How’s Your Penmanship?

I’m gonna sit right down and write myself a letter…and pretend that it came from you…

Are There Mermaids In Scotland?

Are there Mermaids in Scotland?

You bet! We have the photographs to prove it!

Our wonderful Mermaid Melissa and Mermaid Judy and their mermen recently took a trip of a lifetime from our little hamlet by the sea all the way to the United Kingdom where they made their way through Scotland to Loch Ness and to Invergarry Castle.  Wherever they went they were admired, but was it for their obvious beauty or was because of what they were wearing?   Hmmm.

Now you can sport our signature Mermaid Tees, too.  Of course, we hope you’ll come visit soon and pick one up (or more) while you’re here, but if you can’t wait just get yours from Seaside Sisters!

Home For The Holidays!

Have you ever stopped to check where some of the products you purchase are actually manufactured?

This year, Mermaid Cottages would like to spotlight products and services created and produced here in America.  And, with the 2nd Annual Support Small Business Day approaching on November 26th,  we would especially like to encourage support of America’s small businesses.  Each of us has the power to affect change and take an active part in creating jobs and stimulating our economy.  If everyone pledged to “shop small” and made just one purchase from any of America’s small businesses, the impact would be huge!  Support of America’s small businesses boosts local economy and helps preserve neighborhoods.  So, MADE IN AMERICA and SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS are our mottos for this holiday season.  And, what better way to spend the holidays than a “Mermaid Cottages for the holidays” vacation?  An opportunity to support both MADE IN AMERICA and one of America’s small businesses; an all-American holiday celebration on historic Tybee IslandTybee Island is home to a host of small businesses including Mermaid Cottages. …

Serving With Honor, A Soldier’s Story

Mermaid Cottages is proud and honored to welcome Mary Sue and Gerry to Tybee Island for Beach Retreats For HeroesMermaid Jan shared this loving exchange from Mary Sue.

Hi Jan,

This is Mary Sue and I just spoke with you on the phone.

My husband is Gerry  and he is a Staff Sergeant with the 165th
Air National Guard here in Savannah. He is a member of their Security
Forces Squadron and recently deployed with his unit to Afghanistan for 6
months. Prior to this service in the National Guard, Gerry was a member of
the US Army and served as a Military Policeman and criminal investigator
and was stationed in Korea.

While in Afghanistan, Gerry volunteered with a special group of airmen and soldiers who routinely went “outside the wire” on missions to ensure that the perimeter surrounding Bagram Air Base was secure.  Also during his tenure in Afghanistan, Gerry missed out on seeing me graduate from law school, and his faithful and loving bulldog of seven years was put to sleep.

Needless to say, his time spent serving his country in Afghanistan was tough. I’m so proud of him and proud to be a member of his family.

I can’t get over how wonderful it is
of your organization to do something like this for our vets!

Thank you,

Mary Sue

We are so happy to welcome Mary Sue and Gerry to Heron Hideaway this weekend.  Thank you both for your service, your commitment and support to each other and for inspiring us to make a difference.

You can make a difference, too.

Support our troops.

Be Thankful.

Say Thank You.
