Great house in a great location!

We had a group of 5 adult friends wanting a relaxing weekend on the beach while being close enough to get into the city...and we got it! The home is great, very clean, all the amenities you could want, and great communication from the property manager. Will definitely keep this on the list for the future.

Vitamin Sea - just what the Dr ordered

We chose Vitamin Sea because of the location on the island and the 4 bedrooms. We were in town for our son’s wedding and this was the perfect house for needs. The house was very clean. Loved the views from the kitchen/ family room. The property manager was in contact with us after we arrived and also arranged for an extra day when one of our guests woke up sick on the morning of our original departure. Great stay!

Amazing!!

We had such a wonderful time at this property! It was clean, spacious, bright, and everything we hoped for. It is in a safe walkable area that is a super short walk to the beach. We had such a wonderful experience with the property manager and the cleaning crew. They were great at communicating promptly, accommodating our needs, and being flexible with us. I could not recommend this property enough if you are coming to the area!!

Great Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been coming to Tybee and staying at this house for several years now. You can’t beat the location. The house is perfect size for 8 adults. However, they do need to replace mattresses in a few of the bedrooms,and living room furniture. They are quite worn out, and the living room furniture only seats about 5 adults.

Management

Received a phone call from the manager telling us her worker drove by and told her we “had a bunch of people at the house”. Really? House sleeps 8 and we had 7. Strike 1. Then we discover that for a house that sleeps 8 (4 bedrooms) there is only 2 parking spaces. So one of our cars has to park on the grass. The manager told us we might get a ticket. Strike 2. They need to provide parking tags for the cars is this is an issue. She said they couldn’t afford them because they were 300 a year. Seriously?! A small price to pay for making sure your guests don’t get a ticket. I will never use Mermaid Cottages again.

Fantastic House on Tybee

Vitamin Sea is a great house on Tybee with a fantasic location. It's across the street from a pier on Tybee Creek and AJ's Dockside is also a short walk away. You can also walk to the beach, main beach pier and shops. The house was clean and had everything you needed to relax. Having the grill was great for dinner time as well. The only issue we had was nails at the end the of driveway. We had to replace two tires on our way home. But we will definitely be back!

Great location! Roomy Clean and spacious!

My family of 8 had a great stay at Vitamin Sea! ( 3 couples, an 18 year old and a 10 year old.) We did need the pull out sofa for our crew. The place has great views, was clean and lived up to description provided. We would definitely stay at Vitamin Sea again. Minor critiques would be: The bath towels provided were not enough for us even with the washing machine and the full and 2 queen mattresses could use an upgrade. We also wished there would have been more comfy seating in the common den/living room area for all 8 of us to hang out at one time.
