Everyone enjoyed themselves and had a really good time.

Everyone enjoyed the Mermaids Hideaway the pool and the beach. Really enjoyed the home and the area. We saw an awesome sunset on our last night in Anna Maria. Vacation went way too fast and we would love to come back again if possible.

Perfect family rental, just steps from the beach

This property was honestly amazing. We have two small children, and proximity to the beach is huge for us because we want flexibility/ease of going back and forth from the beach, as well as the option to hang around a pool. The house had everything you’d need for the beach/pool like beach chairs, wagon, shovels, boogie board, and pool floaties. The only thing that wasn’t there was a beach umbrella, but that didn’t bother us. The house was very clean, with the exception of the shower curtains (extremely molded, luckily my kids use a bathtub so we pushed their shower curtain out of the way). And all the drains seemed a little clogged. The worst part about the house was the beds, the master bed was extremely uncomfortable (hard as a rock), and the others were only slightly better. Another note, because this property is run by a management company, they give you very little supplies (toilet paper, dish soap, etc.) for your stay.

Great place to stay for families

We love AMI. This house was an easy walk to the beach. Right across the street. It’s an easier walk than a house we stayed oceanfront at bean point. Get up, go to beach, then pool, and back to beach for sunset. Get some wagons. They help to carry little ones and beach gear. It’s close enough to the beach to walk back to house if needed. Nice to have private pool. Pool area had lots of shade. It got some direct sunlight around 2PM for a couple of hours. We rented two cribs and they fit fine in the two bedrooms. House is at a good location. Not too far from anything in car or golf cart. House is on a main street for the island but it’s not busy. Beach across the street didn’t get that crowed. Only complaint would be the master bed. It’s time for an upgrade. Not too comfortable and my wife felt like it was about to collapse if you moved. Also, you could hear the people talking sometimes on the other side of the duplex inside the house. Wasn’t a big deal. We would stay at this house again.

Great location—a very short walk to a beautiful beach! The house is very nice and the private pool is excellent.

Great location and privacy given that it was a duplex. It had everything we needed and pretty well organized. Always could have been less expensive but I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.

We had a great time at this rental. Pool, Beach and repeat. Walk to the beach was really easy. The beach was not crowded. We will consider this location again.

The shortest walk to the beach! We loved our stay at Mermaid Hideaway. The place was equipped with everything we needed.

Exceeded all expectations!

This property was beyond what we imagined. It is absolutely beautiful. I felt like I was in a home that HGTV had done. It is literally right across the street from the beach. The pool was wonderful! There is also an outside shower that is very convenient after a day at the beach. The water is absolutely gorgeous. I highly recommend this house. We will definitely come back to this property. The only complaint I have was the mattress needs an update; it was very lumpy and uncomfortable.

Wonderful week!

Our family of 5 (14 yo, 12 yo, and 9yo) had a great stay in this house. It was so close to the beach, we could easily walk back and forth if needed. The pool was also amazing and our kids enjoyed it! We would definitely stay here again and would absolutely recommend it to others. The 1 and only complaint would be that the mattress in the king bedroom was like sleeping on plywood. Our advice would be to pack a featherbed or something to cushion it if you want to get a full night of sleep!! We can’t wait to return to AMI/Holmes Beach.

Such a great little gem!

We could not have been happier! The location was so perfect!! Right in the middle between Holmes Beach and Anna Maria. Easy to bike or walk to each! The beach was literally right across the street about a half block walk, so we could make a drink and walk over for sunset every night! I loved that there were benches on the beach too! Although it is NOT a dog friendly beach there was plenty of dog parks and she could come watch sunset. The pool and landscaping were so nice in the back. Perfect for morning dips and coffee. And for dipping after the beach. The beach chairs were a little worn out and one broken and a better umbrella would be nice but we brought one. There was adequate cooking utensils and plenty of plates and cups. Loved the thermal cups. The only annoying thing was the pool alarm on the sliders and windows. I get it as I have grand babies. So we used side gate to access the pool most of the time. Would totally go back!!!

