Kim, We are so happy to hear that you all had a wonderful stay at Chasing Mermaids! It is a gorgeous home with fabulous views. Please come back and see us again soon!
If you are looking for a true beach vacation with your family, this home works well. A bit of a drive to amenities, but we were looking to stay at the house the majority of the time so was not a negative for us.

Hi Michelle,
Thanks for taking the time to review! Chasing Mermaids is one of my absolute favorite homes on our program. The homeowners take a lot of pride in making sure it is nice and always well- maintained. I hope to see you guys again soon!
Thanks for choosing Reed Real Estate.
Beautiful location for us as we were looking for low key, relaxing. It really is not that far for most any thing you want to do. Before the weather decided to not cooperate we were able to watch the dolphins from the living room while they played or swam past. It was an awesome stay & looking forward to coming back again.

Thanks so much for the great review! We are thrilled to hear you guys had a great stay. Sorry about the weather, trust us when we say we prefer the warm sunshine too! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
House was kept real cool, but they also have ceiling fans and other fans in all bedrooms. Open concept is nice for everyone to be able to join in the conversations. Kitchen is large so more than one can work at a time. Located right on the beach. Our 2 favorite places was the outdoor screened in area which has a ceiling fan and the chairs underneath. The WiFi and Apple TV was extremely nice especially since that is what we have at home.

We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay with us! The babies are so cute and look like they had a great time in the shade too. We look forward to welcoming you again next year. Thank you for your time!
The property is well kept and in a lovely area. The closeness to the water is great! It is very close to the sound of waves and the beach area is fun. The home is comfortable and up to date. Only minor thing - needed a little more essentials like salt/pepper, coffee filters, but no biggie. We had a lot of items as we knew we would be further away from shopping. Overall it is a very, very nice place.

Thanks for the great review John! We are so glad you and your crew enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again soon!
We had a beyond great stay at Chasing Mermaids! The location was perfection! The house fit our group of 9 perfectly! I rated the check-in process as 4 stars ONLY because of the requirement to physically be present at check-in. Other Vrbo rentals we’ve used have all done so via email. The staff at the real estate company was very friendly and accommodating. This is a great beach home if you’re looking for more of a private beach location. We love to stay out in the Fort Morgan area for this very reason. Overall, we would highly recommend this house!
