House was so cute with amazing history. The hosts could not have been more accommodating. They even turned the porch lights on for us when they learned we would arrive after dark! Highly recommend Mermaid Cottages and this house. We walked everywhere and others staying in the neighborhood were all friendly and respectful. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dogs. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely Historic Cottage

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: My stay in the Enlisted Men’s Mess Hall came at a wonderful time to be away from my frozen home in TN. As a retired history teacher I enjoyed staying in a home so rich with history. It was fun to imagine the many soldiers who were fed within its walls when Ft. Screven was an active Army post. The interior of the home has been beautifully refurbished with a gorgeous screened in porch wrapping around the outside. I love to stay on the north end of Tybee. This cottage was an easy walk to the park, the beach, and the Tybee Light. I have already reserved a time to return next year.
