Mermaid Lagoon! Beautiful waterway views, private pool, great family getaway!

Dog friendly with the convenience of a fenced yard, this newly renovated 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home is on a quiet street and only a short walk to the beach, restaurants, and steps to the intracoastal waterway. The inverted floor plan makes the most of the spectacular waterway views AND has a master bedroom with attached bathroom on each floor! We also offer a beautiful in-ground pool (14'x30'). Mermaid Lagoon sleeps 10, including a bunk bed and trundle bed, so you can comfortably accommodate the whole family. A Pack and Play in the downstairs closet. Amenities include: 2 children's scooters a few beach chairs, sand toys, and a beach cart to carry them. Enclosed outdoor shower and propane grill are ready for your use. Have lunch by the pool or relax in the many wonderful spaces on this property. After fishing on the pier and public dock (only steps away) , soak in the view from one of the large porches. Plenty of parking in the driveway and under the house.

Within easy walking distance is the ice cream shop, several restaurants, a fresh seafood market and fishing pier. Walk to the bandstand for weekly entertainment during the summer season.

Please be respectful of our neighbors, family, and friends that live near us. :)

Comfortable beds and a lot of little surprises that make it feel like home! Legos in the kids room, board games, books and a ton of pool floats/ beach accessories that were available for us to use was so helpful. The porch view seeing the waterway was perfect! Great property!

Mermaid Lagoon never disappoints! This beautiful beach house has absolutely everything you need for the perfect Holden vacation! This is our 3rd time staying at this property and truly is a home away from home! The pool is the perfect touch for hot afternoons!! Location is great too, easy walk to the beach, restaurants, coffee shop and icecream! The whole process from reserving to check in/check out was seamless! We really enjoyed being able to bring our pups this trip too! Thanks for an awesome week!

Awesome Vacation!

The stary at Mermaid Lagoon was awesome. The property was as advertised and better. The house was very family friendly and provided everything we needed for our stay to be unforgettable. I can't forget the property manager, Linda. She was always communicating with us and was extremely helpful. A definite plus for the property. We loved our stay and the family is already talking about returning next year!

Holden

Really nice place. The communication once on the Island was exceptional, lots of helpful tips and support without getting into our vacation time. The place is a bit of a walk to the beach but imo the sunset view of the waterway plus the pool more than make up for that. We had 6 people staying there, plenty big enough for that AND we had family members (from another house) visit us on two evenings and there was plenty of social room, especially with the big front porch and also the pool area. We would stay here again!

Perfect beach vacation week at Holden Beach. This house was in a great location to get to the beach and also to fish off the public doc that sits on the ICW. The pool was a great hangout area too. The house was a perfect fit for our family.
