Mermaids 3 is the perfect location!
The downstairs outdoor area is great for entertaining. We offer a wood pellet grill, a commercial ice machine and plenty of seating. The outdoor restroom has all the necessities of a full bath… two shower heads, dressing area, and sink with a lighted mirror and outlets.
Head upstairs to an open concept living/kitchen area with 20 foot ceilings and windows galore to give the natural lighting and warmth of a perfect beach day. The great room is bright with panoramic views of the natural sand dunes and wooded area where you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the deer, bald eagles, or other wildlife that call it home. There is also a private sitting area off of the main living room for a peaceful retreat for games or to relax with a great book. The kitchen is fully stocked and features a dining table for 8, a breakfast nook for 6 with 6 more seats at the bar. The pantry offers a coffee bar and drink cooler and right across the way is the laundry with a half bath. There are two bedrooms, one with a queen the other with two twins, with a full bath to accommodate them. This floor also has the large deck with two sitting areas to take in the view.
Upstairs opens to the beautiful living room below with a catwalk to three more bedrooms. The master bedroom, with a king bed, is lined with windows for more amazing views. It also opens up to an upstairs balcony. The master bath has an oversized walk-in shower with 3 luxurious shower heads and a jet tub with a view of the gulf!! You will be in love!! The other two bedrooms have unbelievable views as well. One bedroom has two twins while the other a queen. There is a full bath accessible for these two bedrooms along with a sitting area with access to the upstairs deck. If you would like a few excursions during your stay, we can accommodate you!!

We enjoyed our stay so much! The layout was perfect for our family, and we enjoyed the large gathering spaces for playing games and eating. The house was well-stocked and clean. It was a fantastic location, only a short walk to the beach and great view of boats coming into the marina.

Best house. Best stay.
The most accommodating vacation house. The kitchen, dining & living area was spacious & comfortable with lots of relaxing furniture. The outdoor space was so comfy & spacious too. The best equipped kitchen ever! The owners took good care of us. The beach was not crowded. We will be back!

Not as advertised
Beautiful home. Easy access to beach. Well stocked. Problems—The owner came to the house to ask to use the downstairs bathroom on second day. Another owner showed up and we told him about a wasp nest in that same bathroom and he said he would address it but he was irritated by our request. Got text and asked if owners husband could access the fishing closet on the bottom floor. I thought no problem. He came next am at 5am and took two hours loading his boat for his side hustle—a fishing expedition co. Guests on the boat used the bathroom and left beer bottle in the bathroom. They woke up our grandkids at 5:30 getting ice for their trip. Then they used the shower in that bathroom when they got back. They came back and did the same thing the last day of our stay but the owner said they wouldbe quiet. If you see the vrbo ads with Nick Saban—this is exactly what we experienced and vrbo says they don’t allow shared spaces. Also no wifi, no internet. It’s not that it wasn’t working, they don’t have it and they advertise they do. NO smart TVs. We were busy at beach but couldn’t access programs at night. Owner said we have dish tv. I think you should advertise that. No bikes. No fire pit. No coffee maker. We had ten people and all they had was a Kuerig for individual cups. That would be fine if the listing didn’t tell us there was a coffee maker. We went and bought one. Home is beautiful and spacious. Would just have preferred to have it to ourselves.

Junior High School Spring Break
Jina was GREAT! I was a nervous wreck when I realized how nice and beautiful this home is…I booked it based on the amount of people it accommodated. I messaged Jina at check in about by nervousness and she put me a bit at ease concerning her beautiful home, however I still had 8 teenagers. 😬 Everything went well! and we enjoyed her nice spacious home! It was a great spring break for all! Thank you Jina! 😊❤️

AN AMAZING BEACH VACATION
I can't recommend this place, enough. The house was beautiful. The beds were comfy. It is super clean and roomy. There is a lot of wonderful outdoor space, but it was too hot and muggy, so we lounged in the livingroom (the couches are really comfortable) and enjoyed the AC. It's a short walk to the beach (there is a golf cart to get you half way). The kids flew kites in the backyard and rode bikes (provided) on the rode out front. The owners/hosts were AMAZING! They truly went out of their way to make sure we had a fabulous vacation. The men and the kids went on the deep sea fishing excursion. They had an amazing time. Another day, they took us on the tritoon and we went to the shallows near cape San Blas to swim and snorkel. So much fun! Jenna and Darryl are amazing people. 5 stars is not enough. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
