We had a wonderful stay! Close proximity to the beach. Easy dinner across the street at Mango Marleyâs. Relaxing view from the balconyâs. Only complaint was the beds werenât super comfy but we always travel with extra bedding for this reason. Overall, we loved the stay and would love to come back!
Mermmaid Cove provides a unique location in Mexico Beach that provides a short walk to the gulf and a short drive to the public boat ramp. The canal doesn't provide dock access but the drive provided plenty of room to park the trailered boat. Amenities were pretty standard for a rental but TV in living room was smaller than average. Plenty of linens available and cookware. Fenced yard worked great for our pup who tends to be elusive.
Just what we needed with a little room for improvement
We usually pick our vacation spots based on how quiet the town is and how close to the beach it is. This place was great for that. We loved that it allowed our dog to stay with us instead of having to stay at our pet sitters house. We usually are gone all day when vacationing at the beach so just a place to cook and sleep is really all we need but on stormy days we do tend to stay inside. With that being said, not having a cable option and having to log in to all three tvs when wanting to watch tv is annoying. I wish there was a cable tv option. The shower head in the bathroom upstairs needs to be changed out. My kids hated that it sprayed in weird directions and not just right at your body (we even adjusted the spray). The master bedroom mattress is very firm so if thatâs your thing youâll love it. It was not our thing. We had one night of minor inconvenience when the AC went out and it was hot but the property manager offered to move us (didnât want to have to do that with kids) and it was fixed by the next day. They did tell us to open the windows but there wasnât any screens on any of the windows so didnât want to open them too high with us having kids. Again, just some minor fixes that could make this place a place we would want to stay at again.
