  Kate S from Marietta , Ga does not recommend this vacation rental.

  House is a pretty location however house is very outdated. Master bedroom mattress was awful, sinking in and squeaky. We arrived as cleaning lady was finishing up and she was behind so I feel cleaning was rushed. Found hairs on bed that were not mine, sand on sheets, shoe box on front porch, clothing tags in two bathrooms. Would not stay at this House again.

  • Manager Responded on 7/29/2021

    Thank you Kate for your honest feedback. We truly apologize that your stay was not mermaid perfect and am so sorry that everything was not as expected. We have addressed all the above with the housekeeping professionals show clean this home to be sure they understand what needs to be addressed in the future. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and hope you'll give us another chance at a different mermaid cottage if not this one. Sincerely Diane and the Mermaids

  Lori R from Louisville, KENTUCKY recommends this vacation rental

  My family and I have been visiting Tybee Island for fifteen years and have found ourselves at home (away from home) in Mermaid cottages nearly every year. Sunset Inlet was perfect for our extended family, which includes two couples, a teenager, and two children under 10. We loved our private pier on the marsh, where we enjoyed bird watching and friendly card games. Sunset Inlet is also very close to the back river area, and we took some walks to investigate the charming little beach near alley 3. Mostly, though, it is the friendly nature of Diane and her mermaids that makes me feel like we are honorary locals. Thank you so much for another great stay.❤��

  a guest from Louisville, KY recommends this vacation rental

  Location was amazing! The yard overlooking the marsh was our favorite spot, especially for watching sunsets. I highly recommend this place. We did notice many of the dishes in the kitchen were very dirty when put away before we arrived, and there were “to go” containers inside a cabinet that were filled with water and wreaked of rotten fish. The yard was a mess, but a few days into our trip, a maintenance worker came and cleaned the yard which was very nice! Despite the few cleanliness issues, this place was amazing!!

  a guest from Carrollton , GA recommends this vacation rental

  We had a great time in this cozy little cottage. Walking distance to AJ’s Dockside and short drive to Fisherman’s Walk. Private dock was great for watching the sunset every evening.
  The house is perfect for 2 couples/families because of the layout of the house.
  Loved the covered carport and courtyard grilling area.
  Takes about 15 minutes to walk to Tybrisa (downtown area).

  We throughly enjoyed our stay at Sunset Inlet. They were so accommodating even after we booked a last minute quick trip. We had such a special time, the beach is just a short walk down the road and the dock made the perfect place for an evening well spent with family. The space worked out great for our group of 4 adults and 4 children. We will be back again soon!

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this quaint little cottage. The property was clean and very comfortable for our party of 5. This was an excellent location, especially for views of the sunset. We enjoyed sitting outside and looking out over the river/marsh area. We exercised and even attempted a little fishing off of the dock. The management team was super friendly and checked on us multiple times via text to make sure we had what we needed. We would definitely stay here again for future trips to beautiful Tybee.

  It was nice. Everything was good. If I owned the property I would clean up the landscaping, install an outside shower, pressure wash the walkway from the back door and refesh the dock area.But those are just personal things. The house was really nice . If I had a complaint I would say the living room furniture was uncomfortable.

  Jacqueline W from Roswell, GA recommends this vacation rental

  This was our 5th summer staying at a Mermaid Cottage, and first time at Sunset Inlet--it was amazing (all of their cottages are awesome, but this might be our favorite yet!). The cottage is larger than the pictures show with lots of living space and great sized bedrooms. It was a very easy walk to the beach, had great spacious covered parking and is funny equipped for all your cooking/living needs and beautifully decorated. The private dock on the marsh is a huge bonus--we spent every evening out there with appetizers/dinner and drinks watching the gorgeous sunsets. As always, the Mermaids took care of everything and our stay was seamless and perfect. We are already looking forward to our annual visit next summer!

  Extremely pleasant experience! Everyone we talked to was professional and courteous and the photos did not do the property justice! The property and the home were larger than the photos made it appear with nice parking and the neighbors where very pleasant and fun to chat with. The very short walk to AJ's Dockside was a bonus. Would definitely stay at again!

  We had a very nice time at this Mermaid Cottage home. We were able to walk to the beach 6 blocks away, rode our bikes around the island and walked our dogs through the residential streets. When the tide came in, the marsh view really took off; we had a beautiful sunset on our last evening. We also noted the many other Mermaid Cottages and they are all very nice with unique characters to them. Thank you for an enjoyable stay.

  While we enjoyed our first visit to Tybee Island and our accomodations were a good value for the price, we did experience a bug problem inside the house. The palmetto bugs were huge and not afraid of us. There weren't enough towels and the blankets were old and yellowed.

  This property is in a nice, quiet location. The private dock offers a great view of the marsh. It's a less-than 10-minute walk to the beach. Great place for a large group. Could use some clean-up on the exterior. It's not going to "wow" you if you're expecting everything inside to be new and beautiful, but it has updated bathrooms and good bedding. The kitchen is older, and some of the living room furniture is worn. The sunroom is especially nice.
