Mermaid Inn

The condo is impressive! Its proximity to the beach and pools makes is why we selected Mermaid Inn! The screened in porch was nice for the grandparents. There is little noise absorption, so the place becomes noisy very quickly. Will book Mermaid Inn for 2025!

Mermaid Cove Rocks!

Mermaid Cove didn’t disappoint! The beautiful colors and mermaid theme gives nothing more than beach vibes. The location is walking distance from the beach, and many other attractions. The unit was well stocked with household items and clean upon arrival with all working amenities. The outside screen patio was my favorite place to sit at night with the pretty lighting and patio furniture. Ms Teresa responds quickly with booking details, arrangements or any concerns. My family and I will love to visit Mermaid Cove on our next visit to Panama City, beach! Book this Unit… you want regret it.
