Gorgeous cottage

We absolutely loved our stay at the Mess Hall Cottage. The kitchen was well equipped, the porch was a lovely place to spend our non-beach time and the beach was just a short walk away. We would definitely stay here again.

Always wonderful

We have stayed at Screened Inn numerous times, and we can't imagine staying anywhere else when we visit Tybee. We also feel that the mermaids are hands down the best property management group that we've ever encountered. We'll be back as soon as possible!

Located near the lighthouse, the beach, the Legion and the Jaycee park it is a wonderful area to walk and bike.The house was clean and beds were comfortable. But the highlight was the incredible service from the Mermaid Cottages staff. They were incredibly helpful and responsive.

Tybee Island vacation

Stayed here for a few days with my husband, our friends and their dog. The place was perfect for two couples or a couple with a few kids. The fenced in yard was excellent for the dog too! We spent most of our time on the delightful screened in porch watching life go by on the Island. Clean, cute and cleverly decorated. Easy walk to the beach through the secret gate. I would definitely come back and stay here again.

Fabulous! Location!! Location!!! Love Tybee!!!

It was such wonderful stress free stay. This cottage was like a slice of heaven. You could easily walk to a few beaches and we rented a golf cart for true island wheels. We will be back. Thank you Mermaids!!!!

Adorable cottage! Perfect location!

We had such a great stay at the Enlisted Men’s Mess Hall. We felt welcome before we even arrived. Tammy was wonderful checking in with us before our arrival and when we first got there. We loved how we could easily walk to the beach, lighthouse ice cream and many restaurants. The space in the cottage was just right for our family of 4 and our 2 dogs loved the fenced in yard and daily walks around the adjacent park. We would love to come back!

September 24 Stay at Tybee

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful relaxing time at the Enlisted Men's Mess Hall. I'd been wanting to stay there for a while and I was not disappointed. The management staff couldn't have been better. Friendly, helpful and generally added a great element to our trip. We were there a week before Helene came in. Our weather was very nice but we're sorry that the island had to go through a hurricane. We hope that there was not much damage. We're looking forward to another trip to Tybee and Mermaid Cottages.
