3 Ways Mermaid Cottages are Giving Back
It's Tybee Island's laid-back lifestyle that keeps visitors coming back year after year. The island's no-rush attitude, the friendly smiles of locals and the sense of community truly define what it means to be on "Tybee Time". One Tybee company, in particular, embraces this local culture more than ever before.
Their core beliefs are centered around giving back to the community and treating visitors like they would treat their own employees (some of whom have been with the company for 10 years). So, it was no surprise when we discovered that Mermaid Cottages uses their success to support our quaint island community.
Enjoy a fresh cup of Mermaid Morning Bliss coffee.
The beverage of choice to start your day begins with a complimentary bag of Mermaid Morning Bliss coffee in your Mermaid Cottage. This delicious blend is a robust collaboration with PERC Coffee Roasters, THE coffee powerhouse of Savannah. This blend is exclusive to Mermaid Cottages and is available in every rental or for purchase at the local island gift shop, Seaside Sisters, an icon of Tybee Island since 2007. Coffee sale proceeds go towards Sea Turtle programs worldwide that ensure the best chance of survival for young hatchlings. When picking up your coffee bag at Seaside Sisters, be sure to grab a Mermaid Cottage long or short-sleeve t-shirt that supports both local and regional non-profit organizations.

Your furry friend will "beg" for Beach Bum Biscuits!
Pets deserve a vacation too! Mermaid Cottage’s dog-friendly vacation rentals are equipped with water, food bowls, doggie bags and Beach Bum Biscuits (which can also be found at Seaside Sisters). A portion of sales from these dog treats and the pet rental fees help to support animal rescue. This includes Southeastern Guide Dog Foundation, the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind, One Love Animal Rescue, and Labrador Retriever Rescue of Florida.
