Mermaid Cottage is a cute and well located vacation house. It was spotless clean, no dog odors despite the pets allowed policy. The gardens are very nice with tropical flora, even orchids. BBQ is quite far from the entrance and does have a motion sensor flood light to provide light whike grilling but then it is fery dark to get back to tge door. Tip is to open the shed door and turn on the light and leave tge door open so you dont trip going back. Cheryl is an attentive host and truly wants your stay to comfortable. The dishwasher was broken the whole time we were there and she was upset that it coukd not get parts to fix it. She ordred a new one but it would not be delivered in time beforecwe left. Cheryl gave us $100 cash to spend on dinner out for our last night. That was nice of her. Also she values your privacy. She would only come 8n when we were there to get serial number and other info ref the dishwasher. Drawback is the porch is not screened in and mosquitos and no-see-ems were viscious. The fans help keep them away to a degree but are noisy which in such a peaceful place is a detraction. There are citronella candles but after awhile the smell gets to you. Screening in the patio would eliminate that all so that northerners can enjoy their time outside in the evening and eat out also.

The property was very pleasant. Nothing fancy, but it met our needs. We usually do a lot of cooking when we stay at a VRBO, but not this time. But if we had wanted to, the kitchen was amply stocked with whatever items you might need. Nice items. Some places we stay the kitchens seem to be stocked with things that the thrift store threw away. Not the case here. The yard was filled with various trees and plants that were that made it feel park like. Our dogs loved playing ring around the obstacles with the lizards, and were downright obsessed with the little marsh rabbits that inhabited the area. Fortunately the yard was fenced so we could let the girls frolic without fear of them wandering off. The neighborhood was very quiet, no loud parties or roaring cars. The best part of the property was the bed. Exquisitely comfortable! Finally, Cheryl was very responsive to our needs and pleasant to talk to. Verdict: We highly recommend it and will stay there again the next time we visit.

Typical river stay. Place was very clean and had everything you needed for a nice stay. Very hot in Florida (hotter than usual 😂), difficult for the AC to keep up, first day it’s was 84 inside the home, took 8-10 hours to get the temperature to 74 (lowest it got). Wife has asthma but we made it through. Very good communication with property owner, lives down the private road on the River front. Very noisy in the AM as the landscape folks were working every day of our stay. Sebastian was fantastic, nice places to eat, near the causeway over to the ocean and to Vero beach. Overall satisfied, but a little rustic for us.

The property this rental sits on is absolutely gorgeous. There are lots of palm trees along with tropical plants of various types. The yard is completely fenced in so you can safely leave your pet to roam outside if you choose. While there, we walked to the dock to watch the sunrise over the water (it's breathtaking I highly recommend it). The beaches are beautiful and the local restaurants are amazing. Cheryl is a wonderful hostess and treats you like family. Everything you need to enjoy your stay is inside the rental. It's really cute and very clean!

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful month at Mermaid Cottage! Cheryl is such a generous hostess and welcomed us like family. She genuinely wants her guests to have everything they need to enjoy their stay, and we did. We feel so fortunate to have found this special vacation home! The cottage is close to beaches, restaurants, and shopping, but is located in a secluded, quiet setting and offers many ways to relax. We were able to prepare meals in the kitchen and on the gas grill with the cookware and utensils provided. The patio garden is a lovely peaceful place to relax and the Indian River Lagoon is within walking distance. We especially enjoyed our time at the pier fishing, watching sky divers, wildlife activity and beautiful sunrises, and being cheerfully greeted by Cheryl's friendly dogs. From the pier we were also able to see a couple of satellite launches from Cape Canaveral. Two of our sons and their families visited on separate occasions and the cottage accommodated them nicely as well. The beds are quite comfortable and everyone appreciated having two full baths. Sincere thanks to Cheryl for her kind hospitality and for making our stay so memorable! We can’t wait to return next year!

We're a retired couple with two shih tzus, Bo & Bella, and we wanted a place where our fur babies would be comfortable while we were at the beach. This place was perfect! The location was a short drive to the beach, restaurants & shopping and the Indian River was at the end of our street. The home was well equipped, comfortable king size bed, internet and cable worked great, and the beautiful yard was fenced in and shaded. Cheryl was very helpful and accommodating - we're hoping to rent this place again next year. We highly recommend "The Mermaid".
