Ground level coastal cottage. PET-FRIENDLY. Cheerful and bright 1949 Tybee Island vintage beach cottage.

This ground level, tin roofed cottage, on Tybee’s southeastern end, is cottage living at its finest with plenty of gathering space for guests. Great AC/Heating Unit and lovely tiled walk in shower in Master Bathroom.

Cable television in Living Room and each of the three bedrooms, and Hi Speed Internet and WIFI provided. A large screened-in porch off the living room has an extendable futon that can be used to sleep an additional person. The three bedrooms include two Queen, & one Full sized beds sleeping seven (if you use the porch). Enjoy your complimentary sample of Mermaid Morning Bliss coffee; a special perk for all Mermaid Cottages guests!

Outside, on 6th Ave and Chatham Ave, there is abundant trees and lush vegetation, both common on the property and the Back River area. There is a charcoal grill in the backyard, and hot/cold outside shower. Fully fenced back yard. The two largest bedrooms have door access to the backyard. The cottage is a three short block walk to the back river beach, fishing pier and kayak launch, and a short five block walk to the front ocean. Fish Camp Cottage is 3 doors down and Tybee Tides is behind you, so families wanting to be close, but not too close, can stay together! The southeastern end of Tybee Island is great for long leisurely walks, and bike riding on the island and on the beach.

Take in the gorgeous colors of dusk at sunset over the Back River and be adventurous... bike down to the ocean early for sunrise. Restaurants (AJ’s is barely a two block walk), and shopping (remember Tybee Island is small, quaint and intimate, only 3/4 mile wide and about 3+ miles long) are also in walking/biking distance. 6th Ave, Tybee Island, was also the location where Miley Cyrus’s 2010 movie, The Last Song, filmed all the church scenes.

    Very cute cottage that was bikeable to everywhere on the island. We loved the location and the fact that it was a little closer to the quieter back side of the island. Loved the locally roasted coffee provided. Staff is super helpful and communicative via text. Super convenient to the Tybee Music Fest we attended. Would stay here again!

    Deborah G from Andrews, North Carolina recommends this vacation rental

    Mermaid Cottages, Diane and Tammy have hosted my family and I many times. We have always been more than cared for, like friends and family! We have the most wonderful memories to unpack because of Mermaids, Diane and Tammy that last a lifetime. Crabbing on back beach. Meeting friends at Alley 3 to kayak to Little Tybee, Bubba Gumbos and Lazaretto Creek for a great afternoon of off the boat day shrimp fried up and catch of the day at the Coop Seafood Market to take home, St. Michael's Thrift Store to search for maps with other lost treasures. Coming back to A Shore Thing or any of their Historic Cottages with lovely backyards to cook your fresh catch, peaceful screened porches to play games in the evenings. With Mermaid Cottages you do not worry about the little things - you get to go back to another place and time that is all things Tybee!

    • Manager Responded on 11/3/2022

      Thank you Deborah! Such kind words! Having guests like yourself as part of our Mermaid family is what makes us all HAPPY! We love helping people have the best memories and most enjoyable times. We look forward to seeing you in the near future. Love, the Mermaids!

    Tammy and the Mermaids provided a perfect place for our vacation. From the moment we walked in to the cottage with relaxing music playing on the TV we felt at home. There was ample room for five adults and our corgi. It was a short few block walk to the ocean or back river beach. We spent a day walking around Savannah and another day at Fort Pulaski but the rest of the time we were on the beach. A shore thing did not disappoint!

    A Shore Thing was certainly a sure thing for us. We planned to return before we left. Location on a quiet street mid- island made north and south beaches easy to bike to. A close walk to AJ's too! Year-round neighbors were a plus. This is a comfortable house with a flexible layout that provides many options. Loved the huge screened porch. Mermaid Cottages are the best on the Island. We have used them for all our visits. Staff are pleasant, so thoughtful and a big help with whatever comes up. A great start for a memorably easy-going getaway. You can relax.

    Super location-cozy cottage with lots of light.
    A fabulous outdoor shower for rinsing sand before going indoors.
    Great book selection (not sure why it’s a music room though) and a closet full of family games! The grass was tall so we didn’t really utilize the backyard. Screened porch was amazing!
    Super coffee :) but no sugar. Few staples on hand - used to be a well-stocked pantry and kitchen, you can tell. Unfortunately, most of our Dishes were dirty and mascara was smeared on a pillowcase.
    We asked for extra blankets and towels because a family of six isn’t staying on top of the laundry while we’re vacationing-they acted like it was a hassle. 🤷��‍♀️
    Overall experience was fine, but the quality seems to have slipped a bit over the years.

    • Manager Responded on 7/23/2019

      We are so very sorry for your less than perfect mermaid experience. We've already addressed the housekeeping issues with our Housekeeping Professionals . We don't stock our pantry and kitchen with food items- just our coffee- so we apologize for that confusion. We hope to see you again and look forward to welcoming you back to tybee.

    a guest from Virginia Beach, VA recommends this vacation rental

    Found several basic problems with this rental. Among them, a non-working gas grill and non-working electric fireplace insert. One potential disaster was downright risky, as the hot water heater is just short of rusting through the bottom. Kitchen lacked necessary items. There was only one skillet, with teflon lining badly scraped off. Several saucepans but only one lid. No dish towels or placemats. Two baths had only one hand towel. Found two flashlights but no batteries. All of this pointed to owners who didn't bother to maintain the property, leaving us disappointed with the general condition.

