Welcome to Mermaid Manor — a cozy, mermaid-inspired coastal retreat on the ground floor of a beautifully renovated blue beach home. You get your own private entrance, a completely self-contained space, and total privacy with none of the cookie-cutter feel of a standard rental.
The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area is bright and welcoming. The kitchen is set up for real cooking — you'll find a full-size refrigerator, a professional countertop convection oven that handles everything from roasted fish to baked goods, dual burner cooktop, microwave, coffee bar, blender, wine glasses, baking sheets, and all the cookware and basics you need. The only thing missing is a traditional range — and most guests never notice.
The sleeping area features a comfortable queen bed, a separate vanity nook, and a daybed with trundle — flexible for a third guest when needed. The open layout keeps the cottage feeling airy rather than compartmentalized. The full bathroom is stocked with toiletries and fresh linens.
Outside, you have your own private screened-in porch — perfect for morning coffee or evening wine without the bugs — plus a fire pit in the shared backyard for stargazing nights. Additional outdoor amenities include an outdoor shower and a fish cleaning station, plus free boat parking on a first-come basis.
Free laundry is available on premises. Beach towels, umbrella, and beach chairs are on site — just grab and go. A dedicated workspace means you can work remotely without sacrificing your vacation vibe. Single level, no stairs, smart lock self check-in.
Mermaid Manor is proudly dog-friendly with no pet fee — ever. Up to 2 pets welcome.
