    Merry Mermaid is tucked away on North Cape San Blas in the San Dunes community, just one road back from the Gulf-front homes. Guests enjoy access to the community pool and a convenient boardwalk leading straight to sugar-white sands and the clear waters of the Gulf.



    Outdoor & Entry Level

    On the ground floor you’ll find a spacious carport, a propane grill for easy cookouts, and an outdoor shower—perfect for rinsing off after a beach day. Step inside and you’re welcomed by a foyer with a stackable washer and dryer, making it simple to refresh towels and swimsuits for tomorrow’s adventures.

The living room opens to a balcony with Gulf views and a relaxing swing—an ideal place for morning coffee or sunset lounging. Gather everyone around the custom dining table that comfortably seats 10.