    • Manager Responded on 3/31/2019

      Linda, thank you for your very honest review. We- and all our home owners- take great pride in how well we manage and care for our homes. If we had known about any of these problems while you were here, we- and our home owner- would have responded and taken care of the items not working and needed. That is how we conduct business but our communication with you during your stay did not reflect the comments in this review. Mermaid Denise is currently working with you on a Mermaid Cottages home for next winter and we hope you'll be thrilled and happy and will write a great review of your stay next year! Thank you again for your feeedback!

    It was a terrific little place to stay and relax. Plenty of room and very clean. If there is a complaint it would be the grill. Rusted out and falling apart. All in all I'd definitely recommend this place.

      Don't you just love our little cutie A Shore Thing? Insider pro tip? It's next door to Sea Biscuit and Fish Camp is close, too, as is Coastal Joy, and Tybee Tides is behind Fish Camp. SO you could bring the WHOLE extended family but still have your own haven. ~ Jennifer & the Mermaids

    A Shore Thing is a beautifully decorated and cozy cottage. It is very convenient to North Shore, IGA, AJ's AND the pier activities. Having a full kitchen and outside grill made meals a breeze.

    Carol W from Chattanooga, Tennessee recommends this vacation rental

    Spent a lovely lazy week at Tybee May 2018. As always our experience exceeded expectations. A Shore Thing is on the back side of the island, a block from the marsh, and several blocks from the beach. Also walking distance to AJ's Dockside restaurant. Yard is nice and shady. The best thing about this house is the large screened in porch. I also love it has an outdoor shower. The three beds and two baths are comfortable. The kitchen is small, and if you like to cook, I recommend bringing the utensils you can't live without, like good sharp knives and perhaps a good omelet pan. Otherwise the kitchen is well stocked with plenty of plates, glasses, mugs, silverware and other utensils. We have been staying Mermaid cottages for years now and always thoroughly enjoy our experience.

    Dedra S from Swainsboro, GA recommends this vacation rental

    A few friends from college wanted to have a weekend get-together, and we selected A Shore Thing, since it was in a quiet area of Tybee. The house was spacious, comfortable, and clean. The pictures are lovely, but they really do not do this cottage justice! The little touches the Mermaids provided at the cottage made us feel so welcome. They had left table lamps on in the living room with soft music playing on the tv which set a relaxing tone as soon as we walked in the door! The cottage smelled fresh and clean, and there was no "cleaning supplies" smell, nor was there a perfumed smell. Heaven! I just smiled when I walked in the door. My stress levels went down immediately! In the kitchen was a notebook filled with instructions and suggestions and even local menus. We were grateful for the coffee setup with complimentary Morning Bliss coffee, which was delicious, by the way. We did not have to use any of the paper/trash items we'd brought; the "starter pack" was plenty for our four day stay. In the music room, you'll find books galore and probably 30 different games in the closet! There were plenty of towels, too! The only thing you'll have to bring are your clothes, toiletries, a beach chair, and sunscreen. The Mermaids thought of everything! Thank you, Mermaid Denise and everyone at Mermaid Cottages, for making our college reunion a wonderful, relaxing success!

    This is the fourth year in a row my fellow girlfriends and I-all moms, with 25 children among the 7 of us- have enjoyed an escape to Tybee through Mermaid Cottages. We found the staff to be extremely helpful, as always, in finding a cottage that would allow us to rent for a long weekend. The house was beautiful, well-kept, and clean. I was also impressed with MC's follow up-the "mermaids" called to confirm that I had received important emails and to confirm that we had everything we needed once our vacation began.

    A Shore Thing was a great cottage, the living room was comfortable, and the screened in porch was a great place to have a chat with friends or read a book. The bedrooms were comfortable and nicely decorated. The "music" room was what I would call a library - so many great books to choice from. Since it is an older cottage it was a little hard to figure out what light switches went to what. We loved the cottage and would recommend it. My only recommendation would to have a few extra pillows and spare blankets.

    I have to say, I have rented houses before, but have never been so taken care of like the mermaids take care of you--every possible little thing you can imagine is included in these homes--so many thoughtful little touches, very nice decor, adorable beach things, and I came extremely prepared and was still blown away by all that was there--after only being there a few hours, we truly felt like we were in our own lovely beach cottage, there were plenty of pots and pans and cooking utensils, really everything you could possibly need was there. I have NO complaints except (lol) I was a bit put off by the different fees (guest fee, cleaning fee, pet fee, insurance, taxes, etc) which by the time it added up was actually higher than the actual rental fee....that is the only negative and would be the only thing that might preclude me from renting in the future, because no-one likes fees to be higher than their rent. Other than that, the mermaids are no doubt the best at what they do--and that is to offer beautiful, clean, wonderful houses to stay in where anything you need is there for you. Just a great experience!!

