A New Bath Makes A Big Splash On Tybee Island

A new bath makes a big splash on Tybee Island and we want you to come see it!  The off season may be when fewer people are enjoying beach getaways, but it’s definitely the time when our cottages all get deep cleans and new updates.  If you’ve ever been on a Girls Getaway, a family beach trip or had a Big Chill weekend with friends, you know it can be a real challenge to get everyone ready and out the door for meals and nights on the town.  So, if there’s ever an update that guests really appreciate, it’s a new bath.

Santa Paws loves his stopovers on Tybee Island and you will, too!  Whether you’re a Solo Traveler or looking for a Couples Getaway, a BabyMoon, Girls Getaways, Mancations or Family Fun, you should always bring your FurMaid, with you.  After all, a pet fee at Mermaid Cottages is much cheaper than a boarding fee.  Thus, your best getaways should always include your dogs.  Let’s face, we could all use some extra points with Santa, so load up your dogs and enjoy one of our seven top getaways for Santa Paws.
