Condo was at a great location to the pool and beach. It was really clean and very cute. We really enjoyed our 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!

Location to pool, hot tub, beach and parking were absolutely perfect!

We really enjoyed our stay here. This condo is the front corner unit that faces the beach. There is a board walk to the beach and several clean refreshing pools just steps away. Things we liked: proximity to beach and pools. The kitchen had lots of pots and pans and utensils and plenty of spices (though the pepper was empty). we felt like we could spread out here and not be on top of each other. The showers worked great with ample hot water. The place was very clean upon entering (with the exception of some grapes my toddler found under the couch, and some bedding that smelled a little musty). Things that could be improved: the king bed was overly firm, the tv in the living room is "smart" but terribly slow, we were only given enough dish washer soap for 2 loads and they would not give us more. Overall, my complaints are minor and I would for sure stay here again. There was also coin laundry and a delicious but pricey restaurant nearby.
