Here at Mermaid Cottages, we pride ourselves on the beauty and comfort of each and every home we offer. We love to know our guests have everything they need during their stay, so when we make additions or improvements, we like to share them with you! The addition over at The Enlisted Men’s Mess Hall is one example!
The home used to be a two bedroom with one full bath, one half bath. Now, The Mess Hall boasts two full bathrooms with the addition of a brand new shower! The addition is in the front bedroom bath, where the two twin beds make their home. This makes the cottage even easier on families and groups, since there are now two locations to freshen up after a day of beach combing! Isn’t it lovely?
We are so excited about the new addition, and hope future guests find it just as wonderful as we do! Want to see it for yourself? Well, plan a trip today: we have open dates right now! The Mess Hall is just waiting on one thing… YOU!
We always love to hear from you, our cherished guest, about your stay here on Tybee! After one trip to Mermaid Cottages, you are part of our family, which makes you an honorary Mermaid! Here’s what a recent Mermaid had to say about her December stay at the Enlisted Mens’ Mess Hall:
“My sister and I traveled to the US from Australia in Dec 2011, after staying in NYC for ten nights, we were quite homesick. All of that changed once we were dropped off at this cottage; our whole trip finally felt like a holiday. It was just the most perfect stay we could have hoped for. The attention to detail is exceptional, there is not one thing the team at Mermaid Cottages hasn’t thought of. The cottage felt clean, fresh and summery. The bed was so comfortable I could have slept all week, and the bathtub! Wow. You could have a party in there. I have stayed in a lot of places, all around the world, and this cottage is without a doubt the best so far. Thank you so much for the blessing of letting us stay here.”
Nothing makes us happier than to know our guests are happy…especially when we hear a review like this! We are so glad you had a wonderful stay. Don’t be a stranger!
We love hearing from each and every one of our guests. If you have stayed with Mermaid Cottages, we’d love to hear from you about your stay. You can share your review on our Mermaid Cottages Facebook Page, or email us at diane@mermaidcottages.com. We can’t wait to hear from you!

We are always excited when Mermaid Cottages gets a mention or a feature in the media! Forbes Magazine recently mentioned the wonderful Paula Deen’s Ya’ll Come Inn in their recent article, When a Celebrity is Your Landlord. We couldn’t be more excited and honored that Ya’ll Come Inn and Mermaid Cottages were mentioned!
Paul Deen‘s special Tybee Island retreat is a true treasure, and we are honored to call it part of our Mermaid family. Paula is all about giving back and sharing with her fans as much as possible. When she bought the house, it was intended to be their family beach escape. But the reality was, due to her hectic traveling and appearance schedule, she is lucky just to find time to enjoy her home in Savannah, let alone the Tybee beach house. Because it is so beautiful, she decided it would be an outstanding opportunity to share something that is very personal and beautiful to her and open it up to visits from her fans. She offers the home at the best price, comparative to the other island homes. She also sweetens the pot by adding even more of her personal Paula Touch with special gifts to visiting guests that include VIP reservations to her restaurants, The Lady and Sons or Uncle Bubba’s, a personalized autographed cookbook, and a Paula Deen Bag of Goodies with spices & treats! Unlike most of the vacation rentals on Tybee, Paula will not even allow the restriction of a minimum nights stay. To help her fans even more, she loves to offer even lower rates for them during the off season, like the one we have now for the winter.
We couldn’t be more proud that Paula Deen’s Y’all Come Inn is part of the Mermaid Cottages family! If you want to learn more, check out our booking information page or call our Reservation Mermaids Denise and Jan at 912.655.6525 or 912.658.1550. Make sure you check out the article over on the Forbes site as well!
We are so excited about the new addition, and hope future guests find it just as wonderful as we do! Want to see it for yourself? Well, plan a trip today: we have open dates right now! The Mess Hall is just waiting on one thing… YOU!
