Great spot for family trip

Had a great experience. Owner was extremely responsive. Great location, walking distance to almost everything we enjoyed. Really loved being able to park at front door and having pool right outside back door.

The Sassy Mermaid

The Sassy Mermaid condo was the perfect place for our vacation. All the amenities of home & more. The beach is only a few steps away. The pools were very clean & the grounds are very well maintained. We highly recommend this location for your next vacation.

Great stay!

I was hesitant to book this with it being new to VRBO and no reviews. Between VRBO and the owner, I felt much better. Everything was as stated! Great communication the whole time with owner about places to visit and such. Would highly recommend if you don’t mind a short walk to the beach!!
