Experience the ultimate New Smyrna Beach getaway at Mermaid's Playground, a beautifully renovated Key Lime Green beach home on Hill Street, just 53 steps from the pristine Atlantic Ocean. This spacious, pet-friendly retreat comfortably sleeps up to 13 guests and is the perfect choice for two families who want their own private spaces, one large family, or a group of friends traveling together. With two fully equipped kitchens, two spacious living rooms, two dining areas, and private exterior-only stairs leading to the upper level, everyone has room to spread out while still enjoying quality time together. Each kitchen features bar seating, making it easy to gather for morning coffee, afternoon snacks, or happy hour after a day at the beach. The bright, beach-inspired décor, updated granite countertops, renovated bathrooms, and thoughtful upgrades throughout create a welcoming coastal atmosphere you'll love coming home to.
The upper level features a king bedroom with a new mattress (January 2025), a guest bedroom with a twin-over-full bunk bed, a renovated full bathroom with a walk-in shower, a fully stocked kitchen with bar seating, a dining area with ocean views, a comfortable living room with a sleeper sofa, and a new stackable washer and dryer (January 2025).

Whether you're gathering together or enjoying a little downtime, everyone will have their favorite place to relax. With six Smart TVs throughout the home—one in each of the four bedrooms and one in each living room—there's plenty of entertainment for every guest.
Outside, your private backyard is designed for vacation mode. Take a dip in the private heated pool, stream your favorite playlist through the outdoor Sonos speaker system using your own device, fire up the grill for an evening cookout, or enjoy a true open-air experience in the private outdoor shower. We've also included beach chairs, umbrellas, and pool floats, making your beach days effortless from the moment you arrive. Best of all, the beach is only 53 steps away, so you can go from the pool to the sand in moments.
Bring your furry family members along too! Mermaid's Playground welcomes up to two dogs with no weight limit (pet fee applies), so no one has to miss out on the fun.

The Beauty of New Smyrna Beach
New Smyrna is a barrier island positioned between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River. The beaches of New Smyrna stretch over 13 miles along the sandy east coast of Central Florida. Water activities abound. New Smyrna is the surfing capital of Florida-- try it yourself or watch the locals ride the big waves near the jetties. Play in the surf, gather seashells, or build a sandcastle with your kids or grandkids. From Ponce de Leon Inlet, you can embark on a great deep-sea fishing adventure. Or choose to stay closer to the shore for excellent flats fishing in Mosquito Lagoon, famous for its redfish.
Though New Smyrna is a small historic town, the city offers a wide selection of shopping, dining, and cultural experiences for both its residents and guests. From beachside burger joints to restaurants serving fresh local seafood, there's something for everyone.
