We have been asked many times but I am sorry to say that there isn't a fire pit. While the view is fantastic, the winds are a bit strong at times for a fire pit. However, there are fire pits along the Mississippi Gulf Coast (only 2 miles from the property) that can be reserved at the site below. These are very nice with great views directly onto the Gulf of Mexico. https://harrisoncountyms.gov/how_do_i_/apply_for/sand_beach.php
Please be advised that this is a coastal property and is subject to casual flooding of the yard in the case of strong South by Southeast winds during storms and fronts on the Gulf of Mexico. These situations are not a daily occurrence but may happen during stormy conditions. It is always our intent to monitor and advise the best that we can when these situations are predicted by the local weather authorities.

Our stay here was great! The location was perfect — close to the event but still quiet enough to relax and fish after long day. The property was spotless, cozy, and had all the little touches that made it feel like home. The host was amazing — super responsive and made check-in simple and stress-free. We’ll definitely be booking this place again for our trip next year. Highly recommended!
It was the most pleasant stay that I've ever had, from the check in to the checkout. The owner was very, very friendly, he stayed in contact and made our stay very pleasant. The home is very spacious. The location is very convenient, especially if you love fishing and crabbing. You can't go wrong by choosing this location for your stay!!!!!
water front fish jump ALL the time , 15-18 to literally everything , nice porch for boat watching , owner very responsive and nice may be one of our favorite places to visit.
The house was wonderful. We caught a lot of crabs. The home has a nice kitchen and comfy beds. There were many things in the living room for the kids to play with. It was worth the stay, even though we had to drive a bit to get to the beach. The owner was also very nice!
This spot is perfect! We enjoyed amazing sunset and sunrise views. Caught a few fish. Kayak freindly!! Especially fishing from your kayak. Convient to the beach, bayou, attractions, and it gives you a place away from the beach to unwind. The owner, Jimmy, was very friendly and checked in multiple times during our stay. His suggestions were spot on. Lil' Ray's for Po' Boys did not disappoint as he assured us they would not! We enjoyed our week and would gladly book this place in the future!
The host was amazing. Great interaction. The place was beautiful and relaxing. The guys had a great time fishing off the dock. Caught some neat fish and a crab. Would go back again.
We had a wonderful stay at the bayou. Mr. Jimmy was amazing and available at a phone call. The house was great. We enjoyed fishing from the dock. Caught many different fish. Check in and out was a breeze. Would definitely recommend.
By far the best experience we have had! We travel as friends very often from local vacations to oversees adventures. The communication with Jimmy was better than we had hoped for. He truly cares about his guests and made sure we had an amazing weekend. Mermaids Landing is exactly as pictured with many extra bonuses… the boat access was exactly what we were looking for but a weekend without a boat would have been just as great! The local bars and restaurants were definitely a plus! We will definitely be back many, many times!
This place is just stunning .We had a wonderful time .
Loved fishing from the dock and sitting on that back porch at night .We would definitely stay again
We had a complete family down for a week had a great time The place was clean neat and well taken care of The owner was very nice helpful and friendly would recommend it to any family to go down that wanted privacy a place to fish and a place for the family to enjoy each other wonderful place to go recommended to anybody
My whole family loved our stay at Mermaid Landing. We were so close to shopping and the beach. Plus we were able to get up whenever we felt like it and step out on the pier and fish.
We had a blast, great place for family, my grandson fished off the deck, didn't want to come in at night for supper. Much needed time for my family. Would highly recommend this place for family time. very close to everything, beach, shops, casino.
Great property and location. Great communication with the owner. One of the best properties i have stayed at. Will definitely be backfor conference next year.
