Are You Coming To Our Next Beach Sweep?

Leave a Comment / Mermaids Make a Difference /

The Tybee Beautification Association is sponsoring the next Beach Sweep this Saturday, September 24, 2011!

Meet us at the Tybee Pavilion between 9:30-10 AM to get your trash bags, gloves and trash grabbers and let’s run the trash out of town!

The Tybee Beautification Association regularly schedules Adopt-A-Highway and Beach Sweeps on Tybee Island.  Remembering ways we can individually help keep our beautiful island tidy on a day to day basis helps, too!  We can all be diligent about placing our trash  in proper receptacles, clean up behind ourselves and our pets, and even use disposable containers and bags when possible to reduce waste.

Keeping our island neat and clean isn’t just important to us, but for all of our wonderful wildlife and beach ecology, too.  Thanks for helping our island stay pristine and beautiful!   Keep Tybee Tidy!

What A Day For A Daydream

WHEW!

The summer heat has been visiting and then a tropical storm to beat the band rolled through during the night!

It’s going to be an absolutely beautiful day today on Tybee Island and a day to give thanks.

We have teachers and educators enjoying a much deserved break before heading back to the classroom to begin a new school year full of promise for students eager to learn and plan their futures.

We have members of our military on the island,  including those currently serving and those that are veterans of past service.

We have newlyweds and lovebirds enjoying quiet getaways and romantic adventures.

We have new families and those with two and three generations vacationing together.

We have our year round residents that work very hard and take pride in preserving and sharing the wonderful beach ecology of our barrier island.

And, best of all, we have Mermaids and Mermen who do their best to keep it all running and who create the magic behind the scenes that make our paradise even more special.

What a day for a daydream!  Remember to do something special for someone you meet today.

For inspiration, tour our wonderful Brooks Cottage!

Toss up a few curds of your own.  Make magic happen in your own whey. Share a heaping helping of your Cottage Cheese!

Hershey Kisses!

Leave a Comment / Service Dogs (Beach Bum Biscuits) /

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!
