Private botanical butterfly garden- fun + educational. Swim with butterflies and watch wild birds while floating in the heated pool.
Smart HDTVs and blackout curtains in every room, tropical pool views from kitchen and three bedrooms, laundry room, fast Wi-Fi, screened patio, gas grill, cooler, beach chairs, and a full tea and coffee setup: variety of Celestial Seasonings tea, Keurig, drip pot, grinder, and French press. Sleeps 10 adults +2 babies. 1+ mile to beach, 3 blocks to boat charters, restaurants, library, +parks.
*Quiet area* *No parties* *we live right next door*
Mermaid Bay- your Florida botanical oasis. Dip into a butterfly paradise just 1.5 mile from the beach. Butterfly garden & heated pool tucked inside a peaceful neighborhood on the border of Deerfield and Boca. You'll see flocks of parrots, bluejays, cardinals, and painted buntings at the feeders and baths at the far corner. It's an open-air pool, so at night you'll see all the stars.
Your comfort is priority: Air conditioning that *you* control, 5 styles of coffee brewing (Keurig, drip, French press, stove top, and cold press), frozen yogurt maker, Vitamix, all the comfy beds, and a laundry room with iron and board.
Enjoy our signature, all-natural Butterfly Breeze Tea that turns purple when you add lemon.

Why they chose this property
This home is owner managed, which means we care about the quality of your entire experience from start to finish.
The house is secluded in a clean, quiet, and safe neighborhood, has super comfy beds, and includes ALL you need. You'll have a private, screened in patio & bar with an outdoor dining area; you can enjoy the outdoors and be protected from weather and mosquitoes. Ice cold air conditioning inside, and *you* control the temperature!
Scuba, fishing, and tour boats are so close that you can see the marina from the front or back yard. The beach is less than a mile and a half away, and tennis, playgrounds, shopping, library, dining, parks, boat ramps, and church are all only 2-4 blocks away.
You can see Boca from the front yard, and I95 is only 2 miles west. Hop on an airboat and see alligators and spoonbills (and other rare and endangered wildlife) 10 miles west in the Everglades.
A guest favorite activity: Sullivan Park is a free children's splash-park/playground/picnic area less than a half mile away on the intracoastal, halfway to the beach.

What makes this property unique
Owner-managed, so you know we care about your entire experience start to finish.
Mermaid Bay FLA is spotlessly cleaned by professional housekeepers, and its truly classic Florida architecture is very welcoming and open.
The pool and huge front and back patios are perfect for enjoying the outdoors while still being close to the air-conditioned comfort of home. There is plenty of room to gather together with friends and family for meals, drinks, and television, but since each bedroom also has its own Roku TV and blackout curtains, it's easy to spend time alone without being bored.
Beautiful '50's Florida feel in an newly renovated, fully air conditioned home. Hi speed WiFi (180mbps consistent), smart TVs in every room, and *very* comfy new beds. The carefully tended assortment of butterflies and birds in the botanical garden are a huge bonus!
Your comfort is our mission.
