This property is very spacious, had plenty of room for our family of 7. It is extremely clean and well kept. Kitchen was well stocked with all appliances and cookware needed. Over a great stay!
Great place and location! A little out of the main area, but still a 5 min drive to everywhere! House was clean and check in/out was very easy! Would stay again 10/10
Mystical Mermaid is a nice place which is clean and very nicely equipped. The beds are comfortable and the place is roomy. We enjoyed our stay.

I was able to get hold of the company when needed, They were able to take care of our needs immediately! They were very sympathetic with all our medical problems at home! Although things worked out at home, they understood and were ready to help. We have already rebooked for next year! Also due to my health, our unit had no stairs to climb!

We enjoyed our stay. Location was great! I would recommend getting some better pillows for all the beds, and thicker mattresses for the bunk beds (they were a little thin and it was like sleeping on plywood). The ceiling fan was broken in the back bedroom and it got a little stuffy. It would also be helpful to have some type of hooks to hang wet clothing/bathing suits or towels in the bathroom.

It was a very nice condo. Kids had a great time in the pool. Not too far from beach but wish it was closer. The only problem we had was dishwasher was leaking. The maintenance man was there fairly quickly and the property management gave me a 10% refund which was nice. We enjoyed our stay there and would come back for sure and enjoy the property.

The mermaid it the one we stayed in it was really beautiful.I love that the the porch area is enclosed kids can run around with out worry. The downfalls were the instructions finding the place could have hinted that it was Pirates Bay was behind the Hyatt we looked every where for this place and we have visited Port Aransas at least every other year. The kitchen needed more plates and bowls. But other than that it was very nice and clean. I would definately go back.

Reviewer Comments:
Our cottage was very nice and very roomy & clean. Beautiful decor. Beds were a bit hard & they could put on softer sheets. We had everything we needed here. The pool was nice, although way too small for the amount of people in Pirates Bay & the water was way too warm. There is a second pool but it’s even smaller, so heats up even more. The main issue for us was not being able to have a golf cart. If that’s something your family enjoys and needs to get to beach without having to take your cars down, be warned you can’t drive up the hwy. You have to sneak across and it is illegal so, that was annoying. Other than that, our stay here was wonderful.

First, I really appreciate how easy it was to do all the paperwork and to check in, to get in! I've rented other properties and it was utter chaos. This was great and the people were super nice where we got the check in info. The property was very cute, felt roomy with the high ceilings, has a wonderful decor and vibe, and the outdoor shower and private sitting area were wonderful for my sister, myself, and my three legged, wonderful rescue dawg. The place was very well appointed with things we needed, and there was plenty of TP, soaps, etc, even though we brought more just in case. The rooms were laid out well so that we had our own spaces and privacy when we wanted it. The outdoor shower was great for keeping us all clean so there was no mess in the house. We loved the pool too, after spending enough time at the beach, and the location is very nice and convenient to restaurants, the primary store, and to the beach. Check out was fine and there were no surprises in the fees or costs. I highly recommend this place and it was especially a treat for my sister and myself to have a causal hang out, and a first traveling trip for my tripod. All went very smoothly.

Reviewer Comments:
Neat Layout of the whole complex. Tall Ceilings. Nothing was over exaggerated - no bait and switch. The quality of the amenities were mostly 5 star. The living room TV needs to be replaced - the speakers in the TV are muffled and it needs to be a smart TV with options for Netflix’s and Amazon sign in like the Master Bedroom. I liked all the Decor accents and how the Mermaid and Beach theme all added to the ambiance of the trip. Very comfortable bedding and extra bedding as well. Plenty of towels. Marble Countertops. The fridge was kitchen made for some nice home cooked meals. The WiFi was awesome because my AT&T had only a bar of LTE. The area felt safe - the island felt safe - day and night - it was a safe place. This area will explode with growth soon. The local Restaurants and shops are friendly. Port Arkansas is a jewel but it’s also a community. If you have extra money to spend - spend it while you are there. I’m a business owner myself - so my heart goes out these small time businesses here.

The place was beautiful and perfect for our family vacation! We were able to bring our dogs which made our family complete. The space was perfect, very cutely decorated! The only suggestions are: make sure cleaning crew actually sanitizes before 1)next guest arrives (it smelled like dog urine when we walked in); 2) provide more than 4 towels for a place that sleeps 8 people. Other than these two things - it was GREAT! We will be returning again and staying here!
