About the host
Hosted by melanie shaw
Hi, I am Melanie. When I was raising my kids and going on vacation, there were so many things that I wish were offered in the condo's we stayed in. That is why The Lazy Mermaid is stocked with cleaning products for guests, beach toys, tennis rackets, DVDs, art supplies, board games and more.
Why they chose this property
I love Sandpiper Cove because it truly is a beachside resort atmosphere.
It is family friendly and has 24 hour security so that only guests and owners are allowed on property.

What makes this property unique
The Lazy Mermaid is a unique place to stay because it is right on the canal. Guests can watch fish, turtle, ducks and birds. If I guest wants to do some fishing, all they have to do is grab a pole and walk out the door and down to the canal.
