Nutty Mermaid in the summer

5 of 5
Submitted: December 18, 2007 Stayed: August 2007
My family, myself, and friends had a great time at the Nutty Mermaid. We have been all over the Bahamas, and I do mean all over. We were a mix of tech divers, reef divers, beachcomers, snorklers, and boaters, and Nutty Mermaid had it all for us. Make no mistake, you will need a car, but those are easily arranged in the city.
A perfect blend of privacy, with access to a "major" city, we really enjoyed the nite sky unpolluted by city lights, no noise, and a world class private beach. I'm not even a beach-goer, but this sandy beach in the back yard is unbeatable for small kids and adults alike. This is on the clear, brilliant, Sea of Abaco; the largest waves we had in our week were maybe 3 inches!
The minor downsides are a few horseflys, and you will need to drive to a restaurant; no real public transportation out there. The use of some minutes on a local cellphone was an unexpected bonus. Highly recommended, and I hope to return.

Truly Paradise

Submitted: May 1, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
The listing was very accurate and yet did not do the property justice. You have to see it to believe it. Michelle was wonderful to deal with as well as Joy the caretaker. Very nice, honest people. The property was immaculate and beautifully maintained. Everything worked. There were a lot of extras like snorkel gear, kayack, sunfish, great kitchen equipment etc... The review book at the house gave helpful tips of the sights to see. Nippers at Guana Kay is a must. We ate most meals at home. We could not have asked for a better vacation spot. There were 5 of us aged 26 to 82 and we all had a wonderful time. I will bring my grandson (age 4) next time. It is a very safe area and perfect swimming for all ages. It is truly a treat to spend a week at the Nutty Mermaid. Michelle, thanks for sharing this beautiful place. LCJ Cape Cod MA

Great family vacation place

5 of 5
Submitted: April 23, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
This is our fourth or fifth stay (lost count) at Nutty Mermaid. Each time is better than the last. The home is beautiful and private and well-stocked in a neighborhood between Marsh Harbor and Nutty Mermaid. We rent a car at Starfish, shop for groceries at Maxwell's, rent a boat at Rainbow, check into the house and time just slows down! We can relax under the palm trees, explore the islands off the beach, walk the beach, and just RELAX! I can only hope this is what our retirement looks and feels like! Our two daughters 15 and 10 love Nutty Mermaid and count down the days until our next stay. We will be back in June for a longer stay!

Beautiful Beach at the Nutty Mermaid

5 of 5
Submitted: March 27, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
The Nutty Mermaid is a great place to travel to with spouse/partner, friends and family. How can you not love waking up to the beach as your backyard every morning!! The house is very accommodating and spacious!! There is so much to do whether you want to just hang out on the beach and relax or go kayaking, snorkeling, and fishing. The location is great it's only a short car ride for restaurants/bars, site-seeing, exploring and shopping!

Owner's Response: So pleased you enjoyed my home, I try to make it as comfortable as possible. Thanks for taking good care of the place while you were there, most of my guests are good about it but you were excellent. I like leaving my stuff there for people to use, like snorkel equipment, fishing poles, ect. You cleaned them so nicely, I appreciate it and hope to have you back soon!
