Mermaid's Cottage

The proprietor communicated with us prior to our arrival and met us when we arrived to show us the property and give us the keys. She was very helpful and friendly and quick to respond to our only request during our stay. Her husband was also friendly and helpful. The property was clean, bright and stocked with items we would need to start our day. The cottage has a bedroom with a queen bed and a second bedroom with a twin bed and a blow up mattress was available for that smaller room. The queen bedroom also has seating that appeared to be a possible full size futon in it and the couch in the living room also looked like it could open into a full size bed. There are 1½ bathrooms. The decoration was simple and bright and we felt very comfortable in the space. To access the ground floor unit, there are three shallow steps up from the sidewalk and inside the apartment, there is one step down from the living/dining/kitchen area to the two bedrooms. There is an outside entertaining area and a separate, private patio off of the queen sized bedroom. Laundry facilities are also available outside of the cottage, which we didn't use because our stay was relatively short. I am very happy with the cottage and would gladly stay there again.

One discomfort was that I am 5'9" tall and the seating was very low, so it was a bit hard on my knees. I solved that problem by using the dining chairs for my seating, though.

The hosts have been very nice and welcoming. They gave some points what to do around town and how to get around. The property was spacious and had all amenities, including washer and dryer. The beds were comfortable, and the patio was very nice to chill out after a long day. The Florida weather of course, added to a great experience.

The "beach" nearby does not have water access, its more of a canal. The real beach with sand and sea access is in Palm Beach, and can be reached by a taxi within a few minutes or by bike or on foot. The aircon in one of the rooms can be a little loud for noise-sensitive sleepers.

Loved the garden sitting area. Kitchen

Furniture not comfortable, worn

The place had 2 separate bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It was VERY clean.

The was a step between 2 of the rooms which was a little dangerous. They should put a small ramp there.

water provided. Soap provide. Coffee provided. Nice towels.

it is in a very quiet neighborhood and centralized location.

all was good

It is convenient to the WPB convention center. It was very clean.

There are lots of cameras on the property for security, would not recommend walking the neighborhood. The listing was not clear about the bathrooms; there are 1.5 not 2 full bathrooms. You can hear the upstairs residents walking. The host tried to collect a $200 cash deposit from my colleague upon arrival. We did not pay it.

Guest house tucked away on the back of the property. Quiet and relaxing. Convenient washer and dryer location next to room.. The owner, Beatrice, was very nice and accommodating.

Neighborhood was fine for my group, but I wouldn't consider it family friendly as I wouldn't recommend kids walking the area. But it's a close drive to I-95 and close drive to the beach.
