Live Like a Local: Mermaids Give Back

1 Comment / Live Like a Local /

     It’s that time again! We are planning to be at Tybee’s Oceanside Nursing home for another Mermaids Give Back event, and we’d love to see you there. Spring has sprung here on our lovely island, and Easter is right around the corner. Come join all the mermaids and mer-men as we make paper-mâché eggs with the residents at Oceanside. We want to celebrate everything wonderful about Spring and bring a smile to some very special people while we’re at it!

     If you’d like to join us, we’d love to have you! We will be at Oceanside Nursing Home (located at 77 Van Horne Street) today, March 23rd, at 3:15 p.m. and also Thursday and Friday, March 24th and 25th, at 2:15 and 2:30 p.m. respectively. Please plan to join us! For more information, please call 912.658.1550 or email diane@mermaidcottages.com. All you need to bring is yourself, a smile, some old newspapers, and maybe a friend or two! If you can’t make it today, please feel free to join us on one or both of the other two days. We hope to see you there to help us celebrate Spring and get the Easter season hopping (sorry, I had to!) as Mermaids Give Back to the Tybee community!

Our good friend and favorite author, Mary Kay Andrews, was hard at work recently! She attended the Scotts Antique Show in Atlanta, and wouldn’t you know it, she spotted a mermaid!

 

Look at what Mary Kay Andrew's shared with us!

This is one lovely, vintage treasure of the sea! Thanks for sharing her with us Mary Kay, and I know you found many more fabulous things at that show, too. You always do!

Have you spotted a mermaid lately? We’d love to see it! Please send your sighting and maybe a little background about it to diane@mermaidcottages.com. Keep your eyes peeled, because your sighting could end up being our next featured Mermaid! We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Mermaid Tales: Doyle’s on the Beach!

4 Comments / Mermaid Tales /

Welcome to #2 18th Lane on Tybee Island! This quiet location is home to one of our newest cottage offerings, Doyle’s on the Beach! If you long for ocean views and salty sea breezes, Doyle’s is definitely the perfect choice for you!

Welcome to Doyle's!

Your cottage is just steps away from the island’s beautiful beach, so you are never more than a few paces from endless beach combing, sun bathing, or nature watching. Doyle’s is right next door to another new Mermaid Cottage family member, Crabby Jo’s, so large groups can stay close, yet enjoy their own space!

The cottage if full of wonderful, quirky art from local and regional artists and, of course, has a fully equipped kitchen to suit all your needs. Brew a pot of Mermaid Morning Bliss coffee (in every cottage!) and enjoy Tybee’s beautiful sunrises over the waves each morning. It just doesn’t get better than that!

come relax and unwind...

Doyle’s might be in a quiet locale, but you are still just a short walk, bike ride, or drive from everything Tybee Island has to offer. Your cottage is just a five minute trip from the amazing Tybee Island Lighthouse Station and Museum, or just ten minutes to the historic national treasure that is Fort Pulaski. There are also loads of things to do right downtown, like a visit to the Marine Science Center to learn more about the island and it’s ecology. For a more personalized approach, you can even schedule an ecology walking trip with Tybee Beach Ecology Tours!

Don’t wait another minute to plan your escape…summer is almost here and we are booking up fast! head on over to our website now and explore our cottages and availability. The beach is waiting for you!

I’m always so excited to hear from you, our guests! One thing I also never tire of is seeing pictures guests send. The smiles and happy faces always brighten my day! I recently received one such email from Nancy with these fabulous pictures of their stay at Ya’ll Come Inn Cottage.

I’m always smiling after seeing pictures like these! Ya’ll Come Inn is a great cottage for groups for any kind…especially Paula Deen fans. Nancy even sent a picture of her signed cookbook for us to see!

We are so glad you and your group enjoyed you stay Nancy, and thank you for sharing your wonderful photos!

Live Like a Local: Fun at The Crab Shack!

Leave a Comment / Live Like a Local /

We all had a blast this weekend at Tybee’s Isiah Heritage Parade! The entire island was decked out in green, and the Luck o’ the Irish was in the air. You can’t help but smile at a parade…especially when you see something like this. This was definitely one of my favorites!

You gotta love the creativity here!

Well, the fun is far from over around here! The Crab Shack is welcoming back friends from Junkanoo World in the Bahamas! Barabbas and the Tribe will be at the Shack daily from 6 to 8 p.m. performances through March 17th. You can also see them in Savannah’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade. If you haven’t experienced this amazing expression of Bahamian culture, you absolutely need to catch the show! It’s an explosion of costumes, dance, and drums you have to see to believe.

Barabbas and the Tribe from Junakanoo World!

The Crab Shack is also welcoming the New York Shields Pipes and Drums Band March 18th. This is a performance Tybee looks forward to every year and its a definite must to wrap up your St. Patty’s Day in style! The show starts around 7 p.m. so make plans to be there. We hope to see you for all the fun this weekend…and don’t forget to wear your green!!
