Fall Break Stay at Mermaid

Overall it was a great stay! We really liked it on Tybee and in Savannah. Check in and out was easiest we have ever done. Only negative thing we could mention was the cleanliness of one of the bedrooms, but overall it did not take away from our stay. Thank you!

Mermaid House

The mermaid house had everything we needed for a family getaway. A block from the beach, easy to walk and easy to drive. Beds were cozy and everything was clean. We could have used some extra blankets since it was a chilly weekend.

Great beach house for our group!

This is a great house for a visit to Tybee Island and beach! The listing was accurate and house well maintained and stocked with sheets, towels, and blankets. The washer and dryer are in a room accessible from the side porch, so don't panic when you can't find it. Lots of room inside and out and a short walk to the beach!

Mermaids Tale

The layout was perfect for us. We went as a family of 2 grandparents, 4 adults with 3 children ages 2 to 8. The kids bedroom connected to the parents bedroom which worked great for us with the 3 bathrooms.

Tybee Island Trip

Nice property but not very well lit in kitchen. Not very clean nor any supplies provided to clean ourselves. Beds were very uncomfortable, all adults needed to use back massager. Check in process was very complicated and location to pick up key had wrong address. Check in person was very rude.

Great Location

The house was located just a couple blocks from the beach, close to restaurants and the IGA store, and very close to a park. We had my parents and our family of 4–2 kids aged 2.5 and 4.5. We were able to walk to the beach and the park which was great because Tybee Island requires you to pay for parking EVERYWHERE. The house is a little older, but the rooms were large and the house had everything we needed. I would caution staying with kids under 5-there are quite a few breakable things that required very close attention. For example, a glass coffee table whose glass is not attached to the stand underneath it. The check in process was very easy. Overall we enjoyed our stay and the house worked great for our family.

Relaxing stay

Overall it was a good rental. The property shows it's age. A few things could use repairs such as the ceiling vent in the bunk bed room, some of the trim to throughout the house showed decay, some damaged floor tiles. Could not figure out how to get the remotes to work in a couple of the bedrooms. Otherwise it was very roomy. There was a limited number of non breakable dishes and cups so we ended up buying paper plates, plastic cups, napkins, paper towels, etc. Close to the beach. Easy walk each day so we didn't have to pay for parking. Would consider it again if vacationing on Tybee Island.

Family Getaway

Just a simple quick getaway. I’m starting a new job next week. My Dad has Parkinson’s Dementia and my Mom is his caregiver. We needed just a simple getaway. Haven’t seen a beach in quite some time and I love Tybee. Found this cute little place for a cute little price and it fit our timeline exactly! Definitely an old fashion type of place so don’t expect any new amenities. Anything you need to plug in in the bedrooms is by extension cord only. TV’s in bedrooms are very tiny I just used my laptop to watch movies. Other than that it’s a great location. We still drove to the beach for convenience, we just didn’t want to walk the almost 3.5 blocks and then the long boardwalk to the beach and back. But the house is very close to a small grocery store and multiple restaurants.

Couples Weekend

It was a nice property. Perfect for 3 couples, maybe 4 if you don't mind sharing bathrooms. It was a smaller house but we spent most of our time at beach and in Savannah so was perfect for us. Would stay again for a short weekend. Would probably look for something a little bigger if bringing kids or staying longer

Perfect location -walking distance to Beach access

A cute little home within a nice neighborhood a short walking distance to the beach as well as a community playground and park for the children. A perfect family home for a beach vacation Kitchen was well furnished. I would say only minor recommendations which would include slightly better quality toilet paper and trash bags, otherwise perfect fit

Nice

The home was ok. Loved that it had 2 master suites. The housekeeping needed to be better. The hallway bath tub had a dirty towel and use bar of soap in it. I moved some of the throw rugs and I think they had not been moved in quite some time. The floors were really not clean. They all needed a good sweep and mop. I had to take care of most of this myself as it was a Christmas Eve when we checked in.

Don't believe the pictures

I booked this property and checked in. When I went to see the house it was not acceptable for 7 adults to stay there. The house is small and dated. The bathrooms need to be updated. The house is close to the street and close to neighbors. Don't be fooled by the pictures online. Thankfully the rental company was able to accommodate us in another house for the weekend. Tybee Beach Vacations is a wonderful company to work with.

Just barely OKAY

I was surprised that this property was not cleaner upon arrival. I will say that the sheets were clean and that the beds were pretty comfortable. But I have never experienced such dirty floors in a VRBO in my entire life. They weren't just dirty they were filthy. They turned our feet completely black. They ruined our socks. You definitely need to wear shoes inside this house... The kitchen is well outfitted except the toaster doesn't work. The appliances otherwise were all in working order. But every cupboard is full of dishes and there is absolutely no place to put food. The house is decorated kind of cute for a beach house. But there are accessories and decor everywhere. I mean on every surface. This made it a little bit hard to move in for 10 days. There was no place to put your personal items because every surface in the house was cluttered. After we were there 5 days we completely lost internet and the rental company replaced the modem after 24 hours. During the day the AC in the house was comfortable but every night we were sweating and uncomfortable. After three complaints to the rental agency they finally took a seriously and on day 5 replace the thermostat in the house. So the second half of our trip we were more comfortable and better able to sleep without sweating. It would have been nice if the rental company was making sure that the thermostat was working before we got there! It was a cute little house in an excellent location. It was a little difficult to move into because of all the stuff in the house. And if the floor is had not been filthy I would give it a better review. Whoever is cleaning that house needs to do a better job!
