Mermaid's Retreat 30A is the perfect escape, with an unbeatable location just 100 steps from the beach access and along 30A between Alys Beach and the Hub. The 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath home sleeps 12 in beds and features a fully fenced in private pool, four complimentary adult bikes, new transitional/coastal decor, and gorgeous views of the sparkling Gulf from the third floor lookout.

The kitchen has everything needed for indoor entertaining, including stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a drip coffee maker and Keurig, crock pot, and brand new dishes and utensils. There is seating for 12 between the dining table (8) and bar (4). Plenty of counter space and an open living concept makes cooking and entertaining a pleasure!

The home is fully equipped for families to spend quality time together, with a wide assortment of puzzles, books, kids books, DVDs and board games. For sports and TV time, the home has 6 TVs, with the largest (65") in the living room and a TV and DVD player in each bedroom. For those traveling with the younger set, we include worry-free plastic plates, cups and utensils, two baby gates, a pack and play and mattress, and booster seat. Additionally, there are no worries about safety, as exterior cameras are in place.

Mermaids Retreat 30A is located on scenic 30A, perfect for watching bike riders and viewing the beautiful Emerald Coast. Laid in a quiet residential area but close to all of the action, the home is located within walking distance to Alys Beach and The Hub (~1 mile, 5-7 min bike ride), which provide great family entertainment and numerous restaurants. The location is also only a short 3-5 minute bike ride from Camp Creek coastal dune lake and a 10 minute bike ride to Rosemary, with its incredible Sunday Farmers Market. Four adult bikes are provided for your convenience.

Now for the best part, the BEACH! Mermaids Retreat 30A is only a 45 second walk to a breathtaking quiet beach by way of the beach access across the street. There you will find the sugar white sands and crystal clear waters of the Emerald Coast. This is one of the best perks of the house as you and your companions can use the provided chairs and umbrellas to quickly go from the front door to having your toes in the sand, with the ease of running back and forth for lunch or a quick dip in the pool. The neighborhood beach access effectively serves the surrounding homes down Seacrest drive and has no golf cart parking, making it less crowded than many areas along 30A. You'll never be three rows deep here.

We had a fantastic stay at Mermaids Retreat. The property was beautiful and offered every amenity we could have hoped for. Communication with the owner was outstanding from start to finish, making everything smooth and stress-free. The location was incredibly convenient, just steps across from the beach access, which made our days at the beach effortless.Although bikes were available for use, we spent most of our time enjoying the wonderful private pool each afternoon after returning from the beach. It quickly became one of our favorite parts of the stay.Mermaids Retreat was the perfect place for my wife and me to celebrate my retirement, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend this property and would love to stay again.

I can not recommend this place enough. We traveled with families with littles and it was perfect location with beach access just across the street and the pool was amazing. The host was responsive and helpful to all of our needs. This is the most well stocked house I can ever stayed at as far as kitchen needs, towels, beach chairs/ gear, pool toys, floats, etc. We ended up not needing stuff that we had packed because they had it all. The house was perfect for multiple families. Grill was clean and ready to use (which I feel like is rare) and the string lights in the back brought the perfect ambience. Smart TVs were so easy to use. Couch was big and comfortable and nice for large families. Plenty of seating everywhere. Again, everything for this place was perfect, and I cant wait to stay here again!

Such a well-stocked home and the location was perfect! Owner was very responsive to any questions we had before and during our stay. The screen porch was an extra bonus, we spent several hours out there. Hope to be back next year, thank you!
