Mermaid Lodge | Gulf-Front with Amazing Veiws | Steps to the Beach
Welcome to Mermaid Lodge, an exceptional Gulf-front retreat offered by Beach Bound Vacation Rentals, where refined coastal luxury meets the untouched beauty of Florida’s Forgotten Coast. Ideally positioned on the coveted North Cape San Blas, this expansive 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom, 3 half-bath coastal home offers 3,600 square feet of thoughtfully curated living space, designed to comfortably host families and groups—dogs included.
Just steps from the sugar-white sand and emerald Gulf waters, Mermaid Lodge is crafted for effortless beachfront living. Days are spent along the shoreline, while evenings invite relaxation in the private hot tub or around the outdoor fire pit beneath a canopy of stars. An outdoor shower and spacious mudroom make beach days seamless, while the private elevator ensures ease and convenience throughout the home. The main living level is both inviting and sophisticated, featuring soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and sweeping Gulf views. The living area offers plush seating, a 65` TV, and an electric fireplace—creating the perfect setting to unwind. The chef’s kitchen is designed for both beauty and functionality, complemented by a butler’s pantry that provides additional prep space and convenience for entertaining. The spacious dining area invites gathering and connection, whether enjoying a casual breakfast or a memorable family dinner. Step onto the Gulf-front balcony for alfresco dining and breathtaking sunset views. A well-appointed primary suite with a king bed and private balcony is also located on this level, offering a peaceful retreat. Each level of Mermaid Lodge features expansive Gulf-facing decks, providing the perfect setting for morning coffee, dolphin watching, and unforgettable sunsets. In the evenings, these elevated outdoor spaces transform into a front-row seat for star gazing along the quiet, unspoiled coastline. The second level features three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each designed with comfort and privacy in mind. A luxurious primary-style suite includes a private balcony and spa-inspired bathroom with a soaking tub, while an additional queen bedroom with crib and a spacious bunk room with two queen-over-queen beds provide flexible accommodations for families and guests. The top floor reveals the signature Mermaid Lounge—an elevated entertainment space with panoramic Gulf views. Complete with a wet bar, 65` TV, queen sleeper sofa, and half bath, this level is ideal for relaxing evenings, entertaining, or simply taking in the coastal scenery from above. Additional amenities include parking for up to six vehicles and a Tesla charger. Mermaid Lodge is dog-friendly, with accommodations for up to two dogs (fee applies), allowing your entire family to enjoy the coastal experience together.
