Great for family!

The house had plenty of room. We loved the outside porch and the little private beach area was perfect for our grandbabies. The water was shallow and they were able to build sandcastles and even saw a crab and some hermit crabs. we had a great time and would highly recommend.

Nice, relaxing stay

Home was clean and looked like pictures. We enjoyed fishing from the very shallow water and catching crabs. Nice place to curl up and read a book. Neighbor was kind as well.

Lovely Lagoon Vacation

My whole family enjoyed the stay. House had plenty of space, towels, and fun activities. We enjoyed the shallow water off the dock. My daughter caught dozens of hermits crabs, a few lizards, and a crab or two. Water was warm early in the season which was nice. Water was calm and clear when the wind wasn’t too bad. Everyone wants to return again next year.

Lovely home just perfect for our family vacation

We stayed here for a week with our children and grandchildren (5 adults and 2 small children). The layout of the home was perfect. The beds were comfortable. The view from the living area/screened porch just can’t be beat! The kitchen was the best equipped kitchen of any rental we’ve ever stayed at. The small beach area just down the stairs was perfect for our kiddos (6 and 3 years old). We all enjoyed floating and relaxing in the shallow water. We did have one problem with the TV, and the property managers responded right away to fix the problem. We highly recommend this lovely home.

Perfect House

Overall we had a wonderful stay! The house was clean and provided everything we needed for our stay. The view from the screened in porch was wonderful. The kids were able to swim & fish in the little lagoon. It was perfect if you didn't want to go to the beach everyday. We did visit the beach access off Mobile Street about 4 minutes down the road. The beach area was great. The entrance to the driveway is a little hard to find & see at first and at night time. It could use a little something to stand out at the street. We would absolutely stay here again.

Mermaids Cottage great view, gorgeous home.

Location on the Lagoon is perfect! Mermaids home is very comfortable. Pictures are accurate. Location on the highway is too near a curve especially pulling a trailer. Driveway is not easy to locate needs a sign or something to catch your eye. Mermaid's gravel driveway needs grading! Dock is for sunbathing not docking a boat. Water in lagoon is too low with very short pier. Owners' car blocked two parking spaces under home and Hobie Cat is taking a third parking spot. Our Harley Trike got 4th spot. Car went in yard. Screen porch is solidly built, comfortable, furnished nice, but floorboards allowed gnats inside which bit me. Screen door did not fit door frame also allowing bugs inside. Garbage cans have no lids which wild animals enjoyed by spreading the last tenant's trash across the front yard. Toilets are super low and tiny made to train 2-year-olds. We would stay again just for the home and the view. Parking on the beach is $15 everyday everywhere.

We had a great stay here. Rooms were comfy and we had plenty of space. The small lagoon area was nice. Stayed shallow for a large area. Kitchen was well supplied for cooking. We stayed over the 4th of July. We were able to see many fireworks from Gulf Shores. The pier official ones, along with private ones being set off along Little Lagoon. Overall a great week!

Peaceful family vacation spot!

My family and I were in search of a property that we could relax and spend some quality time together and visit some family in the area that we haven’t seen in a while and this place definitely provided that! With the property being on Little Lagoon, it was off the main Gulf which was nice because it was more chill than being on the main beach area. It was very clean and we had plenty of space for everyone to spread out and hang out when we weren’t exploring the area and visiting family. I would definitely recommend this place for those wanting a peaceful place to stay close to the main beach and tourist areas but not directly in the busy areas! If we come back, we’d stay here again!

Gene's Mermaid was the perfect house for our stay. We loved the location. It's conveniently close to all the things but secluded enough to be in our our own space. It was clean and comfortable. The kitchen has about everything you could need. The kids loved playing in the lagoon. It was clean and shallow -- only knee high for about 100 yards. 200 yards to get chest high. We loved our stay and hope to come back someday!

Ideal beach getaway

This was such a great rental for a weekend beach getaway with a few friends. The property is very close to local beaches and attractions, but provides its own little retreat on the lagoon as well. My friends and I would love to come stay again!
