Mermaid Sighting: Roadside Mermaids!

Everyone at Mermaid Cottages loves seeing mermaid sightings come in. It never ceases to amaze us where mermaids might be hiding. Well, this week’s sighting is a doozie! Usually, our sightings are of solitary mermaids, but this week we had a gaggle of mermaids courtesy of Melissa and Rob from DeLand, Florida. Here’s what Melissa had to say about their sighting:

“Ever since our honeymoon with Mermaid Cottages back in 2008, we are always on the lookout for mermaids. Well, we recently moved to Florida so I thought there’d be a plethora of them, but they seemed few and far between…until we went to Barberville! There seemed to be a mermaid around every corner at Barberville Roadside Yard Art & Produce. I didn’t even get a picture of them all before my camera battery died! We even got a merman! I hope you enjoy them as much as we did!”

WOW! That’s a lot of mermaids in one spot. The street lamp is especially neat! Thanks for sharing Melissa and Rob; you certainly hit the mermaid jackpot!

Have you spotted a mermaid? We’d love to hear about it! Please send your sightings and stories to diane@mermaidcottages.com and keep any eye out. Your sighting could be the next feature on our blog!

Mermaid Morning Bliss Coffee Supports Tybee’s Sea Turtles

The sun is peeking over the ocean, dolphins are jumping, and the salty sea breeze is on its way through. Oh, what a beautiful morning for Mermaid Morning Bliss Coffee! You heard that correctly…coffee from The Mermaids! We are so excited about it because sales of our Mermaid Morning Bliss Coffee help support the Tybee Sea Turtles program!

Mermaid Cottages has recreated our own line of custom coffee with the help of Phillip at the wonderful PERC Coffee Roasters right up the road in beautiful Historic Downtown Savannah, GA. We’ve got a brand new blend and a brand new look to go along with it! Each coffee blend is hand-roasted in small batches to ensure you get the very best coffee experience. Phillip’s passion for making the best coffee possible certainly shows in every delicious cup! Our Mermaid Morning Bliss, available exclusively in our cottages or at Seaside Sisters, is available to order by the pound. Our Coffee makes a great souvenir or take-home gift, but best of all, sales help support the Tybee Sea Turtles programs!

Tybee Island’s Sea Turtle season runs from May 1st thru Oct 31st. During this time Loggerhead sea turtles come to our beaches to lay their eggs; 60 days later they hatch and the babies race to the sea. Mermaid Cottages has always been a proud supporter of the NESTS program and the Tybee Island Marine Science Center Sea Turtle Project. We are so proud to say Mermaid Morning Bliss helps our efforts!

We provide each cottage with our Mermaid Morning Bliss Coffee for you to enjoy during your stay, but you can also take our unique taste of Tybee home with you! Email us at diane@mermaidcottages.com to order by the pound, or make sure you stop by Seaside Sisters while you are visiting for everything Mermaid Cottages, including our delicious Mermaid Morning Bliss! And, for more information about Tybee Sea Turtles or to find out how you can be involved, click here to visit the website or call (912) 786-5917 for more information.  Thank you for helping us support our sea turtles!
