 Fish camp Cottage

     One of the best things about being at the beach is relaxing with a cocktail while enjoying the fresh ocean air. That’s a Fish Camp Cottage state of mind…and I couldn’t agree more! In fact, that is what has inspired the owners of the Fish Camp to have a contest!
     Join us on the Fish Camp Cottage Facebook page and help us come up with an official Fish Camp Cottage cocktail! The person with the winning recipe will receive a 3 day, 2 night stay at Fish Camp Cottage, complete with the fixin’s for your drink to enjoy during your stay! Your winning recipe will also be left for future guests to savor!
     So, round up your recipe and send it to fishcampcottage@yahoo.com! There will be pictures to come of the tasting of the top recipes after they are chosen in October, and our winner will be announced in November. We are also sharing the recipes here on our blog…and here are the first two! Enjoy!

Mermaid Sighting: Reveal of the Mermaid!

1 Comment / Uncategorized /
Last Friday was First Friday Art Night here on Tybee, and it was quite a night! The island has been aflutter all week anticipating the big reveal of artist Douglas Jones’ latest piece…The Mermaid!
The Douglas Jones Fish Art Gallery is on HWY 80 as you enter the island!

There was a great crowd in attendance for the unveiling and Ooo’s and Ahh’s abounded amid the applause as the ribbon was cut, the cover fell away, and The Mermaid was released!

She has yet to be named, though, so the gallery is holding a contest to find a name that will be the perfect fit for the fabulous lady. At some point she will welcome visitors to the island, but for now she is welcoming visitors at the gallery with a flirty smile!

Remember, mermaids are everywhere! If you see one, snap a picture and share it with us! Send your sightings, their location, and your name to diane@mermaidcottages.com…your photo could be featured as our next Mermaid Sighting! We look forward to hearing form you!!

Mermaid Tales: Southern Cross Cottage

3 Comments / Mermaid Tales /

     It’s official…football season is here and we are in Georgia, home of the Bulldogs! What in the world does that matter, you ask? Well, one of our cottages shares a special connection to the University of Georgia mascot!

      Joe and Sherry, the owners of Southern Cross Cottage, have shared more than just their beautiful cottage with guests. They love when things have a story to them, as I do, and they let me in on some of the stories attached to this special place!

Southern Cross Cottage

     You see, Sherry’s great grandfather, Charles Black, Sr., attended the University of Georgia from 1894 to 1898. Charlie, as he was called, played football for the college and often brought his bulldog, Trilby, with him to practices. Eventually, Trilby began to attend the football games, where the cheerleaders decked him out with red and black ribbons around his neck. The University of Georgia then had their mascot, and became the Bulldogs!

      Sonny Sieler, the current owner of the beloved mascot Uga, even tells this story in his book “Damn Good Dawgs”…and what a great story!

Come on in and relax!

     That’s just one of the many wonderful tales Southern Cross Cottage has to share, so why not plan a visit? Explore a little Georgia history while you enjoy a piece of Georgia paradise!
