We really enjoyed our stay here! I loved the master bedroom! Very spacious! We enjoyed all the front porches and the seating areas in the outdoor area under the house.
The hosts were very responsive and helpful. The house was clean and the checkin/checkout process was seamless. I do suggest the fire put to be moved and pulled out from where it is sitting as the smoke/smell funnels up the stairs when used. If we go back to Fort Morgan, this will most definitely be at the top of the list to stay again.
The Blue Mermaid was a very clean and spacious home and was a great value for our family. It was very convenient with access to the beach, pools and local attractions. It was quiet and well maintained. The hosts, David and Jill were very responsive to our questions. In the words of my Grandson, it deserves 500 stars.

David and Jill were amazing hosts who communicated in a timely and efficient manner. From the moment you walk in, you can tell that they take pride in their home through the cleanliness and tasteful, modern beach decor which makes for a welcoming space. The Blue Mermaid was well-stocked; the hosts truly thought of it all to make it a comfortable stay for all guests (kids to grandparents to pups).
With the beach only a short walk away, we were able to easily break up our fun in the sun and the multiple pools and tropical grounds surrounding The Blue Mermaid were well-maintained.
Great communication combined with a relaxing environment, can't get much better than that! We would definitely rebook The Blue Mermaid for a future vacation in Gulf Shores and would recommend to friends and family.
White sand and clear water. Home offers great beach items and will get you items that need to be replaced. We had nice chairs, new canopy and wagon for our stay! Short walk to beach, plus a separate access where you can drive and park.
Home is beautiful, clean and spacious. Nice, comfortable furnishings and mattresses in all rooms. Loved all the decks/porches! Nice griil/smoker! Cold AC. Ceiling fans in all bedrooms. TVs in all but one bedroom.
Kitchen: WOW. Spacious. Pantry. Spice Rack full of spices!!!! Ice maker under counter, plus fridge ice maker!! Two coffee makers, ninja blender, nice cookwhere. Absolutely eveything a cook could need.
Owners were the best!
Quiet neighborhood and only 5 minute drive to Dollar General. Highly recommend this home!
The fully stocked kitchen, the toys for the kids, beach wagon, beach chairs and umbrellas was perfect. I can't say enough good things about this place and the attention to details that was offered to us. Thank you for the perfect stay.
Enjoyed the home. Everyone had there own space. Love the open space when we all gathered together for meals. Nice and clean. Walk to beach not bad. Pool was a hit with the grandkids. Wonderful time by all.
The only thing we found difficult to negotiate were the steep and narrow stairs to access the house. They were a little scary when you were hauling things into or out of the house.
The neighborhood was just right for us; it's out of the way of the throngs but convenient to everything one could need or want to do with young children or teens. There are restaurants and supplies readily available less than 5 minutes away, as well as only 15-20 minutes to the main area of Gulf Shores. So time on our short stay was efficiently spent essentially at home away from home. Our teen girls absolutely loved being able to safely walk down to the beach and being literally right next to the extra-clean, illuminated pool. Our 9-year old boy enjoyed the decks and streaming his shows to the big TV in the living room. The night-time beach walks under the full moon were also a high point for him. The washer and dryer worked great as well so we left with freshly packed bags having thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
