1000/10. The condo was off the beach as it looked in photos and it came with an umbrella rental. It was like you had your own private area. Loved it!!! It’s exactly like the pictures and even had things for my children to do. The pool was super close and easily accessible. The host was extremely hospitable and very responsive. I would book it one million times over! We had a grand stay.

Enjoyed the first floor and view. General resort property needs lots of work, hot tubs, boardwalk, indoor pool. These were unsatisfactory.

This was our second stay at the Mermaid Pad, and it didn't disappoint. The unit is lovely -- very clean, and comfortable. The location is outstanding! With the pool right outside and the beach practically in the back yard. This is our favorite beach vacation. Already booked for next year!
