Mermaids in Our Midst: Tucked Inn at Tybee Happiness

When you come to Tybee Island, we want you to have a wonderful time! Everyone at Mermaid Cottages wants to make each and every guest’s stay the vacation they have always dreamed of, and we always try to go that extra mile to make you smile. We love sharing our beautiful island, and when we receive messages from recent happy guests, our hearts just swell with pride! This message from Mark in Oklahoma, who recently stayed in Tucked Inn at Tybee Cottage,  really made our day!

Tucked Inn at Tybee Cottage

“Our vacation to Tybee Island began with an unexpected disappointment with the property we had rented for 2 weeks from [another rental company]. We did our best to make it work out, but to no avail, just too many shortcomings to overcome. Then I contacted Diane Kaufman at Mermaid Cottages, and she rescued us. She helped us find a property that surpassed our expectations, and made our stay on the wonderful Tybee Island all it could be. She cared about us, and bent over backwards to ensure our satisfaction. When going to Tybee Island, look no further than Mermaid Cottages and Diane Kaufman.”

· By Mark from Chandler, OK on for a stay in June 2011

Thank you so much for sharing Mark! We are really glad you called and allowed us to help you make your Tybee Island stay everything it could be. Your kind remarks made us smile from ear to ear! Don’t be a stranger; we hope you return to Tybee soon!
