Management
Received a phone call from the manager telling us her worker drove by and told her we “had a bunch of people at the house”. Really? House sleeps 8 and we had 7. Strike 1. Then we discover that for a house that sleeps 8 (4 bedrooms) there is only 2 parking spaces. So one of our cars has to park on the grass. The manager told us we might get a ticket. Strike 2. They need to provide parking tags for the cars is this is an issue. She said they couldn’t afford them because they were 300 a year. Seriously?! A small price to pay for making sure your guests don’t get a ticket. I will never use Mermaid Cottages again.

Vitamin Sea Tybee Island Visit
Overall, our family really enjoyed the visit at Vitamin Sea. The house has enough space for all of us. A few items that we mentioned to the management company was the dishwasher wasn’t working snd we found mouse droppings in the kitchen, which we had to clean up

Amazing!!
We had such a wonderful time at this property! It was clean, spacious, bright, and everything we hoped for. It is in a safe walkable area that is a super short walk to the beach. We had such a wonderful experience with the property manager and the cleaning crew. They were great at communicating promptly, accommodating our needs, and being flexible with us. I could not recommend this property enough if you are coming to the area!!

Family stay
Mermaid is a pleasure to deal with for property. Great customer service! Property is just like picture and description!!!! Property is in great location and was spacious for our family and everyone was comfortable. Property was well equipped with everything you need for a stay. Family had a great time! We had an issue with ice maker (didnt work) and the mermaids brought us ice within an hour:) Only recommendation would be to update a bit (sheets , towels )and move furniture on deck out of the line of rain. If it rains and it it did on us can’t use deck (which is amazing wrapping around house) as it gets soaked.

We were close to everything-the bay, the beach, shopping restaurants. Loved being able to walk everywhere. The house itself was big enough for our party of seven. The neighborhood was quiet and we sat out on the porches more than inside!

Vitamin Sea - just what the Dr ordered
We chose Vitamin Sea because of the location on the island and the 4 bedrooms. We were in town for our son’s wedding and this was the perfect house for needs. The house was very clean. Loved the views from the kitchen/ family room. The property manager was in contact with us after we arrived and also arranged for an extra day when one of our guests woke up sick on the morning of our original departure. Great stay!

Great house in a great location!
We had a group of 5 adult friends wanting a relaxing weekend on the beach while being close enough to get into the city...and we got it! The home is great, very clean, all the amenities you could want, and great communication from the property manager. Will definitely keep this on the list for the future.
