Additionally, the home is located close to the beach access boardwalk at 6th Street via a short 4-block walk (roughly a 5 minute stroll).

This was such a cute cottage for our bachelorette trip we planned. The house decor is the cutest and matches the photos! The front porch that was enclosed was perfection! It has two swinging day beds. I really liked how well stocked the house was too when it comes to essentials! The backyard was good too, we ran into an issue with a lot of mosquitoes and Missy was quick to respond and have them come out and spray. The location of the home was also another for us so that was a plus! So close to restaurants, shops, beach, gas stations and cuz store! Loved the home Missy, thanks again for allowing us to stay!

Friend-Family vacation!

If you ask the four kids what their favorite part of our Tybee vacation was they would answer the house! Our favorite was the front porch with the amazing swings and the pool in the backyard. The landscaping around the house provides a secluded tropical pool experience. The location of the house is centrally located on Tybee, easy to get to the Pier and lighthouse. The beach is a 2min bike ride away, beautiful dunes, sand, sun and ocean! We rented bikes allowing us to get around without a car all week. We hope to get back to Tybee again and when we do we hope the Salty Mermaid Cottage is available as it made the vacation!

We had a great stay, just wish it was longer. Such a fun and cozy cottage that is beautifully decorated. The porch and porch swings are amazing and would have loved to have spent more time there but it was a little chilly during our stay. The owners made great use out of the property with area for pool, corn hole, ping pong and more. I would return to this property for another stay.

Wonderful stay

This was my family's first-time visiting Tybee Island. I have 2 teens and it is important for everyone to have their own space and this house was everything we needed. Everyone had their own bedroom - all of the beds were super comfortable. The outdoor spaces were great. The porch area with the bed swings also provided a space to just relax and unwind. The pool and hot tub were fabulous and we enjoyed both while there. The house is just overall very cozy. We all thought it was just the perfect place for us. The property is so close to the beach and to the local grocery. It is also about 30 minutes from Savannah. So we were able to get some beach time in as well as tour beautiful Savannah. You wont go wrong renting this house. Its cozy, beautifully decorated, quiet, enough room to have family time, and enough spaces for everyone to have a little solitude. The host has thought of everything you need for your stay. We will definitely be renting again.

Our Favorite Tybee Vacation House!!

Tybee is our happy place and we have stayed in many great rentals. This was our first time staying at Salty Mermaid Cottage and we all agreed it was our favorite house! The details make the difference. Clean. Gorgeously decorated. So many little touches of convenience: coffee machines, paper products, pool toys and towels, beach chairs and toys, hair dryers, books and board games! From the front porch bed swings to the the pool area to the ping pong and cornhole, there was a spot and activity for everyone! The kids lived in the pool and hot tub! The back deck has one of the best spots for watching the sunset over the marsh side of the island. We could easily keep an eye on the kids while enjoying cocktails. The location was just close enough to the beach but also set away from the commotion of the night life. Of course the nightlife is just a short golf cart ride away. We loved staying in this area of the island. Host was very responsive to our needs. We can’t wait to return!

AMAZING Girls Weekend

The Salty Mermaid was everything we had wished for and more. The location is great for the beach and easy walking since it is a nice mid-point of Tybee. The over all consensus was it was "the cutest VRBO ever" by the entire group. The pool was heated and warm enough to swim in February and the hot tub and firepit were great at night. Missy was very responsible via VRBO app and text upon arrival.
