This was the perfect place! Just a 10 min walk to the beach and restaurants. Host was amazing and checked on us occasionally. Will definitely stay here again!
Great place that allowed us to walk to the beach on both sides of the island, meals and ice cream shops. The property manager was very proactive with communication. We would definitely stay with them again!

Very very nice stay!
We really enjoyed our stay at Canteloupe Cottage. The property was very nice on a pleasant, quiet road. We were walking/biking distance from the Chatham Rd beach access point, and several other inlet access points. We had a lot of fun.

Family friendly, clean, convenient
Very impressed with our stay. The cottage matched the beach vibe and was the cleanest place I have ever stayed. Tammy was awesome and a pleasure to talk to. The yard was great and we sat out at back patio every day and enjoyed morning coffee. We visit Savanna often and will stay with Mermaid Cottages again.

The Mermaids were very accommodating. On the spot!
Perfect cottage for our family get away. Plenty of space for 4 adults and our 2 dogs to enjoy and relax. We really enjoy paddle boarding, fishing and playing in the waves. Just a short walk and we could do everything. My dogs loved the secure backyard . The island is so clean and walker friendly. Would highly recommend.

The cottage was great - very well equipped and comfortable. It's super cute with a ton of mermaid touches. It's in a quiet part of Tybee without a ton of traffic, but close enough to the action to be convenient. We had a lovely stay.

Reviewer Comments:
The cottage is perfectly located on the back bay and everything was exception. The place was immaculate Mermaid Cottages were so accommodating. Loved being able to walk to Aj's and the beach access on the back bay. Old school cottage, so cute.
House was two blocks from the beach and four blocks from shops, and clean (except for the coffee pot). Manager was responsive and friendly, as always. A little trouble getting into the home as the screen door was latched from the inside. The area was quiet and safe.
This house was perfect for us. The fenced in yard was a huge plus as we were traveling with pets. They were able to burn off some energy in the yard. The house was exactly as the pictures showed and how the listing was described. The location was good too. Walking distance to the beaches and main downtown area. We also took advantage of the short drive to Savannah for some tours and food. This house was a great home away from home and we’d recommend it to anyone traveling with kids and pets. Thanks!

We had an excellent stay and Tammy at Mermaid Rentals was wonderful! She could not have been more helpful- sharing community activities during our stay, making recommendations and even extending our stay! We would definitely rent from the company again! The house was very quaint and convenient! Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Our three night stay at the Cantaloupe Cottage was seamless- excellent management company and easy check in/out. Very happy with the property, the beds, the location. The only thing was the shower/tub drained VERY slowly. Other than this, it was fantastic!

We have rented from Mermaids many times, but this was our first time staying at Cantaloupe Cottage. We absolutely loved it. We have never stayed near the back river before and wanted to try it. We will definitely be back. The house was perfect for us and our 4-legged babies. We will be back!
House is comfortable if a bit shabby (could use some TLC) but in a great locale. Quiet, bedroom neighborhood along Tybee Creek with 3 beach access points including one small pier, within easy walking distance. It was great swimming in the calmer waters along the Tybee Creek side of the island and not getting pounded by the surf. Wonderful beach combing. Easy walk to big pier, the pavillion and The Breakfast Club, etc. At the house, beds were comfotrtable and everything worked. Tons to do in and around Tybee and Savannah without having to go far. We had a great 5 days there and brought along our doggo. Would rent again.

Cantaloupe Cottage is a lovely beach house! Beds and seating are comfortable, AC works great, and real art on every wall (not Hobby Lobby stock cheesy art). Haint Blue at every entrance. Only 2 blocks from Back River Beach, so quiet for relaxing, fishing, watching birds. Only half a mile to the strip on Tybrisa St and more ocean access! I loved being able to take a short little walk to my choice of beach. Overall, having this lovely beach home to stay in really made our trip memorable. The Mermaid Cottages staff were helpful but not intrusive. Just a couple of texts to make sure everything was good. (It was great) Check in/ Checkout was easy. Highly recommend, and we will definitely use Mermaid Cottages again!

This house is clean inside but really needs some work. Windows are dirty, outside appeal is awful, the walls are white but it needs painting as the walls look dirty. The island itself was very nice. Quiet and not much traffic at all so great for biking or walking.
