Mermaid Sighting: Tybee Island Mermaids!

Mermaids are everywhere this summer! This week’s sighting, like last week, is a multiple! Deanna, a local mermaid-lover right here in Savannah, was spending the day on Tybee Island recently and snapped these pictures of three lovely mermaids. These fabulous maidens all make their home in Tybee’s own Atlantic Beacon Gallery, right on Butler Avenue. How exciting…getting a mermaid sighting from our own back yard!

Aren't they fabulous? So sassy!

Mermaids aren’t the only thing you can find in the Atlantic Beacon Gallery, you know. The gallery is chock-full of wonderful local and regional art, so make sure to visit next time you are on the island. It is definitely a must-see! You can even follow them on their Official Facebook page, so make sure to check them out there too! Thank you so much for sending in your sightings Deanna, we love them all!

Have you seen a mermaid? They seem to be just about everywhere! If you have a sighting, please share it with us. We’d love to see it and share it with our readers! Please send your sightings to diane@mermaidcottages.com. We can’t wait to hear from you soon!

The mission of The Send and Mend Experiment is to use something as simple as a greeting card to change as many lives and heal as many hearts as possible! There isn’t really a better reason that that, now is there?

Hershey Kisses!

It’s always a great honor and a great pleasure when our Mermaids Make a Difference on Tybee Island and we’re proud to share that our individual cottages owners also do their part to make a difference and promote socially responsible getaways.

For those of you that have already had the pleasure of staying atPaws and Paddles Cottage you know the owners really invested lots of time and money and love when preparing their cottage to join our vintage collection of vacation rentals.  From the beginning they made it a point to make Paws and Paddles a pet friendly cottage…even though they did not have a pet of their own at the time.

Somewhere in the back of their minds though was the lingering notion that a chocolate, standard poodle sure would be a great addition to their family.  One day, just by chance, a very interesting adoption ad appeared in their local newspaper.  What harm could there be in a little meet and greet?  Why none, of course!

We are proud to introduce Hershey, a seven year old chocolate, standard poodle and new mascot for Paws and Paddles!

Isn’t he gorgeous?  You probably think Hershey is a lucky young lad.  For anyone that has ever rescued or adopted a pet you soon find out you’re the lucky one.  Somehow, rescued and adopted pets seem to know you’ve done a good thing and they rescue you right back.   Hershey has found his forever home and he’ll soon be visiting Tybee Island and Paws and Paddles.

To keep up with all the fun and laughter of these special, socially responsible cottage owners you can follow their adventures on their Cottage Crazy blog and their Paws and Paddles Facebook page.

Our cottage owners invite you to enjoy a socially responsible vacation at Paws and Paddles.  If you haven’t already, invite a rescued and/or adoptable pet to join your family!  You can  make a difference, too!
