Our stay at Dancing Mermaid was a weekend made of memories. The condo was newly renovated and beautiful. The 500 sq foot balcony had an awesome view of the pool and night sky. Michelle and Leta were more than accommodating to see that our needs were met. We would definitely stay here again.

Beach Stay

Fun, super clean condo. Pool was a nice break from the salty windy beach! But the condo is still close enough to load up and cross the street to the beach! It’s a ways from the pier so traffic wasn’t bad! But still an easy enough drive to the pier.

Cypress Bunch

Picked a property close to home this year. Our three kids each rented their own condos at Maravilla and we rented this one as the meeting place for Thanksgiving. The view and large patio was perfect and the heated pool was great for the grandkids. Very clean and perfect size for our group of eleven to meet. We will definitely rent again.

My 2 sisters and I, along with our mother, just spent 3 nights in this BEAUTIFUL spacious condo with an amazing balcony overlooking the pool with view of the ocean. It was VERY clean and updated with stylish decor and furnishings. It was nice to have a full size washer and dryer. Great location! This condo was much more than we expected and we have already started planning our next stay at Dancing Mermaid.

The condo was amazing, and everything was so nice and neat when we walked in. Very inviting, and Much better than being in a hotel room. My family loved the balcony, where we sat every morning and night taking in the beautiful ocean view. The grandkids loved the huge pool, almost more than the beach. The pictures are exactly what you get. I would rent this again in a heartbeat.
