Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Salty Mermaid was a great vacation home for our group of 14. The bunk beds were perfect. Even though our kids are older this room worked great for all of them to sleep. The view from the top deck is outstanding. The room off the kitchen was very convenient for a lot of people to sit and eat. The house was very clean. The location made it very easy to get to the beach and to walk to the restaurants. The only slight negative is the stairs are a little tough if you are on the top floor. We would definitely recommend this home.
