Say Merry Christmas with Mermaids!

1 Comment / Mermaid Sightings /

You might think Christmas and Mermaids don’t mix…but we know they do around here! We’ve seen some fabulous ornaments for your tree and gift giving for that special coastal lover, but one thing we found really made our jingle bells ring! Look at these merry and bright Christmas cards featuring, what else, mermaids!

Just a sample of the whimsical work of artist Camille Grimshaw!
Look at this lovely lady!Who hasn't gotten tangled in lights at least once during the holidays?

These festive, beautiful cards are the work of Camille Grimshaw and you can find them in her shop, Camillion Creations on Etsy, along with loads of other amazing mermaid art. Camille is one talented lady, and we can’t get enough of her beautiful work. All of them are fabulous, but these Christmas cards are the perfect touch of whimsy for any one wishing to send coastal holiday cheer. I especially love the lovely lady busy checking off her Christmas shopping list! Make sure to stop by her shop and browse all of her work, because everything is fabulous…andas far as we are concerned, mermaids are in style all year-round!

Have you seen a mermaid? Well, we’d love to hear about it! Please send your mermaid sightings and stories to diane@mermaidcottages.com. We’d love to share your sighting with our Mermaid Nation, right here on our blog!

Your cottage is located next door to the Key Lime Parrot Cottage as well. It’s the perfect set up for family groups wanting to vacation together, but still enjoy their own space. It’s even ground level for anyone looking to avoid stairs.

Your cottage sits directly across the street from Memorial Park with wonderful family fun activites! The park includes a large children’s playground, tennis courts, and outdoor volleyball and basketball courts, so there are plenty of opportunities for fun. When you catch the beach-combing bug, Tybee’s gorgeous beach is a short 3 block walk through the park! Don’t want to walk? Check out the wonderful rentals at Tim’s Beach Gear…from bikes to beach gear, they have everything you need to be the beach bum you have always wanted to be!

After a long day of sight seeing and beach combing, return to your oasis of a cottage. At The Shrimp, the screened porch invites you to slow down and enjoy island life and ocean breezes. You can watch tv at your leisure, enjoy a cozy corner and catch up on your reading, and even stay as connected as you’d like with the complimentary high speed internet and WiFi. The Shrimp truely is the perfect Tybee Island escape!

We can’t contain our smiles when we hear from you, our cherished guests, about your successful holiday stay with us. For instance, check out what Erika and Sarah had to say about their recent Mermaid Cottages holiday:

“This was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable Thanksgivings I can remember. The cottage is very whimsical and when you step outside you can hear the ocean. I believe that this was the first year in a new Thanksgiving tradition.” ~Erika W. from Mesa, AZ about a stay at The Shrimp Cottage

Plan your trip to The Shrimp today!

“This was our second year a Mermaid cottage. Dutton Waller was warm and inviting. Once we put a few lights out on the porch to have our traditional al fresco Thanksgiving, we were all set. Diane and her Thanksgiving Turkey elves took care of everything we needed. The concierge service is impeccable. I highly suggest you rent any of the Mermaid Cottages. I know we will be back again and I cannot wait.” ~Sarah S. from Los Angeles, CA about a stay at Dutton-Waller Cottage.

Dutton-Waller Cottage is just waiting for you!

Thank you for sharing Erika and Sarah! Nothing makes us happier than hearing about happy guests! We enjoyed sharing your Thanksgiving, and we hope to see y’all again real soon!
