Great place to stay, it is a beautiful house. The beach was quiet and not crowded. The pool was fantastic after swimming in the ocean all day. They had a big canopy to use on the beach and plenty of chairs. Walking distance to places to eat and a small convenience store to pick up a few items.
Stunning home, hot tub, pool and, steps from the beach/ocean. Overall great location with many conveniences close by.

Beautiful house. Pool & hot tub a big hit with my grandchildren and the adults. Walking on the beach and the sunsets were amazing. Walking distance to the restaurants. Wish we could have stayed longer. Walmart near by to purchase groceries.

The Mermaid Lairs is absolutely beautiful, we went on a family trip with 4 adult couples and it was perfect!! We had a few minor issues (as to be expected) and Seaside Property was right there to assist with no hesitation. Our only complaint would be the beds were way to soft and the pillows were bulky and to hard for our liking, but we were able to find normal pillows in the closet which helped.

This beach house is an exquisite coastal retreat, offering breathtaking views and impeccable design. The home was super clean and very well maintained. We enjoyed a memorable week with our family of 8 adults and 7 year old child. Everyone enjoyed the spacious, beautifully designed home, the inviting outdoor area with its ideal sized pool, and the spectacular ocean just steps away. It had every amenity for an unforgettable stay. The chef's kitchen was stunning and well equipped with a large refrigerator and freezer, a wide variety of cookware and kitchen essentials, and a dedicated ice machine that was an added bonus. For outdoor activities there were plenty of pool and beach toys, a canopy for shade and enough beach chairs for everyone. The house offers easy access to a variety of local restaurants, grocery stores and attractions of downtown Clearwater. The property management team was attentive and kept in touch making sure we had everything we needed for our stay. We definitely would like to return to IRB and stay at Mermaid's Lair!
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!
This house is big and beautiful. Beautifully decorated. Extremely close walk to the beach. The pool area is great.

This was our 3rd consecutive year of a spring vacation to Indian Rocks Beach. We needed a bigger house this year and selected the Mermaid. Everything was great!!! The house was all that we expected. Plenty of space. The pool and hot tub were very warm. There was initially a shortage of beach chairs and the manager responded same day with more chairs. We had a great week. A+

Thank you for the 5 star review! The Seaside Property Shoppe
Beautiful house. Sleeping accommodations weren’t enough for 10 adults. Bunk bed room was more for kids. The Queen sized beds were quite small. However there was a lot of spacein the house and the pool and beach location was awesome.

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!
