I rented this house for my parents, my sister, and my brother and his two teens. I rented The Pearl next door for myself, my husband, my teens and their two friends. Everything was perfect! In fact, we never even needed to contact the owner for anything.
This house fit everyone comfortably, and is in the perfect location - a quiet neighborhood with easy, quick access to the beach. I love that it’s not right in the hustle and bustle off of A1A near the pier (we’ve stayed in that area before and found the beach too crowded). This neighborhood is near a quieter part of the beach, but close enough to the busy part to make it easy to drive over their for the farmer’s market, Beachcomber, etc.
The house itself is casual and comfortable. We spent a lot of time on the porch and looking at the plants in the gorgeous back yard. We appreciated the parking in the back and the front of the house. We kept the fence gate between the Mermaid and The Pearl open and just bopped back and forth between houses as necessary. If you have a bigger group, renting both houses was perfect- we could be together but also had our respective spaces if needed. All in all a fantastic vacation.
