Mermaid Lair favorite home in Indian Rocks
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: We have stayed in the Mermaid Lair before and the beauty of the home beach and pool keeps drawing us back. Right on the beach. Pool outside the door. We have 6 adults (3 couples) and 4 children under 6. There’s plenty of room for all of us to have our own space. Plenty of space to cook in or out. Fully stocked home

Third Stay!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love Mermaid's Lair which is perfect for a multi-generational family trip. It is a bonus to have beach chairs and toys provided with the house. The kitchen is well stocked and we ate in every night, enjoying the amazing sunsets and views from the house. Being July, it was very hot so the pool was very welcome and being right on the beach meant we could set up on the beach early in the morning and go back to the house for the air conditioning later in the day, before returning to the beach mid afternoon. Our only suggestion is to close up the fabric concertina door between the king room and the bunkroom for more privacy.Seaside Property Shoppe were quick to address one or two issues that came up during our stay. We have reserved our week for 2025 already! This house will not disappoint!

Family April 24' Vacation
Had a great time together and especially enjoyed the location of the rental home in proximity to the beach and the gorgeous sunsets each evening. Kids had fun on the beach as well as in the pool. Finding a restaurant that wasn't mobbed was a little problem for a party of 9 but the house definitely had a great kitchen with everything available to prepare meals and barbeque. You could literally enjoy the Mermaid's Lair's amenities, the beach, the scenery and the pool without going anywhere for days on end!

Excellent House, Excellent Setting
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: The house was absolutely perfect for our group of 9, ranging in age from 11 months to 65. The house did not lack in anyway. We would rent it again in a heartbeat. There's 2 washer and dryers for beach towels (included) and regular clothes/towels, 2 dishwashers, the beach is your backyard, and the hot tub got plenty warm. There were more then enough pool/beach toys, umbrellas and beach chairs. Although a high chair and pack n play are included, we did rent 2 cribs, an additional high chair and some beach wagons from BabyQuip (Karin Villa) right nearby

A dream of Florida - without lacking anything
The house is fantastic. We enjoyed the location with its view, beach, pool and neighborhood very much. The building was clean, the kitchen very well equipped and the view at sunset spectacular (on any floor and balcony). The rooms are nice and you can host easily 10 people. The only "downside" was that none of the tables (inside / outside) has more than 6 chairs; if you improvise you can sit with a party of 9 outside on the deck. There are lots of beach toys for the kids, chairs for the beach, umbrellas. We lacked nothing - a true 5-star feedback.

A Little Piece of Paradise!
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: This was the perfect vacation home for our family! The layout, the views, the kitchen and the outside spaces were all so well thought out. If we were to design our own vacation home, we would model it off of this. The home was very clean, had everything we needed in terms of appliances and necessities, and the sports equipment available to us was an added bonus! The management company was quick to respond to the one problem they were aware of when we checked in. Having the beach just steps out the back door was a huge plus. The only negative we experienced was the spotty wifi and cell service on the property. However, this will not deter us from renting here again. We hope to be back again soon!

Wonderfully Beachfront Vacation
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: This is an amazing house with views, a spacious pool and room to spread out for our family of 12. The kitchen was great for cooking and 2 dishwashers was convenient. The small office was a surprise and nice to have. Had some difficulty operating the electric blinds but they are nice to have especially when the sun is at a certain angle. Beds in the bunk room made a squeaky noise because of the mattress covers. And did not realize there is not a full wall between the bunk room and connecting king bedroom. Adding the extra wall instead of an accordion divider would make the space perfect for a family to have more privacy. 2 washers and dryers was nice to wash beach towels in the garage and other clothes upstairs. Wish the master bathroom had more division with a powder room but guess it’s the open modern style. It is a beautiful home on a quiet street and we hope to visit again!

Best property I’ve stayed in that area
This house is beautifully decorated and short walk to beach. With 4 kids under age of 5 that was important to us. There were new bath towels and new kitchen towels. The beach towels were very nice. Loved having a door alarm to the pool. Plenty of room in large fridge and pantry. Loved being able to text the mgmt group if needed

I grew up in Tampa and we rented every summer on this beach. I was thrilled to show my husband and friends our beautiful beaches. I’m an avid cook and chose the house for the kitchen. Everything was lovely, comfortable, well equipped. There’s room for everyone and toys for the kids. We had an excellent stay. Thankyou
