We are so honored to say that, for the third year in a row, Mermaid Cottages was named the Best Decorated Business on Tybee! It couldn’t have happened without every single Mermaid and Merman in our group, so we want to send out a huge Thank You and Job Well Done to our entire Mermaid Cottages family for all their hard work making every single cottage merry for the holidays. The entire island does a fabulous job with decorating, so being honored this way really warms our hearts! Just look at these beautiful pictures from Fish Camp Cottage, Paws and Paddles Cottage, Dutton-Waller Cottage, and Paula Deen’s Y’all Come Inn!

Just a few of our cottages showing their Christmas spirit!

Makes us all warm and fuzzy just looking at those! If the holiday lights and decorations haven’t sufficiently helped you to be jolly, don’t forget there are still loads of events happening on Tybee for the Holidays. In fact, this weekend is packed full of Christmas cheer!

The 3rd Annual Floating Christmas Parade is always a fun not-to-be-missed event at The Crab Shack!

This time of year might be a slower season on Tybee Island, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing going on! Tybee is still beautiful during the fall and winter months, and you can still enjoy long lazy days of strolling with the beach all to yourself! Just look at these beautiful pictures from our very own Mermaid Margo, owner of Fish Camp Cottage. Pure beach bliss!
