Management

Received a phone call from the manager telling us her worker drove by and told her we “had a bunch of people at the house”. Really? House sleeps 8 and we had 7. Strike 1. Then we discover that for a house that sleeps 8 (4 bedrooms) there is only 2 parking spaces. So one of our cars has to park on the grass. The manager told us we might get a ticket. Strike 2. They need to provide parking tags for the cars is this is an issue. She said they couldn’t afford them because they were 300 a year. Seriously?! A small price to pay for making sure your guests don’t get a ticket. I will never use Mermaid Cottages again.

Great house in a great location!

We had a group of 5 adult friends wanting a relaxing weekend on the beach while being close enough to get into the city...and we got it! The home is great, very clean, all the amenities you could want, and great communication from the property manager. Will definitely keep this on the list for the future.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been coming to Tybee and staying at this house for several years now. You can’t beat the location. The house is perfect size for 8 adults. However, they do need to replace mattresses in a few of the bedrooms,and living room furniture. They are quite worn out, and the living room furniture only seats about 5 adults.

Amazing!!

We had such a wonderful time at this property! It was clean, spacious, bright, and everything we hoped for. It is in a safe walkable area that is a super short walk to the beach. We had such a wonderful experience with the property manager and the cleaning crew. They were great at communicating promptly, accommodating our needs, and being flexible with us. I could not recommend this property enough if you are coming to the area!!

Vitamin Sea - just what the Dr ordered

We chose Vitamin Sea because of the location on the island and the 4 bedrooms. We were in town for our son’s wedding and this was the perfect house for needs. The house was very clean. Loved the views from the kitchen/ family room. The property manager was in contact with us after we arrived and also arranged for an extra day when one of our guests woke up sick on the morning of our original departure. Great stay!
