HOME HIGHLIGHTS
-Dazzling Gulf views
-Steps to quiet beach access
-Private pool with waterfall feature **Pool heating avail Oct 1-May 1 for $50 per day**
-Newly renovated and fully refurnished
-Patio area with gas grill
-4 Adult bikes
-Parking for up to 5 vehicles
-Covered front porches on all three levels
-Fast WiFi and cable, friendly for remote work

Mermaid's Retreat 30A is the perfect escape, with an unbeatable location just 100 steps from the beach access and along 30A between Alys Beach and the Hub. The 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath home sleeps 12 in beds and features a fully fenced in private pool, four complimentary adult bikes, new transitional/coastal decor, and gorgeous views of the sparkling Gulf from the third floor lookout.

The kitchen has everything needed for indoor entertaining, including stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a drip coffee maker and Keurig, crock pot, and brand new dishes and utensils. There is seating for 12 between the dining table (8) and bar (4). Plenty of counter space and an open living concept makes cooking and entertaining a pleasure!

The home is fully equipped for families to spend quality time together, with a wide assortment of puzzles, books, kids books, DVDs and board games. For sports and TV time, the home has 6 TVs, with the largest (65") in the living room and a TV and DVD player in each bedroom. For those traveling with the younger set, we include worry-free plastic plates, cups and utensils, two baby gates, a pack and play and mattress, and booster seat. Additionally, there are no worries about safety, as exterior cameras are in place.

Mermaids Retreat 30A is located on scenic 30A, perfect for watching bike riders and viewing the beautiful Emerald Coast. Laid in a quiet residential area but close to all of the action, the home is located within walking distance to Alys Beach and The Hub (~1 mile, 5-7 min bike ride), which provide great family entertainment and numerous restaurants. The location is also only a short 3-5 minute bike ride from Camp Creek coastal dune lake and a 10 minute bike ride to Rosemary, with its incredible Sunday Farmers Market. Four adult bikes are provided for your convenience.

Now for the best part, the BEACH! Mermaids Retreat 30A is only a 45 second walk to a breathtaking quiet beach by way of the beach access across the street. There you will find the sugar white sands and crystal clear waters of the Emerald Coast. This is one of the best perks of the house as you and your companions can use the provided chairs and umbrellas to quickly go from the front door to having your toes in the sand, with the ease of running back and forth for lunch or a quick dip in the pool. The neighborhood beach access effectively serves the surrounding homes down Seacrest drive and has no golf cart parking, making it less crowded than many areas along 30A. You'll never be three rows deep here.

Wonderful Stay
We loved our stay in Seacrest. It was our first time to the area and we will definitely return.The house was beautiful and had all the amenities we needed. We stayed here with 3 families and it worked out great; each family basically got their own floor. The kitchen was very well stocked with plenty of dishes, cookware, and utensils. The location was also perfect. The host was responsive and helpful. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Excellent Accommodation! Wonderful hosts! Would easily recommend!
We stayed at this wonderful property for five nights January-February, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The home was clean and well-appointed and had plenty of space for the four adults and five children that made up our party. The location is excellent with access to the beach pretty much right across the street. The pool was awesome when we were not hanging out at the beach. I'm so glad we found this place. The arrival/check-in process was a breeze, and Troy was a kind, communicative host. We had everything we needed for our stay. I would recommend this property and host to anyone!

Excellent!
Wonderful experience! Easy booking process, great communication with answering all our questions leading up to our vacation too. We had 12 people in our group with ages of children from 5-10. Walking distance to beach! Owners gave restaurant recommendations too. Also checked on us while we were there to make sure things were ok and if we needed anything. We will definitely be back!

Perfect family getaway
The home was great. Tons of space for our large family of 11. The location was ideal. We spent everyday at the beach which was a quick walk from the home. The kitchen is super well stocked and all the beds were comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Troy and Mandy are great hosts. They communicated with us in a timely fashion. Would recommend this rental as a great place to stay in the Rosemary Beach area.

Excellent Beach House!
The property was beautiful and very clean. The outdoor space and pool was amazing and there were lots of beach and pool toys and accessories available. Very quick walk to the beach and there were plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, and beach wagon included with the house. My kids loved it! Communication was fantastic. Couldn’t recommend more!

Family Beach Vacation
Our family just recently had a wonderful time at The Mermaid’s Retreat. We had our two sons/daughter in laws and four grands four years old and under. The beach house had everything we needed. If you have younger children staying here Troy and Mandy have thought of everything: toys, pack and plays, stair gate, beach toys, etc. We had plenty of room to spread out comfortably. We loved the pool after a day at the beach which is only a short distance away. They even provided a wagon to carry our gear to the beach. Our family of ten will be back in the future. We loved your place. Thank you so much from Texas. 😎

Family Beach Vacation
Fantastic location just across the street from the beach and biking distance from the quaint little towns. The pool was a big plus with our three grandchildren. For the cost, we would have expected more personal amenities like toilet paper, laundry detergent, dish soap, paper towels etc. Great having the four bikes provided, but they need some maintenance for the rusted chains that would fall off. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, given the fact we chose mid-August and its excessive heat..Daytime pool and evening beach time worked best.

OUTSTANDING!!!
This home is amazing and was absolutely perfect for my husband, me & 6 teenagers. It was clean, the beds were very comfortable, the n’hood was safe & quiet, the pool was clean and refreshing…..& IT LITERALLY TAKES LESS THAN ONE MINUTE TO GO FROM YOUR BED TO THE BEACH!!!! No golf cart needed! We used bikes and our vehicles to go shopping, to restaurants, etc.,. We couldn’t have had a better experience!
