Good to know

The property sits on a large lot with ample parking for three vehicles- without having to park on the street. The bedrooms are all very roomy with lots of natural light. The kitchen is huge with tons of storage and a gas stove. There is a full dining area inside and out. But, our favorite part is the outside seating area. With an outdoor sofa and grill, we love to sit outside and catch up with friends and family after a day at the beach. (We have an outdoor shower to wash off the salt, too). There are plenty of beach toys and bikes to make sure you enjoy your days in the sun to the fullest. So, come hang out and relax at The Blue Mermaid.