Cold water

Hot water heater was not functioning properly the first week and had to heat water on stove for the babies to take a warm bath. We reported it the first week, but took until the 2nd week to repair. They ended up replacing the tankless water heater. The heated pool was to cold to swim in, while everyone around us were using their pool. Maintenance finally regulated the water and we were able to use the pool the second week. I do expect a full security deposit and possibly some compensation for our troubles. Sincerely, Paula Reagan

Getaway for 2

The house was gorgeous! Love the pool, very private. Great location, not too busy but easy bike or drive to city pier. Easy, quick walk to the beach. Quick response from property managers when needed. Would definitely stay here again!

Very Close to Beach, plus Great Management!

We asked for a same day weekly rental and they were able to fit us in, along with an early check-in. The property was just as gorgeous as the photos. The barbecue was in pristine shape - we used it almost every day, and there's a great story about that. The first night, we found it was out of gas so we left a voicemail that night. The next morning, not only was there a new installed tank when we woke up, but they also replaced the wire brush with a new one. Talk about service! The pool was a great bonus, and we used that almost every day, also. The Gulf-side beach was less than a 4 minute walk away. The great property, great location, great amenities, and fantastic property management made for one of the best vacations we ever had. Thank you, Tea and Anna Maria Island Accommodations!

GREAT NEARBY BEACH AND PRIVATE POOL

Great stay at Mermaid's Hideaway. Only 1/2 block to beach and beautiful pool in private fenced backyard. House was clean, neat and very nice. Liked the big screen TV in living room and DVR feature. Plenty of towels provided for pool and daily use. Only complaint was turntable in kitchen microwave did not work, resulting in uneven heating. Would definitely recommend this house to others. Quick response from property manager when I called about need for pool to be cleaned.

Temporary Hideaway

My wife and I stayed here for 9 nights while waiting for our house to finish being built We loved this cottage. Quick walk to a beautiful beach

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about Mermaid Hideaway. One of this home’s best attributes is that it is extremely close to the beach, that and the fact that it is well equipped and has a great private pool! We thank you kindly.

LOCATION IS AMAZING!

This house is absolutely gorgeous and in the perfect location with a pool. You couldn't ask for anything more perfect then this place. The home provided dishes, silverware, linens, and beach towels. There was also beach equipment such as beach chairs, boogie boards, floaties and shovels to use at the beach. The beach is right across the road so it is about a 2 minute walk straight from the house. We love this property and will continue to rent it!

Loved it, wish we could have stayed longer

First night we stayed the smoke detector batteries went dead, we couldn't sleep. Had to listen to it beep till late morning the next day before it got fixed. Every thing else was excellent. Plenty towels and beach extras to take to beach. Including a wagon to carry it!!!
Anonymous - Posted: 8/18/2019

Thank you so much for your feedback. We do value guests safety but are so sorry that the batteries in the smoke detector decided to start chirping on your first night. We were happy to get our maintenance tech over the next morning to take care of that so you could sleep peacefully the remainder of your stay. We’re glad that you otherwise enjoyed Mermaid’s Hideaway and all the amenities if offers. We hope you visit Anna Maria Island again soon!

This was a great rental and had everything we needed! Nice cozy villa, beautiful pool & short walk to the beach. We were very surprised to find beach chairs, a wagon & toys included at Mermaid’s Hideaway.

Paradise Found!

We found the property very clean and well maintained. It had everything we needed from beach towels to beach chairs, pool toys, and equipment. The location cannot be beat, it is a less than 2 minute walk across Gulf drive to the white sand beneath your feet. The rental company was very accommodating with an early check-in and even refunded us for exchanging the grill propane tank. Come relax and enjoy Mermaid's Hideaway - we will definitely stay again next year!

Great property near beach

Great location to walk to the beach (<2mins). Awesome backyard oasis. Plenty of shade throughout the day. Perfect house for family with kids. FYI there is a large stash of beach gear there, so you can pack lighter than we did. Only a few minor complaints: couldn't get the ceiling fan in the living room to work, and the pool pump was VERY loud.

The perfect hideway.

The pool and location to the beach really makes this place. The house inside is all you need. It is comfortable and tastefully decorated.

Perfect getaway close to the beach

We had a great time at Mermaid’s Hideaway. The home had everything we needed even a wide selection of pool/beach toys. We loved how close the house was to the beach. Even though it wasn’t on tbe beach it was a much closer walk then previous beach houses we’ve rented. I grew up in SW Florida and had never been to Anna Maria island before. We will be back for sure. The check-in/out process was super easy, and the employees were super knowledgable and had great recommendations.
