Location was absolutely perfect! Steps away to the beach. The top deck was a big hit with the family especially watching the sunset and plenty of room throughout the house. Had a great time and the host were.very accommodating! Thank you!

We loved our stay! The location was perfect. We loved being able to come and go from the beach easily. The pool was refreshing and a great alternative when the kids needed a break from the beach. The house had everything we needed plus extras. Not all rental homes are that well stocked which made the stay stress free. We cannot wait to go back!

House was great for our stay (walkable to downtown restaurants and bars, next to the beach). Ashely was super responsive and accommodated an early check in last minute for one person in our group. We do an annual spring training baseball trip and we will definitely stay here again next time we hit ballparks in Bradenton/Sarasota. Thank you

We stayed in the Merry Mermaid Treehouse last week for a family vacation, and it could not have been more perfect! The communication with Ashley and Matt was outstanding, from the booking process, welcoming us prior to our stay with information on preferred restaurants and attractions, and detailed instructions for arrival and checkout. There was a thoughtful welcome basket, and every detail in the home is meticulously thought out. The location couldn't have been better, it is a very short walk across the street to the beach and it's close to many restaurants and bars.

So many amazing attractions are an incredibly close walk from our home. There are 4 parking spots at our home itself. There is a public trolley which supplies the entire island and has a stop at our street. In addition "The Monkey Bus" is a transportation service that will take you anywhere on island and picks you up at the house. They work based on tips. Finally with have a 6 person electric golf cart exclusive to our property that is always there and available for rent through a local rental company. The cart is street legal and you can access anywhere on the island with it.
