Happy Halloween!

1 Comment / Mermaid Sightings /

Happy Halloween everyone! Since today is about all things spooky, and nothing says Halloween more than pumpkins, we though we’d share some amazing pumpkins with you! There are even a few pirates and a pretty frightening fish in the mix!

Just a fraction of the amazing talent of Ray Villifane!

These fabulous creations are the work of the outrageously talented artist, Ray Villifane of Villifane Studios. Aren’t they amazing? Mind-blowing would even be a better word! His pumpkins are world famous, but he doesn’t just stop with gorgeous gourds; Ray is also an amazing sand sculptor as well.

There are so many exquisite examples of his work on his website, so make sure you head over there for even more amazing art! You can even follow him on the Villifane Studios Facebook Page. Grab a cup of coffee or hot cider and spend some time in his galleries. His work is truly out-of-this-world!

Have a wonderful night boys and ghouls! Remember to be safe while you are out and about tonight. Happy Haunting from Mermaid Cottages!

Mermaids in Our Midst: Jessica from New Mexico

Leave a Comment / CandyLand of Cottages, Mermaid's Friends and Family /

Nothing makes us happier than hearing from you, our cherished guests. We had the best summer ever, and we can’t wait to see what autumn brings here on Tybee. We were so excited to read this lovely letter from Jessica, who recently visited our Crabby Jo’s Cottage all the way from New Mexico!

“We loved everything about Crabby Jo’s! The bedrooms were a bit small but that wasn’t a problem. There were three adults, one teenager, and two small children in our party (with numerous visitors during the day) and we all fit just fine. The extra showers downstairs were perfect for hosing off before venturing in after a day at the beach. While not “baby proofed” I felt comfortable letting my kids (age 3 and 11 months) wander freely about the home – it was very clean and well-kept. The beach, just steps away, was a dream – We even saw baby turtle tracks! The rest of Tybee Island was wonderful as well – we ate a number of local restaurants, visited numerous shops, hung out at the pier, and even purchased some kitschy art to bring back home to New Mexico (it’s a giant fish made out of scrap metal and an old boogie board!). We drove nearly 27 hours to visit Tybee (with two wee ones in the car) and I’d do it all over again. And I’d definitely stay at Crabby Jo’s again. Thank you for sharing your home with us!”

Thank you so much for sharing Jessica! We are overjoyed to hear that your time on Tybee Island was well spent! Twenty-seven hours is quite a trip, but we hope you can make it back real soon!

Have you stayed with us at Mermaid Cottages? We like nothing more than hearing from our guests. Please, don’t hesitate to let us know how your stay was! You can’t contact us by email at diane@mermaidcottages.com, or even leave your review on our Mermaid Cottages Facebook Page! Hearing from you, our Mermaid Family, just makes our day and we can’t wait to hear from you soon!

Bring Out Your Inner Mermaid!

Leave a Comment / Fun on Tybee, Mermaid Sightings /

Halloween is next week! Can you believe it?! We sure can’t. Well, if you are still looking for a costume idea, why not go nautical! Mermaids are all the rage, if you haven’t heard, and there are loads of neat ways to show off your inner siren!

Everyone knows about The Little Mermaid, but there are so many more ideas to make your costume that much more unique. Look at all these different marvelous mermaid costumes (and even wigs!) we found online at Amazon.com and on mermaidcostume.net! We are especially partial to that little mermaid princess…but they are all fabulous! There are even beautiful tales to be found on Etsy…just look at these fabulous tales from Pixy Tales!

Already have an outfit and just need some cool accessories? Well check out these! We LOVE the seaweed boa something fierce, and those nautical prosthetics from PM and D on Etsy are simply amazing! We even saw this fun make-up tutorial for those looking to transform into their inner mermaid!

How awesome is that, pretty awesome right? We sure thought so! We’ve been completely inspired for next week’s festivities and we hope you have too! Happy Haunting!
