Livin' Easy - Not Expensively!

Great Value for a great vacation. Cute cottage is located on gulf side of island and is a 60 second walk from the beach on a designated walking path alongside the west side of our house. Eateries and entertainment are a few minutes walk the other direction. The beach is generally not crowded at this location and excellent for shelling and watching spectacular sun rises & sunsets. Private outdoor shower is great after a day at the beach. Large deck area available for your outdoor enjoyment.

Cook in our fully equipped kitchen or catch the island trolley to Peg Leg Pete's for your favorite seafood specialty. Nearby National Seashore & Ft. Pickens are wonderful places for undeveloped, natural island vistas. Walk to nearby beach shops for souvenirs and listen to free concerts on Tuesday evenings at the Gulfside Pavilion May-September. In nearby Pensacola is a historic district with excellent shopping. Come relax, watch your worries fade in the sunset and live easy for a time.

Great place to stay in Pensacola! We had a wonderful time and were within minutes from the beach!
Couldn't ask for a better place to stay on the beach. Wonderful, clean cottage within walking distance of the beach and several shops and restaurants! Also, loved the outdoor shower! We are looking forward to staying again next Summer.

The property was conveniently located close to all the places you'd want to visit while in Pensacola
The home was clean and inviting! Plenty of room for all of us and I especially loved the very large outdoor patio! The kids loved the bunk beds and the Netflix. We will most definately be staying again!

Paradise on earth
Everything about the home was perfect. Very clean and great communication. If I tried really hard I wouldn’t be able to come up with a single thing to complain about. Everything is right there for an awesome vacation. Plan on going sometime in October and will try to book there again. Just awesome ☺️

Sisters Trip
The Mermaid Cottage is a unique gem in Pensacola Beach. It has a great location to the beach, shops and restaurants. The cottages is very well maintained and very welcoming. It will sleep a family of 6 comfortably. The master has a king size bed and the second bedroom has two full sized beds. The full size beds were VERY FIRM. I'd recommend softer beds. Other than, I love the cottage. This was my second summer to stay in the cottage.

Great location
We loved how close we were to the beach, and the house was very clean. I would have liked some extra blankets, and it took us quite a while to find the laundry room (had to wash the house towels before we left). Other than that it was a great stay.

Pensacola Mermaid Lounge
The house was perfect for us. A shaded outside area, walking path to the beach and walking distance to restaurants and boardwalk. Close enough to everything so you don’t have to drive but far enough down the beach for a quiet beach experience.

Comfortable, cozy and convenient to eating, drinking, shops and of course, the BEACH! If you actually want to spend time together this is the place for you, plus a nice large deck area for getting away if needed :). We would definitely stay again. Thank you!

The property was in a great location just blocks from the beach and an easy walk or drive to lots of dining options. The communication from the property manager was excellent. We knew exactly when/how to check in and what the expectations were before, during, and for checkout.

Pensacola Beach House
We had a great time at the beach with family. It was perfect for After the beach sand removal from two little boys. The kitchen worked very well for breakfast and supper daily. Beds were very comfortable. Small patio was nice during late evening and night for a look at the starry sky. Enjoyed so very much and hope to return again.

This place is a gem
This was our second trip to the Mermaid house in 8 months. For the price you can't beat the proximity to the beach and all the shopping/restaurants in the area. Bring your bikes b/c you won't have to drive anywhere unless you go back over the bridge. Loved watching the Blue Angels from Fort Pickens!!! Thanks for another great stay Ella.

FUN IN THE SUN
WE HAVE RENTED THIS PROPERTY SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. THE OWNER HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY ACCOMODATING AND CONSIDERATE. THE LOCATION & HOUSE IS GREAT. WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE TO EVERYTHING ON THE BEACH. THE BEACH ITSELF IS VERY EASY AND FAST TO ACCESS. WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!

Totally enjoyed!
Had never visited the Pensacola Beach area and weren't completely sure what we would find. We totally enjoyed our stay at Ella's place, it was perfect for us! Everything was as expected and is in a central location, a easy walk to almost everything we needed, and our pups were very happy! The only negative is that we didn't book our stay for long enough... wish we would have stayed longer! Definitely on our "will return" list!

Quaint, Cozy and Comfortable
My wife, 18 year old son and I had a great stay. You are within walking distance of everything. The house makes you feel at home, with the patio and comfy furniture. We had a very short walk to the beach. I would recommend this place to everyone, the privacy was awesome. I would also like to thank the owner for her quick responses to a couple of the questions that I had. We would love to come back.

Wonderful Vacation
We were actually stunned with how adorable the rental is. The pictures do not do it justice. It was big and roomy and the outdoor shower and access to the laundry room was amazing. The owner had provided so many extras, beach items, toiletries, etc. The walk to the beach was super short and absolutely gorgeous. We have been to Florida many times, but this vacation was the absolute best. We will return.

Grateful!!
We are so grateful that Ella allowed us to rent her sweet cottage. We had just been displaced from our home because of hurricane Michael. We needed a place to regroup, shower and be a family. The cottage is so convinent to the beach, shopping and great restaurants!!! We would highly recommend this cottage to any family with small kids or a couple that needs a quick getaway! 😊 Becky Sehlhorst October, 2018 #850strong
