Relaxing family vacation

The house was really nice! We had 8 adults (19 and older) and a 3 year. We all felt like there was plenty of space for us. There are tvs in each room so everyone could watch something different if they wanted too. The beds were comfortable. My 3 year old I put in a pack n play (that was provided at the house) in one of the closets because there wasn’t too much space around the king bed for it. Worked out nicely! The kitchen had all the pots and pans we needed, even a big one for our low country boil! We really enjoyed having access to the golf cart and the kayak! The beach was nice, very calm, so if you are looking for big waves, or more than a little wave, you probably want to go to a different beach. It was nice for us because we could use floats and not get dumped over every two seconds and my 3 year old could walk out in the water and not be afraid of it. Also the water is pretty shallow for quite some distance so you don’t have to worry about it just dropping off. The pool was nice, a decent size and the pickle ball court was nice on the breaks from the storms that we had our last day there. The only down side was the bugs…but there was bug spray in the golf cart and on the back porch so it was manageable. My husband didn’t like that there wasn’t very many golf courses close by but I was fine with it. Lol. Overall a nice place, very close to the beach and very relaxing!

The Blue Mermaid is an ELITE property on Harbor Island

Our stay was absolutely wonderful and perfect. The Blue Mermaid was clean and extremely spacious. The hosts were marvelous from the booking through checkout. We were there to be married in the beach and they even surprised us with a bottle of champagne to help celebrate. There simply isn’t enough space to convey how wonderful this location, this property, and these hosts, truly are. Thank you for a wonderful vacation and wedding experience!!

Perfect for large families!

Our family enjoyed staying here. It was large enough to handle 5 kiddos with plenty of extra space. There is a lot to do on the island to keep the family busy. The golf cart and kayak were a hit with the whole family. Be sure to check out the clubhouse for daily activities they have for guests. Food trucks were always there for some tasty treats. We will be visiting again soon. Thank you for making your property family oriented!

About the host

Hosted by Jo Anne Martucci

We've always wanted a beach house, and the Blue Mermaid is our dream come true! We love the low country, it's natural beauty, rich history and friendly culture. Harbor Island is a natural paradise. The Blue Mermaid is our home-away-from home, and we're happy to share it with you.

Why they chose this property

Harbor Island is the perfect place for you, your family and friends to relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the low country. This region is steeped in history and culture, close enough to Savannah and Charleston for a day trip, far enough away to relax from traffic.
The low country barrier islands were used as a place for inland families to escape the Summer heat. There were "beach camps" set up along the islands and marshes, many only accessible by boat. The Blue Mermaid pays homage to these historic getaways, low key and easy going. That being said, the home is fully supplied for your vacation needs. The front porch is where you'll watch the sunrise, the screened back porch for the sunset. Linen services are provided, including sheets, bath and beach towels. The kitchen is equipped for all your family get-togethers, with enough cookware for those family breakfasts and even a low country boil! Bicycles, beach toys, boogie boards, a kayak and a golf cart are available for guest use. We also provide a Hunting Island park pass for 1 vehicle.
As premier hosts, we listen to our guests and are committed to your experience. That being said, the home has been updated for 2023. It's been painted and equipped with more comfortable, updated furniture. Tables are provided for outdoor dining and new linens for your comfort. A golf cart is available for carrying your gear to the beach has been added at our guests request. Please note that use of the golf cart requires the purchase of $79damage/liability insurance through VRBO.
