Mermaid Cottage: Themed house! 5 mi. from pier, 3br, grill, deck, bunk bed

Hidden in plain sight with a purple door, this Fort Walton Beach coastal farmhouse humbly offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. (7guests) 4 parking spaces, a front and backyard patio and 10 minutes from free beaches!


The open floor plan invites friends and families to gather around the living/dining area with a sectional couch, barstools, and a chair woven from banana leaves. There is a mounted smart TV (Shell-a-vision) with several music and entertainment apps to choose from.

Both bathrooms are equipped with hair dryers, shampoo, conditioner and body wash, makeup removing towels, bamboo bath mats, and a bidet in the master.

Bedroom 1: Bucaneer Bunk serves a pirate themed curation of local or custom theme artifacts to highlight real local pirate history, as well as a mounted Roku TV with an Xbox you may use with your own login!
It also contains an array of books in a barrel shaped shelf arranged Montessori style. Adult interests on top, child friendly material at the bottom, and even some dress up items like mermaid tails and pirate hats stored in a barrel style table.

BR2: Siren Sanctuary is ideal for the WFH person in the group. A wall mounted desk, a monitor if needed, a few drawers, lamp and dreamy decor tucked at the back of the house makes for a distraction free environment for any professional/introvert.

BR3: Beige-mom Bungalow is last but not least a luxurious, neutral master with hotel standard decor and linens. Private bathroom with a charming farmhouse sliding door.

Garage: "Treasure island" is a selfie station curation. Washer/dryer, backyard entrance for dogs, everything you could think of for the beach from towels to toys set up in vintage luggage trunks, and a sectional to hang out on.

Backyard: "Mermaid Haven" features a custom built deck with string lights next to a quaint fountain, and newly installed paving stone sitting area, complete with adirondack chairs with propane grill.
Turtle stepping stones lead you to the deck with a portable firepit where everyone can roast marshmallows.
