Mermaid Cove was fantastic! The place was clean and welcoming. The best part of course was the view. We loved seeing the water from everywhere in the house and beach access was perfect. We had a minor glitch with the internet but was fixed promptly. The host was very responsive.

Perfect location. We rode bikes into Alys and Rosemary for food, but other than that we stayed on the beach. This area of beach is not overly crowded. A few things I would share:1. 3 bikes are provided so if you need more I'd suggest getting letting Dylan know before you arrive2. There is a Publix 1 mile from this townhouse so no need to Instacart 3. Bring extra towels (no beach towels provided)*Do not use the dryer - there is something in there that made marks on our clothes*The beds are Super comfortable!

Clean, cute, and comfortable! A great rental for couples or small family. Tastefully decorated, stocked kitchen, views were incredible, shopping and restaurants were super close and the beach couldn’t be more accessible. We loved it and are already planning on coming back.

Our favorite place on 30A

This is our second time staying at Mermaid Cove and it was just as great as the first. We love the location. It is perfectly situated right on the beach. Perfect for those with little ones who dont want to drag a ton of stuff to the beach and walk a long way. We had plenty of room for our group of 4. The property was clean and tidy and beds and pillows were comfortable. Communication with the management was fantastic. We will absolutely be staying here again in the future.

For the price we paid, we expected a much higher standard. Unfortunately, the property had a faulty door that let bugs in constantly during the love bug season. The rental company offered no option to cancel with a refund, leaving us stuck in an uncomfortable situation. Traveling with our 4-month-old, it was far from ideal to have bugs inside the rental. While the location itself was fine, the condition of the property was extremely disappointing. I would not stay here again and cannot recommend it until these issues are properly addressed.

This was a wonderful condo for our family of four! So easy to get to the beach, we went back and forth all the time without it being a hassle.

It was a wonderful week, we will definitely be back!

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect location! We beach vacation yearly and both the view and proximity of the ocean were, by far, the best we've experienced!

Great Beach Condo

This lovely end unit condo is located on a private beach. There is a private staircase for the condos to access the white sands that make this area of the gulf so beautiful. We enjoyed watching the dolphins every morning while drinking our coffee on the patio. It’s close to a Publix for groceries and all the delicious dining options you want to try along 30a. We will definitely book again when in the area.
