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. ##### Linda K.

Rating 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 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! ##### Kelly F.

Reviewer Comments: When we opened the door to Pura Vida we were so impressed with "our house"! It was so clean, several new appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher) and just the overall feeling that this house has been well cared for between our visits from 2023 to 2024.The location in mid-island is perfect for us, just a two block walk to 12th or 13th street piers, a block away from the IGA and a nice stroll to all the happenings on the Strand. Tami is a top notch management rep, always available by phone with help or advice to all things Tybee. The snow flies today and it is cold in Ohio...can't wait to get back to Pura Vida! ##### Dean C.

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! ##### James Z.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family already misses this place and we’re still on the road back home haha! The mermaids were fantastic & sooo helpful before and during our stay. The house was perfect, immaculate & spacious! We loved sitting on the patio and playing board games! Tybee is the cutest/kindest place we’ve ever been and this house was just the cherry on top! ##### Maxine V.
