“I vant to be alone…”, lamented the famous reclusive beauty, Greta Garbo.

Sometimes, you just need a little “ME” time. There doesn’t have to be anything wrong. In fact, everything could be just right.

Just ask the countless writers that book Fiddler On The Creek on a regular basis. For inspiration, a little solitude and a deck that’ll have you doing your best Tarzan yell, you owe it to yourself to experience this charming little bungalow.

Just four quaint, delicious rooms-a living room, a bedroom, a cottage kitchen and an “under the hula moon” screened porch. You can’t even guilt yourself into much housework. There’s no dishwasher, no washer, no dryer. Just pure blissful solitude with which to indulge and recharge your senses. …

Screened Inn Bliss on Tybee Island

1 Comment / CandyLand of Cottages, Mermaid's Friends and Family / Melissa

We love hearing from you, our cherished guests! It really makes us smile to hear about your stay with us at Mermaid Cottages. Like this review from Michelle from Lawrenceville, GA, a recent guest to Screened Inn Cottage:

“I could only get away from work for a few days. I was taking my mother and traveling with teenagers too, so I was not too sure how this trip would go. Between shopping, the lighthouse, bike rides on the beach, and a quick trolley tour of Savannah, we were all able to find things to do that we enjoyed. The best part for me was coming back to the Screened Inn each day sitting on the porch, the hammock, or at the lovely kitchen table and feeling so relaxed and at home.”

Thank you for sharing Michelle! We are so glad Screened Inn could be your restful haven, even if just for a few days! Don’t be a stranger, y’all come back to Tybee real soon!

Mermaids in South Carolina!

1 Comment / Mermaid Sightings / Melissa

Here at Mermaid Cottages, we believe everyone has an inner mermaid- but how often do we get to see a real mermaid, in the flesh? Not as often as we’d like, right? Well, now you can!

It is just a short trip up the road to catch a live mermaid show at the Ripley’s Aquarium of Myrtle Beach, SC! Mermaid Melissa, professional mermaid extraordinaire, performs daily, four shows a day, all summer! Just look at this beautiful video!

Mermaid Melissa isn’t just a performer, she’s an ocean activist. Her motto is, “Let’s save the oceans before all creatures become mythical.” She is active in charities and also participates in events that bring awareness to the ocean and all of its inhabitants. Melissa has an amazing and extensive background, so make sure you check out her full biography and head over to her offical Mermaid Melissa Facebook Page. If you want even more, visit her website for loads of information, videos, and articles!

Have you seen a mermaid? We’d love to hear about it! Please send your sightings and stories to us at diane@mermaidcottages.com and let us share them with our Mermaid Nation, right here on our blog. We can’t wait to hear from you!
