Mermaid Tales

     Every one of our cottages has it’s own personality, and Rose’s Folie is no exception. This little cottage is circa 1936 and just begs you to come in, relax, and enjoy your time at the beach! It’s an easy 10 minute walk to Tybee’s North Beach, and your dog will love relaxing or playing in the peaceful fenced in yard.

     This place is just full of unique touches and fun original art. Even the cottage’s sign was handmade by a very talented artist! Don’t you just love the whimsy of the garden arch?!

     Rose’s Folie sleeps eight very comfortably, with 2 queen beds and 2 singles. The cottage is also close to restaurants and other attractions, like the Tybee Island Lighthouse and Museum!

So, plan a trip to visit Rose’s Folie soon! Slow down, step off the mainland, and enjoy a little Tybee Time.

Sanford’s Place Cottage

     Last week we showed you a sneak peek of our newest addition, Sanford’s Place. Well, now that little cottage is all set for it’s first visitors! From the vintage decor and furniture, to the 1960s television, Sanford’s place is a retro delight!

     The fun of downtown might only be five minutes away, but the cottage is still a quiet place to relax and unwind. Whether you are looking for the downtown beaches or the Back River, they are both a leisurely eight minute stroll from your cottage.

Welcome to Sanford’s Place, the cottage at 1515 2nd Avenue

     We are super excited to be announcing a new addition to our cottage line up! Please help us welcome Sanford’s Place to Mermaid Cottages! This cottage isn’t ready just yet, but we just couldn’t contain our enthusiasm! It’s always a fun and exciting time getting a new cottage ready for our guests.  
     I wanted to share some great “before” shots to whet your appetite! The flurry of decorating has begun over on 2nd Avenue…stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes updates and pictures as we get this cottage ready for it’s first visitors!

     It’s official…football season is here and we are in Georgia, home of the Bulldogs! What in the world does that matter, you ask? Well, one of our cottages shares a special connection to the University of Georgia mascot!

      Joe and Sherry, the owners of Southern Cross Cottage, have shared more than just their beautiful cottage with guests. They love when things have a story to them, as I do, and they let me in on some of the stories attached to this special place!

Southern Cross Cottage

     You see, Sherry’s great grandfather, Charles Black, Sr., attended the University of Georgia from 1894 to 1898. Charlie, as he was called, played football for the college and often brought his bulldog, Trilby, with him to practices. Eventually, Trilby began to attend the football games, where the cheerleaders decked him out with red and black ribbons around his neck. The University of Georgia then had their mascot, and became the Bulldogs!

      Sonny Sieler, the current owner of the beloved mascot Uga, even tells this story in his book “Damn Good Dawgs”…and what a great story!

Come on in and relax!

     That’s just one of the many wonderful tales Southern Cross Cottage has to share, so why not plan a visit? Explore a little Georgia history while you enjoy a piece of Georgia paradise!
