorable. Everything was very clean and well maintained. The screened porch is the best part. We all spent time out there but especially my cat Sophie. She never wanted to come inside! I appreciate the fact that I can bring her along. So many rentals only accept dogs. I prefer the north end of the island and loved how close we were to the beach. Tammy was great, called to check on us. I would only ever rent from Mermaid Cottages when coming to Tybee.

  We had a wonderful week at the Enlisted Men’s Mess Halls cottage. It was perfect for my three year old granddaughter. She could play on the screened in porch. The north side of Tybee Island Beach is perfect for the little ones, especially at low tide. I have been staying with Mermaid Cottages for the last 4 years. Each time I have chosen a different cottage based on the Group I was with. Each year has not been a disappointment. Tammy always calls and makes sure everything is going well. The houses are clean and well supplied. The entry and exit are quick and easy. I will continue to return to Tybee each year and I will continue to use a Mermaid Cottage. I know I can count on the Staff and Home Owners to provide the perfect “Home away from home” experience!!

  Enlisted Men’s Mess Hall was an comfortable, relaxing, well-equipped location for an early spring escape for my husband and me. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals, the bed was extremely comfortable, and we lived on the screen porch when we were home—morning coffee, afternoon reading after a long beach walk or trip to Savannah. Jaycee Park provided a change of scene for walks, and the beach access feels like winding through a secret garden. Tammy is always welcoming, accommodating, and helpful —this visit was no exception.

  Daniel B from Bloomsburg, PA recommends this vacation rental

  This was our first trip to Tybee Island, and it was incredible! We stayed for one week with our two children, 10 and 12, and we were all comfortable.
  
  My favorite things about this place were the super cool (and short!) walk along the beautiful path to get to the beach, how clean the entire cottage was, and how quiet the neighborhood was. Very few cars drove by. The neighborhood is located in historic Fort Screven, right behind Officer's Row, which is pretty amazing, even if history is not your thing. I also loved the large screened in porch, where I could drink coffee every morning, and relax with a drink in the evenings. The whole house was adorned in perfect vintage style. The island's bike route was easy to access, and Jaycee Park was right in the backyard. Enlisted Men's is within walking/biking distance to the lighthouse and Fort Screven Museum, too, both of which were cool to tour.
  
  The Tybee Island beach is really a special place - unlike other beaches where we have stayed. During low tide there is a huge area of hard compact sand, which was perfect for morning jogs (we can't run well on many of the soft sandy beaches of NJ). The water and waves were very gentle, which made us feel good about letting the kids swim each day. We took advantage of walking north along the sand to the North Beach Bar and Grill for lunch one day - I highly recommend doing that. Mermaid Tammy checked in with us, and even recommended a few good places to eat - all of which we tried without disappointment. The customer service was excellent!
  
  If I had to find one thing to improve about this place, it would be to add pavers or hardscaping near the hose area to wash our sandy feet after a day at the beach. We washed our feet in the grass to the right of the sidewalk because we wanted to keep the sidewalk dry to minimize tracking in wetness. But, this is no deal breaker.
  
  I highly recommend this place - it is a true gem in a special locati

  We stayed for the month of February at this charming old cottage in the quiet, historic north end of Tybee Island in a residential area away from the tourists and hotels. The "Mermaids" were very attentive, high marks for customer service. The location was perfect, walk to the beach or town, and the cottage was the right size for us two. There's a nice park right behind the house. Be aware, it's a duplex, someone is on the other side of the larger bedroom wall and porch. Also, the kitchen has dishes, but not many pans if you plan to cook much, but we made it work.I think most people would go out for most meals anyway. We had a great time, southern hospitality is a real thing!

  We loved this house! The wrap around sun room was so nice. We were able to walk to so many places. One morning we walked to some shops. One morning we walked to breakfast. And one afternoon we walked over to North Bar and Grill and watched UGA football. The house is nestled in a shaded, quiet part of town and we enjoyed watching many bicycles go past. We also loved that it was dog friendly so our 2 furry family members were able to join us for our daily walks and sun porch time. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. This was our second stay with Mermaids- and we will always stay with them in Tybee. We had no issues- but we knew if we did- they were only a phone call away.

  This was our first time staying in a Mermaid Cottage - Enlisted Men's Mess Hall - the cottage is gorgeous, clean and well maintained, had everything we needed. The location is great with a quick secret path to the beach! My favorite part of the property is the large screened in porch. Great customer service and just a great experience!

