We rented two houses with ours being the Mermaid. We found the home clean and comfortable, close to Pine St and the City Pier. We had 7 adults in the home and all were comfortable. We would gladly stay there again. Great vacation spot!! ##### Dean E.

The old chain link fence takes away from the nice back yard and pool. Location is good especially if boating. The dock is nice minus the garbage in the fish cleaning sink. There’s nothing horribly wrong with the house, but there’s nothing right. ##### Matt C.

It was the perfect place for my three adult children and two of there spouses along with three granddaughters all under age 4\. The pool was heated and enjoyed by the kids and the beach was readily accessible by walk or car. The back bay City Pier was just a short walk. Not the swankiest place I've stayed but perfect for a family with a good "lived in" feeling. ##### Thom H.

The house is on the canal and walking distance to restaurants, shopping and a beautiful beach. 4 bedrooms and 2 baths were great for the 5 of us. There was good hang out space inside and out by the pool and in a screened in porch. Kitchen has everything if you want to cook and there's a grill. House is dated but clean and couches are new, as is the grill. Property manager was very proactive with communication. Great value ##### Sue H.

Very functional layout with plenty of space for our group of 6\. Large bedroom upstairs is really nice. Listing was accurate. Host was very responsive. Cons: Musty smelling, primarily in the entry way area. Certainly could use some maintenance (paint on the porch floor and steps, etc). Could use a new queen bed on the first bedroom on the left. Kitchen could use a review of dishes and utensils. Didn't seem to have much for drinking glasses, but had so many utensils the drawer was breaking.Overall: We had a great time meeting up with the family. The place works, would stay there again. If it were improved too much, I couldn't afford it! ##### Brian P.

Our stay at Crazy Mermaid was fantastic! The house had plenty of space that fit all 8 of us more than comfortably. Beds were cozy and house was stocked with everything we needed- dishes, linens, etc. The pool, where we spent most of our time, was perfect. Property owners/management were accommodating and very easy to get in touch with. Highly recommend this property! ##### Kaila S.

Needs nicer sheets. Pillows 😢. Yes, the door buzzed as everyone says to walk out to the screened porch. Not enough time to get out the door. My husband fell trying to get out & is all bruised up. Need grab bars in the shower. Luckily. I was able to reach him, so he could bring a math mat due to the tub being slippery. Sure wish they had bikes or kayaks we could have used. Nice pool. Loved the canal view. Quiet street. Wish the neighbors across canal had dimmers on their bright lights at night. I wanted a place with a pool, canal view, screened in porch and laundry this had all. It was only my husband & I. I don't understand why the rate Included almost double what we were charged per night for a cleaning fee and some other random fee. Pretty ridiculous. We only used 1 bedroom & 1 bath. I wish more places had closet up mirrors. Not as nice as photos made it look. But we enjoyed Anna Marie Island. ##### Rhonda G.

We thought we booked a cute "retro" beach vacation, but instead we walked into a house that reeked of mold (and that wasn't the only problem we encountered; the dryer didn't work, the wallpaper in the downstairs bathroom was peeling, the towel bar was hanging off the wall, there was visible black mold growing under the caulk in the shower/tub). When I contacted the company the day of arrival to inform them of the moldy smell they offered to bring air fresheners. When I voiced concern about our respiratory health, 3 people with autoimmune disorders and having someone pregnant on the trip they said they would get back to me....they never did. I reached out again and they apologized for the lack of response, but said it was because they couldn't have someone come out and do a mold test until the following week....How did that help our situation for our stay? They apologized again and thanked us for helping them provide better service for future guests, but still never offered a solution for our problems. They never offered reimbursement, never offered to help us find somewhere else to stay, and never offered a simple dehumidifier. Basically paid for a vacation to come home with a respiratory infection and headache. P.s I do feel sorry for the home owners, you can tell the place was once a sanctuary for their family and the mold issue is most likely from storm damage, but the company running it needs to be addressed. ##### Taylor J.
