Bill C.Best Beach House
Blue Mermaid was the perfect home for our family! Each family had their own floor. The house had everything included as advertised. The 6 person golf cart provided made trips to the beach easy! The kids ages 6-11 enjoyed pool time after a day at the beach! We were 6 adults and 5 kids. We would definitely rent this home again for our next beach trip!!

Sharon & L.What a great place to spend 2 months in Miramar Beach
The Blue Mermaid is close to the beach and to great shopping. This is the second year we have stayed here and plan to do so again next year. Beautiful home with all the amenities one needs to make our stay cosy. Also, Donna was very responsive to our requests.

Brenda B.80’s Ladies 60th Birthday Celebration
10 of us spent a week in the Blue Mermaid and had a wonderful time. The house was laid out perfectly for us and all bedrooms have king size beds- this was a HUGE plus for us. The open loving space was perfect for this group, the kitchen table seats 10! The walk to the beach was good exercise, some of the group took advantage of the 6 seater golf cart that we nicknamed Bumblebee. There were a couple of incidents but the owner responded quickly and took care of the minor issues and gave us all a “birthday present” for the inconvenience. If there are any negatives it is that we had to leave. Several are talking about returning and bringing their families. Donna is awesome to work with and truly cares about making sure the renters are happy throughout their stay. ️️️️️

Bonnie M.Wonderful
The Blue Mermaid is a lovely vacation rental! The pool and the golf cart were BIG pluses! Having two washers/dryers were also very convenient. The only thing I would add is to inquire about items that are stocked in the kitchen if you are planning any big meals. Beds were comfortable too.

Tawni Y.Blue mermaid
We had our family stay here during the month of July. It was a cute3 story Beachy themed house. We were in a little community of matching houses. Not the best view out our windows but I didn’t care knowing I already didn’t have a beach view, it’s not why I rented the house. Plenty of king size beds(4) and a double bunk beds in one of the downstairs rooms. Everyone had their own tv. Every bathroom had a shower. The only negative was the master bed was too soft and killed my husbands and my back but we had so much space we slept in other beds which were all comfortable. Loved the extra blankets to curl up with. We enjoyed all the cute decorated spacious rooms and had plenty of space for everyone to not feel crammed. I was concerned the plunge pool would be too small for my family but the kids enjoyed coming home from the beach and going straight to the pool to play around in. We cooked out and cooked meals plenty of morning and evenings since restaurants were over packed bc of peak season. The grill worked good and outdoor patio was nice to eat around. The golf cart was a perfect addition to stroll around or pack up for a beach day. There were tons of beach toys. A few working bikes of diff sizes, some need updated or new tires but we were able to inflate some tires so we could go on rides. A couple of ice chests, umbrellas, a few chairs. I would recommend starting guests out w left over dish soap would be a plus or at least to get started with and if guests could leave seasoning or spices like salt& pepper. It was very quiet at night. And plenty of restaurants to drive to by golf cart. I would recommend to a big family or multiple families.

Sharon H.Great place to stay!
We stayed for two months and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The location is ideal — close to the beach, close to the outlet mall and Destin Commons plus many fabulous restaurants. Although we didn’t use them, the house is well equipped with beach chairs, bicycles and a golf cart. I really liked the fact that the Blue Mermaid has 2 master suites so that my friend and I could have our own space, but could connect in the large open kitchen/living room.The beds were very comfortable and all the bedrooms were equipped with smart TV’s. I would definitely stay here again.

Kim W.Wonderful home close to everything
We had a great time at Donna’s home. The house has lots of room for everyone. Beds are very comfortable, everyone had their own bath and they were well stocked. We had the pool heated and the kids loved it. We didn’t have great weather but the house worked well for games movies and cooking. Lots of restaurants and shopping very close to the house. Took the golf cart over to the beach the couple days we had nice weather. Thank you for everything!

Laura A.Amazing home!
House was amazing. Very clean! The owner, Donna was very nice and responsive with all of our questions. Due to COVID we Stayed most of the time in the house and we enjoyed the inside and outside. The backyard is beautiful and spacious. The kids and adults got to enjoy the heated pool. A very short walk to the beach. Location is great. A big plus was how clean the house was!

DIANNE P.FABULOUS
The Blue Mermaid was amazing!!! The décor was perfect in every room, with all the accommodations to meet all of our needs. We especially loved having the golf cart available to load up and go to the beach, riding my grandkids around, and even using as transportation to dinner. We loved being centrally located within walking distance to the beach, shops and much more. There just wasn't enough time to enjoy all the beauty the area had to offer. Oh my gosh the bike riding!!!! I was surprised you provided everything my family needed. I'm so grateful for you thinking of everything ! I will definitely come again to stay at THE BLUE MERMAID.... Thanks again Donna.... Dianne
