Easy check in. Good communication, also allowed for a little early of a check-in. Cottage was cute and clean. Loved all the little extra touches including snacks for us and treats for the dogs. If you forgot to bring something, chances are it was there. Laundry on site. Close enough to town to walk. The only possible downside is we have a 3/4 ton diesel truck and the parking spot for us would have been really tight if there had been other people staying at the adjoining properties. There was not anyone else staying so it was not an issue. We would 10/10 stay at mermaid manor again!

My girlfriend and I stayed 2 nights a the Mermaid. It was very spacious, quiet, and nicely appointed. Everything was there that we needed to make our stay very enjoyable. It is close enough to walk down to the bay where we took in the sunset. The owner was very friendly and checked on us making sure everything was fine. This is a nice place to stay if you are visiting Port St Joe.

I really enjoyed the Mermaid Manor location. It was exactly as described, warm and cozy. I liked having the Kuerig and small kitchen. One thing I was disappointed about, though, is that the yard was not fenced all the way around, so I wasn't able to let my dog out without watching him. Otherwise, it was great!
