How’s Your Penmanship?

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

…and I’m gonna write it on a Mermaid Cottages Note Card  from the new collection by the fabulous Fifi Flowers!  There’s the new cottage collection and the always wonderful pet collection and Fifi’s wonderful, whimsical calendars to mark off the days until your next visit to Mermaid Cottages and Tybee Island. …

Tis The Season To Buy American!

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

How many times do you automatically pick up a product and purchase it without reading where it’s produced and without knowing whether it helps support the American economy and American workers?  It’s not always easy, but it’s a good habit we should all practice when we can.

This year Mermaid Cottages wants to spotlight products and services created and produced here and we want to encourage everyone to take the time to look closer at purchases we all make.  We’ll be sharing our favorite Made In America goods and we hope you will, too.  When you find great products you’d like to help promote please share them with us on our Facebook page, on Twitter and with comments on our blogs.

Each of us has the power to affect change and to take an active part in creating jobs and stimulating the economy.  We’ll start the ball rolling by announcing that Mermaid Cottages is offering Gift Certificates for stays in our cozy cottages and historic homes.  You can purchase Mermaid Cottages Gift Certificates in any denomination or you can design your own Gift Certificate for an entire stay.  We can even help you with Gift Certificates for specific cottages!  And, don’t forget you can even purchase our world famous Mermaid Cottages Morning Bliss Coffee, our all natural Beach Bum Biscuits Dog Treats, our Note Cards and Calendars created by celebrated artist Fifi Flowers and how about our new J-Prons!

Making a Difference, Mermaid Style!

Welcome to Tybee Island!

Mermaid Cottages has the coziest homes away from home in Tybee Island and Savannah, it’s true. But we’re more than vacation rentals; we’re part of a community. That’s why we are active with the local island community, including helping people and local organizations we believe in and love. That’s what our project, Mermaids Make a Difference, is all about! We invite you to jump right in and volunteer during your visit. Of course, we’d like for you to get involved if even just for the day as well!

Beach Sweep September 2011

We love giving back to our community and want to share every opportunity we know about with you! If you are looking for ways to be more involved, whether it’s during your vacation or just for the day, make sure to check out the Community tab on our website.  It’s a little thing we like to call Voluntourism on Tybee, and we’d love for you to join us in giving a little back! We have a list full of fabulous ways to get in there and give back. There are loads of upcoming events listed for you to choose from, like The Journey to Peace Walk to benefit the SAFE Shelter of Savannah on October 22nd, and The PurpleStride Savannah 5K to raise awareness and funds to fight Pancreatic Cancer November 12th, just to name a few. We also have Beach Sweeps planned on a regular basis, so there’s something for everyone to enjoy! You can even show off your Mermaid pride with a tee shirt from Seaside Sisters, where there are loads of other Mermaid Cottages goodies as well. Goodies that help you give back with each purchase!

Just by staying with Mermaid Cottages you are giving back! Your stay helps us support Tybee’s Sea Turtles and the guide dogs we sponsor each year!

Mermaid Cottages loves Tybee Island, and we know you do, too! We encourage you to take a little time during your visit to Tybee and join us in giving back to the community we hold so dear. We hope to see y’all real soon!
