Great for family!

The house had plenty of room. We loved the outside porch and the little private beach area was perfect for our grandbabies. The water was shallow and they were able to build sandcastles and even saw a crab and some hermit crabs. we had a great time and would highly recommend.

Great Stay

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid Cottage. The property is even better than the photos and floating out in the lagoon was extremely relaxing. Our toddlers had a great time looking for lizards and crabs all week.

Ideal beach getaway

This was such a great rental for a weekend beach getaway with a few friends. The property is very close to local beaches and attractions, but provides its own little retreat on the lagoon as well. My friends and I would love to come stay again!

Exceptional stay by the bay

This was such a wonderful house with everything we needed to make our trip just a little more relaxing. Everything was clean and prepped for up by check in time and Margaret, the host, was easy to communicate with. We’ll stay again if they’ll have us.

We had a great stay here. Rooms were comfy and we had plenty of space. The small lagoon area was nice. Stayed shallow for a large area. Kitchen was well supplied for cooking. We stayed over the 4th of July. We were able to see many fireworks from Gulf Shores. The pier official ones, along with private ones being set off along Little Lagoon. Overall a great week!
