2Br2Ba w/Loft beachfront Coquina Beach 1G. Gulf view from all windows. Sleeps 5

The Mermaid House was absolutely beautiful! Beautiful views. Right on the beach. Clean. The house had everything we could have possibly needed. Good location. The only complaint I have is that we did text the property owner at the number he provided, and he never did get back with us. On the description of this condo, it said parties and events welcome. However, you only get 1 parking space. I do wish he had responded, but I'm not going to lower the overall rating for that because everything else was better than we could have imagined. We had a great time at the Mermaid House and will absolutely return in the future!

My family has gone to Sanibel for over 40 years. After Ian, we've had to try different condos to stay at. This is just about the nicest one I've rented at the price point.Ed is very communicative and clearly has a lot of love and pride for his place. The beach view/access is immaculate, and the central location is ideal for reaching the various places on the island you'd want to visit (you can bike to Jerry's supermarket in about 10 minutes).The layout is great with the bedrooms on the main floor. The second floor loft with the twin bed is really unique and special, if you have an older kid they'll love making it their space. (Kids closer in age might fight over it.) The loft also has an office space with a spectacular view.Some minor things to be aware of:* The bathrooms are lovely but only have showers, no tubs.* The dishwasher is finicky to close. Ed explains it in his message, but it's tricky the first time. You really need to slam it shut. If you start it and see a 3, 2, 1 countdown then it's not closed properly.* The pool is very nice while a bit small; no hot tub/spa.* The internet is kind of spotty, which is typical for the island; good enough for streaming apps though. The TVs are nice and modern with all the apps.* There's no dresser/closet in the loft, just a small end table drawer.* Parking is a bit tight, and there aren't many guest spots (Ed will horsetrade with other owners if he can).Overall we were extremely pleased with our stay!

We were more than pleased with our stay! The ocean views were stunning. The fully stocked kitchen, washer and dryer, and all the amenities were all so helpful and convenient. We’ll definitely stay again!

It had a wonderful beach view and easy access.

We come every year and it is wonderful

We were very pleased with our stay! My family had a condo on the island but it was sold so we had to rent a condo for this year's visit. The condo was very clean (even the couch had been vacuumed very well). There were beach chairs, beach towels, an umbrella, and some shelling tools all available for use which was wonderful. The view is spectacular!! We were very pleased and would definitely stay at this property again.

The Mermaid house was beautiful!! The View was amazing! The kids loved loft and finding shells every day. The host Ed, was great as well! Thank you for sharing the Mermaid house! Would definitely come back!

The condo was everything we hoped for. The beachfront views from the lanai were great. The unit was a very short walk to the beach. The unit had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

We had the best time during the week! Thank you foranswtin

The condo was as described. Very well stocked with towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, laundry detergent, etc. Great view from the screened in porch. I would stay here again. The owner was very easy to communicate with.

Everything was as good as it gets! The location was fantastic
