We loved the trip and the house. Pool was great - beds comfortable - clean - nice kitchen and appliances to cook all week - roomy rooms - 1 con need more living room seating for 10 plus people to gather together
Color Me Mermaid was the perfect place to stay for our Spring Break! Ages 13 to 82 had a wonderful time. Rental was very easy and the owners were super nice. Fun times at the pool and quiet walks on the beach! Can't wait to come back.
Beautiful home in a great location. This house has it all!
This is a gorgeous, newer home that has everything you would want. Communication from beginning to end was great. Check in instructions were clear. Plenty of room for our family to spread out. The beds were really comfortable, nice linens and fully stocked kitchen. It was Thanksgiving weekend so we didn’t get to enjoy the pool, but it was a very nice area. Would love to stay here again when it’s warmer but we enjoyed our holiday time here as well. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
Color me mermaid was a perfect fit for our family. The house has plenty of room for multiple families. We had 3 families and this beautiful home had plenty of room for us all. The heated pool was wonderful for our 2 babies and 1 toddler. The beach is a very short walk from the house and has a great ocean view. I will say this is the first home I have stayed in that I did not feel like I should wash everything before we used it. We hope to stay at Color me mermaid for our family vacations again.
I can’t say enough good things about this house (Color Me Mermaid), the owners, the cleaning crew-everything was amazing! The pool area is perfect complete with a shower to wash off, the walk to the beach was quick and easy. The kitchen was fully stocked, the house was decorated beautifully, the view of the ocean from the top balcony was the perfect view for my morning coffee. Comfy beds! And don’t even get me started on the elevator-game changer!!! We are so happy we chose this house for our family vacation this year, we will definitely be back! Thank you for sharing your beautiful mermaid beach home with us! We made lots of memories and had lots of laughs.
The house was decorated beautifully! It felt fresh & clean. We didn’t do a lot of cooking, but the kitchen seemed to be very well equipped. The wagon & pool toys were very nice to have & something we made use of. There was plenty of seating around the pool which is where we spent most of our time. It would have been nice if there were a bathroom at the pool level, but other than that the house was wonderful! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & have no complaints!
