We had a fabulous time at Luna Mermaid!!
The local staff was very responsive to our every need! The team brought out new bikes, fixed a pool issue and even made a relatively minor repair just to make our stay the more enjoyable! The property is beautifully-appointed and is the highlight above others on Luke Ave. Its very spacious with adequate parking, bedrooms, bathrooms and seating areas (both indoors and out). Having 3 cooking stations was perfect for a large family gathering. The landscaping is prestine and maintained with care! We enjoyed sitting among the trees and shrubbery watching the butterflies. The street is quaint and very peaceful. The one transition safety issue was addressed to the team, I know they'll make it a top priority.

We are delighted to hear that your stay at our property was so enjoyable and that our local staff could meet all your needs promptly and efficiently. It's fantastic to know that the new bikes, pool repair, and other minor touches added significantly to your experience. We take great pride in our property's spaciousness, aesthetic appeal, and functionality, especially for large family gatherings like yours. The fact that you found the three cooking stations perfect for your needs and the landscaping and peaceful ambiance conducive to relaxation is heartening. We appreciate your acknowledgment of the well-maintained outdoor areas and are glad you enjoyed the natural beauty and tranquility. Thank you for bringing the transition safety issue to our attention; rest assured, it is being addressed as a top priority. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future for another memorable stay!

Amazing
Stayed here with family and friends, we had an amazing time. The pool and BBQ area made for some amazing afternoons. The beach was a short safe walk away and the water was crystal clear. We will be looking to rebook this location again!

5-Star Beach Getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our four-night stay at Luna Mermaid. The property was clean, well kept, and within close proximity to the beach! Having access to the pool and grill after a long day at the beach was a plus, too. The ocean Reef staff was terrific to work with, and promptly answered any questions we had. I would definitely recommend this property to families or groups of friends looking for a beach getaway!

Wonderful Stay!
We recently stayed at Luna Mermaid with our family. We had such a wonderful time! Plenty of room for adults and children. The pool was really the hit with our Grandchildren. They spent so much time in it (adults, too) and had so much fun. The pool house was so convenient with the Grandchildren spending so much time in the pool. Everything we needed was right there. And plenty of seating around the pool, too!

Excellent for large group
This property is excellent for large groups we found everything as advertised. It was super clean and decorated very light and airy. Our 15 loved it. The kids loved the bunks and the pool. The neighborhood was beautiful and quiet and very near everything you might need. The king beds were sooo comfortable I could have just layed there all day and read. (Well, I actually did, one day). Great property. I highly recommend it.
