Crazy Mermaid - a SkyRun Anna Maria Property

When you arrive at the property you will notice ample parking for your whole party. When you enter the property, head up the stairs in the front of the home and enter your code. Once you enter you will see where the property gets its name, Crazy Mermaid! When you enter you will see off to the right, the dining room, but if you go straight behind the wall, you will see the family room with a fireplace, tv and plenty of seating for your whole family. You will also notice that this family room has a beautiful view of the water behind the home, which are canals that run throughout Anna Maria Island. You are welcome to exit the double doors to enjoy the screened in porch also overlooking the pool and canals. This is also a great spot to enjoy a morning coffee during the sunrise or at night (although the sun sets on the other side) you can see the beautiful colors of the sky as the sun sets. Heading back into the house, you will notice the kitchen on your left which will have all your necessities to make your family meals, as well as a breakfast bar, for some more casual dining. Attached to the kitchen is the laundry room and an additional pantry. On the other side of the family room you will also have guest bedrooms and a full bathroom. The first bedroom will have two beds, a queen and a twin. The other bedroom will have a king sized bed (made up of two twins). The guest bedroom with the king bed also has an entrance/exit to the back patio as well. Heading back out to the family room you will notice there are stairs near the front door. These stairs were handmade by the homeowners out of old library bookshelves. Once you get to the top of the handcrafted stairs, you will have another bedroom which will have a full bed. Next door to that, you will see the master suite. The master suite has an attached full bath with double vanities, a large walk in closet, as well as another gorgeous view of the canals behind the house. When you head back downstairs, through the family room to the relaxing screened in porch, you will be able to go down the back staircase leading to the back yard to put dinner on the grill provided. At the bottom of the stairs, you will be met by a pristine private pool which overlooks the canal and you will also see a private dock that leads to the waterway. If you want to pull up a chair and enjoy being out by the water, you can, or you can also throw a line in and catch some fish!

*Pool Heat is available upon request during September - April for $34 per day*

Great location!
The Crazy Mermaid has a fantastic North End AMI location. Everything was great, except the kitchen cookware, utensils and glassware are very used/beat up - definitely need to be replaced with fresh kitchenware.

Spacious house, good location
We stayed for 3 nights for a girls' weekend. The house is on the canal and walking distance to restaurants, shopping and a beautiful beach. 4 bedrooms and 2 baths were great for the 5 of us. There was good hang out space inside and out by the pool and in a screened in porch. Kitchen has everything if you want to cook and there's a grill. House is dated but clean and couches are new, as is the grill. Property manager was very proactive with communication. Great value

Family get together
Rented the Crazy Mermaid for a week in February. It was the perfect place for my three adult children and two of there spouses along with three granddaughters all under age 4. The pool was heated and enjoyed by the kids and the beach was readily accessible by walk or car. The back bay City Pier was just a short walk. Not the swankiest place I've stayed but perfect for a family with a good "lived in" feeling.

House was perfect for our needs. Large bedrooms, lots of room to spread out. Layout is perfect for 2 families with 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 downstairs. Great location and perfect water front access. Would definitely come back.

Family reunion at Crazy Mermaid on Anna Maria
We had family from Belgium, Denver, Texas, Minnesota and Florida. We rented two houses with ours being the Mermaid. We found the home clean and comfortable, close to Pine St and the City Pier. We had 7 adults in the home and all were comfortable. We would gladly stay there again. Great vacation spot!!

Just a fun gettaway
Had a great stay at the Mermaid house. The house was perfect for us and in a great area on a canal, kept the bay boat at the dock the whole time and the local boat ramp was close by. Will definitely stay again!
