Wildlife Reminder:
Florida’s natural beauty comes with wildlife. You might spot lizards, iguanas, raccoons, or other critters around. Bugs like ants and palmetto bugs are part of life here, even with pest control. Keep doors shut to help keep them out! In the ocean, stay aware of jellyfish, stingrays, and other sea life.

Whether you're here for sunshine, sandcastles, or just some peace and quiet, Mermaid Manor is ready to welcome you. Book your stay today and get ready to make some magic by the sea.

Absolutely perfect

Everything was as advertised and the property manager was in constant communication regarding any issues (we didn't have any, but they texted daily anyway). We will definitely come back again. Highly recommend this for families. We were a family of 11 (9 adults and 2 teenage girls) and there was tons of space for everyone to be together and have their own quiet space.

Perfect Family Friendly Home

Our family had a great visit! The home was very well appointed. I so appreciated having access to so many amenities and appliances to make our stay even more comfortable. We had plenty of space for our family of six and had our in-laws (2 adults, 13yo, 10yo) stay a few days with us as well and everyone had plenty of room. Close walk to the beach and warm pool made for some tired kiddos in the evenings. Would highly recommend!

Wonderful family vacation

Our vacation at Mermaid Manor was wonderful. We had four generations of our family on this vacation. Great grandpa wanted to take quiet naps and our 2 year old great grand daughter wanted to stay in the pool all day. The layout of the house allowed for everyone to have their own space- inside and out. The house has EVERYTHING you can think of needing while on vacation. We had 4 children with us (4 months, 23 months, 4yo and 7yo). The stairs have very nice baby gates provided (built in). The kitchen was stocked with every utensil you would need for any type of food preparation. The decor was beautiful. We've rented beach houses before and they were just like any other house. With Mermaid Manor you knew you were at the beach! Every bedroom had a theme - starfish, turtle, seahorse....and a bathroom to match. There were plenty of towels/linens/pool towels and a very nice, well stocked laundry room to wash clothes as needed. This is always a plus with kids! We enjoyed being such a short walk from a very private, quiet beach. It was nice to be able to relax without a crowd like other beaches. The host even provides a wagon and beach chairs. The garage has a ping pong and foosball table. Unfortunately, it was too hot to be in the garage- even at night. The house is close to everything - a public pier to walk out on or do some fishing, shopping and a variety of tours and restaurants. Honestly, we could not have picked a better place than Mermaid Manor with access to activities.
