This beach themed bungalow is located in the hub of Indian Rocks Beach. Within walking distance to everything you need and steps to the Gulf of Mexico Beach. This relaxing retreat is one of only two units available (convenient if you want to bring more friends or family). It was completely remodeled in 2025 with new furniture and stocked with all the comforts of home. Plus a FUN 3 hole mini golf putting green was installed for our guests to enjoy!!!
Featuring a full kitchen, living room, and two bedrooms that include a KING size and queen size bed. The kitchen was remodeled with new white cabinets, granite counter tops, a large kitchen sink, and all new appliances…including a dishwasher.
This piece of paradise has a private tropical backyard so you can enjoy sipping on your morning coffee, or snacking on some local take out while sitting at your own outside patio table. Also enjoy the front yard area while sitting on oversized lounge chairs or relaxing in the hammock.

We had a wonderful visit. Easy walk to the beach, condo well maintained, great communication with the host. The mini golf outside and beach supplies were a huge bonus!! We would definitely return!
Great location.. walking distance to the beach and multiple restaurants. Off the beach so very peaceful. Owner attentive to all details which made for a phenomenal stay!
Really enjoyed our stay here, everything u need for a beach trip. Short walk to beach and local places to eat. Host was very cooperative and checked on us before and during the stay. Would HIGHLY recommend !
Lovely cozy and comfortable place offering great entertainment options at the house and for the beach! Quiet family friendly location with beach entrance down the street and plenty of dining and grocery options near by. The host Sabrina is most helpful and a delight.
Samatha was great to work with. She was concerned about us being well cared for during our stay. IR was a great beach and area restaurants were wonderful. Can easily walk to the beach and only a short drive to a major grocery store.
This place was perfect for us. It is so close to the beach. Maybe 3 minute walk. Restaurants within walking distance. Such a laid back quite peaceful beautiful place. We will definitely be returning. Sabrina was the best host I’ve came across in many years.
We had a wonderful stay at this property for our family vacation. The area was nice and quiet, easy access to the beach with maybe a 5 min walk. The apartment was loaded with everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. the outdoor sheds were filled with any and every beach supply you would ever need including coolers, umbrellas, chairs, beach toys. the outdoor put-put area was cute and the kids enjoyed it. Also there was a private fenced in area off the second bedroom that was really nice. we made use of the grill for the 4th of July. The AC in the house did quit working during our stay but the owners were super responsive and had it fixed within hours. The check in process was super easy. All in all it was a wonderful stay!
This is our 3rd time renting a property from Sabrina and Bill as they have always been wonderful hosts and their properties are beautiful and well kept. We chose Mermaid's Cove as it was a 2-bedroom with a separate living/kitchen area and close to the beach (2min walk). Check-in was easy and instructions were provided the day of. The property had everything needed for an extended stay (2 weeks w. 2 children 10yo/8yo) and more. Kitchen was fully stocked with utensils and dinner/cookware and basic necessities such as coffee filters, sponges, soap, etc. The large window in the kitchen was wonderful to eat breakfast by. The living room was spacious and furniture was confortable (loved the couch/sectional). The bedrooms were the perfect size and included large closets which helped keep the rooms clutter free during the stay. The queen bedroom had a door leading to a private deck/walkout with a table and chairs. The king bedroom had more than enough space for 2 adults and empty suitcases etc. Bathroom was a good size and never felt cramped. Everything was clean on arrival with towels and extra bedding available. The vacuum/broom/dustpan came in handy for after the beach. I love that there is a separate laundry room and so many beach items available. Overall, the stay was excellent and we enjoyed our time there. We had a minor issue towards the end of our stay which resolved itself but Bill was very quick to respond. Hoping to book again for 2025 once our time off confirmed.
Wonderful little place near the Indian Rocks beach. It was exactly as shown in the pictures. Very clean with a fully stocked kitchen. Would stay there again.
This is our third time staying at Mermaid Cove and our family has loved it every time. My youngest couldn’t get enough of the backyard mini golf and my oldest couldn’t get enough of the beach. We wouldn’t hesitate booking for a fourth stay.
My wife and I justed wanted to relax for a long weekend, this was a great cottage. In a small town, very close to the beach and many very good restaurants. We didn't have to drive at all!!
Pictures just as shown - property very nice and clean - decorated beautifully! Nice comfortable place and close to the beach and restaurants - can't wait to visit again!
We had a wonderful time in IRB and a comfy stay at this cute spot! The hosts were super helpful, attentive and kind. Great spot, close to great restaurants and beach. Perfect getaway for our family!! Thank you for a memorable vacation!!
We loved this place! This property has a great location! You can easily walk to the beach and many restaurants! The apartment is very clean has everything you would need for your stay. Sabrina is a very accommodating host and we would definitely stay here again!
Had a wonderful time during our Thanksgiving trip! The property was perfect to enjoy our visit and time with friends. We were able to walk to so many local food places and the beach is literally right across the street! They also put in a putting green that was totally fun! Thank you for an amazing stay!
We had a "girls' getaway" week and stayed at this wonderful place! Location was perfect, the entire unit was super cute and very clean and communication with the host was super helpful. We loved the backyard, the bicycles, beach supplies and all of the other amenities included! Sure hope to be back again one day!
