Mermaids in Our Midst: Jessica from New Mexico

Nothing makes us happier than hearing from you, our cherished guests. We had the best summer ever, and we can’t wait to see what autumn brings here on Tybee. We were so excited to read this lovely letter from Jessica, who recently visited our Crabby Jo’s Cottage all the way from New Mexico!

“We loved everything about Crabby Jo’s! The bedrooms were a bit small but that wasn’t a problem. There were three adults, one teenager, and two small children in our party (with numerous visitors during the day) and we all fit just fine. The extra showers downstairs were perfect for hosing off before venturing in after a day at the beach. While not “baby proofed” I felt comfortable letting my kids (age 3 and 11 months) wander freely about the home – it was very clean and well-kept. The beach, just steps away, was a dream – We even saw baby turtle tracks! The rest of Tybee Island was wonderful as well – we ate a number of local restaurants, visited numerous shops, hung out at the pier, and even purchased some kitschy art to bring back home to New Mexico (it’s a giant fish made out of scrap metal and an old boogie board!). We drove nearly 27 hours to visit Tybee (with two wee ones in the car) and I’d do it all over again. And I’d definitely stay at Crabby Jo’s again. Thank you for sharing your home with us!”

Thank you so much for sharing Jessica! We are overjoyed to hear that your time on Tybee Island was well spent! Twenty-seven hours is quite a trip, but we hope you can make it back real soon!

You can’t contact us by email at diane@mermaidcottages.com, or even leave your review on our Mermaid Cottages Facebook Page! Hearing from you, our Mermaid Family, just makes our day and we can’t wait to hear from you soon!

Memories of September 11th

Recently, Mermaid Cottages was lucky enough to have Amelia and her lovely daughter Anneka  stay with us at Inlet Breeze Cottage. We’ll let this very special blog post from Christine of Christine Hall Photography in Savannah tell the story…

September 11

originally posted Monday, September 12, 2011

“I do not think I will forget what I did on the tenth anniversary of 9/11. It is easy to detach when you do not know anyone who has died fighting for our country, but the longer it goes on the more and more real it becomes. I photographed this mother and daughter yesterday who lost their husband/father in November of last year and I really wanted to hug her and thank her husband for fighting for our country. Actually, I did hug her at the end, but it is really special and emotional to take these photos for them.”
Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos with us Christine!

Christine, thank you so much for allowing us to share your touching September 11th memories and beautiful photographs. And our hearts and thanks go out to Amelia and Anneka. Thank you so much for you bravery and for the service of your beloved husband and father. It is so very true, freedom isn’t free. Thank you for your courage and sacrifices and God Bless you both.

Screened Inn Bliss on Tybee Island

We love hearing from you, our cherished guests! It really makes us smile to hear about your stay with us at Mermaid Cottages. Like this review from Michelle from Lawrenceville, GA, a recent guest to Screened Inn Cottage:

“I could only get away from work for a few days. I was taking my mother and traveling with teenagers too, so I was not too sure how this trip would go. Between shopping, the lighthouse, bike rides on the beach, and a quick trolley tour of Savannah, we were all able to find things to do that we enjoyed. The best part for me was coming back to the Screened Inn each day sitting on the porch, the hammock, or at the lovely kitchen table and feeling so relaxed and at home.”

Thank you for sharing Michelle!  We are so glad Screened Inn could be your restful haven, even if just for a few days! Don’t be a stranger, y’all come back to Tybee real soon!
