| We had a fantastic time getting away for the weekend. We were able to walk everywhere, even to get groceries, only used the car once during our stay. The house was the perfect size for us (clean & cute), the yard & porch were great for relaxing, the kids loved riding their bikes on the traffic-free streets. Tybee is heaven on earth! |

| The Surf Puppy was a great get away for ourselves as well as our dogs. The neighbor behind the house is a tad bit grumpy, but we did not let him take away from our Tybee experience. |

Cute House and Wonderful Service |

| My husband and I were looking for a relaxing getaway with the dogs and found it. The location was great and the staff was exceptional. We love to travel and have never experienced such friendly and caring staff at any hotel or resort. The yard was great for our dogs and the house was very well stocked. We wouldn't recommend this particular cottage for a large family because it is small. However, we found the descriptions on the website were accurate so find the cottage best fitting your needs. The decor was great. Who doesn't love a true Tybee house? We will make a return visit soon and tell everyone we know going to Tybee to stay with Mermaid Cottages. You guys are the best!!! Thanks again!!! |

| What a wonderful time we had on our vacation in Tybee. The cottage was perfect and we were lucky enough to visit and meet the ladies at Seaside Sisters and see some of Jane Coslicks stuff. The cottage made me feel like I was at a home away from home and its was just a hop, skip and a jump from the beach as promised. We rented bikes from Tims Beach Gear and we were very impressed on the overall pleasant and friendly atmosphere of the Tybee residents. Tybee is definitely not a cliche tourist trap more like a paradise away from the hustle and bustle of city life. I would recommend a visit here if you want a very relaxing vacation. The people at Mermaid cottages helped me tremendously while I booked the reservation (thanks Diane) and also helped us while we were there. Our family will be back to Tybee and we will defintely be booking with Mermaid Cottages. |

Loved staying at the Surf Puppy. The location was perfect - walking distance to the
beach as well as restaurants and shopping. The house is private and the outdoor shower with hot water was great! The yard was big enough for my dogs. I will be staying here again! |

Relax at the beach |

| Surf Puppy is a great cottage. This was the first time we had spent any time at the beach not in a hotel. My kids cannot wait to go back next year. It was two blocks from the beach. It was an easy walk my five year old did it with no complants. It has a nice fenced in yard. The kids could safely play in. We also rented bikes. Which was fun for the whole family. It was very nice and relaxing. The best part was the outside shower and washer and dryer. We never brought sand in the house and had fresh beach towels every day. |

| We spent a fun week at the Surf Puppy. It was just as we thought it would be. Charming, eclectic and very laid back. The outdoor shower was great after coming in from the beach. The area was great for walking and viewing the other cool beach cottages. We felt comfortable and Poncho ( our dog ) loved the yard ! The staff at Mermaid was very helpful. As soon as we arrived , we locked the keys in the house and they had someone there in five minutes. Great cottage. |

Nice little cottage, close to the beach and central to stores and restaurants. We really liked the outdoor shower and the downtime from everyday life. We enjoyed our time on the Island and are looking to make a return trip. We visited some of the attractions but left some for our next visit. We loved watching the sunrise and the Dolphins in the morning.
This is the place to come and relax with your loved one(s). Plenty of activity on the weekends and laid back during the week. The people are friendly.

Pros: Not a bad walk to the beach and pier. Good location to bicycle. Great fenced pet-yard! Hot/Cold outdoor shower! Interesting locally-generated art. Secluded porch. Washer and Dryer (see cons).
Cons: Tiny bathroom nook. Odd layout of bedroom to bathroom. Needs better cleaning before check-in (dead bugs, grime on floor). Odd furniture and should be better suited for regular cleaning. No scenic view. Clothes washer and dryer cause high heat and humidity in bedroom and sweat-wet floors. No dihwasher. Bedroom furniture beyond "weathered." No closet. Only one sparse sheet set. |

Manager Response: July 01, 2008 |
| As always, we welcome honest feedback from all our guests. Our cottages are "tybee quirky" and we don't profess to be anything other then what we are- the little unique cottages with funny layouts that no one else loved enough to restore- so we did! The cottages are also priced very affordably so everyone can come and enjoy the beach and bring their pets. We are very clearon the website that the cottages do not have a view- again which is why we're able to offer such great prices. Our furniture is "shabby chic" and is a style that not everyone loves- but it's what we love about our cottages. We do appreciate the suggestion about the cleaniess and have addressed this with our housekeepers. thank you again for your comments and feedback! |

| Nice, quaint little house. The layout could be better. Had to walk through the house from bedroom to bathroom. A skillet in the kitchen would be nice. At 6'5" the shower was WAY too small. Other than that, great location and a very peaceful setting. |
