About this property

Mermaid Cottage: Themed house! 5 mi. from pier, 3br, grill, deck, bunk bed

Hidden in plain sight with a purple door, this Fort Walton Beach coastal farmhouse humbly offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. 4 parking spaces, a front and backyard patio and 10 minutes from free beaches!

The open floor plan invites friends and families to gather around the living/dining area with a pull out sofa, barstools, and a chair woven from banana leaves. There is a mounted smart TV (Shell-a-vision) with several music and entertainment apps to choose from.

Both bathrooms are equipped with hair dryers, shampoo, conditioner and body wash, makeup removing towels, fresh eucalyptus shower bundles, diatomaceous earth antimicrobial bath stone mats, and a bidet in the master.

Bedroom 1: Bucaneer Bunk serves a pirate themed curation of local or custom theme artifacts to highlight real local pirate history, as well as a mounted Roku TV with an Xbox you may use with your own login!
It also contains an array of books in a barrel shaped shelf arranged Montessori style. Adult interests on top, child friendly material at the bottom, and even some dress up items like mermaid tails and pirate hats.

BR2: Siren Sanctuary is ideal for the WFH person in the group. A desk with a monitor, a few drawers, lamp and dreamy decor tucked at the back of the house makes for a distraction free environment for any professional/introvert.

BR3: Beige Bungalow is last but not least a luxurious, neutral master with hotel standard decor and linens. Private bathroom with a charming farmhouse sliding door.

Garage: "Treasure island" is a selfie station curation. Washer/dryer, backyard entrance for dogs, everything you could think of for the beach from towels to toys set up in vintage luggage trunks.

Backyard: "Mermaid Haven" features a custom built deck with string lights next to a quaint fountain, and newly installed paving stone sitting area with propane grill. (cushions stored in garage)
Turtle stepping stones lead you to the deck with a portable firepit where everyone can roast marshmallows.

Hey, there! I'm Breanna.
The Mermaid Cottage is a runaway passion project. I purchased this as my first and only home in 2022 when I moved to the Emerald Coast, never intending for it to be a vacation rental.
When life took a turn, I created this space to share with you all in order to keep my precious first home. I've always had a calling for entertaining others, and what you get when you choose the Mermaid Cottage is fine-tuned details in every nook and cranny that have been hand-selected by myself and Hailey.
We take immense pride in repurposing when appropriate, and several pieces in the home are locally curated. There are also intentionally placed items that encourage sustainable habits to ensure our Emerald Coast remains beautiful, and it only makes sense to live like a local.
There are always enchanting enhancements being made to the space and I am truly thrilled to share it with you!

While serving 13 years in the US Army has held it's moments of pride, I can honestly say designing this experience has been my proudest accomplishment.

Why they chose this property

It’s peaceful and cozy! In a great location

What makes this property unique

We have eco friendly / non toxic items throughout the house, including fresh plants for oxygen, fresh eucalyptus in the showers, and more!!
