Neighborhood Overview:
The Mermaid Castle is located in a residential area towards the south end of the island.
Within a mile or two, there is a Harris Teeter grocery store and several great restaurants such as Pogo’s Kitchen, Lagniappe, and Marche Burette. The Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort and Ritz Carlton are also close by – you can access some of their amenities such as restaurants, the “Shops at Amelia Island Plantation,” the Ritz spa, and the Omni’s marsh front golf course even though the Mermaid Castle has no affiliation with them.
North of the Mermaid Castle, you will find Main Beach which features the Salt Life and Sandbar Kitchen restaurants, a playground, and beachside putt putt golf. From there, Amelia Island`s downtown historic district is just a short drive down Atlantic Avenue. There you will find plenty of wonderful restaurants, shopping, nightlife, and local culture. Fort Clinch State Park is also located along Atlantic Avenue. The park features the 19th century Fort Clinch (still open to the public for tours), a great beach, and lots of beautiful trails for hiking or biking.
Amelia Island State Park and the Big & Little Talbot State Parks are all located to the south of the house. Boneyard Beach in Big Talbot State Park is extremely unique and worth a trip. Kelly’s Seahorse Ranch is located adjacent to Amelia Island State Park and offers guided beach horseback rides directly from the oceanfront ranch.

loved our stay at the Mermaid castle. The house was beautiful and had amazing views. Its steps from the beach so we were able to be back and forth from the water without breaking a sweat. The host was amazing and responded to questions in a timely manner and even came out to the property for some quick maintenance that was requested. 100% would book again.
Great place to stay. We had 4 couples there for a week. The layout has great views and plenty of space. The owners are very responsive to questions and everything was as expected.
The house was gorgeous, well stocked, and the location was right on the beach. Construction a going on next door but that was disclosed ahead of time and we really didn’t notice the noise much at all. Definitely somewhere we would stay again!
The Mermaid Castle was perfect. Very well appointed and just as advertised. It was the best stocked kitchen I have ever stayed in. Views were killer, especially from the roof deck. Beds were comfortable and the AC unit worked wonderfully and kept the house very comfortable. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this wonderful house.
First class property that was very enjoyable for our entire family. Views of the beach amazing, watch the sunrise from almost every room, and great decks to have cocktails.Owners great with instructions and touching base to make sure everything was going well with our visit.
Fantastic house and even better location! The views are stunning and the house is better than advertised. Hosts were quick with communications and the check-in/check-out procedures were a breeze. Would definitely rent again next time we're on the island.
This property was amazing. Beautiful views from all levels. Awesome beach access. Was perfect for our extended family to gather. Property manager was extremely attentive in answering questions, etc. We would definitely stay here again and we would highly recommend to others.
The property is beautiful. the location to the beach is excellent. The sunrises were awesome to watch from the master suite. the main floor is set up perfectly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay
Celebrated 60 at the Mermaid Castle with Girlfriends. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked and beach views amazing. Perfect retreat for a family or friend holiday together with many private areas to have alone time if needed. The sunrise from the top terrace was spectacular!
We had a great time celebrating the new year at your property. The house is beautiful in an outstanding location. The home had all the amenities to make our stay comfortable. Thank you for hosting us.
Beautiful house with excellent ocean views and beach access. Very clean with updated kitchen and baths. Great for family gatherings or for several couples. Everything was top-notch. We had a fantastic time there.
The property was great. It was well appointed with an amazing view. It should be noted, however, that there are lots of steps which could be challenging for the elderly and physically challenged individuals. Otherwise it is a perfect getaway.
The house is beautiful and accurately described in the pictures. Our extended family was able to spread out and gather together as needed and everyone had a lovely private space. Kitchen has everything we needed. The area is quiet and not crowded- we felt like we had our own private beach with stunning sunrises.
We had a wonderful getaway. The house was absolutely perfect. It was right on the ocean, which made for gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. Very clean and updated! Book this rental because you will not be disappointed!
The photos don’t do it justice. It truly is beautiful.

Great spot but be advised
Places is great. Beautiful house, cool beach location. But be advised there is construction going on, so if you don’t like waking up at 7 am you will not like this place until they are done with the major work.
This is a beautiful property with gorgeous views! There was plenty of room for our large family group to spread out but also plenty of room for us to gather for meals, conversation, and game time. The roof top deck was perfect for relaxing and for family photos! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook large breakfasts. The property was clean. The host was readily available and responded to messages promptly. We would definitely stay here again!
This house has everything and is gorgeous! The amazing walks on the beach for the sunrise were stunning! Jenny was a dream to communicate with. The most memorable is the master wing! We didn't want to leave!
We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the property. The house is amazing and the view incredible. Everything from check in to check out went very well. We had a few small issues, but Matt took care them almost immediately. We will return one day to enjoy the house, beach, sunshine and great weather again.
Great beach house for a group! We had 10 people and never felt crowded. The home is right on the beach and well equipped. It’s about a 1 min walk to the beach (right out the back door) and 15 min car ride to downtown. The hosts were great and communicative. We never needed anything during our stay. Would recommend!
The house and views are stunning! The house was well equipped for 10 adults, and we cooked several meals in the wonderful kitchen. We enjoyed walking on the beach and used the beach chairs and umbrellas. Even saw dolphins one morning from the balcony.
The only issue we had was we could not locate extra linens for the fold out couch beds.
Overall great stay and would certainly recommend!
What a beautiful and perfectly appointed beach house! Great work spaces, too, which was very helpful to my husband and me who had to work during most of our stay. The beach is fantastic for walking. The only downside for us, which is not the fault of the owners at all, is that the house is not near the downtown area which is really charming, so every time we went out for dinner we had a 15-20 minute drive. But overall, the house was ideal!
We thoroughly enjoyed our fall break. The large windows make you feel like you are truly escaping to paradise. The view of the dune and ocean is breathtaking. We enjoyed the roof top deck for Star gazing and privacy of having few homes/condos around. Beach access was very easy. We had a minor maintenance issues resolved within minutes of making managers aware.
