great getaway
We had a fantastic vacation here! The place was clean and well equipped with everything we needed to feel comfy and relaxed! Towels, flashlights, beach chairs and umbrella included. The neighborhood was very quiet and had very little traffic. The beach is beautiful, not overcrowded, and steps away from the unit. We even saw a sea turtle our last evening on the beach coming to lay eggs. The golf cart was perfect, we didn't need to rent a car. It got us to all the locations we wanted to see with ease and made parking easier in many spots too. There are many restaurants and bars a very quick trip down the main drive full of delicious food and beverages! Great location and home, we would definitely stay here again. The only reason I gave 4 stars for check in was the welcome email with check in details came just a couple hours prior to the 4pm check in. I was a little anxious not knowing ahead of flying to Florida when this information would arrive. We had a wrong code in the email to the entrance key pad. This was quickly resolved with a phone call and we were given a new code. Overall, awesome stay and would highly recommend! Thank you for sharing your home!

Great beach get away
Great stay in a very clean cottage with a great location. It also had a suburb access to a less busy part of the island. The only slight issue was there was no information given before arrival on how to get into the cottage. I’m sure the host will have that resolved asap!

Perfect Island Vibe
This cottage is perfect. Steps from the beach! Old school updated. We love the traditional cottages vs the monster new houses that mix up the island vibe. Super clean..even the windows. Neighborhood is quiet and friendly. The balcony is perfect for sunsets and dinner. The furniture and beds are comfy. Well stocked for four. This area is our favorite part of the island.

Mermaid Retreat
This is a fantastic location. Maybe 50 yards to the beach and walking distance to restaurants, pharmacy, grocery and just about anything you will need on this beautiful island. The condo itself is magnificent. Everything you need for cooking, sleeping, relaxing on the deck, going to the beach is there for you. You will never find a place better equipped or cleaner than Mermaid Retreat!

Perfect Getaway
The Mermaid Retreat was absolutely perfect for our 4th of July vacation. The property was the cleanest of places we’ve ever stayed and had everything we needed. Plenty of dishes and cooking essentials, towels, chairs, wagon, and umbrellas. The walk to the beach is literally out the door and across the street. The beach is never crowded and the sunsets are always beautiful! Communication with Darren was aways quick. He even offered to fix an issue we ran into that he didn’t even have to do. He’s the absolute best host! Thank you Darren for making our stay rememberable! I will definitely stay here again next year!
