7 Mermaid Cottages Are Decked Out For Christmas

Seven Mermaid Cottages are decked out for Christmas. So many have spent the past year in quarantine and separated from friends and family, we’re recommending you think outside the house for your Christmas and New Year’s celebrations. Gather you loved ones on Tybee Island where you can even request your cottage be decorated upon your arrival.  We’ll deck the halls, put up a tree and hang the ornaments. All you have to do is open the door and walk into your ready-made holiday home away from home. Then, open your cottage doors out onto their charming coastal decks and outside oases!
