Amazing and relaxing

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: This home was perfect for my family’s spring break getaway. Even when the weather was chilly the heated pool was still perfect to swim in. It was my wife’s birthday and Tammy was amazing and very much so tentative with whatever we needed. I would love to stay in this same home on our next vacation to Tybee Island.

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: It was a wonderful experience, but that's no different from every other stay with the Mermaids. They never fail to tend to every detail and will check with you to make sure no needs remain. They are always so kind and welcoming. This trip was made even more special for me by them leaving a sweet card and gift to celebrate my retirement. We have stayed in at least 5 of their properties and each one has its own unique style and charm. We will certainly continue checking different cottages off of our "must-stay" list.

Perfect getaway

We had the best time at Ms. opals. It was so cute, quaint and relaxing, but Close enough to Walk to everything. We loved playing scrabble poolside and swimming in the heated pool. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were all super comfy. It was exactly what we were looking for and they had thought of every detail to compete our stay. The property manger was so helpful and accommodating with every detail. We will definitely be back and would recommend for anyone looking for a Tybee Island getaway. We loved it!
