WATERFRONT HOME - Gorgeous Views of Bayou Bernard at Mermaid Landing



Enjoy gorgeous sunsets from the wrap-around porch. Fishing from private pier. Boat launch for small watercraft (kayaks, jet skis, skiffs). The Biloxi and Tchoutacabouffa Rivers converge on the North side of Big Lake at Grasshopper Island(2nm). Launch for larger vessels conveniently located just around the corner about 1 nm. Direct access to the Gulf of Mexico is just 9 nm from the property. The barrier islands of Horn and Ship are located 12 - 15 nm offshore once you reach the Gulf. Grocery stores and Restaurants just around the corner. Shopping, Gulf Beaches, Casinos, Terrific Golf Courses and Family Attractions are all just minutes away. Perfect for a family vacation or romantic get away.

The spacious kitchen and living area affords a 180 degree view of the water from inside. The kitchen appliances have been replaced with Whirlpool's latest offerings as of May 2025. Relax and enjoy your favorite shows on the large screen TV from the source of your choice (stream your personal account, Direct TV and BluRay player provided).

The kitchen is equipped with microwave, toaster oven, coffee pot, dishwasher and all cooking utensils, including pots and skillets, that you might need. Plates, glasses and flatware are included as well.

Each of the three bedrooms have TVs as well. There is also a day room with a futon for the children to have their own space for napping, indoor playing, gaming etc. The master bedroom has a private bath with walk-in shower and closet. The other two bedrooms and the day room share a bath with a Jacuzzi Style Tub and walk-in closet.

We have been asked many times but I am sorry to say that there isn't a fire pit. While the view is fantastic, the winds are a bit strong at times for a fire pit. However, there are fire pits along the Mississippi Gulf Coast (only 2 miles from the property) that can be reserved at the site below. These are very nice with great views directly onto the Gulf of Mexico. https://harrisoncountyms.gov/how_do_i_/apply_for/sand_beach.php

Please be advised that this is a coastal property and is subject to casual flooding of the yard in the case of strong South by Southeast winds during storms and fronts on the Gulf of Mexico. These situations are not a daily occurrence but may happen during stormy conditions. It is always our intent to monitor and advise the best that we can when these situations are predicted by the local weather authorities.

The house was wonderful. We caught a lot of crabs. The home has a nice kitchen and comfy beds. There were many things in the living room for the kids to play with. It was worth the stay, even though we had to drive a bit to get to the beach. The owner was also very nice!

Beautiful bayou location

We had a wonderful stay at the bayou. Mr. Jimmy was amazing and available at a phone call. The house was great. We enjoyed fishing from the dock. Caught many different fish. Check in and out was a breeze. Would definitely recommend.

Back Bay Heaven

We absolutely loved the location of the property. Sitting on the porch, watching all the wildlife of Bayou Bernard was so relaxing. The house was great. The location felt isolated, but it was less than a mile to restaurants, grocery, and drugstores. I’m already planning another trip to Mermaid Landing!

Wonderful Time!!

This is an absolutely wonderful vacation rental especially if you want to truly relax and unwind! The water views are gorgeous and it is hard to tear yourself away from sitting on the deck with the wonderful breezes. The home is very comfortable and very well maintained. The owners are great and very accommodating. My grandson spent the whole time fishing and had a great time catching a large redfish and black drum off of the pier. I highly recommend Mermaid Landing for a great time!!

Peaceful, serene and beautiful

This by far was the best place we have ever stayed. The house is immaculate and well stocked. Mr. Jimmy made sure everything was perfect for our stay. The views were amazing. We were able to see Manatees, an alligator, bald eagles, turtles, and porpoises all from the back porch. Which was amazing to sit on to watch the sunset and sunrise. We didn’t want to leave so we extended our stay another night. We are already planning our next stay. We are at Captain Al’s one night and The Reef another night. Both are delicious!!!! Thanks again Mermaid Landing for the most PERFECT vacation!

My family ad I had such a great time! Mr. Jimmy had everything we could possibly need at Mermaid Landing. My brother and his wife made it to Mermaid Landing before i did and When I pulled in the driveway , I asked him what did he think about the property... he said "I'm ready to come back already!" We love it here! Its peaceful. We had a great time crabbing and fishing. We caught so many 🦀 crabs, we had a crab boil! And a fish fry! Mr Jimmy was very accommodating and friendly. We are ready to return in the fall! If you book a stay at Mermaid Landing,You will not be disappointed.

This spot is perfect! We enjoyed amazing sunset and sunrise views. Caught a few fish. Kayak freindly!! Especially fishing from your kayak. Convient to the beach, bayou, attractions, and it gives you a place away from the beach to unwind. The owner, Jimmy, was very friendly and checked in multiple times during our stay. His suggestions were spot on. Lil' Ray's for Po' Boys did not disappoint as he assured us they would not! We enjoyed our week and would gladly book this place in the future!

Don’t hesitate… just book it!

By far the best experience we have had! We travel as friends very often from local vacations to oversees adventures. The communication with Jimmy was better than we had hoped for. He truly cares about his guests and made sure we had an amazing weekend. Mermaids Landing is exactly as pictured with many extra bonuses… the boat access was exactly what we were looking for but a weekend without a boat would have been just as great! The local bars and restaurants were definitely a plus! We will definitely be back many, many times!

Guys in my Family Yearly Fishing Trip

We had a wonderful time. This place is tied with our favorite VRBO stay in Biloxi and that house is twice the price a night. We could tie our boat (21ft whaler) to the whips in the small canal and our jet skis up to the other side of the property (You will need some bigger bumpers). The boat launch beside the house was great for a little double jet ski trailer. The marina is about a half mile up the bay for a larger boat ramp, fueling toys was easy and convenient. Air conditioning worked great along with everything else in the house. Jimmy was very responsive and helpful with any questions. You will not regret your stay in Jimmy's VRBO. Also, there is a light on the dock that brings up fish. My Boys had a blast catching trout out at night on artificial bait.
