Mermaid Tale: Key Lime Parrot Cottage

Leave a Comment / CandyLand of Cottages, Mermaid Tales /

Welcome to your home away from home on Tybee Island, Key Lime Parrot Cottage! If you are looking for the perfect island getaway, look no further, you’ve come home. The Key Lime Parrot is the ideal choice for a family vacation. With one king, one queen, and two full beds, this cottage has plenty of room for everyone! Your cottage even sits right next door to The Shrimp Cottage! Looking for a way for two families to vacation together, but still have some privacy? Be neighbors at the beach and book both homes! Both cottages are directly across the street from Memorial Park and the Tybee YMCA, so there are plenty of opportunities for activities to keep you busy. Key Lime Parrot Cottage is also ground level, making it perfect for anyone looking to avoid climbing a lot of stairs.

During your stay at The Key Lime Parrot, you are close to everything Tybee Island has to offer. Picnic in the park, take the beautiful 4 block stroll to the beach, or bring your bikes and enjoy cruising where ever you need to go! Your cottage is the perfect home base after a day full of trips to local hot spots, like The Tybee Lighthouse Station, the Pier and Pavilion, or Fort Pulaski. It’s also an oasis in which to escape the world. If staying close to home is more your speed, you’ll enjoy the cozy quirky atmosphere. There’s a fully equipped kitchen for all those home chefs out there, loads of books and games to enjoy, and cable television for surfing of a different kind. You can even stay as connected as you want with the complimentary high-speed internet and WiFi. Brew a cup of our Mermaid Morning Bliss (waiting for you in every cottage!) and enjoy rocking the day away in one of the many rocking chairs, or enjoy the beautiful privacy of the fenced yard. Take it slow and enjoy the salty sea air from your screened porch. Rinse off in your private outdoor shower after a day of beach combing…it’s up to you!

Key Lime Parrot Cottage is just missing one thing…YOU! You don’t have to wait, either. We have dates available now! Plan your visit online now, or give us a call at (912) 313-0784 and let us help you plan your perfect island escape. We hope to hear from you soon!

Mermaids in Our Midst: Bliss and Happiness Reign Supreme at Mermaid Cottages

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

We love hearing from our guests! Every note, email, and phone call warms our hearts. It’s especially touching when we get to hear from our regular guests that return as often as they can. It means a lot to us to hear why they keep visiting, and just what makes them come back. We recently heard from just such a guest!

“Dear Mermaids, we first stayed with Mermaid Cottages back in March 2007. We immediately fell in love with Tybee and the cottages on that very first trip and have been on a whirlwind tour of your homes ever since! We have stayed at Nora’s (twice), Sea Largo, Castaway, Breeze Inn, Dutton Waller (twice), Blue Heron and now most recently, Brooks Cottage. We feel like we are at home the minute we arrive. Every detail is so lovingly taken care of by Mermaid Cottages. The homes are sweet, spotless, and cozy.

Just some of the many beautiful Mermaid Cottages!

In all of these years and all of these homes, we have never once run into a problem or been dissatisfied in any way. As soon as we are “on island” we immediately begin to relax and breathe it all in. As I’ve mentioned to Diane before, bliss and happiness reign supreme there. Hectic lives are forgotten. It’s even difficult to discern what decade we’re in, as Tybee has a knack for transporting us to an era before we were even born…and make it feel completely natural to be there. Each home has its own story, its own soul. Our favorite is simply the one we’re in at the time. We have truly loved them all.

Brewster and Bella enjoy the breeze at Dutton-Waller Cottage.

Our pups, Brewster & Bella, begin to get excited the minute they see our Tybee overnight bags come out. They know they are in for a treat (literally!) as all the homes provide Beach Bum Dog Biscuits! They love the fenced in yards and screened in porches. They too are on vacation from their work as certified Canine Good Citizen aide dogs. They train hard and play hard, but when in Tybee, they go local and relax along with everyone else. They love taking walks around the island, meeting new friends, and napping under a palm tree. We are eternally grateful that Diane, the Mermaid Cottages staff, and thoughtful designers have taken the time to preserve this very special slice of Americana and in turn share it with folks like me. And we are truly blessed to live close enough to come and be a part of it as often as we do.

Mermaids for life, Melissa & Alan C.”

Brewster and Bella love the porch at Brooks Cottage!

Wow, thank you so much Melissa and Alan! It’s letters like this that warm our hearts and make us smile. We are so glad to know we are doing exactly what we set out to do…make your escape to paradise as perfect as possible! Thanks so much for sharing, and don’t be strangers. We hope to see you and the pups again real soon!
