For true Southern Living and if only the best will do, this beautiful Island vacation home is for you! Being only one house from the lovely beaches of Anna Maria Island and three houses to Tampa Bay you can enjoy all the waterways the Island has to offer! This is a historical cottage that has been totally remodeled for your enjoyment. Marmalade Mermaid is not even 100 steps to the beach access and the crystal blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico, fringed with seven miles of white sand beach which stretches out in a gentle curve in both directions. Marmalade Mermaid is only three houses from Tampa Bay where you can put in your paddleboards or kayaks easily. This home is near Leffis Key so you can paddle many mangrove lines and see loads of wildlife. Since this home is a historical cottage, the windows do not open throughout the home.

This is our second time going to the marmalade mermaid house and we were not disappointed! It is very spacious and clean. We can’t wait to go back next year! We love this place!
We had a great time at this property. We are a family of 6 with small children and we loved it. Near the beach, near shopping and restaurants, quiet at night. Thank you for a wonderful time.
My family had a wonderful vacation staying in this cute beach house. The house was very clean and has everything you need. The location is great. The beaches were beautiful. Duncan Reality were very easy to work with and always answered any questions. We hope to be back to very soon.
Our family (7 adults) recently stayed at Marmalade Mermaid and loved it! Walking distance to our favorite beach as well as our favorite shopping, dining, nigh life locations. House had plenty of room and we loved having 3 full baths as well as an outdoor shower and hot tub. All that and being right across the street from the beach made it the prefect place for our family vacation. We will be back!

Awesome beach cottage.
Great week at the beach. We loved the cottage - only complaint would be that the A/C in the main part never cooled the bedrooms. The 3rd bedroom had a separate system and was a great temperature. Would definitely rent again !
My family had a great stay at this amazing property. Steps to the beach with Bahamas style water! Zero complaints, had everything we needed for a convenient and comfortable stay. The pool was enjoyed by all. Great communication with Petra from Duncan! Will book with Duncan Real Estate again for next year! From my entire family, THANK YOU!!!!
We stayed in this house with another family and we all loved the house. It is an older house that is updated and has a great floor plan. The large living room, dining area, and kitchen flows together well. Drinking coffee on the wrap around porch was enjoyable. The beach is just a short walk away. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance as well. We have gone south for many spring breaks in the past and this was one of our favorites.
This house will definitely be a repeat for us!! It was just perfect!! Decorated so colorful, plenty of space and just steps away from the beach and the bay!!!
Not on the main drag that is beach front but it’s nice because it’s very quiet!
We had an issue with a couple of things but management made sure all was taken care of very quickly!
We will definitely return!
We enjoyed our stay at Marmalade Mermaid. It is a quaint beach cottage. It is bigger than it looks and the cottage is clean and well-furnished and decorated with a coastal theme. Plenty of room for our family of seven. We really enjoyed the wrap-around porch. It is a convenient location very close to the beach and a number of restaurants and shops - easy walking distance. The management company was helpful and responsive. We would stay at the cottage again.
Loved the Marmalade Mermaid. There were a couple of issues when we arrived, but had been communicated to us prior to arrival. These were taken care of quickly and went above and beyond our satisfaction. Lovely cottage and super comfortable. Throughly enjoyed the spa pool.

You will be so pleased with this property!
Our family of 8 stayed at this property over Christmas. It was absolutely perfect for us! 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms gave us plenty of space. Home is clean and charming. It was our first of hopefully many visits to Anna Maria Island and we would happily stay at this property again. The house is just across the street from a beautiful white sand beach with clear water. Home is nicely equipped with everything you need. Duncan Real Estate is a pleasure to work with and made everything easy from start to finish.
In a nice location. For the most part, a really nice house. They are having some plumbing issues in the back bathroom. Being an older house, it doesn’t stay as cool as it should and you can’t turn the ac down under 75 per their rules. Other than that, the house is beautiful, was pretty clean, and was a nice place to spend our week.
What a lovely home!!! Perfect location with porch views of the sunset. Quaint seaside decors. Linen on beds and towels were excellent. Kitchen was extremely well equipped. Lovely back yard with swings and hammock. So clean when we arrived. Comfortable and spacious seating areas. All furnitures in good repair. Lovely decor. Only difficulty was activating the TV sets and WiFi’s which required multiple calls - and two TVs not functional. We had a great visit!! Thank you :)
Beautiful house and location! We enjoyed our stay and we felt very comfortable at the house. They have a nice outside shower on the side of the house, a foot shower in the front of the house, a nice spa pool. The rooms were nice and each had their own full bath. It made it very comfortable with my four kids and mom. They had all kinds of toys, chairs and boogie boards. The porch was nice and the kids loved the porch swing. Overall amazing stay. The beach was beautiful and right across the road. Just loved everything about the house, the beach, and the stay. Can’t wait to go back! Duncan real estate was also very attentive and we felt that if anything was wrong they would help immediately. Highly recommend! 10/10!
We're not a "sit at the beach" family, but enjoy all the activities that surround it. So this location was perfect...a few minutes we were at the beach (lots of chairs from the house to use) and then within a short drive to LB, had free pickleball and a canoe/paddleboard launch to enjoy the calm intercoastal water! The House layout was perfect - one big open room and comfortable BRs. The outside hammock was amazing! Liked not sharing the grounds w/ another family. Manager was very responsive to a few small requests. Overall wonderful stay!
This is a beautiful and comfortable home and we enjoyed our stay immensely! It was literally steps from the beach. The pool was a nice bonus. Between the AC and the fans in every room, the house stayed at a comfortable temperature, even at 90 degrees outside. The porch and the swimspa were great. We loved all the decor. Duncan Realty were great to deal with, from start to finish. Thank you!!
We had a group of 8 and we had plenty of space. Easy access to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay here and will book it for our next trip to Florida.
Great location, house is dates but clean- great time!
Great place - open floor plan- plenty of room to move around and relax. Across the street is the beach. Hot tub was a bonus- family really enjoyed it- sat on the porch at night - coffee in the morning. GREAT
