Beautiful cottage, steps from the beach

We absolutely loved our stay at the Marmalade Mermaid! We had a group of 8 and there was plenty of room for all of us to spread out. The decor was beautiful and everything was very clean upon check in. The house had everything we needed and we were a short walk across the street from the beach. We loved the large porch, swim spa and all the beach equipment. We had a couple minor problems and they were addressed very quickly. Communication was excellent. Would definitely stay again!

Such a cute house! The colors, the charm, the proximity to the beach and the little details available for the guest made our stay so fantastic! There’s literally nothing missing. From kitchen utensils to towels and bed sheets. Everything you need they have. The backyard is super chill and relaxing. The porch swing was everyone’s favorite. Just amazing all the way around.

Great week at the beach. We loved the cottage - only complaint would be that the A/C in the main part never cooled the bedrooms. The 3rd bedroom had a separate system and was a great temperature. Would definitely rent again !

Great Beach Cottage

We enjoyed our stay at Marmalade Mermaid. It is a quaint beach cottage. It is bigger than it looks and the cottage is clean and well-furnished and decorated with a coastal theme. Plenty of room for our family of seven. We really enjoyed the wrap-around porch. It is a convenient location very close to the beach and a number of restaurants and shops - easy walking distance. The management company was helpful and responsive. We would stay at the cottage again.

Great Vacation!

Our family (7 adults) recently stayed at Marmalade Mermaid and loved it! Walking distance to our favorite beach as well as our favorite shopping, dining, nigh life locations. House had plenty of room and we loved having 3 full baths as well as an outdoor shower and hot tub. All that and being right across the street from the beach made it the prefect place for our family vacation. We will be back! Dave M

Great family vacation house!

This is a beautiful and comfortable home and we enjoyed our stay immensely! It was literally steps from the beach. The pool was a nice bonus. Between the AC and the fans in every room, the house stayed at a comfortable temperature, even at 90 degrees outside. The porch and the swimspa were great. We loved all the decor.

We had a phenomenal stay at this Vrbo for our family of 8! The home was incredibly spacious, giving everyone plenty of room to relax and enjoy our time together. Everything was exactly as described in the listing, which made planning our trip so easy and stress-free.The location truly could not have been better — right across from the beach and close to everything we needed. The warm pool was a huge bonus and perfect for unwinding after a day in the sun. We also really appreciated the thoughtful amenities. There were plenty of towels for each guest, and having beach chairs, an umbrella, wagon, and toys provided made our beach days effortless and fun.The office was extremely responsive and helpful whenever we had a question, which added to the overall positive experience. While the home is a little dated, we actually found it to be perfect for us. The décor was top-tier, very beachy, and created such a relaxing vacation vibe.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property to other families looking for a comfortable, convenient, and enjoyable beach getaway!
