Spacious accommodations in a quiet neighborhood. Great for families. The heated pool was terrific and the hosts were very accommodating, they brought the water temperature up a few degrees because the weather was a little cooler than we had expected. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay at Mermaid Gardens!
The house was perfect for our family. April and Stefan are great hosts and we appreciated the fact they lived adjacent to the property. Very helpful. Ready to address any questions and knowledgeable about the area. The pool was perfect and heated. Loved the screened in porch for outdoor meals. Essential supplies provided. Would definitely rent again!
Great house. 3 bedeooms and office/suite room with pull out. Large living room with comfy sofas. Amazing retro kitchen and fabulous pool! Well stocked linens and kitchen pots and pans, dishes, etc. Would absolutely stay here again. My 9 and 10 year old were in heaven. Easy to get to and get around.
Mermaid Bay was fantastic - easy check-in, great communication and all of the amenities that you need. They had more than enough toiletries and extras for the bathrooms. We were happy to use the beautiful pool and enjoy the screened in porch. It was really windy one day and the owner came over and got leaves out of the pool.
It is close to a lot of stuff and easy to access! Highly recommend
Everything was wonderful. The host was responsive and accommodating to the needs of the entire family both adults and children. The home was spacious. The yard with pool heated was outstanding. Everything was clean and in orderI would go back.
My family and friends enjoyed the property, was clean and comfortable. We had a great time!!

What a great stay!
Loved this home away from home! Had everything we needed and April and Stefan checked with us regularly to see if we needed anything. Will definitely come back!
We loved the pool, the barbeque area, the yard, and the screened in porch! April and Stephan are incredible hosts! Everyone in our party had a memorable, fabulous time!
The property is located in perfect spot, close to beach, great food and shopping stores. Owners are very understanding and on the top of everything. I will definitely come back.

Owner was great, everything well labeled and very well supported.
Overall experienced was good, the owner was great. The home is a little dated, strange layout due to additions, but typical for this area. We enjoyed the area.
We had the best family vacation here! Kids hardly got out of the pool. Plenty of room for all 10 of us. Great communication with the owner. Close to everything. Definitely recommend this rental.

Thanks for your wonderful hospitality! House is great - very well stocked!
We had a great stay at the Mermaid House and excellent communication with our host April. The sleeping accommodations worked out, and we especially enjoyed the spaciousness of the covered patio and poolside area. My five grandchildren loved the pool and its many toys. The location was near stores and services and a short drive to our wedding at the Addison in Boca. We highly recommend it.
The hosts are absolutely amazing! Always checking in and seeing if you need anything. The house has such amazing extra touches: shampoo, conditioner, and soap in all bathrooms. Spices, condiments, and kitchen supplies at the ready. The pool is warm and has some kids extras (snorkels, noodles, toys). Everything you need to have an amazing vacation.
