Spacious accommodations in a quiet neighborhood. Great for families. The heated pool was terrific and the hosts were very accommodating, they brought the water temperature up a few degrees because the weather was a little cooler than we had expected. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay at Mermaid Gardens!

Great Stay little Beach getaway

Mermaid Bay was fantastic - easy check-in, great communication and all of the amenities that you need. They had more than enough toiletries and extras for the bathrooms. We were happy to use the beautiful pool and enjoy the screened in porch. It was really windy one day and the owner came over and got leaves out of the pool. It is close to a lot of stuff and easy to access! Highly recommend

Perfect house for our entire family

We had a great stay at the Mermaid House and excellent communication with our host April. The sleeping accommodations worked out, and we especially enjoyed the spaciousness of the covered patio and poolside area. My five grandchildren loved the pool and its many toys. The location was near stores and services and a short drive to our wedding at the Addison in Boca. We highly recommend it.

The hosts are absolutely amazing! Always checking in and seeing if you need anything. The house has such amazing extra touches: shampoo, conditioner, and soap in all bathrooms. Spices, condiments, and kitchen supplies at the ready. The pool is warm and has some kids extras (snorkels, noodles, toys). Everything you need to have an amazing vacation.