  We usually stay in May, so going in August we got to experience new things. Surfing competition, we never dreamed was possible, but there it was! Weather was great, a little hot but that’s what the beach is all about. We got to enjoy more local produce and the seafood was great as always. Tammy took care of everything and Adam and Constance had the cottage clean and ready. Special kudos to Lauren the Wasp Eliminator for his efforts. See you next time!

  a guest from Summerville, SC recommends this vacation rental

  We may not have realized how much we needed a quiet getaway but it turned out to be the best medicine for us. The short walk to the private beach entrance which we took just about daily led to gentle waves and warm salty ocean water.
  A few days the waves were strong enough to ride and that was fun too. We took a dolphin tour but missed out on kayak tour due to staff shortage we were told.
  One night we ate at Sundae Cafe (very good meal) and then walked to Tybee Theater for the Sail On concert. This Beach Boys cover band was the best! If you close your eyes you may think it really is The Beach Boys.
  Definitely Recommend the hop on/off tour bus in Savannah and dinner at Husk.
  Another good restaurant is Lili’s in Wilmington Island which is only a short ride from Tybee.
  We spent one day at South Beach but we much prefer the quiet North Beach.
  And everyday it was a pleasure to return to our very clean and comfortable Mermaid Cottage.
  Small but adequate kitchen (no DW), comfortable BR and bath with another BR and bath that was Ok but the shower is a little too tight.
  The folks at Mermaid were very responsive and helpful. It’s a place I would go back to.

  This is hidden gem.... The cottage had everything you would need on a beach vacation. The place was spotless, great location...but by far the screened in porch, with its two ceiling fans, was our favorite part of the day. Late night cocktails listening to nature’s sounds and some good music.Also nothing in Tybee is too far away. The beach is just a short walk away. I would recommend this property to anyone.

  We rented a lovely vintage cottage with our son and his family. My husband and I had the Enlisted Men's Mess Hall and our son and his family were in the Screened Inn. The Mermaids were very gracious and helped us with all our requests. We enjoyed playing games on the screened-in porch, spending hours at the beach, visiting local restaurants and seafood vendors, walking to the Sugar Shack and around the park, riding bicycles... we made great memories. I even was privileged to meet one of the Mermaids! We look forward to coming back and enjoying the Mermaid's southern hospitality soon!

  a guest from Spartanburg , SC recommends this vacation rental

  The property was extremely clean, and we loved having the fenced yard for our two dogs. The kitchen is well-appointed. There is rather limited seating in the living room, and the space would be more comfortable with a larger couch. Very close to the lighthouse and to Jayce Park, so neighborhood walks were enjoyable. The beach is about a 5 minute walk up and down several stair, so using a beach wagon to carry your items is not an option.
  
  Note that all the green spaces (and even sandy areas) have painful sandspurs. This makes walking barefoot impossible, and you need to constantly check your animals for spurs in their fur. Also note that dogs are not allowed on the beaches of Tybee Island ever. Although no fault of the property, that was still a major disappointment.

  We stayed for the second time at The Enlisted Men's Mess Hall this fall. As expected, the cottage was spotlessly clean with music playing on the TV when we arrived. Most of all, we love what a homey place it is and how comfortable we are when we are there. Our walk to the private beach entrance is less than 10 min. Spending time watching the world go by on the front screened porch never gets old! Thank you, Mermaids, for taking such good care of the Mess Hall! We look forward to returning!!!

  We had a great experience.There are some things that could be changed for a better experience i. e. replace the mattress in the master bedroom and replace the directions to the beach with a much easier route to the left of the Mess Hall, down the dead end street across from the Mess Hall, Then on to the beach. The directions on the refrigerator are almost impossible if follow with a cooler, etc.

  Planned a last minute getaway with 2 of my 3 daughters (and one daughters dog). We have lived in Georgia for 11 years now, and try to visit Tybee frequently. We have stayed at many of the Mermaid properties, and The Enlisted Men’s Mess Hall is now one of our favorites. It was the perfect size for the 3 of us, and the fenced in yard was perfect for the dog. We had never stayed at the North End of the island, but loved it. Very quiet and peaceful, away from the busyness and traffic. The weather was not the best, but we had fun playing cards, video games, and rented a golf cart to cruise around in.

  So-o-o peaceful and tranquil to step back in time and enjoy this enchanting cottage. My 4 tiny Yorkies loved the screened in porch and the freedom to run and play safely. The fenced in yard was also a perfect place for them to run and chase each other. We (the adults) loved having morning coffee and tea on the porch as we planned the day's adventures. Loved the restaurant choices and tried as many as time would allow. Can't wait to return next year for more fun and relaxation.

  The house was in a great location and has a neat history. Being a historic home, it does have some minor repairs but nothing serious. For our small family it was perfect-beware there is no dishwasher and the kitchen is small, but it is serviceable and allowed us to cook meals. The only negative, and it wasn't a huge negative, was that the rental was not spotless. The beds and bathrooms were clean, but the remainder of the rental was not as clean as I would have liked. That being said, our stay was certainly not hampered by this and the rental was perfect for our family vacation.

  Rented the cottage to be in the area for my mother-in-law's 91st birthday party. Great location on north end of the island-close to lighthouse. Property was clean and ready right at check-in time. As I have rented several cottages from Mermaids Cottages, this one was one of my favorites. Would definitely stay here again.

  Love dealing with Mermaid Cottages and the cottage was great as well. Only gripe is that this unit has a shared wall with the next door residence and there is no sort of sound barrier between the master bedroom and the next doors living room, so it is like I was trying to sleep in the neighbors living room. Otherwise it is perfect.

