What a wonderful, relaxing experience!
This house was perfect for our weekend girls trip! The corner lot was quiet and cozy. There was plenty of room for everyone and perfect location. We were able to walk to downtown for dinners and the beach was so close and easily accessible! The property manager was very sweet and just a text away! 15/10 will stay again
The house was fantastic with more than enough place for our party of 10 as well as very conveniently located. The kitchen was well stacked with all tools required for a great Thanksgiving dinner. Not to mention Tybee is a charming island that deserves to be discovered.
Finally, thank you to the Mermaids who helped make our stay memorable!

We had a wonderful stay at Whispering Palms. We loved the location and the yard/landscaping was exceptional! I would definitely recommend this place, we were very comfortable. The only recommendation I would make is to have more bath towels available, one per person means doing laundry during the week.

Best customer service from any rental company on the island. We have stayed on the island many times throughout the years and use several of the various different rental companies. We were extremely pleased with the overall cleanliness of the home, and the Customer Sevice provided by mermaid cottages.

We just returned from a family vacation at this location. We had a party of 10 and the house was plenty big for everybody. It has a great outdoor area with a pool and firepit where we spent most of our time. Numerous porches were very cool also. This house is in a great location you can easily walk to the shops, beach, or restaurants. You can see the sunrise on the beach or the sunset on the inlet, it was perfect!

We were a Group Of 5 ladies. Whispering Pines was much better and bigger than we expected. The rooms were very comfortable With amable Space, the Kitchen was well stocked, we especially loved sitting on the patio for our morning coffee. The Neighborhood was Nice and quiet and walking distance to the beach and restaurantes. We all agreed that we definitely come back and with The southern hospitality , it was a win win 💕🙌🏼

First house we stayed at on Tybee for our annual family beach trip, not our first visit thou, 10+ years but at a normal stay at 2 separate condo units, wanted to be under one roof with our group of 13. WHISPERING PALMS was the upmost place for our stay. Vintage/modern feel, totally loaded with space (the porches 🙂) and kitchen had everything needed and then some. Able to enjoy Labor Day pier fireworks from the property and close to shops,beach and inlet access. Plan is to return. Much Appreciation Mermaid Cottages

We are a family of 10 and this house gave us may places to hang out. The fenced in yard with pool was beautiful, two screen porches to use during the day of rain and a large, kitchen/dining area to cook and eat in was perfect. We walked to the beach everyday and also enjoyed several sunsets at another walkable beach. All in all I have NO cons to say about this rental except not a fan of charcoal grilling. We plan on returning in the future.

Between the beautifully landscaped back yard, all the porches and multiple bedrooms, this spacious house gave 11 people (from four families) all the room needed to find their own space, when needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We came down for a few days to celebrate a family birthday. The house was just so beautiful and suited our needs perfectly. Just a quick walk to the beach made it the best location. The pool is also amazing. Thank yall for everything.
We had a great time and really enjoyed the home. We loved the common area and the outdoor area, we were able to build a fire of our nights. There were 12 of us and we had plenty of space to be comfortable. I would def come back for another stay.
Outdoor / pool area was amazing. It is an older home with master bathroom updated beautifully. We spent most evenings on the main floor, screened, porch. Short walk to many shops, restaurants, and beach. We would definitely stay here again.
