Mermen in Our Midst: Leonard Miller

Here at Mermaid Cottages, and all over the Tybee Island, Leonard Miller is known as The Sand Man! Leonard is quite the artist and has helped us with several projects through the years. We just love his work in Madelyn’s on the Marsh, and his sand creations are famous.

Recently, Leonard has been having some pretty rough complications from diabetes. Last week, he had surgery to combat a leg infection and though he’s resting and doing well now, but he lost his big toe. Because of all this, Leonard isn’t going to be able to work for quite a while. He is such a wonderful part of our community and holds a super special place in our hearts here at Mermaid Cottages….that’s why we want to help any way that we can.

Leonard will be recuperating for a while and he is really going to miss visiting friends and fans since he won’t be able to get out and about for at least a month. So, we are sure he’d love to be showered with cards, calls, and visits while he gets better! If you want to help out, please send your thoughts, prayers, well wishes, or contributions to Leonard, he’d love to get them! You can send cards and letters to Leonard Miller at 218 West 37th Street, Savannah, GA, 31401, or give him a call at 912.667.3374.     We just love our Leonard and we wish him an extra speedy recovery. Get well soon Leonard!

Mermaids in Our Midst: Tucked Inn at Tybee Happiness

When you come to Tybee Island, we want you to have a wonderful time! Everyone at Mermaid Cottages wants to make each and every guest’s stay the vacation they have always dreamed of, and we always try to go that extra mile to make you smile. We love sharing our beautiful island, and when we receive messages from recent happy guests, our hearts just swell with pride! This message from Mark in Oklahoma, who recently stayed in Tucked Inn at Tybee Cottage,  really made our day!

Tucked Inn at Tybee Cottage

“Our vacation to Tybee Island began with an unexpected disappointment with the property we had rented for 2 weeks from [another rental company]. We did our best to make it work out, but to no avail, just too many shortcomings to overcome. Then I contacted Diane Kaufman at Mermaid Cottages, and she rescued us. She helped us find a property that surpassed our expectations, and made our stay on the wonderful Tybee Island all it could be. She cared about us, and bent over backwards to ensure our satisfaction. When going to Tybee Island, look no further than Mermaid Cottages and Diane Kaufman.”

· By Mark from Chandler, OK on for a stay in June 2011

Thank you so much for sharing Mark! We are really glad you called and allowed us to help you make your Tybee Island stay everything it could be. Your kind remarks made us smile from ear to ear! Don’t be a stranger; we hope you return to Tybee soon!

Everyone at Mermaid Cottages knows…mermaids are everywhere! They may seem elusive at first, but once you know to keep an eye out, they start popping up everywhere in your daily life! Take this mermaid, for instance. Our fellow Merman, Rob, shared this everyday mermaid with us!

Yes, mermaids may even pop up in your daily breakfast rituals! How exciting is that?! Thanks for sharing Rob!
