CRABBY JO’S:A Dog’s New Best Friend!

Ahoy, Pups!  Dog Days on Tybee just got even better!  Announcing the newest dog friendly cottage in the Mermaid Cottages Collection: CRABBY JO’S!

Located just one house back from the south beach on 18th lane, this newly refurbished cottage is your perfect paradise to get Tybee-ized!

With wrap around porches and sweeping views of the south end, the ocean breezes will always welcome you at Crabby Jo’s!  The yard is not fenced in, but you’ll find quiet Tybee streets that beckon you to dog stroll and wander!

This circa 1930 vintage hideaway sleeps six comfortably, so it’s a special home for families or a cozy cottage getaway for a couple.  Loaded with all the Mermaid Cottages brand standards, you can enjoy WiFi and all the modern conveniences or  turn the world off and just lose yourself in beach walking, beach combing, ecology discoveries and some of the most spectacular sunrises and sunsets Tybee has to offer.

It’s also stocked with our famous Beach Bum Biscuits and our extraordinary Morning Bliss coffee service.  You’ll find the art of slowing down has never been easier.

Ya’ll comin’?

Keepin’ It REAL!

The lookouts are on alert!

We’re on hand to greet the next REAL…

No, it’s not a new installment of the Real Housewives Franchise…it’s something better!

THE REAL BARKHOUNDS OF TYBEE!

Everyone knows that human-folks enjoy our quirky island and our vintage cottages, but some of our favorite sightings are the dogs (and some Puddy-Tats) we encounter.

Some are year round residents while others are here just for visits, but either way we love meeting them and learning about their adventures around Tybee.

Send us photos of your furiends enjoying Tybee and they just might end up on The Real Barkhounds of Tybee!  Oh, come on…if you send us photos of your pets enjoying themselves no matter where they are we’ll probably post their pics, too.

And, you can’t get a better shot than that of your dog enjoying our delicious, all natural dog treats, Beach Bum Biscuits.

Just go to mermaidcottages.com, click on our BLOG link, post your photos and stories on our Beach Bum Biscuits FACEBOOK page and we’ll do the rest!

WOOF!

Berkeley Springs: A Guide To Life

We received this update on Berkeley Springs, one of our sponsored Guide Dog puppies in training.  He’s very close to graduating and may be paired with a person with a disability, soon!

Berkeley Springs is finishing up his guide training and is working on the subways, doing city work and crowd work, taking country walks, mall work and riding escalators.  They are increasing distraction levels on all of his work and maintaining levels of concentration.  He has some slight noise sensitivity, but that is all.  His trainer says that he loves him and he is doing very well.

Join us in sending our well wishes and support to Berkeley Springs as he reaches this important milestone in his training.  His life of service will mean a more independent life and freedom for a person with disabilities.

Go forth young Berkeley Springs!  You can do it!
