This quirky and charming home was the perfect beach getaway for us. A short walk to the beach, lighthouse and science center was perfect for us.

Perfect Home Away From Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at the Enlisted Men's Mess Hall on Tybee Island in August. What a perfect slice of history! From the host/property manager checking in a few weeks before our stay to the day of our arrival and even to double check after a few days that all was well, the communication was exactly what was needed and appreciated. The screened in porch is perfect for sipping morning tea or afternoon drinks. The house was so well kept, decorated and comfortable. The three of us had plenty of room to relax. The cleanliness was exceptional. Parking was right outside the front door. Everything in the house was in perfect working order. And the beach is right there, with a quick walk through the officers row. The beach location was great and not heavily crowded, we had the beach mostly to ourselves the whole week. Oh and a surprise was the local VFW had Bingo Friday nights, literally two minutes walk from the house. Couldn't have asked for a better location and home to stay in for a much needed vacation. Thank you Mermaid Cottages we will be back!

Perfect Spot for a Tybee Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Enlisted Men's Mess Hall! The location was very convenient to the beach and to other things on Tybee Island as well. The cottage was cute and well appointed and the property owners were available as needed. We would definitely stay here again!

Gorgeous cottage

We absolutely loved our stay at the Mess Hall Cottage. The kitchen was well equipped, the porch was a lovely place to spend our non-beach time and the beach was just a short walk away. We would definitely stay here again.

Always wonderful

We have stayed at Screened Inn numerous times, and we can't imagine staying anywhere else when we visit Tybee. We also feel that the mermaids are hands down the best property management group that we've ever encountered. We'll be back as soon as possible!

Tybee Island vacation

Stayed here for a few days with my husband, our friends and their dog. The place was perfect for two couples or a couple with a few kids. The fenced in yard was excellent for the dog too! We spent most of our time on the delightful screened in porch watching life go by on the Island. Clean, cute and cleverly decorated. Easy walk to the beach through the secret gate. I would definitely come back and stay here again.
