Perfect house for our vacation. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our family of 5. Everything felt and looked clean. It was nice not having to climb stairs. Beautiful location, easy walk to the beach. All amenities and descriptions were accurate as listed online
Great location and community. Everything you need provided. Clean and spacious. Love the private pool and patio area. Perfect relaxing spot. We will be back!
We had a wonderful stay at Merganser Ct. The beach was super close and there is a nice short pathway to it which was very useful when bringing beach gear for numerous kids. We loved spending the day on the beach and cooling off after dinner in the pool. We all enjoyed the short walk to the Salty Dog Ice Cream parlor, restaurant and shops. We appreciated the bike access as well, taking bike rides both through the paths and on the beach. We would highly recommend the house for one or two families and would definitely consider staying here again given all its great amenities and location!
Had a great vacation! Property was very pleasant and short walk to the beach. Neighborhood is very quiet. Pool was refreshing. We had plenty of towels and beach towels. Our dog enjoyed the stay as well. This vacation home included bikes. We rode down to salty dog and on the beach .
One of the baskets on the bike is broken. Just fyi.
All amenities included were what we needed. Clean linens, clean kitchen. Stove/oven looked new. Bed comforter in the master bedroom was soft. We didnt use the other 2 rooms. Since it was just me and my husband.
There are a few beach toys available for use if you bring kids.
We stayed 5 nights. We definitely would love to come back. Thank you for having us!
Location is perfect. This is our second time staying at this property. House layout is good for a family with a nice private backyard to extend your living space and enjoyment of being outside.
A/C has issues and should be addressed; i don't think it ever turned off...went up to 77 during the day and took all night to cool back down. Otherwise, the house, layout, furnishings, and location were AWESOME!
We had a wonderful week. Location to beach doesn’t get much better. I will say that some attention really does need to be placed on having someone come in and truly clean EVERYTHING! The showers need help. Other than that the house is great. Hope to return next summer.
Great location. This is the second time we have stayed here. The property could use some updating. Primary bedroom needs new carpet there are to many stains on it or it needs a good cleaning. It needs new pots, pans, cups and silverware. Also, the dishwasher doesn't get anything clean. Really all minor things. I would definitely stay here again. Its pet friendly, has a pool and fits my family.

Good location but house is in need of a good cleaning. Floor was dirty, walls dirty. In need of replacement of carpets, beds uncomfortable. Outside furniture by table broken. The pool is a nice addition.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at 4 Mersanger! The property is well kept and equipped with everything needed as a home away from home. It’s located on a tranquil lagoon where, just by chance, I was looking out the kitchen window and saw an approximately 8-foot alligator cruising by. Even though we’re used to seeing alligators where we live, it was still exciting to see one there. You just need to remember to leave them alone and they’ll leave you alone, and never feed them.
The heated pool was wonderful, and we loved the peace and quiet. My son-in-law went surf fishing several times during our stay. We couldn’t have picked a more perfect property for our annual beach getaway. Many thanks to the homeowners and The Vacation Company.
Beautiful and comfortable property in a lovely neighborhood near the beach.
The process was easy and quick.

Excellent location but needs some TLc
While we enjoyed the location of this house (3 min walk to the beach and a 5 minute walk to south beach marina/salty dog), it is in major need of TLC. Upon arrival, we called vacation company to let them know that the windows were extremely dirty (to the point you couldn’t see through them) and halfway through our stay, the keypad stopped working and we were locked out. To the Vacation Company’s credit, in each instance they sent someone right away and each of these issue was promptly resolved. We also loved the pool (although it is in need of cleaning), and the size was perfect for a family of 5.
Upon check out, I let the company know of the following issues that we noticed throughout our stay so that they can be remedied for future guests.
1. General cleanliness- house smelled musty upon arrival/floors and counters were dusty.
2. Dining room table Light bulb needs replacing
3. Dog hair all over couch
4. Shower head in middle room needs replacing
5. Microwave button and door need to be fixed.
6. Ice maker makes ice but doesnt dispense through door
7. Stove - No labels on the stove and kept turning off.
8. Master Closet door doesnt close
9. Return Vents filthy
10. Bottom of Pool is very dirty, as is the surrounding pool deck (full of dirt).
11. Bunk room dresser drawer needs to be fixed.
12. There was tons of lint in dryer (fire hazard)
13. Need chair felt pads on kitchen chairs. They are very difficult to move on the tile.
14. Dryer doesnt fully dry. Takes at least two cycles even on the hottest/longest setting.
Also note there is no child lock on the patio door so consider bringing your own or better yet, the house should come with one.
I think this house definitely has the potential to be a 4/5 star house given its amazing location and great pool if the above items are addressed.
The house is exactly as advertised and shown in the photos. The three bedrooms are each spacious and the open floor plan is excellent for families. We really enjoyed the pool and the quiet neighborhood which was only steps from the beach access and a couple minute walk to the Salty Dog. We really loved our 2 week stay and look forward to returning.
