Another great stay in Orange Beach!

The extended family wanted a large, modern, convenient living space for this year's summer vacation. The Salty Mermaid was all of those things and more. The home was very clean and comfortable for our group of 7. The property management is excellent with lots of updates/reminders of check in/out procedures, tips, etc. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Orange Beach.

Family Fun

It was a wonderful family beach vacation. I am glad that I selected the Salty Mermaid property, as it was very spacious and clean…it felt like a home away from home. The neighborhood is beautiful and quaint and everyone was very friendly. If you are looking for somewhere to stay that is close enough to the beach and very private, this may be the property for you. The kids enjoyed swimming at the clubhouse and the pool is not very deep, so we were comfortable with my 3 year old nephew being in the pool.

Beautiful community and home

Such a beautiful home in a very cute beach community. There was my husband, myself and three college students. The home was very clean and spacious we all had our own room and bathroom. It’s a short walk to the beach which was clean. We also used the pool in the evenings which was very convenient. The property manager was easy to reach, checked on us and responded quickly when we had a question. The community was quiet and peaceful. We were very pleased.

Beautiful home

This gorgeous house near the beach was great for our group of 7-10 (depended on the night). The beds were comfortable which the young sailors recently out of boot camp we hosted greatly appreciated. Lots of dishes and cookware, towels and bedding. The only 2 negatives were dirty cooking utensils and oven mitts and the shower curtain in the front bath is too short and caused a mess on the floor. Besides that I highly recommend this rental.

Getting cousins together

We had families from Georgia and families from Texas wanting to get together. Orange Beach was a great compromise and it didn’t disappoint. The home is spacious and the kitchen equipped with everything you could ask for. The community pool and beach are both within walking distance. Our only concern was that the bed in the master bedroom downstairs is quite high making it a little difficult for seniors to manage. The barbecue pit and fire pit were put to good use. We will definitely choose the home again if /when in the area

Family Vacation

This was a great stay. The house was in great condition, practically new ! We rented With family and our dog. House did not have any pet odors but does have limited grass for them to go outside. Would definitely rent again. Also, we knew the house was not listed as being any kind of handicap accessible but our family member who could not walk stairs stood in the downstairs bedroom. Bedroom downstairs had a very high bed and was not easy to get in, just wanted others to be aware. This was a great stay over all , would recommend!!!!
