Mermaids in Our Midst: Jessica and Family from New Mexico

We love hearing from our guest about their Mermaid Cottages stay. Hearing from you helps us make sure we are doing everything we can to make your Tybee Island escape perfect, so it makes our heart smile to see notes like this one from Jessica all the way in Albuquerque, New Mexico!

“The perfect vacation home for our family! We loved everything about Crabby Jo’s! The bedrooms were a bit small but that wasn’t a problem. There were 3 adults, 1 teenager, and 2 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- a giant fish made out of scrap metal and an old boogie board! We drove nearly 27 hours to visit Tybee (with 2 wee ones in the car) and I’d do it all over again. I’d definitely stay at Crabby Jo’s again, too. Thank you for sharing your home with us!” ~Jessica M. from New Mexico

We are so excited your family vacation was such a success, Jessica! That’s quite a drive, so we’re glad you were able to relax and enjoy your stay after such a journey. We love to hear you fell for Tybee, and we can’t wait to see you again! Don’t be a stranger!

Mermaid Tale: Mimosa Cottage

Welcome to Mimosa Cottage!

Welcome to Mimosa Cottage on Tybee Island! This completely restored and decorated 1940’s family beach cottage is just perfect for your next Tybee getaway.  This home sleeps seven comfortably, so it’s great for anyone looking to have plenty of room, but still stay cozy. Mimosa Cottage is also ground level, so it’s perfect for anyone wanting to avoid a lot of stair climbing.

Chip loves visiting Mimosa Cottage!

Your cottage has a comfy, relaxing screened porch to enjoy the salty sea air, and a large patio to soak up Tybee’s beautiful island sunshine. The home has a fenced in yard as well, so it’s safe for your kiddies to play or your pets to enjoy a lap or two around the yard! That’s right, pets are more than welcome at Mimosa Cottage, so don’t leave them behind!

Your beach retreat is just two houses away from Flip Flop Cottage, three away from Maddie’s on Jones, and a few houses away from Key Lime Parrot and The Shrimp Cottages. It’s an ideal set up for two or three families looking to vacation together, but still maintain their own space. It doesn’t get any better than that!

Tybee's beautiful fishing pier.

Mimosa Cottage is close to everything Tybee Island has to offer, so make sure to explore every nook and cranny during your stay. The sights and sounds of beautiful Historic Savannah, Georgia are also only a 20 minute drive from your door. There’s no shortage of sight-seeing around here!

If being a beach bum is more your style, spend your days relaxing on our gorgeous beaches, then come home to everything you could need while on island time. Your cottage has a fully equipped kitchen, free high speed and WiFi internet, a stereo system, and cable television.  There’s even an outdoor shower (hot and cold water!) for refreshing yourself after those hours of beach combing bliss.

Mimosa Cottage is just missing one thing...YOU!

Don’t wait another minute…Mimosa Cottage has dates open right now for your special trip. Book your visit today or give us a call at 912.313.0784. We can’t wait to help make your Mermaid Cottages dreams come true!
