Once you enter you will see where the property gets its name, Crazy Mermaid! When you enter you will see off to the right, the dining room, but if you go straight behind the wall, you will see the family room with a fireplace, tv and plenty of seating for your whole family. You will also notice that this family room has a beautiful view of the water behind the home, which are canals that run throughout Anna Maria Island. You are welcome to exit the double doors to enjoy the screened in porch also overlooking the pool and canals. andThis is also a great spot to enjoy a morning coffee during the sunrise or at night (although the sun sets on the other side) you can see the beautiful colors of the sky as the sun sets. Heading back into the house, you will notice the kitchen on your left which will have all your necessities to make your family meals, as well as a breakfast bar, for some more casual dining.

The other bedroom will have a king sized bed (made up of two twins). andThe guest bedroom with the king bed also has an entrance/exit to the back patio as well. Heading back out to the family room you will notice there are stairs near the front door. andThese stairs were handmade by the homeowners out of old library bookshelves. Once you get to the top of the handcrafted stairs, you will have another bedroom which will have a full bed. andNext door to that, you will see the master suite. andThe master suite has an attached full bath with double vanities, a large walk in closet, as well as another gorgeous view of the canals behind the house. andWhen you head back downstairs, through the family room to the relaxing screened in porch, you will be able to go down the back staircase leading to the back yard to put dinner on the grill provided. andAt the bottom of the stairs, you will be met by a pristine private pool which overlooks the canal and you will also see a private dock that leads to the waterway. andIf you want to pull up a chair and enjoy being out by the water, you can, or you can also throw a line in and catch some fish!and

Outdated doesn’t Eclectic

Very very outdated house. The old chain link fence takes away from the nice back yard and pool. Location is good especially if boating. The dock is nice minus the garbage in the fish cleaning sink. There’s nothing horribly wrong with the house, but there’s nothing right.

Save yourself health issues and DO NOT STAY HERE

Would not recommend staying at the "Crazy Mermaid". We thought we booked a cute "retro" beach vacation, but instead we walked into a house that reeked of mold (and that wasn't the only problem we encountered; the dryer didn't work, the wallpaper in the downstairs bathroom was peeling, the towel bar was hanging off the wall, there was visible black mold growing under the caulk in the shower/tub). When I contacted the company the day of arrival to inform them of the moldy smell they offered to bring air fresheners. When I voiced concern about our respiratory health, 3 people with autoimmune disorders and having someone pregnant on the trip they said they would get back to me....they never did. I reached out again and they apologized for the lack of response, but said it was because they couldn't have someone come out and do a mold test until the following week....How did that help our situation for our stay? They apologized again and thanked us for helping them provide better service for future guests, but still never offered a solution for our problems. They never offered reimbursement, never offered to help us find somewhere else to stay, and never offered a simple dehumidifier. Basically paid for a vacation to come home with a respiratory infection and headache. P.s I do feel sorry for the home owners, you can tell the place was once a sanctuary for their family and the mold issue is most likely from storm damage, but the company running it needs to be addressed.

Crazy Mermaid Feb 2025

Pros: Great location, can walk to plenty of restaurants, bakeries, beaches. Very functional layout with plenty of space for our group of 6. Large bedroom upstairs is really nice. Listing was accurate. Host was very responsive. Cons: Musty smelling, primarily in the entry way area. Certainly could use some maintenance (paint on the porch floor and steps, etc). Could use a new queen bed on the first bedroom on the left. Kitchen could use a review of dishes and utensils. Didn't seem to have much for drinking glasses, but had so many utensils the drawer was breaking.Overall: We had a great time meeting up with the family. The place works, would stay there again. If it were improved too much, I couldn't afford it!

Great location!

The Crazy Mermaid has a fantastic North End AMI location. Everything was great, except the kitchen cookware, utensils and glassware are very used/beat up - definitely need to be replaced with fresh kitchenware.

Spacious house, good location

We stayed for 3 nights for a girls' weekend. The house is on the canal and walking distance to restaurants, shopping and a beautiful beach. 4 bedrooms and 2 baths were great for the 5 of us. There was good hang out space inside and out by the pool and in a screened in porch. Kitchen has everything if you want to cook and there's a grill. House is dated but clean and couches are new, as is the grill. Property manager was very proactive with communication. Great value

Family get together

Rented the Crazy Mermaid for a week in February. It was the perfect place for my three adult children and two of there spouses along with three granddaughters all under age 4. The pool was heated and enjoyed by the kids and the beach was readily accessible by walk or car. The back bay City Pier was just a short walk. Not the swankiest place I've stayed but perfect for a family with a good "lived in" feeling.

Family reunion at Crazy Mermaid on Anna Maria

We had family from Belgium, Denver, Texas, Minnesota and Florida. We rented two houses with ours being the Mermaid. We found the home clean and comfortable, close to Pine St and the City Pier. We had 7 adults in the home and all were comfortable. We would gladly stay there again. Great vacation spot!!

Just a fun gettaway

Had a great stay at the Mermaid house. The house was perfect for us and in a great area on a canal, kept the bay boat at the dock the whole time and the local boat ramp was close by. Will definitely stay again!

Crazy Mermaid

Roomy, needs more comfortable bed on main floor. Needs nicer sheets. Pillows 😢. Yes, the door buzzed as everyone says to walk out to the screened porch. Not enough time to get out the door. My husband fell trying to get out & is all bruised up. Need grab bars in the shower. Luckily. I was able to reach him, so he could bring a math mat due to the tub being slippery. Sure wish they had bikes or kayaks we could have used. Nice pool. Loved the canal view. Quiet street. Wish the neighbors across canal had dimmers on their bright lights at night. I wanted a place with a pool, canal view, screened in porch and laundry this had all. It was only my husband & I. I don't understand why the rate Included almost double what we were charged per night for a cleaning fee and some other random fee. Pretty ridiculous. We only used 1 bedroom & 1 bath. I wish more places had closet up mirrors. Not as nice as photos made it look. But we enjoyed Anna Marie Island.

Amazing!

Our stay at Crazy Mermaid was fantastic! The house had plenty of space that fit all 8 of us more than comfortably. Beds were cozy and house was stocked with everything we needed- dishes, linens, etc. The pool, where we spent most of our time, was perfect. Property owners/management were accommodating and very easy to get in touch with. Highly recommend this property!
