We have been asked many times but I am sorry to say that there isn't a fire pit. While the view is fantastic, the winds are a bit strong at times for a fire pit. However, there are fire pits along the Mississippi Gulf Coast (only 2 miles from the property) that can be reserved at the site below. These are very nice with great views directly onto the Gulf of Mexico. https://harrisoncountyms.gov/how_do_i_/apply_for/sand_beach.php
Please be advised that this is a coastal property and is subject to casual flooding of the yard in the case of strong South by Southeast winds during storms and fronts on the Gulf of Mexico. These situations are not a daily occurrence but may happen during stormy conditions. It is always our intent to monitor and advise the best that we can when these situations are predicted by the local weather authorities.

Was a wonderful stay! House was very clean lots of space. The kids loved swimming off the doc. An big please every night at sun down fish were swimming ready to be hooked. Lots of red fish catfish gars even cought crabs. Definitely recommend this to couples or familys. We watch beautiful sun rises an sun sets on the balcony. The owner freshly cut grass for us before we got there an checked in on us by text to see if we needed anything. Wonderful place to go an will do it again!!

My family ad I had such a great time! Mr. Jimmy had everything we could possibly need at Mermaid Landing. My brother and his wife made it to Mermaid Landing before i did and When I pulled in the driveway , I asked him what did he think about the property... he said "I'm ready to come back already!" We love it here! Its peaceful. We had a great time crabbing and fishing. We caught so many 🦀 crabs, we had a crab boil! And a fish fry! Mr Jimmy was very accommodating and friendly. We are ready to return in the fall! If you book a stay at Mermaid Landing,You will not be disappointed.

We had a wonderful time. This place is tied with our favorite VRBO stay in Biloxi and that house is twice the price a night. We could tie our boat (21ft whaler) to the whips in the small canal and our jet skis up to the other side of the property (You will need some bigger bumpers). The boat launch beside the house was great for a little double jet ski trailer. The marina is about a half mile up the bay for a larger boat ramp, fueling toys was easy and convenient. Air conditioning worked great along with everything else in the house. Jimmy was very responsive and helpful with any questions. You will not regret your stay in Jimmy's VRBO. Also, there is a light on the dock that brings up fish. My Boys had a blast catching trout out at night on artificial bait.

We had a blast, great place for family, my grandson fished off the deck, didn't want to come in at night for supper. Much needed time for my family. Would highly recommend this place for family time. very close to everything, beach, shops, casino.

My whole family loved our stay at Mermaid Landing. We were so close to shopping and the beach. Plus we were able to get up whenever we felt like it and step out on the pier and fish.

My boyfriend and I just spent TEN days here, and we loved it! We came with plans to get away from the world for a while, and for him to go fishing and visit some friends he hadn't seen in years. This home is clean, spacious, the kitchen is pretty well stocked with everything you need to cook.
We had great weather, HOT days, and a few stormy days. The views for every type of day were just amazing. The fans on the deck come in handy. Have bug spray.
The only real complaint is the yard and the issues with tides filling the ENTIRE culdesac and most of the yard. To the point that several times if we had not been in a truck we would not have been able to come in or go out of the spot under the house. If you have a regular car it could present a problem and that is the only reason I mention that part. I feel like it should be mentioned in the description. Also, because of the way the yard is flooding the grass is really messed up, and you will get your feet wet if you want to go down the steps ftom the house to the dock. Children really have no yard to play in because of the water or the damaged grass if you hoped for that. Both of those issues might be time of the year related though.
Sadly fishing from the dock proved impossible, night time there are tons of gar fish that hang around. Day time he was only catching catfish or crabs.
But saying all of that, we do already know that we will definitely book here again. Jimmy is helpful, and we truly enjoyed our time!

We have been vacationing at the Mermaid Landing since it became available on VBRO. It has not ever been a disappointment. It’s the perfect location for quiet time with the family. But close enough to get the full experience with the beach and casinos! Enjoyed sitting out on the porch listening to the birds chirping and watching the fish jump in the lake. Mr. Jimmy is very kind and helpful. Always available if you need something. If I could rate it higher than 5 stars I would. My husband and family come here every year since it became available and plan on going back again next year!

Nice and clean, comfortable and quiet. As expected and I would come back!

WOW! This house was what it said it was and much more. The house is very spacious and had plenty of space for our group of 5, but could hold many more. We woke up Thanksgiving morning and the DISH Network was out of order and Mr. Jimmy had the company there to ensure we were not inconvenienced by this outage nor missed one second of football.
This was one of our most memorable Thanksgivings we've had and renting Mr. Jimmy's house is what made it such a perfect holiday with family.
I can't wait to return and we are already trying to plan our next trip to stay here again, and hopefully this will be an annual event.
Also, the home is conveniently located to stores and restaurants and a short drive to the casinos in Biloxi. It's also a short drive to Ocean City which is a MUST SEE!!!!!! We rented a golf cart for my elderly mother to comfortably ride along the light lined streets and we enjoyed all of the small shops and boutiques along the main street and we enjoyed delicious food. The wide array of food choices was crazy and had something for everyone and all of the people we encountered along the strip were so friendly and appreciative for our visit.
Thank you Mr. Jimmy for allowing us to celebrate our Thanksgiving at your home. This was our first holiday after the loss of my step father to Covid just 2 months ago and my mother's first holiday without him here to celebrate, so it was a special holiday in a special home!
Thank you Mr. Jimmy!

