We had a wonderful family vacation! With small children, it was great being so close to the beach!! We had everything we needed!! The kitchen was well equipped too!
This house was the perfect getaway for our family vacation with four couples and three kids. There is enough room for everyone to be together and enough separate spaces for everyone when needed. The beach was amazing and even though it’s just a couple lots away from beach driving access, it never felt too crowded. The pics still show a sand path to the beach but there is boardwalk access shared with the home next door. The views are amazing from each of the decks but the sunrise from the rooftop was a fan fav of our family each morning. Thanks for an amazing and memorable stay in this special home!
The house was perfect for hosting 7 guests. There was plenty of room to be together, and enough space throughout the house that we could spread out. Not every house has a kitchen table that can accommodate a large group, which we appreciated. The views and beach access were amazing! We didn’t need to contact the host for a thing during our stay, and all our pre-travel questions were answered quickly.
Our stay at the Mermaid Castle was absolutely wonderful. The ocean view was breathtaking. The rooms were beautifully set up and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed, making it perfect for our ladies getaway. The space was comfortable, inviting, and ideal for relaxing, laughing, and spending quality time together. We truly felt at home and would happily return for another stay. Thank you so much!!
Great place to stay. We had 4 couples there for a week. The layout has great views and plenty of space. The owners are very responsive to questions and everything was as expected.
loved our stay at the Mermaid castle. The house was beautiful and had amazing views. Its steps from the beach so we were able to be back and forth from the water without breaking a sweat. The host was amazing and responded to questions in a timely manner and even came out to the property for some quick maintenance that was requested. 100% would book again.
Loved this property . Great location. Very nicely decided. Recommend this property.
My only concerns was the doors locking securely and the public access and parking is next to house and directly in front of house and beach.
Stayed 4 nights in May 2022

Hi Donna,
The house has 3 point locking doors, which are more safe than standard doors. There are labels on the doors explaining how to lock them and they are very secure. All of the beaches on Amelia Island are public so we have no control over other people being on the beach by the house!
Our stay at the house was amazing. The home was perfect for our group. The view was absolutely beautiful. We loved everything about the house. The beds were comfortable, the rooms were spacious and we especially enjoyed the living room area adjacent to the master room on the third level. I would definitely recommend this house to my friends and family. Thank you Jenny for letting us stay in your beautiful home, it is absolutely spectacular
The property is beautiful. the location to the beach is excellent. The sunrises were awesome to watch from the master suite. the main floor is set up perfectly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay
First class property that was very enjoyable for our entire family. Views of the beach amazing, watch the sunrise from almost every room, and great decks to have cocktails.Owners great with instructions and touching base to make sure everything was going well with our visit.
Celebrated 60 at the Mermaid Castle with Girlfriends. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked and beach views amazing. Perfect retreat for a family or friend holiday together with many private areas to have alone time if needed. The sunrise from the top terrace was spectacular!
Fantastic house and even better location! The views are stunning and the house is better than advertised. Hosts were quick with communications and the check-in/check-out procedures were a breeze. Would definitely rent again next time we're on the island.
This property was fantastic! We had a blast at the beach and at the property. The rooms were very well put together and beautiful, as well as all of the amenities. The property owner was also SUPER responsive to us whenever we had a question and was on top of it. We would highly recommend. Erin
The house was as advertised. Very comfortable and roomy. Very clean and well stocked kitchen. Waking up to view of the ocean every morning was magical! When we headed to the beach it was a short walk over the dunes. Very nice house which provided a very nice getaway.
The Mermaid Castle was perfect. Very well appointed and just as advertised. It was the best stocked kitchen I have ever stayed in. Views were killer, especially from the roof deck. Beds were comfortable and the AC unit worked wonderfully and kept the house very comfortable. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this wonderful house.
This property was amazing. Beautiful views from all levels. Awesome beach access. Was perfect for our extended family to gather. Property manager was extremely attentive in answering questions, etc. We would definitely stay here again and we would highly recommend to others.
Beautiful house with excellent ocean views and beach access. Very clean with updated kitchen and baths. Great for family gatherings or for several couples. Everything was top-notch. We had a fantastic time there.
