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. 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.

My whole family loved our stay at Mermaid Landing. We were so close to shopping and the beach. Plus we were able to get up whenever we felt like it and step out on the pier and fish.

Absolutely beautiful view!
My boyfriend and I just spent TEN days here, and we loved it! We came with plans to get away from the world for a while, and for him to go fishing and visit some friends he hadn't seen in years. This home is clean, spacious, the kitchen is pretty well stocked with everything you need to cook. We had great weather, HOT days, and a few stormy days. The views for every type of day were just amazing. The fans on the deck come in handy. Have bug spray. The only real complaint is the yard and the issues with tides filling the ENTIRE culdesac and most of the yard. To the point that several times if we had not been in a truck we would not have been able to come in or go out of the spot under the house. If you have a regular car it could present a problem and that is the only reason I mention that part. I feel like it should be mentioned in the description. Also, because of the way the yard is flooding the grass is really messed up, and you will get your feet wet if you want to go down the steps ftom the house to the dock. Children really have no yard to play in because of the water or the damaged grass if you hoped for that. Both of those issues might be time of the year related though. Sadly fishing from the dock proved impossible, night time there are tons of gar fish that hang around. Day time he was only catching catfish or crabs. But saying all of that, we do already know that we will definitely book here again. Jimmy is helpful, and we truly enjoyed our time!

Amazing Waterfront Lakehouse
We have been vacationing at the Mermaid Landing since it became available on VBRO. It has not ever been a disappointment. It’s the perfect location for quiet time with the family. But close enough to get the full experience with the beach and casinos! Enjoyed sitting out on the porch listening to the birds chirping and watching the fish jump in the lake. Mr. Jimmy is very kind and helpful. Always available if you need something. If I could rate it higher than 5 stars I would. My husband and family come here every year since it became available and plan on going back again next year!

Absolutely PERFECT!!!!!
WOW! This house was what it said it was and much more. The house is very spacious and had plenty of space for our group of 5, but could hold many more. We woke up Thanksgiving morning and the DISH Network was out of order and Mr. Jimmy had the company there to ensure we were not inconvenienced by this outage nor missed one second of football. This was one of our most memorable Thanksgivings we've had and renting Mr. Jimmy's house is what made it such a perfect holiday with family. I can't wait to return and we are already trying to plan our next trip to stay here again, and hopefully this will be an annual event. Also, the home is conveniently located to stores and restaurants and a short drive to the casinos in Biloxi. It's also a short drive to Ocean City which is a MUST SEE!!!!!! We rented a golf cart for my elderly mother to comfortably ride along the light lined streets and we enjoyed all of the small shops and boutiques along the main street and we enjoyed delicious food. The wide array of food choices was crazy and had something for everyone and all of the people we encountered along the strip were so friendly and appreciative for our visit. Thank you Mr. Jimmy for allowing us to celebrate our Thanksgiving at your home. This was our first holiday after the loss of my step father to Covid just 2 months ago and my mother's first holiday without him here to celebrate, so it was a special holiday in a special home! Thank you Mr. Jimmy!

A Quiet and Unique House
We had a fun time at Mermaid Landing. Everything was close by but we felt we had the area to ourselves. Jimmy was very helpful with our questions and the house how had everything we needed. The water rises during high tide and covers the back but it wasn't anything to worry about. We tried Mr Greek down the road and it was fantastic. There's also a good place (Island Seafood) nearby if you want to cook fresh shrimp or redfish. My son made delicious gumbo and found all the utensils he needed at the house. We did a $15.00 day pass to swim at the Hard Rock which was a 15-minute drive away. Check-out was also easy and I'm already looking at staying again. Wonderful experience.

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!

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!

Well the vacation was a welcome break and we enjoyed our stay. Jimmy was quite the excellent host, keeping in touch with us and offering assistance with where to eat and researching where to get fishing bait. Also as my mother-in-law is in her upper 80's he went out of his way to assist with her getting around. Thank you so much for all your help.

We went to Biloxi to spend Christmas with our son who is stationed at Keesler AFB and wanted someplace comfortable to stay. Mermaid Landing was absolutely perfect. The pictures of the home are accurate and we immediately felt at home in this lovely waterfront home. The host was terrific with communication and told us not to hesitate to contact him for anything. The house is well stocked with everything to make your stay comfortable. It was even decorated for Christmas, which was a GREAT touch! We felt cozy and comfortable, and had an incredible view of the water. Highly recommend this lovely home!

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!!
