  My daughters and I just finished staying in this wonderful cottage this week. We had the most wonderful time and will definitely come again. The property was just as described, clean and well-maintained. The owner/manager checked on us when we arrived and during our stay. I would recommend this property and this company. There are so many attractions that we enjoyed that it is hard to list them all. We enjoyed the beach every day, rode bikes, watched the sun rise and set. Our favorite place to eat is Bubba Gumbo's and we really enjoyed the local farmers market. We cannot wait to return!

  This was our 7th stay in a Mermaid Cottage and the 5th different cottage we have rented. Fun in the Sun was one of the best! Great location, good yard for our dogs, and the house was comfortable with everything we needed. Loved the screened in porch
  and hammock. As always, the management company was easy to work with and very accommodating to our needs. Would definitely recommend using Mermaid Cottages, and in particular Fun in the Sun.

  My experience with the vacation rental was excellent. The dwelling was very suitable and in a convenient and quiet location. I’m pleased I connected with Mermaids. Tammy and Diane were quite cordial and proficient. Thanks!
  
  I have no complaints. One friendly suggestion: have housekeeping to dust-off/wipe the top of the washer-dryer unit. Otherwise, the facility was neat and nice and clean.
  
  I hope I will have the opportunity to vacation there again. Clay

  Our vacation was amazing! This is the 2nd time visiting Fun In The Sun. Walking distance to the south beach, the pier and all the shops. Best place to eat Stingrays. Cleaning crew should pay close attention to the living room sofa, it has a very foul odor. Other than that the house was acceptable. The Mermaid staff was a pleasure to work with. We will differently work with them again.

  We arrived from the Chicago, IL area to find Fun in the Sun a wonderful home and comfortably settled in for our stay. We traveled with our 9 year old Welsh Terrier. She was very happy in the home. This was not our first trip so while we explored the area (including Savannah).
  
  Unfortunately Hurricane Ian was predicted to hit the area, so we elected to leave early. We had consulted with Tammy and she was very helpful in helping us make the decision.
  
  We will return to be able to enjoy a full week on Tybee in the future.
  
  As for the house. We found it clean and welcoming. Thank you to the staff for your help and friendly personality!

  There is none better than Mermaid Cottages!! I rented Fun in the Sun for the month of August and it was the best decision I could have made. Diane and Tammy made sure I was well taken care of the whole time. Fun in the Sun is a sweet little cinderblock cottage with a wonderful screened in back porch. It may be a small home, but the set up gives lots of options for the guests to sleep and visit.. I LOVE this place!! I have stayed on Tybee for almost 20 years. The last few have been with Mermaids and I will continue to rent through them. Best costumer service ever!! I will also gladly spend more time at FUN IN THE SUN!!

  We had a great time. The screened porch was wonderful and really added to the living space of the home. The backyard was also very nice. Location is great - we were close to the beach. Our only dislike was the outdoor shower. You have to hold the handle down for the entirety of your shower. If you let go the water turns off so that made it not very usable for us. Otherwise, the place was great and we’d return for sure.

  • Manager Responded on 6/1/2022

    Thank you Meredith for your review. Mermaid Cottages takes great pride in communicating with our guests. Unfortunately we were only able to send you texts and never received any response. Our Mermaid hospitality checks on every guest. We would have gladly had someone come take care of that shower for you if only we had known. We want you to always have a 5 star experience!

  The main problem was we had a doggie and there wasn’t a blade of grass in the entire yard. We had to walk to neighbors yards which in many cases of was filled with sand spurs. They did say they would transfer to another cottage but we were already unpacked and had gone to the grocery

  • Manager Responded on 10/8/2021

    I hope your next stay will be better for your fur baby! We have a lot of homes with grassy yards, the one I hoped you would move to was very plush. Unfortunately, the sand spurs are island wide and in the most beautiful of yards. Mermaid Cottages wants all of our guests to be very happy including our four legged furry ones! We strive to make your visit the best it can possibly be! Always remember we are only a phone call away! We'll see you and your lovely family again soon. Love, the Mermaids!

