Very nice having a block to the beach and two blocks to the back river Cute little place. Parking a little tight. As always Mermaid Cottages made our vacation that much more special.
The vibe was eclectic and fun in this house. Wonderful location. Easy and quick walk to the beach. Great communication with host. Loved spinning records and spending time on the porch. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen had all we needed.

Clamdigger is the best. The vintage furniture and art in the house adds to a calm and comforting environment. The downstairs room was perfect for my newlywed nephew and niece in law. Totally wel-appointed kitchen, and plenty of visiting rooms. The outside porch was where we stayed for most of the stay. Pet Friendly. I will come back!

Loved everything about this beach home, everything was as advertised. We enjoyed the different living areas inside and out, big kitchen with good appliances and supplies, really comfortable beds, spacious bathrooms. Located within walking or short drive to 3 beach access points, perfect for getting our elderly family member to the south end for surf fishing. Should also mention the artistic decor, interesting collection of board games, and the privacy of the ground floor suite. We enjoyed being on a quiet side street tucked away from the noise of the pier area which was close by.

We had the most amazing time at Clamdigger! Everything was very clean, beds were very comfortable and the location was perfect! We loved our short walk to Back River Beach and had the whole beach to ourselves! The screened in deck was so peaceful and we loved spending evenings on it. Our children loved dancing in the living room to music from the record player daily! The house had everything we needed and more! This was our second time using Mermaid Cottages on Tybee and we will absolutely be using them again if or future trips! Thank you for a mermazing stay!

The home is in a great location, 2 blocks south of the the main restaurant/bar district and thus out of the traffic, an easy short walk to the beach, with ample room to park 3 cars. Plenty of hang out space on the main level, nice porches, large kitchen, and roomy/quiet separate suite in the basement. The owner supplied many items (coffee maker, blender, etc.) not normally found in a rental. Great having the washer/dryer onsite. The unit was clean, and both the owner and property management company were very proactive with customer service and touching base to make sure everything was good. We have rented other places nearby, and this home was much better in all aspects. We had 5 adults, and there was plenty of room for all of us.

This was a really nice getaway weekend with friends. The cottage has a separate downstairs bedroom with a nice shower. Upstairs has 2 bedrooms that share a bath - it's an old style clawfoot tub, so a little awkward to shower in but it works. Fantastic screened porch, and a couple of living room areas - we had plenty of room to spread out and relax. Walkable to the beach, restaurants, shopping, etc. We rented bikes (shout out to Tim's bike rental, they are fantastic, and they deliver bikes to you), and never used the car the whole trip. Thank you, Mermaids! Can't wait to come back.

Perfect location for beach access and short walk to shops and food.House was clean/beds we’re comfortable/kitchen was well stocked perfect for us.
Great house in the perfect location. It felt like home away from home and the whole process was the best I have had renting a each house in years! I would recommend this place to anyone heading to the area.
Very close to beach and pier. Renting a golf cart made it a lot easier to get around on the island. Tammy with Mermaid Cottages was absolutely amazing to work with.
We had a wonderful time at Clamdigger. The house was just we needed. My husband and our 2 boys (9/12) stayed upstairs and our in-laws loved the apartment downstairs. We lived on the front porch from coffee to cocktails. We walked all through the neighborhoods and into town. The beach and river were close so no need to get in the car. The house vibe we perfect retro vacation vibes. Can’t wait to come back.
Great property. Not far to walk to the beach. Parking was very tight and difficult to get in an out with a full size truck. This was the only downside. We enjoyed our stay!
