Nothing Blue about it!
We chose the Blue Mermaid for our first family beach trip since our twins (2 years olds) came along. We found the property to be just as described. We had plenty of room and it was quiet! We loved that our dogs could come and enjoy the beach as well. The owner's have a good variety of pots, pans, and even a crockpot. Everything was easy to find. I hope that we checked out ok, we didn't see any directions so we just did like we have in the past when leaving a rental. We definitely recommend this house and its owners! We will look forward to next time!

Wonderful getaway
The Blue Mermaid was an excellent place to stay for our beach getaway! The house was exactly as pictured. It was so clean, the beds were very comfortable, and we had what we needed. There was plenty of seating both inside and outside, I especially liked the upstairs beach side balcony for star gazing. The beach and the bay can be seen from the house and both are a short walk away (with beach access). The host was quick to respond, helpful, considerate, and accommodating! Cape San Blas is a wonderfully quiet strip of beach as well with a quaint small town. There's a kayak/paddleboard/bike rental shop in walking distance of the house and a fantastic biking/walking path along the side of the road. There's also a park within walking distance with piers along the bay and pickleball courts and a fire pit! We so enjoyed are time and wish we could have stayed longer. We plan to return!

Family reunion at the Blue Mermaid
We were a party of 5 adults who met at the beach house to celebrate our mother's 80th birthday! The property was just as described. The amenities were perfect and the house was well equipped. It was bright and cheerful, clean and comfortable. The location was wonderful. Close to the beach, just a short walk. There are miles of beach to enjoy, for fishing, walking, collecting sea shells or just relaxing. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and responded quickly to my questions. They were very helpful. There is a great little seafood restaurant and a small market just down the street. Both Port St. Joe and Apalachicola are a short drive away (15-20 minutes) and offer grocery shops, pharmacy, plenty of restaurants, cafes and quaint shops. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend The Blue Mermaid to anyone.

We had a great time. My wife and I climbed the spiral staircase and slept on the top. Her parents stayed in the two other bedrooms. We used the kitchen and sat at the dining table mostly.

Scallop weekend
Everything was great and easy. Loved the place. Internet was not working tho so no tv! Modem was bad-not managers fault! Beach was a little farther away than we thought-hard to walk to due to needing hip replacement/bone cancer but not management fault.

Great house close to the beach
The house is amazing. Very close walk to the beach and there was hardly anyone on the beach. We fished everyday and caught everything from pompano to sharks.

The best getaway!
Myself and 7 of my friends wanted a beach trip after our spring semester of college was over, and this house was perfect. It had the perfect amount of space for us, and the owners were so responsive when we had any issues or questions. They had the house stocked with supplies that most other places I’ve stayed would not have provided. I am so very thankful we stayed here and would love to come back next year!!

The owners were absolutely amazing. Everything was so easy for us when we arrived!!! Overall it was the greatest stay ever for us!!!! 5 Star for sure!!!!

Relaxing spring break
Property was exactly as advertised. We enjoyed a relaxing week on the beach with our kids for spring break. Beach was just a short walk from the house. Property was very comfortable and the host was very responsive the few times we needed to contact him.

Forest location
The best part of the location is the forest next to the house. The two lounge chairs on the back porch can be located so that you look at all the trees and land. It is a beautiful view.

Relaxing beach vacation
The perfect home for our week at the beach. Excellent location with views of the gulf and the bay, a short walk to get your toes in the sand! The property exceeded our expectations! We really appreciate all of the extras that the owners have included, it really made it feel like home. We would absolutely stay again and would recommend it to others.

A bit of Mermaid Bliss
The home was lovely and a great stay. Clean, and nicely appointed. The bed was very comfortable. The location is a bit of a walk to the beach but the overall location is a great launching point to explore nearby spots further up Cape San Blas, Port St. Joe, Apalachicola, and St. George Island. We had a wonderful stay.
