Beach themed house
property was beautifully decorated with light and airy colors and accents. House was upper floor only and stairs to all entrances. Bedrooms were nice and comfortable. We enjoyed cooking some meals in well equipped kitchen.front enclosed porch was very breezy and our dog enjoyed playing there. . We really enjoyed our stay.

Great Long Weekend
We really enjoyed our stay at Mermaid Shanty! We came down on a stormy day and asked about early check in. We were able to turn a miserable beach day into a relaxing afternoon on the comfortable screened in porch. We’ve been having trouble finding rentals we like, but we will be back to Mermaid Shanty!
