- The tide of the beach and the season affect how much, if any, sand will be in front of Mermaid's Pool Retreat. The pictures show sand out front of the condo. However, sometimes the ocean carries the sand away, and the beach becomes rocky. Please personally check conditions if this is important to you.
- Please note that early check-ins and late check-outs are available at our discretion. There are extra fees for either of these add-ons when available.
- There are no stairs; the unit is easily accessible for wheelchairs