It was wonderful. Great family vacation. My daughter really enjoyed the fishing from the doc. The area and views were great. Mr Jimmy the owner is super nice and very helpful. He came over an afternoon and we played guitars and talked about life. Great person to stay with. I certainly hope we get to come again. Highly recommended for a great time!

We had a fun time at Mermaid Landing. Everything was close by but we felt we had the area to ourselves. Jimmy was very helpful with our questions and the house how had everything we needed. The water rises during high tide and covers the back but it wasn't anything to worry about. We tried Mr Greek down the road and it was fantastic. There's also a good place (Island Seafood) nearby if you want to cook fresh shrimp or redfish. My son made delicious gumbo and found all the utensils he needed at the house. We did a $15.00 day pass to swim at the Hard Rock which was a 15-minute drive away. Check-out was also easy and I'm already looking at staying again. Wonderful experience.

This by far was the best place we have ever stayed. The house is immaculate and well stocked. Mr. Jimmy made sure everything was perfect for our stay. The views were amazing. We were able to see Manatees, an alligator, bald eagles, turtles, and porpoises all from the back porch. Which was amazing to sit on to watch the sunset and sunrise. We didn’t want to leave so we extended our stay another night. We are already planning our next stay.
We are at Captain Al’s one night and The Reef another night. Both are delicious!!!!
Thanks again Mermaid Landing for the most PERFECT vacation!

We absolutely loved the location of the property. Sitting on the porch, watching all the wildlife of Bayou Bernard was so relaxing. The house was great. The location felt isolated, but it was less than a mile to restaurants, grocery, and drugstores. I’m already planning another trip to Mermaid Landing!

Well the vacation was a welcome break and we enjoyed our stay.
Jimmy was quite the excellent host, keeping in touch with us and offering assistance with where to eat and researching where to get fishing bait. Also as my mother-in-law is in her upper 80's he went out of his way to assist with her getting around. Thank you so much for all your help.

We went to Biloxi to spend Christmas with our son who is stationed at Keesler AFB and wanted someplace comfortable to stay. Mermaid Landing was absolutely perfect. The pictures of the home are accurate and we immediately felt at home in this lovely waterfront home. The host was terrific with communication and told us not to hesitate to contact him for anything. The house is well stocked with everything to make your stay comfortable. It was even decorated for Christmas, which was a GREAT touch! We felt cozy and comfortable, and had an incredible view of the water. Highly recommend this lovely home!

Our stay was one of the best in the last 5 years. Easy excess to everything you want to do flood n shopping are just riding and enjoying the city. The best part is sitting on the porch with a view of relaxing. We will be going back.

The house is one of the best we have stayed at on vacation. The pictures don’t do it justice…..very clean and all the amenities you would need. The dock is fantastic to fish from plus it has lights for night fishing. Close to all the casinos…. Be sure to visit Ocean City for brew pubs and restaurants. Big shout out to the host Jimmy….great communication and very helpful. THANK YOU

This is an absolutely wonderful vacation rental especially if you want to truly relax and unwind! The water views are gorgeous and it is hard to tear yourself away from sitting on the deck with the wonderful breezes. The home is very comfortable and very well maintained. The owners are great and very accommodating. My grandson spent the whole time fishing and had a great time catching a large redfish and black drum off of the pier. I highly recommend Mermaid Landing for a great time!!

This is an amazing property. It is in a beautifully serene location on its own small peninsula surrounded by water! The house is well cared for and fully stocked with the essentials you may need. It is also located just minutes from the area's major attractions. We will definitely return to this very home on our next trip through the area!

Our family spent several days at this house. It has everything you need including a great view of the river. Sitting down below and enjoying the cool breeze is wonderful even on hot afternoons. Easy access to Gulfport and Biloxi. Lots of restaurants nearby. We would recommend this house if you are looking for something away from the beach.

The property was just as expected from VRBO!
Rooms were clean and a good size and the VIEW was AWESOME!
Mr. Jimmy was so helpful from the time we booked the property until we left. I feel like I made a friend with Mr. Jimmy.
The property is in close proximity to the beach, restaurants and entertainment.
The basic necessities were provided and even some extras like condiments, seasonings, etc.
We crabbed off the pier and Mr. Jimmy even brought us a pot and burner to boil our crabs. We decided to take them home with us though.
I would give this property and HOST 10 stars if I could.

Extremely clean house, plenty of room, amazing view outside and inside, most everything you need in the kitchen is already there. Nice sized yard for kids to run around. Great place to fish and spend time with your family. They had toys inside the house for kids, board games, tv’s in every room. The host is beyond helpful and friendly. We will absolutely be back to this place.

Simply wonderful!
Simply wonderful! Our stay here was a last minute addition to our planned vacation in Louisiana and we were very pleased with the location. Mr. Jimmy, was very helpful with everything we needed and was a great host. Fishing out on the dock was excellent using live shrimp. We will definitely plan on a longer stay in the future.

Perfect waterfront retreat!!!
I totally agree with a previous review that the photos do not do this property justice. The living room/kitchen is full width and spacious with a great view of the water. All three bedrooms are roomy as well with a very large master. A room in the back has a futon that gives you more sleeping if needed. The unit was spotless inside and out. If you wanted to entertain outside, underneath the house is all concrete, completely shaded, and has a half bath so you don't need to go back up stair to use the the bathroom. We brought out boat and enjoyed the river as well as a local sand bar recommended to us by the the owner which turned out to be great with the kids. The owner Jimmy was absolutely the best host of any VRBO I've stayed in. Prompt reply with all the questions I had prior to arrival and met us at the property at check in for a tour. He gave us suggestions on restaurants and where to boat in the area. We will definitely stay here again!!!