  Christine F from Greenville, SC recommends this vacation rental

  In my opinion this property i exactly what I look for in a beach cottage. Clean, simple and charming. My visit was with my 2 kids (6 and 9) and it would have been comfortable for maybe 1 more.
  
  It has a few quirks like that you get to the 2nd bedroom through the first, but I liked that it meant the kids were tucked away and would not be disturbed by noise from the LR. The screened porch was comfortable most of the day and we enjoyed the hammock and swing. If you visit Tybee I highly recommend renting a golf cart. The parking fees are paid for (huge savings) and it really enhanced the experience.
  
  Because of COVID scarcity bring your own soap dispensers for the bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked including dish soap. The linens were fantastic and the King was pretty comfortable but not brand new or memory foam if that's important to you. The LR furniture is gorgeous so I covered it in blankets from home to protect it from the onslaught of snacks ;-)

  My boyfriend and I went on our first vacation and chose the cutest little cottage, Fun in the Sun. It made us feel like our home away from home, and we were sad when we had to leave this beautiful little place. However, Savannah is a never ending city of history to be learned, so we will definitely be back and will always book a cottage at Mermaid Cottages!

  • Manager Responded on 10/13/2019

    Hi Krystal, YEAH!!! So glad you enjoyed Fun in the Sun and even happier to hear you will be back and we love you to book with the Mermaids! THanks so much and see ya soon, Denise and the mermaid team

  We enjoyed the property, but it could have been better without the sticky floor, crumbs on the table ledge, ants all over everything.

  • Manager Responded on 10/10/2019

    Becky, thank you for your honest feedback. We truly value the suggestions and comments from our guests and take them very seriously. We have a quality control process in place and truly work hard to make sure each home is mermaid perfect. We have shared this with both our housekeeping professionals and our Pre arrival team to make sure we always improve. One reminder for you and all our guests- we had made a post arrival call/ text to you after check in and you had said everything was fine. We purposely contact all our guests after they have checked in for this exact reason- if things are not mermaid perfect- we want to know so we can correct the problem(s) while you are here. We easily could have come over and re cleaned the floors, sprayed for ants ( we use non toxic products for bugs). We never want our guests to not want to recommend the home to other guests. Hopefully next time should things not be as expected you'll let us know so we can solve any and all problems and issues. Again, our sincere thank you for the feedback. Diane and the mermaids

  The cottage was a bit dated but that was understood and expected. There should be more “time appropriate “ (1950’s) furniture. We did have ants that we had to call about but it was handled quickly. The door to the screened in porch would lock but could jut be pushed/pulled open. We really enjoyed our stay and the staff was very friendly.

  THE COTTAGE IS DECORATED WITH EVERYTHING BEACHY, MAKING IT SO CUTE AND APPEALING. IT'S ALSO EXTREMELY CLEAN WHICH REALLY RATES WITH US. OF COURSE, BEING OLDER, THERE'S AREAS THAT COULD USE A BIT OF ATTENTION. THE UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE WAS COMFY, BUT IN BAD NEED OF EITHER RECOVERING OR REPLACING. THEY'RE VERY SOILED AND FADED. BED WAS VERY COMFY. DID KILL MANY SMALL WORMS ESPECIALLY IN THE BATHROOM AND SOME OTHER INSECTS. THE COTTAGE LOCATION WAS GOOD. THE BEACH WAS THE BIG ATTRACTION FOR US. PAULA DEANS SEAFOOD GRILL AND THE CRAB SHACK WERE THE BEST PLACES TO EAT. THE MANAGEMENT CO. WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND THE CHECK IN AND DEPARTURE WERE VERY EASY TO DO.

  This was a nice clean house just the right size for us. It was good for our small dog also. The only negative comment I have is the location. It was hard to walk to the beaches,which is what we like to do. However, I must say it was over 100 degrees when we stayed.

  • Manager Responded on 6/15/2019

    It was indeed a little warm while you were here! Fun in the Sun is only 3 blocks to the beach, and 2 of those blocks are 2 houses long, and the third is about 6 houses, so maybe it just seemed further than it really is in that warmth. ;) Come try us in the fall, the walk won't seem so far! ~ Jennifer & the Mermaids

  We had a great time and the cottage was very comfortable for 5 people.The furniture in the advertising pictures were not the ones shown in living room and screened porch. The furniture was a lot more work but they were comfortable just don't know why they they had to mislead. With that said everything worked and we had plenty of not water. The screen porch really makes the cottage feel larger and we spent most of our home time there. You won't be disappointed, easy drive to Savannah and short walk to the beach.

