Great cottage. So close to the beach!
We had so much fun at the Mermaid Cottage! It is just steps from the beach. We had a fun and relaxing vacation. It is also so close (walking distance) to some of our favorite restaurants.

Cottage was clean and close to beach
We really enjoyed our vacation and stay at the cottage. It was very clean, had everything you needed, a place to park, and just seconds to walk to the beach. For myself, I wish the AC would have worked better as I get hot very easily but my wife and daughter were just fine though. That wouldn’t make me not stay there again. The host was very easy to get a hold of if you had any questions. The cottage was in walking distance to anything you needed, restaurants, Walgreens, shops, anything. I highly recommend anyone staying in Clearwater beach to give this place a try.

Mermaid Cottage is Great!
My 15 year old daughter and I found this cottage on VRBO, where the good experience started. The booking process was seamless, and the owner, Jennifer, got back to us ASAP letting use know the reservation had been accepted. The cottage was actually better than advertised. It was clean, well-kept, and came with games, puzzles, and novels (good for those infrequent rainy spells). The kitchen was full equipped and the bedrooms and bathrooms were just right; the living area had a nice tv with cable, however, I wish I had brought a Roku streaming stick. The internet was very fast and supported me, my 15 year old daughter, and her friend. The location could not have been better - only 30 feet from the beach. Once on the beach, there were chairs with umbrellas only a short walk away (they only took cash), sitting in front of a restaurant on the beach (no shoes or shirt required!!). There was also a stand for parasailing, kayaking, and banana boat rentals. The cottage, the location, and the amenities could not have been better!! Also, the cottage is within walking distance of several bars and restaurants downtown (and an escape room). Oh, and Samgelo's Pizza is across the street (like 10 feet) away from the cottage (thin crust Margherita, awesome). I contacted Jenn 2-3 times during the stay with general questions and she was always very responsive (although she works she always got back with me in only a few minutes). If the Mermaid Cottage looks good online, it is even better in person!!!

Nice quiet stay
Just north of busy downtown. The cottage was perfect location for a stroll downtown, and 30 seconds from the beach. Enjoyed that it was the the back of the other cottages which helped with noise and traffic.

Home on the beach!
This was our second time renting Mermaid Cottage. The proximity to the beach and the walkability of the neighborhood would make this cottage nearly perfect. The layout and comfort of the property take it all the way there. We love making this our home away from home.

Perfect location
Perfect location and access to beach. Parking was limited but we had the perfect spots at our rental. The beach access was not in a crowded place so you had space for your beach area. Also if you wanted the walk to shops/restaurants was only about a 10 minute walk so that was convenient.
