Miss Opals was cozy! I would only make a suggestion for an air conditioner window unit in the pool house. And possibly cut back soE of the foliage in the back yard. I would highly recommend this place. We had a great time. If you do stay here in fall months ask them to have the heater on before you get there. Seemed like it took two days to get the water warm.

Perfect Little Cottage

LOVED our stay at Opal's Cottage. We stayed for 7 days. It was the perfect size for 4 adults and so many thoughtful details for guests. The cottage was very clean & there was relaxing music playing to welcome us! The furniture and beds were very comfortable. The sheets, pillows and quilts were top notch. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. Both bathrooms included high quality towels and some toiletries which we loved. The washer and dryer was very convenient for a midweek load of laundry and towels. The central air conditioning kept the cottage exceptionally cool. It was so amazing to come back to a perfectly cool vacation home! Now the best parts of the cottage are absolutely the backyard, pool and the front enclosed porch... Every morning we had our coffee on the porch while enjoying the sounds of nature all around us. The entire property has beautiful foliage which made us feel like we were in a tropical paradise 3. The pool house was awesome, filled with floats, beach chairs, & lounge chairs. The TV was awesome... We were able to watch the Phillies game from inside the pool! Finally, the Pool... Wow... it was perfect. We loved that it was heated so you could just walk right in, while still staying perfectly cool. We enjoyed it for hours every day! Finally, the staff at Mermaid Cottages were amazing and available to help us with anything we needed! Thank you 3

Beautiful little bungalow!

Property was exactly as described. Had everything you might need. Close to beach and restaurants and shops. Pool was very nice the day we were able to enjoy it (weather didn't cooperate the week we stayed). Would highly recommend.

Great house!

Enjoyed staying here, great location and great little home. Everything was clean, nice and we had lovely time. Enjoyed the backyard and pool and sunsets on the front porch. Kitchen had everything we needed but it would have been nice to have had an extra roll of toilet paper! Communication was great however they didn't seem flexible at all regarding early check-in, even just an hour. Most VRBOs we've rented from will allow this and notify you if the home is ready early, so that was the only bummer but other than that everything was great!

Perfect In Every Way

We loved Opal's Cottage! A short walk to the center of all Tybee Island has to offer and a private oasis in back. It doesn't get any better.

Perfect getaway

We had the best time at Ms. opals. It was so cute, quaint and relaxing, but Close enough to Walk to everything. We loved playing scrabble poolside and swimming in the heated pool. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were all super comfy. It was exactly what we were looking for and they had thought of every detail to compete our stay. The property manger was so helpful and accommodating with every detail. We will definitely be back and would recommend for anyone looking for a Tybee Island getaway. We loved it!