    We're so happy you had a great time at Fun in the Sun. It is fun! :) We love that screened in porch as well.

  Fun in the Sun Cottage was just right for a relaxing break. Very clean, well appointed cottage with screened room and fenced yard for our dogs. Comfortable sleeping and living room chairs and sofa and spaciously arranged. Very quiet at night, a bit of traffic in the day, but not disturbing. Easy 1/2 block to get to the bike/walk path that runs the length of the island. Parked our car and walked everywhere on Tybee. Great location to relax and yet drive into Savannah for touring, dining and exploring. The managers of Mermaid Cottages communicate before, during and after your visit and are a text away should you need them.

  We rented this cottage for a family wedding held in Savannah. The travel time to Savannah was about 30-40 minutes depending on which side of Savannah we had to go and the time of day.
  The cottage was well equipped with everything you would need to make quick breakfasts to grilling steaks(great Grill set) and being 2 blocks from the IGA was a Huge plus.
  The only thing we didn't find was a clothes line to hang our beach towels and suits on after a day at the shore, but the fence posts worked out well.
  
  The fenced in yard was HUGE and our dog loved being able to run and play.
  
  We enjoyed all the seating on the screened in porch and it worked out perfect with all the families dropping by for visits over the long weekend.
  
  Our walk to the beach was about 10 min. and the walk to pier area was about 20 min.
  
  I would definitely rent this cottage again.

Plenty of room for all of us. Diane was very helpful and gave us many insights about the the island. We spent a lot of time on the beach as the cottage is a short 4 blocks. Easy walk. I would definitely recommend renting bicycles. We only used our car once the entire week. I would recommend Mermaid Cottages in a heartbeat!!

  We needed a place on short notice. They were so helpful in booking the last minute reservation. We were arriving very late and she even went by the house, made sure it was ready and turned a few lights on for us. Such great service! The house was clean, comfortable and in a great location. Thanks so much!

  Great company with which to deal. Good communicators. Very clean cottage. Great location with short walk to the beach and Tybee downtown. Quite and friendly neighborhood. Cottage was stocked as promised. Beds comfortable. Only issue is that towel holder in front bathroom came loose on right end falling 3 times. I only mention this so Mermaid will be aware and repair it. No big deal to me but may be to the next guest.

  • Manager Responded on 10/15/2017

    Thank you so much for the kind words and letting us know about the paper holder, and yes, it could possibly be a big deal! ;) Come again and stay in "FUN IN THE SUN" as we've now decided to call it ~ it's your new vacation home! ~ Jennifer & the Mermaids

  Lovely cottage home feeling, beautifully decorated. Very comfortable beds and plenty of room with so much charm. Plenty of starter supplies. Only one suggestion-my husband is a movie nut on vacation-might consider adding a DVD player. That's his thing while me and kids are shopping or at the beach!

  • Manager Responded on 10/1/2017

    Great suggestion and we will definitely take that into consideration to get a DVD player. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know what you think about our little Made in the Shade (or 'Fun in da Sun' as we're now calling her...). ;) ~ Jennifer & the Mermaids

  Lisa F from FAIRVIEW, NC recommends this vacation rental

  We enjoyed our short time at the cottage. It was a perfect size for our family of 3,along with our dogs. Great location, close to beach/stores/back river. The beds were comfortable and the indoor living area was great. Lots of supplies for the kitchen. Fenced yard was great for the dogs, although small dogs could get through the gate. The only improvement we could see was the furniture in the screened in porch. Chairs needed to be replaced. Clean interior and well maintained.
  We loved this little cottage!! We would return and rent it again.

  Justin M from Chattanooga, TN recommends this vacation rental

  Arrived at the vacation house found out that the big oak tree was gone which was terribly disappointed for that was one reason we chose this location. Due to heavy rains there was a lot of Palm bark scattered throughout yard and all over the carport.which tracked alot of dirt in the house.
  overall a good stay but housekeeping could have cleaned better.

