Perfect vacation
This was a great vacation for us and our dog. The beach is absolutely beautiful and the mermaid cottage felt like home. This assures to be a perfect get-a-way.

Thank you. "Feels like home" is the best compliment we could ever receive.
The home was a perfect place for two couples. We loved that the two “master” bedrooms were on opposite sides of the home. The rooftop patio is a great place to recoup from the day! The neighborhood is very quiet and just steps from the beach and a short drive to historic St. Augustine. Absolutely perfect!!!
The house is very nice and functional and we enjoyed our stay very much.

Glad you enjoyed. I have spent many hours sitting on that front porch listening to the ocean sounds and the wind blow through the palm fronds. Also glad that your pets got to travel with you and enjoy the dog friendly beach. Y'all come back.
Large, immaculate, well equipped property with great upper deck and fun history.

Guests are always surprised at how large the house is! Glad you found it roomy too. It is fun to stay in one of the original beach bungalows on Butler Beach. Of course, we've seriously updated it. Look forward to having you return and listen to the ocean from the upper deck.
We had a wonderful time while visiting St. Augustine Beach. The Mermaid Cottage was very cozy and clean, the neighborhood was quiet, and the weather was perfect. We had no issues and would highly recommend to others looking for a place to stay.
It’s such a great house, well stocked kitchen and plenty of space. The 3 different outdoor spaces were fantastic. Easy walk to the beach. We had a nice time.

Thank you for choosing our beach side cottage. Although the house is spacious I also love the outdoor spaces. The upper deck for sunning, the front covered porch for chilling and listening to the ocean and the breeze through the palm fronds and the back patio for grilling and enjoying the garden. Look forward to it having you return.
Absolutely beautiful place. Close to beach, quiet peaceful place. O now I wish I could have stayed longer our pups love to freedom of the fenced yard. Will be back soon.
The property is located at in a wonderful quiet neighborhood with easy beach access. The house was spacious and clean. We wish we could have stayed for longer than one night.
My family of five had a great stay at the Mermaid Cottage. Everyone had plenty of space, enjoyed the homey beach vibe, and loved the close beach access. Deborah is a very responsive host. We would not hesitate to come back.

Glad to hear that you had a comfortable and relaxing time in The Mermaid Cottage with friends.
The cottage was wonderful! Loved the garage for storing the beach equipment and the rooftop area was a plus! Short walk to the beach made it more delightful! Home was clean and a/c worked great! Host always responded within minutes! Will stay again!
The Mermaid Cottage is very quaint and has an historic element. It is a very quiet neighborhood. It is well maintained and very comfortable. Convenient beach access. The back garden/patio is beautiful. Kitchen was well equipped and we had everything we needed for our stay. Comfortable beds. Host was very responsive to questions.
