We’ve stayed at the Happy Mermaid each year for more than 6 years. We love the quiet neighborhood, convenience to the beach, shops & great dining. House always has everything we need & is super clean. Host is easy to communicate with. Will definitely be back!

Second time staying at The Happy Mermaid. Everything about it is awesome...property, location, neighborhood, value, communication with the owner, etc. We'll be back.

This was my mother’s fourth stay at The Happy Mermaid and I’m so glad we joined her this year! The cottage is clean, beautifully decorated and has everything we needed. I loved the location inside the gated community, super close to great restaurants, shopping and especially the beach. Will definitely be back soon!
