#01187M
13B Cedarwood Ave., Tybee Island, GA, 31328

NO BEACH TOWELS OR BEACH GEAR PROVIDEDCONTACTLESS CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT

Located directly behind historic Officer's Row, this quiet part of Tybee is close to the Lighthouse and North Beach.
Ground level, fenced-in yard, dog-friendly, tall ceilings and extra large windows allowing tons of natural light to pour in. The home now offers 2 full baths and an additional "water closet!"
Full of art from local artists and vintage finds, comfy furniture and best of all the extra large screened porch with rocking chairs. Truly a southern charmer of a home! This home is a historic home, and the homeowner has added an additional full bath for a total of 2 1/2 baths! Yet another unique feature of our home! This is half of the duplex with Enlisted Men's Mess Hall on the other side. Both sides are quiet and have private/separate entrances. Need space for a large family? Rent both sides!
Enjoy your complimentary sample of Mermaid Morning Bliss coffee; a special perk for all Mermaid Cottages guests!

We really enjoyed staying at Screened Inn. The online description is very accurate, but it doesn't say just how cool the accessories and decorations are in the place. The whole experience felt very authentic to the time frame of the property. We loved the front porch and spent a good bit of time there. The beach access isn't "typical" but walking through the secret passway felt like a grand adventure. Dealing with Mermaid Cottages was the easiest communication with property managers I've ever experienced. They were available on the spot, courteous, helpful and so polite. I would definitely recommend this place and would love to stay again.

Spacious, classy appointments and great location

This place is well adorned, with plenty of bathrooms for a family of various sizes. Comfortable, classic, with great property management and it's own secret path to the beach. On the north side of Tybee, easy access on and off the island and an almost private beach just south of the fort.

Another great stay at Screened Inn

We knew this would also be a great chance to bring along the family dog as well after we stayed with Mermaid Cottages at this location Teo years ago. Perfect size and layout for our three boys and us. Great location as a quick walk from the least crowded parts of the beach on the north end of Tybee. You will love it.

Screened Inn is one of my favorites! Great, quiet street, so close to the beach, the park is literally in your backyard, the Lighthouse and the history... So, yes, you need to make this a 'thing' now. Come back with everyone, and soon! :) ~ Jennifer & the Mermaids of Tybee
