We loved our stay at the Mermaid Life. For an older home it was kept up very nicely. Everything looked just like the photos and the decor was very cute and homey. The Pac-Man game was a fun touch! The bedrooms were spacious with some of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever experienced at an Airbnb. The bathroom was spotless with a very nice shower. Having good quality shampoo, conditioner, and body wash supplied was a really nice bonus. The backyard is shared with two other units, and we were a little confused on how to get out there, but we figured it out. Randy was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions. We would definitely stay there again if we were in the area.

House is well equipped and has what is needed for an extended stay. We had some issues with heat (pretty chilly in Florida during our stay), but our host was responsive to our issues when we contacted him. The house is bright and roomy.

We had a wonderful time at The Mermaid space. We were there for an event about 30-minutes way so mainly used it as a home based for breakfast and sleeping. It's very close to the historic downtown area. We did get to visit on our first day but didn't have much time for site seeing. We were able to hit one of the many grocery stores in the area to stock up on necessities including extra coffee for the coffee makers. They did provide a starter and some pods, but we really love our morning coffee. Overall, great area that is very close to everything you need and the place worked well for cooking and eating breakfasts and sleeping.