    This was our first visit to Tybee Island and staying here at the "A Shore Thing" cottage made our stay so special. From the moment we walked in the fresh and clean cottage we felt right at home. We were thankful for all the thoughtful details right down to the amazing selection of books, board games, the kitchen stocked with all the things we needed to prepare meals... and I can't forget about the Mermaid Cottages coffee! The cottage was plenty big for our family of five, there was lots of room for us all to have a little quiet time by ourselves when we needed that too. We loved that we were able to walk to most everything we wanted to see and do on the island {aside from a very short drive to visit the lighthouse} The walk to the beach turned out to be one of my favorite parts because of all the beautiful homes and scenery to look at along the way. Overall, we were so pleased and felt really blessed to have this beautiful place to spend time with our family.

    We have stayed at 3 cottages and although this one was good, it was our least favorite. I should've booked earlier and my choices were a bit limited so that is my error. Just a few things need some attention:
    coffee pot did not work- it started then never brewed;
    Exterior light at kitchen door needs new bulb;
    Tub faucet needs attentions on cold handle- and drips
    I love Mermaid, but was just a bit disappointed this time since I have been so spoiled before by your cottages.

    My family including our dog enjoyed our stay @ A Shore Thing! It was located in a great area, gave the quiet of Tybee and yet easy access to food & fun. We rented a golf cart and found that to be a great way to see the island. The beach was by far one of the best we have been on. It was clean, great for taking walks on, and shell hunting was better on the north sands. The people of Tybee are friendly & kind!!
    A few suggestions to help maintain the property: (1) re-inventory the kitchen for cookware, flatware & a place in cabinets to store food. (2) needed more clothes hangers and a new drying rack for beach clothes to dry. (3) the wood floors were slippery a few washable cotton throw rugs would help. (4) the upholstered furniture (slip covers) in the living room need to be cleaned.
    Other than that, Mermaid Cottages does a excellent job with booking the holiday and the home was clean & comfortable!! every detail was appreciated.

    The cottage was wonderful. Very please with everything. We had wonderful weather. It felt like fall the first three days. My dogs loved the front and back yard! Very safe for small dogs! There was some poison ivy which reported and I am sure your wonderful staff will take care off! Would suggest luggage racks in the bedrooms! We had to place our luggage on the floor and lids for the pots and pans (just one lg top). Thanks again for a great house and always great service!!!!

    We absolutely loved our stay at A Shore Thing through Mermaid Cottages. It was the perfect girls' week. There was not one detail missed. They even had a large selection of paper back books available. The cottage was a short distance from the beach. We drove but you could walk. There is a great restaurant, Aj's Dockside, within walking distance. We also enjoyed The Crab Shack. The layout of the cottage was perfect. We loved the large screened porch. All of the bedrooms were comfortable and cool. The property was spotless on check in. It was absolutely perfect. We are already planning our trip back. Loved Tybee Island and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Mermaid Cottages. Customer service was out of this world. I have already recommended to several friends. Can't wait to return

My brothers favorite feature of the house was the screen porch, while I absolutely loved the outdoor shower. Plenty of space to spread out and relax. Very nice accommodations ,

    Only thing I would add to the rental would be hooks on the porch for beach towels and maybe add an additional hook on the back of each bedroom door. The smaller bedroom could use a suitcase holder at the end of the bed. Heather and her husband did a excellent job of cleaning, both before our arrival and also when we leaving. The fence was perfect for pets, we had a peace of mind knowing they were secure. This is a perfect rental for six persons. We look forward to coming again.

    Our stays on Tybee are always better than planned. Every year we keep coming back. We have used the Mermaids repeatedly due to their rental services being the best on the island. There are just so many extra personal touches when renting from Mermaids cottages. We love all of the helpful mermaids, especially mermaid Carol who is always ready to help make our vacation everything we want and more. This year we stayed. in a Shore Thing. It seemed a little smaller than what we usually rent but we needed to save a little money this year. We got there and we were so surprised at how spacious and homey it was. We bring the whole family including our dogs and it was more than enough room. And did I mention how clean ???? Never a bad word to say when renting from Mermaid Cottages !!!!

    I stayed at A Shore Thing April 2014 for my birthday and had a fantastic time. The cottage was adorable; looks exactly like the pictures only better! I brought my husky along with us and I don't know who had a better time, him or us?! The backyard is completely fenced in so I felt at ease letting him roam. The cottage even offered yummy dog biscuits! The cottage was very clean, beds were comfortable, furniture was nice. We were essentially at the back river which was beautiful at sunset. The oceanfront was a 10 minute walk which we didn't mind at all. Restaurants and bars were plenty close about a 10 minute walk to all the hustle and bustle in Tybee. Delicious seafood at Stingray's right down the street. Savannah is only a 20 minute drive. Great cottage location. Close enough to beach and bar/restaurant but also very private and peaceful. My overall experience at A Shore Thing in Tybee was great, I'd definitely plan on going back!
