A nice place, but needs some love outside
We came here as a delayed honeymoon, knowing nothing about the area. It's Mermaid Time was a nice home with a beautiful kitchen and nicely decorated rooms. Overall the location was comfortable, however there were several downsides. The grounds were overgrown and needed tending (the ivy is growing under the hurricane shutters and all over the porch). The porch furniture, although it photographs beautifully, had cushions that were always soaked, stinky and slimy. The pool was a wonderful retreat, especially with all the mosquito bites I got. There were numerous "mosquito breeding grounds" of places with standing water. The beds were definitely cushy, and read carefully because the largest is a double. Overall, we had a good time and the location was good and the house nice, but it needs some serious work.

The Mermaid
This house needs never to be listed again until lots of issues are resolved. Very dirty and needs a deep cleaning badly. The listing shows things that are NOT there and very disappointing. We wanted a house with a pool/spa and both were dirty or not working. Windows are painted shut and hurricane shutters are stuck closed making it a huge hazard if ever there were a fire. NO grass in the backyard for this dog friendly property. We called 3 times and texted daily and NEVER received a call from the "local team."
