The Salty Mermaid cottage met and exceeded all expectations 100%. PennMarie was so sweet and accommodating, I couldn't have asked for more. The property was beautiful, clean, welcoming and super pet friendly. There were even pet bowls, pet toys, and a pet bed provided. We were very happy with our stay and would highly recommend the property.

beautiful home!

The house was beautiful! They put alot of thought into every little decoration around the house, alot of it looked custom. Definitely has major beach house vibes! The house has everything you need! Board games, TV's in every room, and even beach supplies! The bed was one of the comfiest ive ever slept on. It was like laying on a cloud! Check-in and out was super easy with no crazy check-out requirements. Little to no instructions at all that I was aware of. Pretty much right across the street from a nice beach park with restrooms, showers, and a playground. Very peaceful and quiet neighborhood. Would stay again!

Great beach house!

This is a wonderful beach house decorated so cute with the mermaid theme. It is a fantastic location right across from park. you can walk to park and see the beautiful sunrise. Also close to beach restaurants and yet very private patio. It is updated except for bathroom which is small but adequate.

Perfect Stay

My two kids and I stayed at The Salty Mermaid Cottage for 3 nights and it was absolutely perfect. The cottage was clean, beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything we could need - from snacks, coffee and tea, towels, to beach chairs and a wagon. Oh, and even toothbrushes and toothpaste for each guest! Just in case we forgot. We felt so welcome and taken care of. The home itself is very well located. Just a few minutes' walk from the beach in a quiet neighborhood. The host is available to help with any questions through the app and helped us with a couple of things throughout our stay, communicating with us very quickly. I hope that the next time we are planning a trip to this part of Florida, The Salty Mermaid will be available for us to stay at! We wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. Thank you again Penny for a memorable stay!
