    This historic Fort Screven structure has been fully restored and thoughtfully renovated. Redesigned by Layla Palmer of The Lettered Cottage, a recipient of the Tybee Island Historic Society Preservation Award, this remarkable home blends timeless character with fresh coastal style. Originally built as one of three Mess Halls for the fort, it has lived many lives—including a memorable chapter as a boarding house.

Tybee Island vacation

Stayed here for a few days with my husband, our friends and their dog. The place was perfect for two couples or a couple with a few kids. The fenced in yard was excellent for the dog too! We spent most of our time on the delightful screened in porch watching life go by on the Island. Clean, cute and cleverly decorated. Easy walk to the beach through the secret gate. I would definitely come back and stay here again.

It's such a gem of a property and truly made our vacation even more special. The house was clean and well cared for. It had everything we needed and we can't wait to come back. Tammy was extra helpful and so sweet before and during our visit.

Located near the lighthouse, the beach, the Legion and the Jaycee park it is a wonderful area to walk and bike.The house was clean and beds were comfortable. But the highlight was the incredible service from the Mermaid Cottages staff. They were incredibly helpful and responsive.

Perfect getaway spot on the island

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had the best time staying at the men's mess hall. Our family of four fit perfectly in this cottage, and the walk to the beach was super easy and a fun adventure for our kids. The quiet neighborhood was lovely, and the house was adorable. It wasn't *perfectly* clean, but it was just fine and Mermaid Cottages couldn't have been more friendly, helpful, or professional. We would love to stay here again but will ALWAYS rent with Mermaid Cottages due to their above and beyond customer service. We LOVED this little property!

What a perfect getaway rental. This is a quiet, tucked away spot that’s so close to the beach, restaurants and cool things to do and see. 20 minutes from Savannah we spent several days going to many different museums and restaurants. The hop on & off trolley is worth it in Savannah. We rented bikes on the island because everything is so close. There are so many good places to eat, especially sweets. Definitely stop by Tybean coffee, it’s so charming and they have a great selection of coffee. We have an electric car and there is a fast charger right around the corner. Super convenient. This inn has private access to the beach which is so nice and is pretty hidden. We brought our 2 small dogs and they loved the fenced in yard and the screened in porch. The house itself has everything one would need. Their beds are very comfortable and there are plenty of them without feeling crowded. The hosts were absolutely fantastic. They check in on us and communicate without being intrusive. At the end we left something behind and Tammy reached out immediately to arrange for us to get back our items. Truly wonderful hosts and a wonderful place to stay and visit. Highly recommended.

September 24 Stay at Tybee

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: We had a wonderful relaxing time at the Enlisted Men's Mess Hall. I'd been wanting to stay there for a while and I was not disappointed. The management staff couldn't have been better. Friendly, helpful and generally added a great element to our trip. We were there a week before Helene came in. Our weather was very nice but we're sorry that the island had to go through a hurricane. We hope that there was not much damage. We're looking forward to another trip to Tybee and Mermaid Cottages.

Delightful retreat

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 cottage is located in a lovely, quiet neighborhood within walking distance of the beach and the lighthouse, which was lovely. My favorite thing, though, was the porch! When the waves are big at the beach, you can hear them from the porch. My husband and I sat in the rockers, reading and listening to the waves, in the evenings, and it made me never want to leave. We loved the cute, vintage-y touches in the cottage as well. Of the three times we've stayed with Mermaid Cottages, this cottage was definitely my favorite!

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: We have just returned home from our 7th stay at the Enlisted Mens Mess Hall. Do I need to say more? This charming cottage is everything we need and much of what draws us back to Tybee. The location is ideal and within a 7 minute walk to the beach through a jasmine lined little path. The Mermaids are wonderful and respond to any needs you might have while visiting. The cottage is spotless, the porch is like none other! On a rainy morning when you can't get to the beach, where better to spend some time than on that porch!? Thank you, Mermaids, for yet another perfect stay at the Mess Hall!!!

Lovely Historic Cottage

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: My stay in the Enlisted Men’s Mess Hall came at a wonderful time to be away from my frozen home in TN. As a retired history teacher I enjoyed staying in a home so rich with history. It was fun to imagine the many soldiers who were fed within its walls when Ft. Screven was an active Army post. The interior of the home has been beautifully refurbished with a gorgeous screened in porch wrapping around the outside. I love to stay on the north end of Tybee. This cottage was an easy walk to the park, the beach, and the Tybee Light. I have already reserved a time to return next year.
