We had 2 families (4 adults, 7 kids). There was a lot of room the spread out and relax. Loved being able to easily walk to the beach!! The beds were comfortable, although the sheets were a little stiff.

Hi Kimberly, thanks for the wonderful review of Salty Mermaid!
This was a fantastic rental for our bachelorette weekend. The check in process was seamless, the house was clean and perfect, and the pool/ beach access was fantastic. Could not have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you for allowing us into this lovely home. We will definitely recommend the Salty Mermaid to anyone who asks!

This house was perfect! Great location, close to the beach, with dedicated beach access, and right by some amazing trails! I walked the trails everyday, we cooked almost every evening, the kitchen had all the needed pots and pans.
We will definitely rent this home again!!

Hi Patti, thanks for the wonderful review, we look forward to hosting you again soon!
The extended family wanted a large, modern, convenient living space for this year's summer vacation. The Salty Mermaid was all of those things and more. The home was very clean and comfortable for our group of 7. The property management is excellent with lots of updates/reminders of check in/out procedures, tips, etc. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Orange Beach.

Hi Erin, thanks for the wonderful review of Salty Mermaid! We are so glad you enjoyed this vacation!
The property was very nice. The master bed is extremely high, I would suggest getting a small stool. Kitchen stocked well, grill is gas cooks quickly. 5 min walk to beach , very nice bike trails behind property. Pool was refreshing and the neighborhood was peaceful.

Hi Shannon, thanks for the great review of Salty Mermaid! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed your beach vacation!
It was a wonderful family beach vacation. I am glad that I selected the Salty Mermaid property, as it was very spacious and clean…it felt like a home away from home. The neighborhood is beautiful and quaint and everyone was very friendly. If you are looking for somewhere to stay that is close enough to the beach and very private, this may be the property for you. The kids enjoyed swimming at the clubhouse and the pool is not very deep, so we were comfortable with my 3 year old nephew being in the pool.

Nice neighborhood. Spacious and clean rooms. Well appointed kitchen. Clean pool a few houses away. Close to everything! Bring your bikes to ride the miles of trails. The house backs up to the Gulf State Park. Easy walk to the beach. Nice bin of beach chairs, umbrellas, etc… Great house! Great time!

Hi, thanks for the wonderful review! We're glad you had a wonderful vacation! Thanks for choosing Harris Vacations!
Such a beautiful home in a very cute beach community. There was my husband, myself and three college students. The home was very clean and spacious we all had our own room and bathroom. It’s a short walk to the beach which was clean. We also used the pool in the evenings which was very convenient. The property manager was easy to reach, checked on us and responded quickly when we had a question. The community was quiet and peaceful. We were very pleased.

Hi Lark, thanks for the wonderful review! We're glad you had a wonderful vacation! Thanks for choosing Harris Vacations!
This gorgeous house near the beach was great for our group of 7-10 (depended on the night). The beds were comfortable which the young sailors recently out of boot camp we hosted greatly appreciated. Lots of dishes and cookware, towels and bedding. The only 2 negatives were dirty cooking utensils and oven mitts and the shower curtain in the front bath is too short and caused a mess on the floor. Besides that I highly recommend this rental.
