It was wonderful from the moment we stepped into the condo! It was extremely clean and so well equipped for our stay! From the starter supplies to the linens and the beach equipment in the closet... top notch. We were impressed with how prepared for our stay the property was. The personal beach access was what sold me most on the booking and we were not disappointed. It was so convenient. We enjoyed easily going from balcony to the beach. The pier is also close and we enjoyed walks there for ice cream and the arcade in the evening. The location is wonderful. I hope to return again.
We were able to get away for a short break with our son and daughter in law and the Salty Mermaid fit the bill! The hosts were easy to contact, especially when we had a couple of questions come up. It is located right on the beach with terrific access. We loved sitting on the deck and watching the dolphins go by! Enjoyed our stay!

The unit was very clean and well equipped. There are two free piers close by. The location was nice if you want a relaxing getaway with the beach to yourself. Very pleased with our stay. We had the fireplace feature on every night. It is so beautiful.

We have stayed in several condos at this complex. This one has been beautifully updated, and we had a wonderful experience! You cannot beat being steps away from the beach with a great pool and hot tub to enjoy. Highly recommend this property!!

Thank you, James! We hope to welcome you back again, soon.
This was our first time staying in this area and we absolutely loved the condo! Porch is so nice and seems private even is the busy area. Everything is updated and the owners were very quick to answer a question I had while staying there. We would absolutely book again if we come back to this area!
We had a great time and looking forward to going back soon! The beach access from the balcony is unparalleled along the grand strand and the condo is well appointed. The iced coffee, amazing ocean views and plush king bed made it hard to leave. Just book it!

This is a very nice waterfront condo in a great location. Pictures do represent the condo well. And, the condo owner was a pleasure to work with, very responsive and very professional. We’d definitely consider booking this condo again.

You always take a chance when you book a place where you’ve never been, but the Salty Mermaid didn’t disappoint. Amazing view, very tasteful accessories, made great use of the space. We’ve booked for next year!

We had a fantastic stay at this beachside condo! The location couldn’t have been better—just steps from the sand with easy access from the back of the unit, and a quick walk to the pool as well. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, which made meals a breeze. One of our favorite features was the porch—it was the perfect spot to start the day with coffee and wind down in the evening with a cocktail. The owners went above and beyond by providing a closet full of beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, and even boogie boards for the kids and adults :) , which made our stay even more enjoyable. A wonderful spot for families looking for a relaxing and convenient beach get away.

Thank you so much for your kind review, Vanessa! You were wonderful guests and we hope that you’ll visit with us again soon.
Stay was fine until final 2 evenings. The walls are very thin and noise can be heard from main front hallway and overhead. Unfortunately several families moved in and let the children run wild over every floor. I had to leave much earlier than expected as the parents seemed hostile when confronted.
