Stayed Sep 16, 2023This was my mother’s fourth stay at The Happy Mermaid and I’m so glad we joined her this year! The cottage is clean, beautifully decorated and has everything we needed. I loved the location inside the gated community, super close to great restaurants, shopping and especially the beach. Will definitely be back soon!

Stayed Jul 1, 2023We had a wonderful second visit to Happy Mermaid, this time as a family of four! We loved the quiet of Old Florida Village and how close it is to the beach - even with a double stroller and beach cart it's an easy 10 minute walk over and so much quicker than trying to find parking. We spent lots of time at the pool and enjoying quiet mornings on the back porch looking over the beautiful pond and listening to the birds chirp. We were there over July 4th week and it was more crowded at the beaches then we've ever seen before, but thankfully Old Florida Village was still very quiet and peaceful. We love this beach escape and will be back!

Stayed Apr 5, 2023We would definitely return to this property. The owner is very easy to work with, the house is well cared for and clean, and this neighborhood is a hidden gem off 30A with easy access to Santa Rosa beach and restaurants.

Stayed Sep 24, 2022We have been staying at rentals in this neighborhood for 10+ years. The Little Mermaid is perfect for two couples or someone with kids. Location to the pool is a quick walk across the street. Walking or driving to the beach access is less than ten minutes. Conveniently located close to shopping, restaurants and grocery store. The cottage was very clean and well kept. Will definitely book the Little Mermaid again! 5 STARS

Stayed Sep 18, 2022The Happy Mermaid never disappoints! Our Mother/Daughter trip 2022 was fantastic. When we want to visit FL and bring our fur babies along this is the perfect spot. The house is so clean and kitchen has everything you need. It’s easy access to the beach, great restaurants and shopping. And right across the street from the pool. We rented a golf cart this time, which made it even easier to get around. We love Happy Mermaid and look forward to our next stay. ❤️❤️
