Girls Weekend This place was amazing, beautiful, and comfortable. Everything was tasteful and beachy themed. The proximity to all the great restaurants and bars was walking distance. Had a great time and would totally rent this place again. Thx 😊

Firstly, great location - 1 blk from the main drag, 1 1/2 blks to the beach....Recent renovations are well-done, especially the large, beautifully-tiled shower...Decor is very tasteful and of obvious quality....Kitchen is well-equipped with lots of cook- and flatware....Best part was the large fenced-in back patio with lots of privacy and plantings, including papaya (we ate 3 if them!), and hi-end patio furniture and grill...I could go on, but suffice it to say that you'll lack for nothing here....

Our family (including extended) decided to get away for the 4th of July weekend. We stayed in different locations and my family and I definitely found the treasure of motels! We loved it from the moment we stepped onto the property. The owners were still in the middle of renovation, but it was clean, the pool was perfect and peaceful, the ambiance was as if I just stepped out of the rat race of life and stepped into a better time and place. We had so much fun we even stayed a bit longer due to the fact we just didn't want to leave. The managers were so friendly and accommodating (from quick response to flexibility to making the room welcoming). All we wanted and needed was near by. We are from Tampa and often just want to get away...we will be making this our home away from home.

Absolutely amazing and refreshing retreat steps away from the beach without the noise and commotion of a hotel. We enjoyed the option of eating in with the clean, fully equipped kitchen and grill or the numerous options within easy walking distance. I never knew there were so many local restaurants with great food and affordable prices. The new backyard is perfect for morning coffee, lunch or relaxing watching a game. The complimentary laundry made our packing a lot easier and saved us from having to pay for extra bags on our flight and with the location, didn’t even need to rent a car. Chuck and Kathy have done an exceptional job of creating a relaxing atmosphere and ensure we had everything we needed for our stay. I highly recommend this location and can’t wait to come back next year.

Wow, wow, wow! This little gem in the heart of St. Pete Beach is truly amazing. My sister and I rented the house for three weeks. It was very clean , cozy and had all the amenities one could ask for. The bomber beach cart made it perfect to get all necessary supplies organized and across the sand with ease and comfort. We need not want to leave and will definitely be back soon. This house rocks and is just what the Dr. ordered. Thank you!

Driving down the road looking for the address, I spotted this little place and instantly got excited that the numbers seemed to be counting down to it. Outside was clean, well kept, quaint and seemed to be walking distance from everything. Inside was breathtaking. I even took photos for future Pinterest pinning. The owners have meticulously planned each room for comfort, use of space, storage, vacation elements and convenience.

I truly loved this rental! It was perfect for our girls weekend getaway to the beach. Everything is walking distance, the place is clean and up to date and offers everything you need in the kitchen. I honestly have nothing negative to say about this adorable little place :-)

What a week. We stayed at The Mermaid Bungalow and it was great. The curb appeal of this property is classic and tasteful and very well done. Inside Chuck and Kathy have really done a wonderful job on updating, upgrading and maintaining this bungalow. We rented the middle unit and it was a very well laid out great room with a nice bedroom and updated bathroom. Outside is a wonderful space, a classic Florida lanai (screened in porch). We used this space everyday. Beyond the lanai is a nice private fenced in yard. Chuck has everything you need for a great stay, we did not need or want for anything. The location was wonderful, steps away from everything you want: the beach, restaurants, bars, shopping, we met the neighbors and they we nice too. Chuck is a great owner. He was easy to talk to, very quick in responding, very helpful with all my questions. We look forward to returning to St. Pete Beach and would not hesitate to rent from Chuck again. We recommend Chuck and this property hand down.

Hands down, the best place i've ever stayed! It's extremely clean, the beds are comfortable and it's walking distance to everything. Fully equipped kitchen for those of us who enjoy cooking! Bikes available for guest! The perfect back yard for grilling and chilling! Everything was thought of for this location. We will definitely be staying here again!!! Thank you Chuck & Kathy for an amazing getaway location!

My partner and I visited this bungalow for a girls birthday weekend celebration and it was perfect! We live in Tampa so the location made us feel like we were on a far-away vacation but only a short 40 minute drive from home. The photos of the house don't do it justice - it looks like it's out of a Coastal Living magazine! I want them to decorate my house! The layout of the house makes it easy to entertain or take some quiet time. It was a short walk to the beach and many of the shops, restaurants, and bars. Very convenient. All in all we had a great weekend!

My sister and I needed a getaway to celebrate the end of the school year. Now, we hope to make it to this bungalow to celebrate whatever, whenever! We LOVED this place so much! Every detail was thought of with so much love and understanding of what a "getaway" actually means. The beds and blankets were SO nice and extremely comfortable. There are plush towels and robes, a coffee pot with auto-grinding, bikes to get to the beach, and plenty of room to chill. The walk to the beach is really short and well worth the money saved by not actually staying on the sand itself. It's also close to many awesome restaurants and cute shops, within a short and lazy walk. We did NOT want to leave!! The place is really beautiful and clean, charming and cozy, convenient and very reasonable! We will be back for sure!

