Good room and great location, just fix some stuff

The room was good and clean. Its a perfect spot just off the beach. My only issue was the back door to the beach was broken and couldnt be locked from the outside so You had to walk around, also the blinds for the back door were broken but functional. The room was good but for the price just fix the door and blinds,

This hotel is right in front of the ocean, no obstruction, the patio is above the sand, so you don’t have people pearling in your room. It is perfect! The decor inside is beautiful, parking is right in front of your room. They anticipate your needs. It was great

Great location, beautiful rooms, amazing service.

We made a reservation at the Salty Mermaid later in the day and arrived on site after hours. We called the after hours number and they helped us to get into the room and have a place for the night despite not being able to verify our reservation. Amazing service. The rooms are super cute and perfect size for a couple or small family. Right on the beach and it’s only 5 units so it’s small and private. Would hands down stay here again.
