Marsh Harbour Mermaid

Mermaid Cottage is perfect! The location is very special and was perfect for boating to the other Cays. The cottage has everything you need during your stay and the owners are super prompt and helpful with any questions. We loved this spot and hope to return again to enjoy its' beauty! Thank you to the owners for sharing their piece of paradise with us!

Best Trip to the Abacos

Our trip to the Abacos was amazing. The Mermaid Cove was everything advertised and then some. Everything about the house was perfect. Very immaculate, it was as if we were the first people to ever stay in the house. Location was very secluded and quiet. Roland, the care-taker was always right near by if you ever needed assistance. We thoroughly enjoyed the property and house. My wife and I hope to be back soon with friends. Thanks to great host, Brandon and Lucy!! Todd and Betsy

Perfect in every way!

Perfect location, amenities and view! The owners thought about everything you may need on vacation and graciously provided it. We utilized all the water toys and searched for shells every evening directly in front of the home. The AC works great, but with the breeze you rarely need it. You will love waking up and watching the sunset from the VERY comfortable bed. We definitely did and can’t wait to go back!

Paradise in Marsh Harbour

We had a wonderful stay at the Mermaid for 5 days in July. This place is absolutely gorgeous with breathtaking ocean views. The unit is immaculate, comfortable and fully stocked with everything you could possibly need on vacation. The upstairs has a large deck with outdoor seating for meals. We took advantage and cooked our fresh catch every night and enjoyed the sunsets and our wine out on the deck. The ground level provided lounge chairs and ocean access to swim/snorkel as well as paddleboard-available for use. We came by boat and used the assigned large dock that easily accommodated our 42’ Yellowfin on the canal side of the property. The dock had water/power, a cleaning table and plenty of seating as well. The area is fully secure and we felt comfortable leaving all of our rods and equipment on the boat which was a great piece of mind for us. Everything about this place is top draw with all the bells and whistles. In addition to being a great place in a wonderful location, the owners are unbelievably helpful. We had a boat engine issue on arrival and the owner referred us to his mechanic that got us up and running in a day-no simple task-blown lower unit being changed out in the Bahamas in less than 24 hours? Miraculous! Their concierge Roland went above and beyond as well, helping us unload our way too many things and procuring ice for the boat every morning. We can’t thank them all enough for the great care they took of us while we stayed at the Mermaid.

Might be the best spot for a couple on the whole island !

The cottage was flawless, spotless and well maintained with a very enviable position literally your own private steps down to the Sea of Abaco. Dolphins in the morning if you are up early to enjoy coffee on the deck or the stairs to the water, cool off with a dip anytime you like, some beginner kayaking at your leisure, splashing fish at sunset, and views all day long. The hosts were in town and immediately responsive to a minor request for a small table, couldn't have been nicer! The ONLY reason the location isn't five stars is because you really need a car to get to restaurants, but in exchange for that you get more privacy at night, in a very safe gated neighborhood. One of the neighboring villas is quite close, but the mature landscaping helps with that, and we can't say more because it was unoccupied during our visit. Recommend a small car if you can get one as the streets and parking in general and at all the villas in the eastern shores is pretty tight. We had a great rental but it was full-size as we had some family to taxi around from the airport to treasure cay with luggage which made parking just a bit tighter still, but not a problem. The villa has a nicely appointed bathroom with both hand-held and mounted shower heads in the very large standup shower, and there were more towels (including beach towels) than you could use in 4 weeks, which was appreciated. And if you do somehow use them, there is a washer and dryer right in the unit with detergent etc ! Would recommend to any couple looking for a first experience in Marsh Harbour. A bit far from Treasure Cay for any events there, and not recommended to drive between the two at night, but if you can sacrifice a night in Marsh Harbour, it is great to return to Mermaid Cottage after a short visit to the northern part of the island. For Dining would recommend Da Blue Hole for nice dinner, and the bar upstairs for a drink, sunset, and lighter meal. Colors by the Sea is good for cold beer and local fish steamed in foil with plantains and goat peppers. Up in Treasure Cay on the advice of owners we had lunch at Treasure Sands Club, which was a cool outside club atmosphere with good food, if a bit pricey, but with better service than most too. Would return if in the area again.

