A little place of heaven on earth is Mermaid Cottages on Tybee Island in Georgia. A perfect home away from home is all of their cottages. Today I am featuring Mermaid Manor Cottage. A fully renovated historic cottage decorated mermaid beach style with local art and vintage treasures.
The cottage has charm and decorating style in every nook and cranny. To begin with, the picket fence in the yard was custom-made and has a mermaid sign hanging on it hand-carved by a local artist.
Mermaid Manor circa 1935 is a vacation rental cottage that has room for sleeping 8, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. It is in the historic Back River District and is in easy walking distance to the Kayak Launch area, Fisherman’s Walk Fishing Pier, the beach, restaurants. and shopping. The kitchen is fully stocked with food basics and any appliance you may need if you want to eat-in after a long fun-filled day on Tybee Island.
