Reviewer Comments:
The Mermaid Lairs is absolutely beautiful, we went on a family trip with 4 adult couples and it was perfect!! We had a few minor issues (as to be expected) and Seaside Property was right there to assist with no hesitation. Our only complaint would be the beds were way to soft and the pillows were bulky and to hard for our liking, but we were able to find normal pillows in the closet which helped.
The area is great as long as your not looking for high rises

Great spot for a larger family and very kid-friendly! The location is perfect—walking distance to everything you need. The place was extremely clean, and the service was excellent. Highly recommend!
We had a great time at Mermaid's Lair. Everything we needed was under one roof: great kitchen, beds were comfortable, heated pool and hot tub. Sunny areas, shady areas and the beach was beautiful. Staff was extremely helpful and we wanted for nothing at the house. We would stay again!
Beautiful house. Sleeping accommodations weren’t enough for 10 adults. Bunk bed room was more for kids. The Queen sized beds were quite small. However there was a lot of spacein the house and the pool and beach location was awesome.

An amazing home with private pool, hot tub just feet from the beach. And an elevator too! Made moving luggage and groceries a breeze. The whole family had fun, the grandkids kept discovering new rooms! Finally, amazing balconies and amazing sunsets.

Family April 24' Vacation
Had a great time together and especially enjoyed the location of the rental home in proximity to the beach and the gorgeous sunsets each evening. Kids had fun on the beach as well as in the pool. Finding a restaurant that wasn't mobbed was a little problem for a party of 9 but the house definitely had a great kitchen with everything available to prepare meals and barbeque. You could literally enjoy the Mermaid's Lair's amenities, the beach, the scenery and the pool without going anywhere for days on end!

Reviewer Comments:
Everything about Mermaid's Lair was incredible. The beachfront location was super convenient being within walking distance of several bars and restaurants. We enjoyed the balconies, pool and being just steps from the beach. There are paddle boards, bikes, beach and pool toys available as well. The whole house has an elevated style and was perfect for ourselves and our adult children and grandchild with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The 5th bedroom with bunkbeds is actually more of a bonus room semi attached to the other bedroom, but that worked well for us. The kitchen had an ice maker, big refrigerator, wine fridge and 2 dishwashers. Management left clear directions and reached out to check on us to make sure we were happy. We had a great vacation at the property and would visit again.

This is the perfect family getaway. Bikes, beach toys, stand up paddle board, pack and play, high chair, stroller, boogie boards, amazing view - Just bring yourselves and enjoy! The pool, hot tub, direct access to the beach (wasn't too busy) and the beautiful house with all the supplies needed made our stay 100% stress free.

This house is beautifully decorated and short walk to beach. With 4 kids under age of 5 that was important to us. There were new bath towels and new kitchen towels. The beach towels were very nice. Loved having a door alarm to the pool. Plenty of room in large fridge and pantry. Loved being able to text the mgmt group if needed
