A Week of Fun Under One Roof

We had a great time at Mermaid's Lair. Everything we needed was under one roof: great kitchen, beds were comfortable, heated pool and hot tub. Sunny areas, shady areas and the beach was beautiful. Staff was extremely helpful and we wanted for nothing at the house. We would stay again!

Beautiful Property-This is where you want to stay!

Completely as advertised. Property is gorgeous and steps from the gulf. We appreciated the impeccable cleanliness and ample space in the entire home. All beds were extremely comfortable, and loved the en suite bathrooms in 3 of the bedrooms. Plenty of dishes and utensils, as well as a wine/beer fridge separate from the main refrigerator. Ocean views from master as well as 2nd floor main living space. Pool and hottub were spotless. Many restaurants within walking distance, including a coffee shop across the street. Plenty of bikes and pool toys as well. Property mgmt office across the street provided friendly & extremely easy check-in. We will definitely look to rent here again, and hopefully will catch better weather next time, which was our only complaint. One note: remember to bring cone filters for coffee pot...plenty of basket filters left from other guests, including ourselves :)

Family April 24' Vacation

Had a great time together and especially enjoyed the location of the rental home in proximity to the beach and the gorgeous sunsets each evening. Kids had fun on the beach as well as in the pool. Finding a restaurant that wasn't mobbed was a little problem for a party of 9 but the house definitely had a great kitchen with everything available to prepare meals and barbeque. You could literally enjoy the Mermaid's Lair's amenities, the beach, the scenery and the pool without going anywhere for days on end!

Best property I’ve stayed in that area

This house is beautifully decorated and short walk to beach. With 4 kids under age of 5 that was important to us. There were new bath towels and new kitchen towels. The beach towels were very nice. Loved having a door alarm to the pool. Plenty of room in large fridge and pantry. Loved being able to text the mgmt group if needed

A dream of Florida - without lacking anything

The house is fantastic. We enjoyed the location with its view, beach, pool and neighborhood very much. The building was clean, the kitchen very well equipped and the view at sunset spectacular (on any floor and balcony). The rooms are nice and you can host easily 10 people. The only "downside" was that none of the tables (inside / outside) has more than 6 chairs; if you improvise you can sit with a party of 9 outside on the deck. There are lots of beach toys for the kids, chairs for the beach, umbrellas. We lacked nothing - a true 5-star feedback.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 6 girls who have been friends since at least High School traveled to Mermaids Lair to celebrate our milestone! Amazed beyond belief-this house was better than pictures!!! We had everything you could imagine needing, extremely comfortable and the location and views couldn’t be beat! I am not a salt water person yet found myself floating in the water for hours each day just waiting for the dolphins to come and play! Enjoyed the bikes for long and short rides and some took long walks along the beach-so much, so close-great restaurants and the store across the street very convenient! A spot for all to enjoy whether congregating to chat or needing some alone time. Definitely hope to book a stay here again!

Third Stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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 love Mermaid's Lair which is perfect for a multi-generational family trip. It is a bonus to have beach chairs and toys provided with the house. The kitchen is well stocked and we ate in every night, enjoying the amazing sunsets and views from the house. Being July, it was very hot so the pool was very welcome and being right on the beach meant we could set up on the beach early in the morning and go back to the house for the air conditioning later in the day, before returning to the beach mid afternoon. Our only suggestion is to close up the fabric concertina door between the king room and the bunkroom for more privacy.Seaside Property Shoppe were quick to address one or two issues that came up during our stay. We have reserved our week for 2025 already! This house will not disappoint!
