Mermaids Lair- an unforgettable ocean front haven

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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!

Beautiful Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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+

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 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!
