We had 5 adults for a week long stay and it was fantastic. The house had most things we needed which was nice since we travelled in from out of state. The walk to the beach is very short and convenient and it was great that beach chairs and a wagon were provided. Our family would definitely stay again in the future!

Our family has been vacationing in Florida for many years and this year was another awesome trip in the books. We really enjoyed the beautiful Mermaid Cottage and were very comfortable during our stay. It was an easy walk to the pool or the beach and the home offered plenty of room for our family during meals together, sitting on the balcony, and resting in the living room while enjoying our time together. We definitely look forward to staying again and are thankful to the family for sharing their home with our family. The host was quick to respond and everything was exactly as described.

We have vacationed at Miramar Beach several times and this was my favorite rental. We had stayed at this same location before and love how close to private beach and nice pool. But this unit was more up to date and provided several perks (nice beach chairs and towels). Communication was top notch. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

My husband and I stayed here with our Lab, my brother, and his spouse. We are all over 50 peeps. The fact this house has 2 master bedrooms was awesome for our stay! One is on the 1st floor and the other upstairs. The house is roomy and has great amenities. We found everything to be in good working order. The kitchen was well stocked, but the pots and pans are pretty worn. I worry with nonstick surfaces when they are scratched up. There was plenty of sitting and dining room for us. The only thing that was a bit difficult in staying here was the door code. In the past, we only had 4 digits to remember. This was a 7 digit code to remember. It was certainly not a deal breaker, by any stretch of the imagination. We called upon the manager, Kathy to help us troubleshoot operating the air fryer oven. Altho, she was not able to figure it out for us, she was very responsive and kind in the process. The best part of our stay for me is that every other Southern VRBO we have stayed in, we have encountered roaches!! Now I know it is expected in the South, but for us Northerners, it is unnerving to see them in the house. We had absolutely no roaches seen in the house! So lovely!! Thank you to Kastle Keepers for a successful stay!

This standalone home is in a small, quiet development. That said, it just a couple of minutes from the beach. It is also steps from Gulf Shore Drive which allows for easy walking, riding, carting or driving to multiple restaurants. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking as desired. The upper level has a wraparound balcony which is a comfortable spot to find sun, shade and/or breezes…great for reading or napping! Each of the three bedrooms has its own bathroom.

This place is probably the nicest place we have ever rented. Short walk to the beach. We walked to eat every night, located in between Pompano Joe's and Captain Daves. Fully stocked kitchen made cooking easy also. We had a hiccup on checking in but Kathleen was very easy to work with and responded promptly everytime we had a question. Our kids loved the pool and the convience of the location to the house. Will stay here again.

We loved our time at the Mermaid Cottage. The house was located within a 3 minute walk to the beach and had a private entrance that lead you to chairs and umbrellas setup and ready to use. The house was super clean and had every amenity we needed. The wrap around porch on the top floor was amazing to sit out on and relax. It is completely enclosed so the dogs could enjoy too! There are 4 restaurants within a quick walk and all were delicious. We are looking forward to our return stay!
