I chose it…read morebecause it's close to the beach and I didn't want to spend a fortune, so I expected it to just be small and simple, and that's fine. Unfortunately the major issue was that the room was not clean at all. The floor in particular was really grimy, so I asked the front desk if someone could clean, which they said they'd do the next day, but no one ever did. We wore our shoes in the room the whole time instead. Aside from that, the sink was smaller than an airplane bathroom, so washing my face was nearly impossible. I also didn't like that there wasn't a deadbolt or other way to lock the room door from the inside. I can say that they gave me a whole lot of extra towels when I asked, and the bed was pretty comfortable.

The place is wonderful. Comfortable, great views, amenities. It was off-season (we like fewer crowds) so not a lot going on, just peaceful and quiet. Staff has gone way above and beyond to help rectify an error on our part. I could not be more thankful!

After staying here almost every year for the past 15 years, my family has enjoyed many great…read morememories. However, the condos are now more run-down, and there are a couple problems that should be addressed. First, the fact that smoking is still permitted on the balconies is ridiculous. Secondhand smoke, as we all know, is toxic and immediately harmful. The beach view is the key feature to this place, and everyone should be able to sit on the patio to enjoy it without the smell of cigarette smoke. This year I brought a floor fan to put on the patio with me, but it did not prevent the smell of smoke. There is no safe level of breathing secondhand smoke whether you are indoors or out. Smoking needs banned on the patios. The second issue is with the mildew smell of the air vents. The first two days this week, all I could smell is fresh laundry. Apparently, there are dryer sheets on the air filters, which is loaded with toxic chemicals btw. However, the rest of the week, it smelled strongly of mildew every time the AC kicked on. That could be a serious issue for those with asthma or mold allergies. Third, the kitchen could definitely use an update, specifically the scratched nonstick cooking pans, which are toxic (you knew that was coming). Those need replaced with new ceramic pans. And one last note - I find it absolutely ironic that I witnessed the maintenance man threatening a lady in the pool that he would call the health department and have her kicked out because she removed the rope that separates deep/shallow ends. Yes, call the health department, please, and ask them about all the issues I listed as well. Folks, overall this is a decent place to stay with perks like the beach view, free coffee, and an easy walk to the pool. However, be aware of the negatives that could potentially harm your well-being. We go on vacation to relax and de-stress, not come home with lung cancer. Seriously.

You could tell how much thought and effort went in to presentation, flavor and diversity. I loved the peach cream baked french toast so much I had to look up similar recipes so I can make it at home. There were always cold drinks in the mini fridge, ice in the cooler, water in a pitcher, snacks in a bowl and best of all something homemade every day. I can't decide if my favorite was the rocky road bars, or this chocolate peanut buttery rice crispy like dessert. We stayed in both the Sunrise Suite and the Starfish room because neither were available for all five days. Both are fantastic! Hot roomy showers, oh so comfy robes, soft sheets and towels, mattresses that were not too soft nor too hard, perfectly painted, and well chosen decor. The house has a covered porch on three sides so there are loungers in both the shade and in the sun by the pool. My favorite spot was the swing. The beach is a five minute walk away, not crowded at all, and made for long walks. I love to travel and try new places, but Surf Song on Tybee is a place I will look forward to returning to in the years to come. I wished we lived closer so we could visit several times a year.

It was rainy and cold all weekend but we didn't mind honestly because the room was so wonderful and cozy! There were indoor cushioned swings to lounge in, complimentary robes, and the linens were to die for. It was so quiet it felt like we were the only ones there, and we had the absolute best view! Breakfast was fantastic and we enjoyed chatting with the owner, as she was super attentive, warm, and friendly. We enjoyed a cup of coffee on the porch swing before heading out for a walk on a the beach once the rain had cleared. We will absolutely be back to Surf Song for another stay in the near future! We cannot recommend it enough!

We stayed in the private's quarters which was very clean and comfortable with everything one could need/want in a room. Breakfast was very nice with great options and being served in the dining room/cafe location made it a great way to start the day. We felt very catered to. Loved that they offered beach chairs and bikes for guests. The only suggestion that we could offer is if you stay on the first floor of the house expected that the visitors above you may be heavy footed and the sound will echo other than that we really enjoyed out stay.

They offered other locations if we wanted to move. (We bought pirate clothes instead.) That was the first indication of the hospitality we received from Mermaid Cottages. They truly cared about our experience, worked to make sure we were happy. The location itself was great. Steps from the beach, with gated access to covered parking and two assigned parking places. The condo was older but well-maintained and furnished. Bedrooms were large and comfortable. There was a spacious open living area with a galley kitchen and bar, a separate dining area, and a wrap-around covered balcony. We feel like we made friends with Mermaid Cottages and look forward to seeing them again soon!

Location location location!…read more The hotel is so convenient. It's within easy walking distance for 2 breakfast spots and a lot of lunch/dinner restaurants, and shopping, plus the pier and the beach. We booked thru trip advisor which was quite reasonable, but the hotel website itself also offers specials so check that out first. We got a king ocean view. The room was on the fourth floor (they have elevators) and had a balcony and gorgeous views of the beach (and sunrises). There are blackout curtains should you wish to sleep late. The room was quite large -- in addition to the king bed there was another area with a sink next to the fridge and microwave. The large open closet area also has an in room safe, ironing board, and iron. Plus there are beach towels and two beach chairs, as well. The modern bathroom has an in tub/shower and a hairdryer plus the usual. Towels were plentiful -- thick white ones. It was an easy walk from the hotel over the boardwalk to the beach. They also have two pools. We visited the tiki bar for a drink when we arrived. We didn't use room cleaning services, but just exchanged towels for a fresh set one day. The hotel is not new -- you can see all the historic photos posted in the elevator. But it had all the necessary amenities and was comfortable. We'd stay here again.

Location- only pro is that it is across from Stingray's. It's also near this pier for fishing, shopping, and like this "downtown-y" area. it also has a beach right in front of it. However, the "ocean front" is deceptive. there is a public parking lot that separates the hotel to the beach. This was disruptive to the views and the experience. Pricing- too high. this is price gauging for 300$ a night roughly when the airBNB were probably cleaner and better. Cleanliness- super dirty. sand everywhere, toilet had stains, shower also dirty. it was like the cleaning people didn't even try. the halls felt musty and dirty. the decor was outdated. interior- dark. very dark with sterile white lights. This worsened the quality of the stay when everything felt sticky, dirty, and dark. They gave out tokens to the "tiki" bar but we stood there in the evening and gave up waiting when no one seemed to be there. we wound up redeeming for water/protein shake in the coolers in the lobby.

We reserved Suite #5 for one night. The room was freezing and there was a horrible smell (I thought it was sewer gas and usually running water solves that- it didn't). We had the heat cranked as high as we could to warm up, but had to have the windows open due to the smell- not a good situation. They offer a variety of rooms studio, 1,2 & 3 bedroom options. Plenty of free parking available. You do have to check in at a different location, it is not far away, but it is a hassle. My biggest regret is that we didn't check out immediately and find a new place.

No lighting in parking area...very dark. Smelled marijuana all over place. However, the beds were comfortable with large assortment of pillows. Nicely furnished with cute furniture.
