Always wonderful
We have stayed at Screened Inn numerous times, and we can't imagine staying anywhere else when we visit Tybee. We also feel that the mermaids are hands down the best property management group that we've ever encountered. We'll be back as soon as possible!

Tybee Island vacation
Stayed here for a few days with my husband, our friends and their dog. The place was perfect for two couples or a couple with a few kids. The fenced in yard was excellent for the dog too! We spent most of our time on the delightful screened in porch watching life go by on the Island. Clean, cute and cleverly decorated. Easy walk to the beach through the secret gate. I would definitely come back and stay here again.

beach getaway
We loved the cottage and the details done toward historic preservation. Mornings and evenings on the screened in porch were so peaceful. The fenced in yard for the dog was great. Convenient access to the beach.

Cute property
Super clean and cute property with tons of character, close to beach. The only negatives being the locks tend to stick making it hard to get in an out at times. Bed was not to our preference. Could feel springs poking and we found it extremely hard. Might just need a mattress topper. Checkin was also late in my opinion at 4 but this was clearly stated and might be common on the island?? Even so, we enjoyed our stay.

A Little Slice Of Tybee Island Heaven!
The best birthday weekend at the cutest little cottage! We loved everything about our stay! The communication was top notch! Location was perfect! The house was so clean I let my 7 mo old granddaughter crawl around everywhere. Beds were comfy, loved the screened in porch! My husband is a builder and loved the aesthetics of this historical home. We had dinner at the Crab Shack (2 mi away and a definite must eat at) the first night and grilled steaks at the cottage the 2nd night. We enjoyed a day at the beach, which was close enough to walk to. Thank you to the sweet host for my birthday bottle of wine! We can’t wait to go back for our next stay! This is definitely one of our favorite vacation rentals! You won’t go wrong picking this cute cottage for your next Tybee Island visit!