Amazing hosts and wonderful snorkeling right outside the front door!

Hosts: Fantastic, have loads of information and easily reachable for any questions. House: Beautiful and completely renovated recently. Decor is fantastic. Fridge is only a counter high half fridge, so just FYI. Amenities were great. We had tons of fun snorkeling right off the front steps. Just wade into the water and have fun! Boat storage location was very close and easily accessible. Road to the house is unpaved, but not hard to drive on. Wifi and TV worked great. Overall we loved the house and if you are going to be in Marsh Harbour, I can't imagine a better place to stay. ______________________________________________________ Notes about the Area: Marsh Harbour is nice, but all the shops and restaurants had very random hours they would be closed, which was frustrating. We rented a boat, but it was much more difficult than we anticipated. Suggest you only rent a boat if you have a lot of experience with one. The town seems to be very quiet at night. Everything is very expensive in the Bahamas, and be prepared for a 12% VAT on every purchase, and usually automatic 18% gratuity at any restaurant/bar.

Paradise found!

The Mermaid Cottage is the most well-appointed and beautiful Rental we have ever stayed in! The minute you drive up you realize how special it is. It looks like it was freshly painted and brand new. When you walk in, you immediately see the turquoise waters outside, which draws you out to the comfortable chairs on the deck. We spent many hours sitting out here, having a cocktail, enjoying the view! Brandon is a fantastic host, and was immediately helpful when we had questions. This is a dream cottage, and we will definitely be back! Brandon, thank you for providing such a wonderful place for us to stay!

A dream cottage--our new happy place!

My husband and I stayed at the beautiful and breezy Mermaid Cottage for a getaway before our 3rd baby is due to arrive. Let me just rave and say I loved everything about this perfect little place and our trip-- it was a dream come true! We rented a boat and car so we were able to have lots of adventures and excursions, but coming back to the cottage and waking up to the indescribable beauty of the panoramic aqua-blue water view of the Sea of Abaco every morning was my favorite part of the trip. It felt like coming home even after only a few days! Cleaned spotlessly, equipped with all you need and nothing you don't, Brandon and Lucy have put thoughtful time and love into this home and ensure you have an amazing vacation by being helpful and quickly responsive to all questions/suggestions/concerns. I absolutely loved the king bed and comfy pillows and could have spent all day just sitting on the porch soaking in the view and relaxing or sitting on the edge of the dock/stairs that go right into the water. I told them before I left it's my new "happy place". We snorkeled and swam right off the dock and lounged in the chairs every night for sunset and to stare up at the starry night sky. Perfect location and the most desired in all of Marsh Harbour on the end of the Eastern Shores peninsula, it felt secluded, yet was close by to so many wonderful beaches and islands-- we loved exploring in the boat. The food in Marsh Harbour was excellent-- we ate every kind of seafood imaginable and never had a bad meal while there! I could go on and on, but will say this place is a gem and we cannot wait to return!!

Perfect Getaway

What a wonderful place to stay! This was my 5th trip to Abaco/surrounding islands. I’ve rented a few homes that were very much NOT as advertised and I’m always a bit nervous when I show up to start my vacation at a new rental. The Mermaid was actually better than advertised and is the only place I’ll rent going forward. Look no further if you’re looking for a rental that is clean, super private, centrally located with great neighbors and amazing views. Brandon was very responsive and provided all the information that anyone new to the Island would ever need to have a great trip. Thanks Brandon, we’ll be back!

Perfect setting on the turquoise waters of Abaco.

We were overwhelmed by the beauty of walking into Mermaid Cottage and looking directly out to the most beautiful water scene. The cottage is modern, clean, beautifully decorated, and extremely comfortable. From the great porch outside to the beach loungers, the great big screen tv, the very usable and up to date kitchen, and the very comfortable king size bed, we couldn't have been happier. The location of Mermaid Cottage is very close to the ferry to Elbow Cay and also close to some very good restaurants. The grocery shopping was near and easy at Maxwells. The other homes near Mermaid Cottage are quite lovely built right on the shoreline and surrounded by water. We rented a car at A&P Auto and it worked out well. We could explore the island, and a car is necessary to get around, and to and from the cottage. Overall a great Bahamian experience.
