30A Escapes presents... Mermaid Cove

- Gulf Front Townhome 
- Just Steps to the Beach 
- 5 Minute Bike Ride to Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach 
- 1 Minute Walk to Community Pool

Located off the iconic Scenic Highway 30A, nestled between Alys and Seagrove Beaches; Mermaid Cove, a Seacrest townhome vacation rental, is a hidden gem offering expansive Gulf front views. Close enough to hop on one of your bikes and ride to Rosemary’s most pristine shops and restaurants, but secluded enough to really get away from it all. This 2 bedroom, 2 ½ bathroom end unit Seacrest Beach vacation townhouse provides sleeping for six, and parking for two.

Kick off the party on the back patio! With picturesque Gulf views as your backdrop, dining area; or the EFFORTLESS beach access just steps from your back door! A pool is also provided for your enjoyment, found at the east end of the community.

Mermaid Cove’s recent renovations provide a stylish comfort sure to put your mind at ease. With an open concept main living space, you’ll be able to take in the views from every inch of this townhouse. The first floor provides a free-flowing kitchen, dining and living area; with stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, ample room for everyone at the large dining table, and brand new living furniture to lounge around in.

Making your way to the second level sleeping quarters, where two bedrooms provide sleeping for up to six. The bunk room, on the north side of the townhouse, has a twin over full bunk, trundle twin, private balcony and private bathroom. Lots of laughs will be made by the kids while they snuggle up with their favorite movie. You’ll catch up on some well needed rest in the GULF FRONT master suite, furnished with a king size bed and en suite; or drink in the sunrise with a warm cup of coffee from the private master balcony.

Impressive!

Clean, cute, and comfortable! A great rental for couples or small family. Tastefully decorated, stocked kitchen, views were incredible, shopping and restaurants were super close and the beach couldn’t be more accessible. We loved it and are already planning on coming back.

For the price we paid, we expected a much higher standard. Unfortunately, the property had a faulty door that let bugs in constantly during the love bug season. The rental company offered no option to cancel with a refund, leaving us stuck in an uncomfortable situation. Traveling with our 4-month-old, it was far from ideal to have bugs inside the rental. While the location itself was fine, the condition of the property was extremely disappointing. I would not stay here again and cannot recommend it until these issues are properly addressed.

Our favorite place on 30A

This is our second time staying at Mermaid Cove and it was just as great as the first. We love the location. It is perfectly situated right on the beach. Perfect for those with little ones who dont want to drag a ton of stuff to the beach and walk a long way. We had plenty of room for our group of 4. The property was clean and tidy and beds and pillows were comfortable. Communication with the management was fantastic. We will absolutely be staying here again in the future.

Wonderful location away from the crowds but close enough to swing in to town for meals, etc. My only complaint would be the 9:30 am check out, we have never had to leave a place so early.

Exceptional Location

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect location! We beach vacation yearly and both the view and proximity of the ocean were, by far, the best we've experienced! Communication with the property manager was quick and efficient. The interior was tastefully decorated and clean. We would consider staying at this location in the future!

Great Beach Condo

This lovely end unit condo is located on a private beach. There is a private staircase for the condos to access the white sands that make this area of the gulf so beautiful. We enjoyed watching the dolphins every morning while drinking our coffee on the patio. It’s close to a Publix for groceries and all the delicious dining options you want to try along 30a. We will definitely book again when in the area.

Can’t Beat the View!

Love this place! It had everything we needed and you cannot beat the view and the accessibility to the beach! We had one little hiccup when we tripped a breaker switch and couldn’t reset because the circuit box is in a locked closet. We contacted the property manager through the after hours call service & he came out & helped right away. The rest of the stay was smooth sailing & we had a great time. Would definitely book this again.

Super clean

This was a clean house. We are pretty particular about the cleanliness of a rented house. We had no complaints here. Everything was in place and you could still smell the bleach. It was great! Excellent location, beach wasn’t crowded, and our family loved the bikes.
