Lovely home and location

Lovely house. Very comfortable and well stocked. Really enjoyed the swim spa. I'm recovering from a broken shoulder and shattered patella and bought some foam water weights to do PT in the spa. So much more fun in the water.

Beauty in the water

We loved staying at the mermaid house. In the morning we sat on the blue bar stools reading our Bible. Every morning there was an egret, great Blue heron, and an anhingha. The fish were jumping, too. The place was very comfortable and well equipped. The owners were very responsive to questions. Couldn’t ask for more.

Awesome all the Way Around

Whether we were sitting outside enjoying the view or sitting inside watching something on Netflix, we were relaxing. Loved the openness of the main living area. I could prepare a meal while still be included in the conversation. Communication with our hosts was always handled in a timely fashion. I do miss my bird friends. They gave me the opportunity to capture some nest photos.

Hurricane Idalia Cut Vacation Short

We were impressed with the house and location (easy to get to Gulf waters). The guys were excited to catch fish off the dock too. We enjoyed one night at the house (with the beautiful sunset) and made a 14 mile trip into the gulf waters that first morning. After arriving back at the house, I noticed that we were under a mandatory evacuation zone. Disappointed with the weather only. So thankful the house survived the hurricane so we can return to the Mermaid House. Working with Don was easy. He processed our refund quickly (due to mandatory evacuation).
