retriever, and we thought she was molting!Hair everywhere and we kept bedroom doors closed, but we did our best to stay on top
of it.She behaved like a pampered princess, and she wasn't crazy about the heat and the humidity.One evening we sat out on the porch with her, enjoying the evening in the rocking chairs, and when we came inside the BRB she collapsed on the floor inside and sighed.She apparently was thankful for the central air conditioning!For that reason, I think we will leave her with one
of our daughters the next time we visit and stay with the Mermaids.The BRB is located in a quiet neighborhood which was perfect for us.Even better, it is located around the corner from AJ's Dockside Restaurant.Good food and perfect outdoor views
of the sunset and the marsh from the outside tables.For those dinners when you would like to eat in, there is a grill in the backyard with a cover, and we used it multiple times.We had an
excellent experience with the Mermaids, and we will most definitely stay with the Mermaids when we visit Tybee Island again.
