LOCATION:
Located in a quiet area on the West Bayside of the island The Salty Mermaid is .3 miles from the beach, a 7 min walk, and 800ft from the Bay Access at the end of the street where you can launch kayaks and paddle boards (no boat launch here) or just hang out on the beach. The bottom is sandy so its a good place for kids to wade in or to let your dogs go for a swim (on a leash).

LIVING AREA:
The heated and cooled Florida room features a daybed, two seating/lounge areas, a dining area with a passthrough to the kitchen, and a surfboard bar. The custom built wood sliding doors leading in to the house from the Florida room close to create privacy or a separate sleeping area. 

The open concept living area features a brand new fully stocked kitchen with black granite countertops and an island large enough to seat 8, new black stainless steel appliances and a refrigerator with two ice makers to keep your beverages cold on and off the beach. The kitchen has everything you need to cook up your catch of the day, make a gourmet meal, or whip up a batch of frozen cocktails. 

The dining area has a round vintage table that seats 6 in swiveling pub chairs, perfect for dinner or family game night. The additional dining areas at the kitchen island and in the Florida room allow for seating for your entire group. 

The living room features comfy sofas and chairs, and has a 64 flat screen Roku tv for all of your streaming needs. We also have a selection of board games and jigsaw puzzles for rainy days or evening entertainment. 

Each of the bedrooms and the lounge/bedroom also have a smart TV.

Two outdoor decks and a screened-in back porch allow plenty of outdoor living space. The side deck has a hot and cold outdoor shower and room to drop off and store beach equipment.
