Leave a Comment / Mermaid's Friends and Family /

We can never say enough just how much we love our guests here at Mermaid Cottages! Each and every one of you are a treasure we never take for granted. I mean, if it wasn’t for y’all, where would be? So, when we are lucky enough to receive notes, comments, emails, and reviews about a fabulous stay, we enjoy spreading the joy! We consider each of you- past, present or future guests- part of our extended Mermaid family, and that is why we like to feature our guests each week here on the Mermaids in Our Midst posts.

If you have stayed with us, be it recently or not-so-recently, we love hearing from you! You can always email your thoughts, stories, and pictures to diane@mermaidcottages.com, or you can join us on Facebook! Come share your pictures and stories on our Mermaid Cottages Facebook page...we even have a Review link under our profile picture where you can share your experience with us and the rest of the Mermaid family. A few of our cottages even have their very own Facebook pages, where you can share pictures, thoughts, and even follow what’s happening here on Tybee. Here’s a list of those pages. Even if you haven’t stayed in a certain cottage (yet!) you can always take a virtual visit before planning a trip of your own!

You, our treasured guests, mean the world to us and no matter how many times we say thank you, it will ever feel like enough! We hope this weekly feature helps with that a little. It’s just one way for us to tell you that every one of you are Mermaids in our Midst and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

Live Like a Local: 7th Annual Tybee Turtle Trot

Leave a Comment / Live Like a Local /

This Saturday, April 30th, is the 7th Annual Tybee Turtle Trot! The Tybee community looks forward to this 5K beach run every year! This amazing race is an annual event to raise funds for the Tybee Sea Turtle Project and is the kick off to Coastal Georgia’s sea turtle nesting season.

Georgia’s sea turtle season runs from May through October, and we do our best here on Tybee to make sure our sea turtles have the best nesting season ever! Sea Turtle Project Volunteers participate in daily dawn patrols to check for nests laid during the night. When a nest is found, the site is evaluated and any nests below the high tide line are carefully relocated. The nests are protected my marking them off, and daily monitoring. Its truly an amazing sight to discover a nest, and even more exciting to see the nest reach it’s boil, when the newly hatched sea turtles emerge from the nest and strike out toward the ocean!

It is so important to do everything we can to help sea turtles have their best chance at life! That’s just one reason we are avid supporters of the Tybee Turtle Trot! Help us help the sea turtles and join us this Saturday at the race! You can register online or even download a form on the race site. It is a $25 registration fee, or just $20 for members of the Tybee Island Marine Science Center. Sign in starts at 7:30 a.m.and the race begins at 8:30 a.m. Just come and watch if running isn’t your thing, because there will also be a sea turtle release by the Georgia Sea Turtle Center around 10 a.m. all right in front of the Marine Science Center! We hope to see you there. Join us and get your trot on!

Mermaid Tales: Tucked Inn at Tybee

1 Comment / Mermaid Tales /

Welcome to 1106 Lovell Avenue and Tucked Inn at Tybee Cottage! The newly named cottage used to be called No Where to Go, but with the wonderful makeover, we felt a new name was in order! We’ve completely re-done the cottage, and the new name was the winning submission of our Mermaid Cottages Facebook Page name contest. We are super excited about the home’s renewal, and couldn’t be more delighted with how beautiful everything turned out!

This home is a classic beach retreat, just perfect for families, a girls weekend, or even a girl scout adventure. Tucked Inn at Tybee sits on a large lot, so there’s plenty of outdoor living to do. Bring your pets too, this home is still Fido friendly!

Grill out, enjoy a book on the back deck, or the shade of the mature palms. Anything goes! You may feel wonderfully secluded, but you aren’t far from Butler Avenue and everything the island has to offer! Take an easy one and a half block stroll to the beach, ride your bike to the local IGA Market for supplies, or visit some of Tybee’s favorite restaurants…you are close to it all!
Need to feel the bliss of slowing down?  Plan a visit and start looking forward to some lazy island days. Island time is all the time on Tybee! See you soon!
