Beautiful home 4 blocks from the beach! The property sits on a large lot with ample parking for three vehicles- without having to park on the street. The bedrooms are all very roomy with lots of natural light. The kitchen is huge with tons of storage and a gas stove. There is a full dining area inside and out. But, our favorite part is the outside seating area. With an outdoor sofa and grill, we love to sit outside and catch up with friends and family after a day at the beach. (We have an outdoor shower to wash off the salt, too). There are plenty of beach toys and bikes to make sure you enjoy your days in the sun to the fullest. So, come hang out and relax at The Blue Mermaid. 🧜‍♀️ GOLF CART RENTAL Experience the ultimate rush!

Dec 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice place Had a good time. The only downfall was we were vacation and paid the cleaning fee for the unit to be cleaned. Read the welcome book. We had to wash all of our bath towels we used, put all the dishes in the dishwasher and start it. Again when you are charging a cleaning fee that is what you are paying for. Don’t get me wrong we are very clean adults and do not leave any place we stay at a mess. I do not think we will stay in this unit again ##### Rita P.
