About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

On Hutchinson Island. Large upstairs suite, private pool, beach is minutes away.

The Mermaid House is located on the northern tip of South Hutchison Island and is 7 minute walk to the beach.

Your suite has a great swing where you can relax and listen to the ocean sing. During a full moon the swing is in a perfect position and elevation to watch the moon come out of the ocean!! This unique styled property has a large, private, saltwater pool with a jacuzzi. When you are done swimming our tiki hut, with its own bar area, is next to the pool and a great place to eat, talk and enjoy a cocktail or two.

The Mermaid House has a very comfy king bed, a fully equipped kitchen, WiFi, TV, beach chairs, pool toys, and a barbecues grill just to mention a few. Please see complete list of our amenities and encourage you to review our reviews.

What's nearby: The northern tip of South Hutchison Island is where the Indian River flows into the Atlantic Ocean. Therefore you have the choice of fishing or swimming from the shores of the Indian River, which has it own white sand beach, or dropping your fishing line into the Atlantic Ocean. Literally, you can have one fishing line in the Indian River and 8 feet away your other fishing line is in the Atlantic Ocean. Needless to say we have great fishing and outstanding seafood.

Speaking of food, we are known for our boutique restaurants ranging from Latin, French, Fusion, Asian, Seafood to Food Trucks offering mouth watering barbecue to Creole delights. We have several boutique taverns, where you can enjoy a happy hour with gourmet bites while listening to live music and of course great water views.

Within a 4 mile radius we have fishing charters available, jet ski rentals, small sailing boat rentals and lessons are also available. Currently there is a free Uber service offered by City of Fort Pierce and the Mermaid House is in their area of service. In your suite you will find additional information covering the topics above.

If you are a walker this is the place. You can walk either along the beach or the main strip where many of us like to walk in the morning or evening hours. If you choose the main strip you will pass , the Florida Oceanic Museum, the St Lucie County Aquarium, the National Navy Seals Museum, the Smithsonian Marine Station on the Island, The Indian River beach park and a causeway overpass bridge that offers an excellent view of the Indian River.

We hope to see you soon and safe travels.

Just what we wanted. Very roomy and great layout. Excellent communication and experience for first time using VRBO. Nice outdoor area, wish we utilized more. Close and easy access to public beach, just have to cross A1A and a block up the road.

Mermaid House
The place was amazing! The host was fabulous! Check in process was rated a 4/5 bc I didn’t know how it all went, as this is my first time renting and I was panicking and was trying to contact the host and VRBO about access to the property. It had been a long 16 hour drive and I was ‘antsy’. But once on the property-EVERYTHING was wonderful.

Great week!
We had a blast swimming in the pool and going to the beach to enjoy the ocean. The rental was perfect for our needs and allowed us to relax and enjoy a week in the sun. We'd definitely rent here again! Fort Pierce had everything we needed for an amazing getaway - restaurants, shopping, beaches, sightseeing, etc.

Prime location for a restful beach getaway. Apartment is across the street from the beach and also includes a pool when you want a private dip. Equipped with all you need for the beach and for it to feel like home. Loved my stay and I’m already planning my next visit. Kevin was a great host. You won’t regret choosing the Mermaid house.

The property was very clean and met our expectations. We didn’t cook so can’t comment on the kitchen accommodations. Kevin was very accommodating with any needs we had. The pool area was very beautiful but the water was very cool. For sure we would stay again

We loved staying at the Mermaid House in Fort Pierce!
Kevin was brilliant, attentive and responsive. Plus a really nice guy! The amenities are great, full kitchen, two bedrooms, 3 beds, plenty of room. The lounge has really comfy couches. Not far from downtown and a 100 steps to the beach. Well done Kevin, highly recommend the place!

Nice property, a very short walk to the public beaches. Restraunts and bars are within 1.5 miles, along the picturesque Fort Pierce Inlet. Other beaches abound to the north and south, and are a short drive from the Mermaid House. The kitchen is adequately equiped. Internet was fast and reliable. We wish the hot tub worked, but all in all we would stay here again. Kevin was a pleasure to work with as well.

Mermaid House-Ft Pierce
The location of this property was perfect for the two of us, over 65. We really enjoyed walking to the Pickleball courts at Jaycee Park. The walk to the beach was short and easy. The restaurants, all a very short drive away were fun, good food and seemed to always have music when we were there. We really enjoyed relaxing on the swings at the house. We didn’t really use the pool since it is not heated, but enjoyed relaxing by it. Really enjoyed this area of Hutchinson Island, very quiet and relaxing!

Relaxing Getaway
My husband and I rented the Mermaid House for a fun and relaxing time away. The house was very clean! The beds were very comfortable. We loved the pool! The beach access was directly across the street. Having a private pool and the beach so close was perfect. We could watch the sunrise from the balcony in our PJ's! It's a short drive to many of the local restaurants. Chuck's Seafood was our favorite! It is a second floor apartment so there are quite a few steps to go up and down each time you go to the pool or anywhere else. Kevin was extremely nice and got back to us quickly when we had a question. We would defiantly stay there again!
