    Located off the iconic Scenic Highway 30A, nestled between Alys and Seagrove Beaches; Mermaid Cove, a Seacrest townhome vacation rental, is a hidden gem offering expansive Gulf front views. Close enough to hop on one of your bikes and ride to Rosemary’s most pristine shops and restaurants, but secluded enough to really get away from it all. This 2 bedroom, 2 ½ bathroom end unit Seacrest Beach vacation townhouse provides sleeping for six, and parking for two.

    Kick off the party on the back patio! With picturesque Gulf views as your backdrop, dining area; or the EFFORTLESS beach access just steps from your back door! A pool is also provided for your enjoyment, found at the east end of the community.

    Mermaid Cove’s recent renovations provide a stylish comfort sure to put your mind at ease. With an open concept main living space, you’ll be able to take in the views from every inch of this townhouse. The first floor provides a free-flowing kitchen, dining and living area; with stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, ample room for everyone at the large dining table, and brand new living furniture to lounge around in.

    Making your way to the second level sleeping quarters, where two bedrooms provide sleeping for up to six. The bunk room, on the north side of the townhouse, has a twin over full bunk, trundle twin, private balcony and private bathroom. Lots of laughs will be made by the kids while they snuggle up with their favorite movie. You’ll catch up on some well needed rest in the GULF FRONT master suite, furnished with a king size bed and en suite; or drink in the sunrise with a warm cup of coffee from the private master balcony.

Mermaid Cove was fantastic! The place was clean and welcoming. The best part of course was the view. We loved seeing the water from everywhere in the house and beach access was perfect. We had a minor glitch with the internet but was fixed promptly. The host was very responsive.

Impressive!

Clean, cute, and comfortable! A great rental for couples or small family. Tastefully decorated, stocked kitchen, views were incredible, shopping and restaurants were super close and the beach couldn’t be more accessible. We loved it and are already planning on coming back.

Our favorite place on 30A

This is our second time staying at Mermaid Cove and it was just as great as the first. We love the location. It is perfectly situated right on the beach. Perfect for those with little ones who dont want to drag a ton of stuff to the beach and walk a long way. We had plenty of room for our group of 4. The property was clean and tidy and beds and pillows were comfortable. Communication with the management was fantastic. We will absolutely be staying here again in the future.

Great Beach Condo

This lovely end unit condo is located on a private beach. There is a private staircase for the condos to access the white sands that make this area of the gulf so beautiful. We enjoyed watching the dolphins every morning while drinking our coffee on the patio. It’s close to a Publix for groceries and all the delicious dining options you want to try along 30a. We will definitely book again when in the area.

Can’t Beat the View!

Love this place! It had everything we needed and you cannot beat the view and the accessibility to the beach! We had one little hiccup when we tripped a breaker switch and couldn’t reset because the circuit box is in a locked closet. We contacted the property manager through the after hours call service & he came out & helped right away. The rest of the stay was smooth sailing & we had a great time. Would definitely book this again.

Great location makes for a great vacation!

We just returned from our stay at Mermaid Cove. We loved the property as it was right on the beach. The property was very nice and just what we needed. The property management company was very attentive to questions and checked in regularly. If I had to come up with a complaint about the property (this is petty), I wish the directions for getting to the property could have been more descriptive. We arrive after dark and it was very hard to find the location as it is behind the units closer to the road. I was kind of bugged about this when I initially got out of the car, but as soon as I heard the ocean waves all annoyance was gone.

This was an amazing place right on the water. Easy to go back and forth to the beach. Also incredible views both downstairs and upstairs. It’s in a great location as well as you can quickly get to Alys beach, seacrest, and rosemary. You’ll need to run to the Publix for supplies and beach gear because it is sparsely stocked, however, the property manager is very clear upfront on what they provide.

The house was nice. Had problems finding place. Lots of red ants outside on walk way in back area. Sprinklers came on every morning that got the table and chairs wet every morning so was unable to set out for coffee. Lots of good water pressure. In general it was a very nice stay.

The only reason I took 2 stars off is bc the master bed is the worst! It is the loudest creaking obnoxious sound on BOTH sides when you get in or out of the bed. You wake up your spouse anytime you get out of the bed to use the restroom. It is also a hard bed. The bed was horrible!!!!
