It has been a pleasure to deal with your agency.
Beautiful house. Pool & hot tub a big hit with my grandchildren and the adults. Walking on the beach and the sunsets were amazing. Walking distance to the restaurants. Wish we could have stayed longer. Walmart near by to purchase groceries.

The Mermaid Lairs is absolutely beautiful, we went on a family trip with 4 adult couples and it was perfect!! We had a few minor issues (as to be expected) and Seaside Property was right there to assist with no hesitation. Our only complaint would be the beds were way to soft and the pillows were bulky and to hard for our liking, but we were able to find normal pillows in the closet which helped.

This was our 3rd consecutive year of a spring vacation to Indian Rocks Beach. We needed a bigger house this year and selected the Mermaid. Everything was great!!! The house was all that we expected. Plenty of space. The pool and hot tub were very warm. There was initially a shortage of beach chairs and the manager responded same day with more chairs. We had a great week. A+
We had a great time at Mermaid's Lair. Everything we needed was under one roof: great kitchen, beds were comfortable, heated pool and hot tub. Sunny areas, shady areas and the beach was beautiful. Staff was extremely helpful and we wanted for nothing at the house. We would stay again!
Beautiful house. Sleeping accommodations weren’t enough for 10 adults. Bunk bed room was more for kids. The Queen sized beds were quite small. However there was a lot of spacein the house and the pool and beach location was awesome.

Family April 24' Vacation
Had a great time together and especially enjoyed the location of the rental home in proximity to the beach and the gorgeous sunsets each evening. Kids had fun on the beach as well as in the pool. Finding a restaurant that wasn't mobbed was a little problem for a party of 9 but the house definitely had a great kitchen with everything available to prepare meals and barbeque. You could literally enjoy the Mermaid's Lair's amenities, the beach, the scenery and the pool without going anywhere for days on end!
