The house was perfect for our family. April and Stefan are great hosts and we appreciated the fact they lived adjacent to the property. Very helpful. Ready to address any questions and knowledgeable about the area. The pool was perfect and heated. Loved the screened in porch for outdoor meals. Essential supplies provided. Would definitely rent again!

Mermaid Bay was fantastic - easy check-in, great communication and all of the amenities that you need. They had more than enough toiletries and extras for the bathrooms. We were happy to use the beautiful pool and enjoy the screened in porch. It was really windy one day and the owner came over and got leaves out of the pool. It is close to a lot of stuff and easy to access! Highly recommend

Great house. 3 bedeooms and office/suite room with pull out. Large living room with comfy sofas. Amazing retro kitchen and fabulous pool! Well stocked linens and kitchen pots and pans, dishes, etc. Would absolutely stay here again. My 9 and 10 year old were in heaven. Easy to get to and get around.

Our family had a wonderful time at Mermaid Bay! We had 5 adults and 2 children (1 and 3). The house is large enough for everyone to have their own space. April and Stefan were fantastic hosts. There were a few minor things that needed fixing during our stay, and they were quick to get it done. The pool was great and we noticed that our skin did not get dry or itchy as you often experience from pools. We enjoyed watching the neighborhood iguanas and other lizards right in the back yard. The property is close to multiple parks that the kids enjoyed. It is also close to any shopping or restaurants that you could imagine. We had a few fun days at the beach and it was nice to have beach chairs, towels, and sand toys to use. With having young kids, we spent most of our time at the property. We did venture out to Butterfly World and Gumbo Limbo Nature Center. Both were good experiences! We will keep Mermaid Bay in mind the next time we’re looking for a relaxing vacation!

This property was better than expected! First, April and Stephan are wonderful hosts. They were available, honest, easy to work with and approachable. They made the process easy! The house was an older home, but well maintained. It was so very clean. We were very comfortable there. They provided all of the essentials, which made traveling easier. Each bathroom, (3 full ones), were stocked with shampoo, conditioner and body wash. They provided all the paper goods. There were plenty of extra pillows and blankets - and the bed were made nicely upon arrival. They provided an abundance of towels, as well as a surplus of beach/pool towels. They provided coffee and sugars, as well as condiments like salt/pepper, ketchup and spices. This made settling in so easy. The house met all of our needs and we were extremely comfortable there. But...it's the back yard that made the vacation week!!! The pool and patio are spectacular! It was like a private oasis. The pool was warm and crystal clear. There were pool loungers and patio chairs. There were plenty of umbrellas if you wanted shade. This back yard made all the ages with us happy. We had coffee on the patio every morning and finished each day all together- some swimming, some relaxing on chairs~ us, the kids and the grandparents too! The location was within walking distance to a restaurant. This also turned out to be a surprising A+ situation. We were able to take a short stroll to grab a bite and a drink. Soooo easy! And, being there with older teenagers and kids in their early 20's, allowed them to venture off to eat on their own schedules. It was a win! When travelling, you often have only 1 car for your group. Having a restaurant close by allowed everyone to eat on their own schedule if they chose. The location is also a short distance to a grocery store and a pharmacy. This too was a plus. We were able to stock the house with some meal prep which made mornings easier. And, close by were an abundance of other restaurants which was fantastic. As for the beach....AMAZING. We are familiar with other parts of Florida, but Deerfield was a new destination for us. It was a great beach and boardwalk area!!!! Beautiful white sands with so many restaurants and shops right there. No need to pack anything. If you got hungry while at the beach, you could walk 20 steps and grab a sandwich, pizza or ice cream. Or take a break and sit down for a meal! We can't wait to go back!!
