Tybee Island beaches are NOT pet-friendly.
However, many restaurants and shops on Tybee love to welcome pets.
Giving Back
We believe very strongly in giving back. There are several ways we give back to the animal community. We support local and regional animal rescue groups including fostering, both financially and through volunteering. Many mermaids on our team take part in foster and adoption programs as well as volunteer at special events for these rescue groups. Part of our proceeds from every rental go to our annual sponsorship of Southeastern Guide Dogs, The Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind, and non-profit organizations, One Love Animal Rescue, Islands Feral Cat Project, Labrador Retriever Rescue, and Tattered Paws.
Southeastern Guide Dogs’ Puppy Sponsorship Program
Your stay with Mermaid Cottages will continue the efforts to support Southeastern Guide Dogs’ Puppy Sponsorship Program, which make it possible for disabled individuals to realize their independence through the use of a service dog. These programs also assist returning soldiers with a variety of needs including post-traumatic stress disorder.
The Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind
Your stay with Mermaid Cottages will also support The Guide Dog Foundation For the Blind. Since 1946, the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind, Inc. has provided guide dogs free of charge to blind people who seek enhanced mobility and independence.

Tattered Paws And Golden Hearts Rescue A Golden Retriever Rescue
Tattered Paws and Golden Hearts Rescue was formed early in 2018 when its founder realized that there was an immense need for additional awareness and support for dogs in need of medical attention, safety, foster homes, adoption, transportation, flight buddies, and financial support. Animals across the U.S. are being euthanized at an alarming rate. Additionally, animals globally are not being protected or given the safety they need, often times facing life in horrific and deplorable conditions and that is where Tattered Paws and Golden Hearts Rescue comes in to provide assistance. We believe that rescuing has no borders therefore we rescue within our country, as well as globally.
