The Redheaded Mermaid was wonderfulâwe would stay again in a heartbeat! The house and backyard are even better than the pictures and description. The beach is close, although crossing the dunes can be challenging with toddlers or older adults. Overall, it was a fantastic five-star stay!
Thank you for your review! Weâre so glad you enjoyed your getaway and had a chance to relax and have fun. We appreciate you staying with us and hope to welcome you back again soon!
Our grandkids loved the heated pool. They spent hours in it, as did we. The house was clean. The host was quick to communicate and quickly took care of a few minor issues.
It was perfect for our family and toddler. It was a little chilly during our stay so the heated pool saved us to still get our daughter some water time! Anything we needed the host were very accommodating. We canât wait to book again.
What a great spot! Full of amenities and dog friendly easy walk to beach appreciated the dolly to transport beach toys and chairs. Heated pool and hot tub was great for cool days. When time to go inside pool table and video games was a great way to hangout. Great stay would go back!
Thank you for your great review! Weâre so glad you enjoyed the amenities, pet-friendly accommodations, and easy access to the beach. Itâs wonderful to hear that the heated pool, hot tub, pool table, and video games helped make your stay enjoyable in every season. We appreciate you choosing to stay with us and would love to welcome you back again!
Everything was there for what we needed. We had a few issues with the fire alarm and thermostat but when notified, they took care of the issue quickly We would stay again!!!!
Thank you for your review! Weâre glad the home had everything you needed for a great stay. We appreciate your understanding when issues came up and are happy our team was able to resolve them quickly. Weâd love to welcome you back again in the future!
Wonderful property and everything 5 stars except could not increase the temp of the hot tub (may have been user issue)very nice place to contemplate business strategy!
Thank you for your great review! Weâre thrilled you enjoyed the property and had such a wonderful stay. We appreciate the feedback about the hot tub and will look into it to ensure everything is working properly for future guests. Weâre glad the home provided a relaxing space to recharge and reflect, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!
Kitchen was well equipped, much better than other properties weâve stayed in. Comfy beds and couch for movie nights. Lots of games/activities for the whole family. Love the spacious dining room table. Would have loved to use the pool but we were there in off season, hot tub was great. Also good area for walking/running/dog walking. Just watch out for the prickly burrs that can get stuck in dog paws.
Thank you for your wonderful review! Weâre so glad you enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, spacious dining area, and family-friendly activities. Itâs great to hear the hot tub and nearby walking areas helped make your stay enjoyable. We appreciate the helpful note about the burrs and hope to welcome you and your furry friend back again soon!
We had a great stay. House was very clean. Kitchen cabinets and all light switches were labeled for convenience. The kids enjoyed the heated pool since the weather was a little cooler. The house is stocked with games (arcade, pool table, mini golf, etc.) that the kids enjoyed as well. Would definitely recommend!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! Weâre thrilled to hear you had a great stay and found the house clean and easy to navigateâthose labels really do make things simpler. Weâre glad the kids enjoyed the heated pool and all the games, especially with the cooler weather. It sounds like you made the most of everything!
We truly appreciate the recommendation and would love to host you again anytime. đ
Overall a wonderful stay. Communication was outstanding. The pool and game room was a hit with the kids. Beach access was excellent. Location was great. Beds and linens were relatively clean but one of the quilts appeared to have blood or wine stains burnt in. Not a huge deal. The only glaring inconvenience was the grill setup. There are two relatively small charcoal grills located in separate areas. One was on the side of the house, the other in the gated pool area. This made it difficult to manage a chicken barbecue for 10 people in that I had to run back and forth between both grills. My recommendation would be to invest in one large grill unit in a centralized location. We would absolutely recommend the mermaid and we would stay there again, but would suggest packing a portable grill if you have room.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so glad you and your family enjoyed the pool, game room, beach access, and our location. It's also great to hear that our communication helped make your stay enjoyable.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback about the grill setup. Based on comments like yours, we've upgraded the property by replacing the two smaller charcoal grills with one large charcoal grill in a centralized location, making it much easier to cook for larger groups.
We also appreciate you bringing the quilt to our attention. We've addressed it with our housekeeping team to ensure our linens continue to meet the high standards our guests expect.
Thank you again for staying with us and for recommending The Mermaid. We'd love to welcome you back on your next beach vacation!
My family enjoyed our stay at this property. We were here April 10th thru the 13th of 2026. The property is equipped with all that you need. From the outside grills to the kitchen appliances, every essential need was thoughtfully provided. Although the weather wasnât too favorable, we did enjoy water play. The jacuzzi and heated pool was most enjoyable. The temperatures remained perfect throughout the duration of our stay. If you are a worry freak like me, you want to make sure everything is in place when occupying someone elseâs home. The thoughtful written instructions and pictures were great tools used to keep us on track. There are so many things to do in the area and great restaurants. The gaming activities were a win win for my teenaged grandson and the adults too. We definitely enjoyed our stay, and would love to return in the warmer seasons.
Thank you for your wonderful review! Weâre so glad your family enjoyed the home, pool, hot tub, and thoughtful amenities despite the weather. We love hearing that the instructions, gaming options, and location helped make your stay comfortable and fun for everyone. Weâd be happy to welcome you back for another visit in a warmer season!
