All was great. Only want to point out that the door leading into bathroom was stuck and appears to be water damaged or rotted in the bottom. Also could not turn on the main light by living room/kitchen area. Not complaining, just thought you should know.

Great location! Only complaint was the entry door was in bad shape and could only be opened and closed with effort. It would be great if you could somehow add a visitor parking spot.

This was the perfect get away spot! Communication with home owners was spot on with details about stay, check-in, and local attractions. Very clean and comfortable. There was even a tray of teas, snacks, and amenities. My biggest dilemma was deciding whether I wanted to hang out at the pool or the beach. Tough decisions! I highly recommend Mermaid's Retreat!

Our boys (10,12,14) loved fishing off the dock and each of them caught some fish. The short walk to the ocean was a daily event. We found shells and shark teeth! The sunsets on the ocean were great. We grilled each night, swam in the pool, made ourselves pina coladas and took advantage of the peace and quiet to read books and play games. We had a great time!

Everything at this property was wonderful! Very peaceful and relaxing! The Mermaids Retreat was absolutely magnificent. It was very clean, comfortable and welcoming! It was more than we expected and offered special touches. There was nothing that we did not like, and we highly recommend! We will most certainly stay again!!!

Was a very enjoyable and relaxing vacation. The rental had everything you could possibly need. Amy was very happy to help you with suggestions about activities in the area. The pool was not heated when we arrived and they had the pool guy there the next morning to have it fixed. The private beach across the street was beautiful!!! They provided beach chairs and towels as well. Would definitely stay again!!!
