Marmalade Mermaid by Duncan Real Estate

50% Road Construction Discount through End of September 2023! 11th St S in Bradenton Beach is undergoing a sewer project which does not allow any parking at this property. There is a designated parking area close by along Gulf Drive S! Please inquire for more information!

For true Southern Living and if only the best will do, this beautiful Island vacation home is for you! Being only one house from the lovely beaches of Anna Maria Island and three houses to Tampa Bay you can enjoy all the ...waterways the Island has to offer! This is a historical cottage that has been totally remodeled for your enjoyment.

Sink into the beautiful sofa, have a superb night's rest in comfortable beds and choose just to laze or sip a cocktail on either the backyard hammock or the wrap around front porch. It has a master bedroom and two well-appointed guest bedrooms.

The master bedroom has a King size bed and two Twin beds with a door to access the back yard.

There is also an ensuite bath with shower only and stackable washer/dryer. The second guest room has a King size bed and ensuite bathroom. The third guest room has a Full-size bed.

The decor is light, beachy, bright and airy, with an open plan living area, gleaming aqua cabinetry and granite counter tops and the quality of the furnishings is evident as soon as you enter through the front door. The house is equipped with all the latest technology including wireless internet access, cable TV, Roku and flat screen TVs in every room. Attention to detail means that every aspect of the house has been carefully considered when it comes to both design, furnishings and fabrics.

Marmalade Mermaid is not even 100 steps to the beach access and the crystal blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico, fringed with seven miles of white sand beach which stretches out in a gentle curve in both directions. Marmalade Mermaid is only three houses from Tampa Bay where you can put in your paddleboards or kayaks easily. This home is near Leffis Key so you can paddle many mangrove lines and see loads of wildlife.

Since this home is a historical cottage, the windows do not open throughout the home.

BED & BATH DETAILS:

King size bed, two Twins in the master bedroom, with flat screen TV, ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower and stackable washer and dryer. Guest bedroom with King size bed, flat screen TV and ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower. The third bedroom as a Queen/Full bed with flat screen TV. The guest bathroom has a shower/tub combo.

We had a phenomenal stay at this Vrbo for our family of 8! The home was incredibly spacious, giving everyone plenty of room to relax and enjoy our time together. Everything was exactly as described in the listing, which made planning our trip so easy and stress-free.The location truly could not have been better — right across from the beach and close to everything we needed. The warm pool was a huge bonus and perfect for unwinding after a day in the sun. We also really appreciated the thoughtful amenities. There were plenty of towels for each guest, and having beach chairs, an umbrella, wagon, and toys provided made our beach days effortless and fun.The office was extremely responsive and helpful whenever we had a question, which added to the overall positive experience. While the home is a little dated, we actually found it to be perfect for us. The décor was top-tier, very beachy, and created such a relaxing vacation vibe.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property to other families looking for a comfortable, convenient, and enjoyable beach getaway!

Such a cute house! The colors, the charm, the proximity to the beach and the little details available for the guest made our stay so fantastic! There’s literally nothing missing. From kitchen utensils to towels and bed sheets. Everything you need they have. The backyard is super chill and relaxing. The porch swing was everyone’s favorite. Just amazing all the way around. I know where I’m staying next time in Anna Maria!

Beautiful cottage, steps from the beach

We absolutely loved our stay at the Marmalade Mermaid! We had a group of 8 and there was plenty of room for all of us to spread out. The decor was beautiful and everything was very clean upon check in. The house had everything we needed and we were a short walk across the street from the beach. We loved the large porch, swim spa and all the beach equipment. We had a couple minor problems and they were addressed very quickly. Communication was excellent. Would definitely stay again!

Awesome beach cottage.

Great week at the beach. We loved the cottage - only complaint would be that the A/C in the main part never cooled the bedrooms. The 3rd bedroom had a separate system and was a great temperature. Would definitely rent again !

Nice family getaway

We chose this property for the beach house vibe. We were not disappointed. There’s a big wrap around porch. Big living room for family game nights. It’s about a 2 min walk to the beach (if you walk slow). You can walk less than 1/2 mile to amazing restaurants and shopping. It’s not overly crowded where this house is, so the beach isn’t crowded either. And the property managers were excellent communicators and promptly answered any questions we had. And ahhh, those sunsets over the Gulf of America are stunning.

Great Place

We stayed in this house with another family and we all loved the house. It is an older house that is updated and has a great floor plan. The large living room, dining area, and kitchen flows together well. Drinking coffee on the wrap around porch was enjoyable. The beach is just a short walk away. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance as well. We have gone south for many spring breaks in the past and this was one of our favorites.

Great Vacation!

Our family (7 adults) recently stayed at Marmalade Mermaid and loved it! Walking distance to our favorite beach as well as our favorite shopping, dining, nigh life locations. House had plenty of room and we loved having 3 full baths as well as an outdoor shower and hot tub. All that and being right across the street from the beach made it the prefect place for our family vacation. We will be back! Dave M

Great Beach Cottage

We enjoyed our stay at Marmalade Mermaid. It is a quaint beach cottage. It is bigger than it looks and the cottage is clean and well-furnished and decorated with a coastal theme. Plenty of room for our family of seven. We really enjoyed the wrap-around porch. It is a convenient location very close to the beach and a number of restaurants and shops - easy walking distance. The management company was helpful and responsive. We would stay at the cottage again.

It was nice and a great size for a group of 8 people. 3 Bedrooms, each with its bathroom, right across the street from the beach (great to go back for food or bathroom, or if you forgot something, you can go to the house real quick and be right back, no problem). Kitchen with everything you need, Keurig and regular coffee makers, nice patio with a grill if needed. At the main restaurant and shops area, parking is very limited, but it is so close that you can walk in a couple of minutes. Longboat key/Lido Key shops and restaurants are a very short drive away, and so is Ana Maria Island area...there is a hidden gem of a restaurant called "Pane e Amore Italian cafe" where the main shops are with the most amazing food and service...This house is at the center of many beautiful places, lots to do, and great food.

Great family vacation house!

This is a beautiful and comfortable home and we enjoyed our stay immensely! It was literally steps from the beach. The pool was a nice bonus. Between the AC and the fans in every room, the house stayed at a comfortable temperature, even at 90 degrees outside. The porch and the swimspa were great. We loved all the decor. Duncan Realty were great to deal with, from start to finish. Thank you!!
