Marmalade Mermaid by Duncan Real Estate

Such a cute house! The colors, the charm, the proximity to the beach and the little details available for the guest made our stay so fantastic! There’s literally nothing missing. From kitchen utensils to towels and bed sheets. Everything you need they have. The backyard is super chill and relaxing. The porch swing was everyone’s favorite. Just amazing all the way around. I know where I’m staying next time in Anna Maria!

Awesome location and amazing property for our stay!

For the most part, the property was clean. We did find a dead cockroach in one of the bathrooms upon arrival. You may want to get a grease catch-can for the grill. I noticed there wasn't one and had to use a pickle jar with aluminum foil to prevent dripping all over the grill mat. Some of the beach chairs have mold on them from being stored wet. I rinsed them off as well as washed out the wagon and let them dry out before putting them away. Other than that we loved the house and the location.

Great location. Everything very clean.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The location is unbeatable—just a 30-second walk to the beach. The home carries a lot of history yet is very well maintained and spotlessly clean. Highly recommended—don’t miss out on this one!

It was nice and a great size for a group of 8 people. 3 Bedrooms, each with its bathroom, right across the street from the beach (great to go back for food or bathroom, or if you forgot something, you can go to the house real quick and be right back, no problem). Kitchen with everything you need, Keurig and regular coffee makers, nice patio with a grill if needed. At the main restaurant and shops area, parking is very limited, but it is so close that you can walk in a couple of minutes. Longboat key/Lido Key shops and restaurants are a very short drive away, and so is Ana Maria Island area...there is a hidden gem of a restaurant called Pane e Amore Italian cafe where the main shops are with the most amazing food and service...This house is at the center of many beautiful places, lots to do, and great food.

We chose this property for the beach house vibe. We were not disappointed. There’s a big wrap around porch. Big living room for family game nights. It’s about a 2 min walk to the beach (if you walk slow). You can walk less than 1/2 mile to amazing restaurants and shopping. It’s not overly crowded where this house is, so the beach isn’t crowded either. And the property managers were excellent communicators and promptly answered any questions we had. And ahhh, those sunsets over the Gulf of America are stunning.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Marmalade Mermaid! We had a group of 8 and there was plenty of room for all of us to spread out. The decor was beautiful and everything was very clean upon check in. The house had everything we needed and we were a short walk across the street from the beach. We loved the large porch, swim spa and all the beach equipment. We had a couple minor problems and they were addressed very quickly. Communication was excellent. Would definitely stay again!

Great location, close to beach and town. Backyard swim spa was a plus. Love the old Florida vibe.

Great location- close to beach and town. Lovely old Florida home. Pool was a plus for kids. Just love this area, will be back for sure!

very nice place to stay, very clean and close to beach

This is our second time going to the marmalade mermaid house and we were not disappointed! It is very spacious and clean. We can’t wait to go back next year! We love this place!

Wonderful long weekend celebrating my mom’s 75th!! Fun time with family! Great location and very cute spacious house!

We're not a sit at the beach family, but enjoy all the activities that surround it. So this location was perfect...a few minutes we were at the beach (lots of chairs from the house to use) and then within a short drive to LB, had free pickleball and a canoe/paddleboard launch to enjoy the calm intercoastal water! The House layout was perfect - one big open room and comfortable BRs. The outside hammock was amazing! Liked not sharing the grounds w/ another family. Manager was very responsive to a few small requests. Overall wonderful stay!

Our family (7 adults) recently stayed at Marmalade Mermaid and loved it! Walking distance to our favorite beach as well as our favorite shopping, dining, nigh life locations. House had plenty of room and we loved having 3 full baths as well as an outdoor shower and hot tub. All that and being right across the street from the beach made it the prefect place for our family vacation. We will be back! Dave M