I visited the Mermaid Beach Bungalow with my husband and our 2 dogs for a birthday weekend and had a blast! We so did not want to leave! We loved the newly renovated accommodations . . . from the granite counter tops, tile floors, flat screen tv’s, to the beautiful landscaping, back patio, fenced in back yard, etc, it was top notch! The full kitchen & grill made it easy for us to stay in when we chose & the numerous bars & restaurants in walking distance made it easy for us to eat out! We loved all the local bands & not to mention amazing sunsets! The Sunday Corey Ave. Market was awesome, shopping is always a must for this gal! Can’t wait to go back!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid Bungalow. It is a perfect location, walking distance to everything. They have everything that you would need at the house. It is clean and the beds are comfortable. We look forward to coming back next year!

We recently stayed at this incredible beach bungalow, that has all of the upgraded amenities anyone could ask for. Also, it is within walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shopping. Chuck and Kathy thought of everything to make our trip very enjoyable. Our dog also enjoyed romping in the enclosed yard. It is truly a "hidden treasure" on the beach. Looking forward to a return visit.

Highly recommend Chuck's Mermaid Bungalow...last minute trip and Chuck was so easy to work with...I stayed in the 1 BR and it was just perfect...clean, new appliances, beach chairs, cooler, and a beach cart that made hauling all the toys to the beach a breeze...(wish I had a dollar for every person who came up to me inquiring about where to get one!) This place is in a great location, just across the street from Jimmy B's Beach Bar (they actually won an award for Best Beach Bar in Florida!) and walking distance to several other beach bars and restaurants...great value, great place, great beach, great guy to work with...treat yourself and ENJOY!!!

My husband and I stayed at this property for the first week of June and we couldn't be more pleased. Everything was newly renovated and nicely done. The bed was very comfortable and we slept great after long days at the beach. We enjoyed the outdoor shower after returning from the beach and the screened in patio had a large TV which was a nice surprise. Having a washer and dryer was nice also. The location was just across the street from the beach and walking distance to many great restaurants. Most days we actually rode the bikes provided or walked to wherever we were going. I highly recommend this place and wouldn't change anything about it if I owned it myself. Speaking of that, we actually met the owners and they were extremely friendly and accommodating. Just book it...you won't regret it!

We loved this place! It was perfectly located. Walking distance to loads of nightlife, beach bars, and restaurants. Also a block from the beach so we did not have to worry about parking. The place was clean and comfortable. Provided everything that was needed. Loved the bathrobes! Excellent touch. Would stay there again.

The photos and description of this unit accurately depict it's current condition, as it was very clean and had been updated recently. Although the unit is small, having a washer and dryer on site is a bonus if you are staying for any length of time. In addition, the owners are very accommodating and helpful. The location is excellent, as it is within walking distance of the beach, many restaurants, and a deli around the corner.

Very uncomplicated dealing with owner from time of booking until check out. The quiet located bungalow is within walking distance to the nice beach and centre with lots of eating out options. The infrastructure is perfect. For example Are the bikes fun to ride with or the provided beach towels practical to have right on spot. We did love the decoration of the house. Only the garden is not yet that inviting (simply clean cut lawn surrowded by a fence). Chuck told me, that they are still working on this. Above all, I can warmly recommend staying at this place. It feels so much more like home than any hotel around. Also, price/value is great.

This place lived up to everything in the description and then some. The moment you pull in the driveway you feel the peace. The bungalow has all the comforts of home, to include bath robes. We found ourselves not wanting to venture out, cuz we were just too relaxed. When we did leave, everything from dining to shopping was a short walk or bike ride away(2 bikes are included). Be sure to catch a sunset over the Gulf and grab some sushi at Basil (also walking distance). The only thing we needed to bring was our clothes and ourselves, The Owner made sure the place has everything else. Thanks Chuck for sharing your Beach Bungalow!

The place is very nice and clean. There are bikes, coolers, washer and dryer, wifi ... everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The beach and several restaurants are within walking distance. Great value.

Clean, comfortable, nicely decorated and conveniently located. Also has great Middle Eastern deli in walking distance...best grape leaves ever!!

I stayed here for the month of January. Owners are very nice and assist in anyway to ensure a great stay. The unit has been remodeled and is excellent condition. The location is close to the beach and great restaurants. I have already booked time to stay again.

Spent last weekend at this wonderful bungalow steps away from St. Pete Beach. It was immaculate with the beach and sunset just around the corner. Also had great restaurants and night life all around! It is a must do!