  A Hidden gem! If you like to be out of the hustle and bustle - if you like character and don't mind if the floor is not always level- it feels more like a home than a hotel room. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! My only negative is that the double bed mattress was too soft for my liking - you know where you have to hang on to the edge to prevent rolling into the middle! Suggest the owners replace 2 of the 3 mattresses. Otherwise it was perfect!

    Thank you for taking the time to let us know how you enjoyed Enlisted Men's.

  I vacationed with my 2 adult sons. We had an awesome time! From the moment we walked into The Mess Hall we felt at home! Everything was clean, smelled wonderful and the lights and music were on when we walked in! Loved how it is decorated also! Lots of vintage items and antiques. Wonderful wrap around porch that was great to sit and drink coffee in the morning! Everything was perfect! We ate at AJ's Dockside which was wonderful. The beach was beautiful and not many people. We had Wen McNally Photography take beach pictures for us and what a wonderful experience! She was great to work with! Already planning our next vacation to Tybee Island!!

  As always when we come to Tybee, Diane and her staff of "professional" Mermaids have laid the foundation for a wonderful stay at the Cottages. The attention to detail, cleanliness, and welcoming touches are things you just don't get via other rentals. As long as there's a Tybee Island, and as long as we believe in Mermaids and the healing power of the ocean, we will continue our sojourn to this wonderful, magical place. Enlisted Men's is the perfect spot for two, three or four people. Just enough room, and privacy, secret garden walk to the beach, and we love the porch! While we don't want to rush time, we can't wait to return!

  Sarah C from Morehead, KY recommends this vacation rental

  I thought the cottage was immaculate! Smelled wonderful upon our arrival. Beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood. We rented a golf cart so we could explore the island and go down to the second street beach entrance. The beach access here is nice but it’s narrow and would be hard to carry chairs and beach gear. Spiders were also hanging out in the path. We stayed six days and 4 towels, 4 washcloths, were left - I thought that was skimpy for 4 people. Staff were super helpful and offered to have a maid come down to bring us more. Only trash bags were what was in the cans. We had to buy more but that’s ok just a heads up, they tell you this on your check in email.

  Joel M from Knoxville, Tennessee recommends this vacation rental

  Ideal cottage for a relaxing time for just the two of us. Although the weather forecast was gloomy, the weather cooperated just fine. We did everything we had planned; rode bikes, hunted for shells on the beach, trips to Savannah, ate at AJ’s & The North Beach Bar & Grill, rocked on the porch and I could go on and on. The cottage was clean and everything we needed was there. Jennifer worked with us to make our reservations work and was so helpful during our stay. Probably time to replace the mattresses but still not a bad sleep. Love Tybee and we are still figuring out how to become a permanent part of this great island vacation spot. Also loved how the city is reclaiming the beaches and how clean they are kept. See you all again next year!

  We stayed at the Men's Mess Hall last week and found it to be more than what we ever expected. It has been so well cared for, decorated down to details to fit the time period in which it was built, clean, and the Mermaids were always available to answer any questions we might have had. This was our second trip to Tybee and our first on the north end. We loved the location of this cottage. Just a short, less than 5 min. walk to the beach... through a beautiful jasmine lined path, out the gate and across the boardwalk. The neighborhood is so quiet. Thank you, Mermaids for the great week at the Enlisted Men's Mess Hall. I hope we can return someday.

  What a perfect place! We had a great time! The “mess hall” was charming and very quaint. The neighborhood was also very cute and we enjoyed learning about Fort Screven.

  This is our second stay in this cottage. We LOVE it. It's perfect for our two Scottish Terriers and this part of the island is so peaceful with many places to stroll with out dogs and just a quick hop over the Officer's cottage area to the sea. The cottage itself is very nice and decorated just as you'd want it - to reflect a lovely island cottage. Also the place was spotless.

  a guest from Evans, GA recommends this vacation rental

  this was our first visit to Tybee. Proximity to Savannah is great, however we prefer a beach that allows dogs. Our only complaint has to do with Tybee Island itself not the cottage. The cottage is wonderfully decorated, the bed was comfortable, 2 full baths & the kids loved the "hidden" shower. The yard was perfect for our dogs and I could have spent many more morning on the nice porch drinking coffee! If I could i would take this cottage to another beach. The walk to the beach was quick, look to the left and the covered ivy fence to find the secret passage. Great started supply of everything we needed, from coffee to filters, shampoo and soap for the kitchen. The kitchen is small so if you are planning on elaborate dinners this might not be the place for you. Overall we were very happy with the cottage.

  We come out to Tybee often and have rented condos and homes. This was the first time utilizing Mermaid Cottages and the experience was very positive. Enlisted Men's Mess Hall is in a quieter area of the island, Officers Row, amongst large historic homes. The property is very clean. The home is charming and nicely furnished. Having a washer/dryer was convenient, as we were there 5 nights and didn't have to pack as many clothes. For a small kitchen, it was well-stocked--I cooked Thanksgiving dinner without a problem. My only suggestion would be for a sharper chef's or santoku knife. Deeded access to the beach was a plus, we did take walks. Would definitely rent this place again.
