Beach Bum Biscuits: EASTER Reminds Us To Give Thanks

 

 

Today will be filled with lots of wonderful food, love and laughter and the renewal of time honored traditions we wish to pass on to our families and friends.  One tradition at Mermaid Cottages we will always honor is the opportunity to serve, to give back, to celebrate and to carry on.

Thank you to everyone who helps us sponsor puppies to be trained as Guide Dogs and Service Dogs for persons with disabilities.  By staying with Mermaid Cottages and promoting Beach Bum Biscuits you help continue this tradition.  Our own Berkeley Springs recently graduated from Guide Dog School and is now paired with his Forever Friend.  They’ll have a beautiful journey together and for that we are grateful and thankful and proud!

BBB Dog Tales: Easter Visits We Love

One of the best things about a holiday is when we get to see and spend time with those we love…and that includes our Pawsome Pals!

We love it when we get to meet all of our guests and we especially enjoy meeting new members of our pet community.  Be sure to post your pet pics on our Facebook pages and we’ll proudly display them!

Happy Easter, Y’all!

Cottage Cheese: A Hammock, A Swing and a Shadetree

As the old saying goes, “Sometimes, I sit and think and sometimes, I just sit.”

Either way, I’m here to tell you there are three very important things needed to get the job done.  A Hammock, A Swing and a Shadetree.  I mean come on!  If there’s a job to do work smarter, not harder!  Lucky for me and for you there’s a new vintage cottage that’s being added to the Mermaid Cottages collection.  I’ll get a lot of sitting done here and I won’t even have to think too much about where to do it!

Jones Shade

Help Us Name that Cottage!

It’s that time again! We have a new cottage in our family here at Mermaid Cottages, and we need your help giving it a name! This contest will work the same as our last one, with a poll over on our Mermaid Cottages Facebook Page. Remember, you can’t vote here! If you want your vote to count, you have to cast it in the Facebook Poll! We already have the names to choose from, we just need your help picking the best one!

It might be a little easier for you to choose a name if you know more about the cottage…so here’s a little background! This lovely home was built in 1942 and is now owned by the daughter of the previous owner, distinguished sculptor Weis Cain Snell of Atlanta. Mr. Snell worked with muesums all over, including Atlanta Cyclorama, and he actually helped design and create Tybee’s own museum!

Our new cottage is located at 1012 Jone Avenue, only a four block stroll to the beach! The home has been fully restored and freshly decorated, and it will be available for guests starting Memorial Day weekend. The cottage has two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, a beautiful screened porch, and is pet friendly! You and your pet will enjoy the fenced back yard, complete with a hammock under palm trees. Just look at these wonderful pictures!

Now, if you are interested in planning a trip to this cottage, please call 912-655-6525 or email me at diane@mermaidcottages.com! But remember, we have to name this beauty! The list of names to think about is:

  • Little Acorn Cottage
  • Shady Oak Cottage
  • Made in the Shade
  • Shady Acres

Remember, don’t vote here… Click HERE to head on over to the official Facebook Poll to cast your vote for your favorite name! The poll will close and the contest will end Monday, April 25th, at 6 p.m. so make sure you vote before then! We can’t wait to see which name comes out on top!

Mermaids in Our Midst: Linda Bray

Today, I want to send a big Thank You out to our fellow Mermaid, Linda Bray. Linda has been with us at Mermaid Cottages for three years and she has really become part of our family. She has been been a huge help in just about every facet of the business, from cleaning to social media, and we appreciate everything she does! She has also worked over at our favorite coastal shop, Seaside Sisters, and we loved seeing her smiling face there when we walked in.

Linda is leaving us this week to move to Florida to be closer to her family there. Linda, we love you so much and will miss your cheerful, witty ways and smiling face! Good luck to you and remember, Tybee is always here, so come back for a visit sometime!
