“We loved everything about the Crabby Pirate Cottage!!! What an excellent trip! The cottage felt like home to us. We had everything we needed to make our vacation perfect. I will recommend Mermaid Cottage’s to everyone that I know. The beds where extremely comfortable and the kitchen was wonderful to have with the teenagers! The view of the marsh was wonderful also. We loved watching the wildlife early in the mornings.We can’t wait to return!”

Mermaid Tale: Crabby Pirate Cottage

3 Comments / CandyLand of Cottages / Melissa

Welcome to Lewis Avenue, home to Mermaid Cottages’ very own Crabby Pirate Cottage. This beautiful circa 1940 home is such a value! Crabby Pirate Cottage sits directly on the beautiful marshes of Tybee, so get ready for some amazing sunset views. Your bright and cheerful cottage features three cozy bedrooms, so groups of up to six sleep very comfortably. To make it even better, Crabby Pirate Cottage is also pet friendly! Don’t leave your best fur-iends behind! Bring them along to enjoy the salty sea air and gorgeous fenced-in yard.

Like all Mermaid Cottages, Crabby Pirate is close to everything Tybee Island has to offer! Enjoy a 15 minute stroll to the beaches and Tybee’s lively downtown, full of shops and restaurants, or just stay in and get away from it all. Your cottage has a fully equipped kitchen, cable television, and even complimentary high speed internet and WiFi! You can even enjoy a cook out or two on the grill provided outside! Crabby Pirate Cottage has it all!

What are you waiting for? Fall is one of the most beautiful seasons here on Tybee Island. Book your trip today and fall in love with our little corner of paradise. Hope to see you soon!
