The proximity to the beach could not be better! The place was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. Our kids (7 & 9) loved playing mini golf in the back yard. Indian Rocks Beach has so much to offer within walking distance and this place provided the perfect home base for everything!

It was so convenient to have laundry facilities in site and the beach supplies were excellent. The location is wonderful - just steps from the beach and convenient to anything you may need during your stay.

Amazing family spring break trip

Mermaids Cove was perfect for our family of three. The property was as-advertised and was beautifully decorated and cozy. Sabrina sent us all the information we needed to access the property, and she even checked in during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. Our son loved all the beach toys provided in the shed, and the beach was only a block or two away from the property. This was a much-needed relaxing week for us, and we would definitely recommend Mermaids Cove.

Everything you need is here

Great location - 1.5 blocks to 15th St beach access. Many restaurants within walking/biking distance. The unit is nicely decorated and has everything you need - even had Glad Wrap in the kitchen drawer and sunscreen in the linen closet! The courtyard was perfect for morning breakfasts and the front bench offers a nice breezy place to read in the shade. The shed holds everything you need - 4 bikes, several wagons, and plenty of beach chairs. Laundry was very convenient as well. I highly recommend this place and plan to return again.

This property was a gem ! Everything was perfect ! 1 block from the beach, excellent restaurants close by within walking distance. We parked our car upon arrival and didn’t have to use it at all. There is bikes, beach toys, chairs and coolers to use. The kitchen had everything we needed. Beach towels supplied as well. We had planned to go to Clearwater for supper one night but never felt the need to leave Indian Rock Beach. We hope to come back some day !! Thank you to our amazing hosts !!!!!

The property is as described and exactly what you see in the pictures. Host provided everything you need for the beach. My only concern was host asked us to do whites upon departing but did not want us to take off white sheets. Seemed a little odd, as if the same sheets would be used again for the next guest. Other than that this is a great spot in a great location.

Several delicious restaurants and the public beach are within walking distance. I like that the property supplied some toiletries (hand soap, paper towel, etc) so we didn't have to rush right away to buy toilet paper! The washer and dryer came in very handy. Responsive property manager. It is a duplex so you might/will see your neighbors as you share the yard. All in all, an excellent property!

Impressed

We rented both units A & B - 2 adults and 2 kids in each. Nice to each have a private place and a joint outside area. The location is great, especially for families. Quiet, nice & safe neighborhood. It was a block away from a park with playground, tennis, pickleball and basketball. The beach is a short walk (1 block & 1/2). Close to restaurants and shopping. The home was lovely & clean. Tastefully decorated with beach theme. 2 Bedroom, bath, living room, kitchen and eat in dinning. Plenty of space for our family even on the rainy day. The yard was nice to have to get together as a family and still respect social distancing recommendations. The kids enjoyed catching lizards in the yard. This yard is shared with Unit A & B. However, Unit B had an additional small yard area / deck off one of the bedrooms that was private. There were beach chairs and some toys for our use and even a wagon to pile beach items in and take to the beach :) We would recommend Mermaid Cove and would rent the units again on our next stay in Indian Rocks Beach.

This property was great! Just what we needed. Nice neighborhood, really cute place, the beds are comfortable. Plenty of room for the 4 of us. 2 Adults 2 Kids. Yummy restaurants within walking distance. Short walk to the beach. The only thing to note, is there is no crosswalk on the main road to get to the beach, and that can be a little tricky at times trying to cross with kids. The beach was beautiful, and not very crowded. We would stay here again.
