Stayed Apr 8, 2026Great little beach house. Super cute and updated. The bed linens are really soft (all cotton). Beds and pillows are very comfortable! It is a 6 minute walk to the beach and a few minute walk to the little grocery store on the island. Great place to stay on Tybee Island!

Stayed Dec 23, 2025Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second stay at Pura Vida. We were impressed by the renovations done over the summer. All the improvements made, especially the shower in the primary bedroom, made our time in the cottage comfortable and enjoyable. The only problem we had, and it might be because we are two old people with limited technology skills, was trying to use the TVs.Even so, we would still recommend making Pura Vida your home away from home when at Tybee.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I had yet another great experience renting a Mermaid Cottage. It is always so easy dealing with Tammy and the other Mermaids. This was our first stay in Pura Vida and we could not have been happier. Close enough to walk to the beach, and on a quiet street which allows for enjoyment on the comfortable screened in porch. We enjoyed the lovely decor and our dogs enjoyed the fenced in yard. I would never hesitate to recommend this cottage to future visitors.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pure Vida was the perfect spot to get away. This home has everything a person could want; 2 full bathrooms, an outdoor shower, and a large screened in porch. My guests enjoyed the peaceful setting and easy access to the beach as much as I did.This is the fourth year that I have stayed in a Mermaid Cottage, but not my last. Once again, Mermaid Tammy and company took care of every detail before and during my trip, making it feel like home! The consistency in superior customer service sets Mermaid Cottages apart from other rental property businesses.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This sweet house was perfect for our small family (including the dog)! It was clean and well stocked and a great location! Easy to walk to beach as well as restaurants and coffee! Unfortunately we had some very loud parties next door, so the night time was super relaxing but the morning on the porch was great! But that happens and it was no fault of mermaid Cottages! My only suggestion is to put things like shampoo and conditioner and soap in the shower. Maybe the containers that attach to the wall so none walks off with it ☺️ otherwise, excellent!

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This year (2024) was our second time staying at Pura Vida. The first time we stayed was in 2022. Both times we had an exceptional experience with both the cottage itself - very clean, great appliances, comfy bed, beautiful screened in front porch - and Mermaid Cottages staff. Communication was excellent from the moment we reserved the unit, during our stay to make sure everything was to our satisfaction, and even after we checked out. We are looking forward to renting Pura Vida again next year!