  • Manager Responded on 9/10/2017

    Thanks to you we realized we still had pictures of the big oak (#sad) that went down last year during Matthew (#wehatehurricanes). We are thankful you brought that to our attention. And yes, we're learning to work with bark and not oak leaves, so we appreciate your letting us know about that as well. We're woking on changing the name, and I really like the way you spelled it! You may have renamed our cottage for us! ;) ~ Jennifer & the Mermaids

  Nicole M from West Chester , OH recommends this vacation rental

  The cottage is the perfect size for a small family. We loved many aspects: distance to beach and IGA, screened porch, hammock, swing, and the beds were very comfortable. A few small items would be helpful: pizza cutter, plastic dishes for kids, more teaspoons, a bathtub, and a dust pan for the broom. It was okay for small children, but I missed the bathtub. I hadn't realized Jones was such a main street, but it turned out to be just fine. It wasn't as busy as expected. I felt comfortable walking with my children.
  We rented a golf cart for the week and I would highly recommend touring the island that way.

  • Manager Responded on 8/6/2017

    Great call on the pizza cutter! I absolutely agree and we will make sure we get one in there ASAP, as well as a dustpan. We appreciate your feedback (and when you come and stay with us again, call us! We're happy to send anything you might need over!). The bathtub I can't help with as much ~ most everyone likes having a shower to rinse off the sand. ;) Come stay with us again! We loved having you! ~ Jennifer & the Mermaids

  Robert H from Battle Creek, NE recommends this vacation rental

  We enjoyed the home that we rented! It definitely met our expectations. We enjoyed our stay. We were in walking distance of the beach. Grocery and other shops were close by; within walking distance also. Our only disappointment was that Jones St. was a major traffic road from 1st St. to the South end of the island and 17th St. More stop signs should be employed to slow traffic down.

  • Manager Responded on 7/5/2017

    So happy you enjoyed our little Made In the Shade! It is in a great location. We have passed on your feedback to our city officials and agree the 25mph speed limit on Jones could be enforced a little better with a couple of more stop signs. Thanks so much and until the next time,.......your Mermaids are waiting!

  Really pretty and clean and so many lovely amenities. Fully stocked kitchen for cooking -- we went to the Tybee Farmer's Market by the lighthouse on Mondays 4-7 and got some amazing fresh pasta and walked to the IGA a bunch. My girls loved the bunk beds, we all loved eating on the screened-in porch, I loved laying on the hammock, Diane was SO helpful when we were worried we might have forgotten a beloved stuffed animal and went right over to look for it. Luckily our daughter had packed it for us after all! ;)

  My family and I had a wonderful stay at made in the shade. The location is in walking distance to nearby beaches, restaurants, and the grocery store. We found the interior to be cutely decorated and very clean. The screened in porch was a nice place to hang out at the end of the day. I need to contact the management a few times with questions. They responded within a few hours even on a Sunday. I found them to be very helpful and courteous. I would not recommend this location to people with young children as it was on a road that had consistent traffic.

  Mark M from New York, New York recommends this vacation rental

  The first time my partner and I visited Tybee Island, we fell in love with it even though we stayed for a few days. On our second visit, we stayed for a full week at Made in the Shade. This centrally-located cottage is within walking distance of the beach, the one grocery store, the bike shop, and The Social (a local hipster-ish restaurant/lounge). We liked our cottage on our first stay, but this time the owners had done some renovations and redecorating which made the property even more comfortable and pleasant. Much to everyone's surprise we didn't have a car but, instead, uber-ed from the airport and then back and forth from Savannah when we wanted. We did rent bikes which offered us quick,easy access to all corners of the island. Before going to Tybee, I packed up some art supplies and sent them to the Mermaid Cottage staff who graciously delivered it to my door once it arrived. They accommodated all of our whims, even allowing us to have a late check out. (Of course, it was off season so probably no one was coming into the house after us.) All in all, Tybee Island, the Mermaid Cottage staff, and Made in the Shade cottage provided a perfect autumn get-away. I look forward to my next visit.
