What couples highlight
“The back area of the inn is beautifully adorned with lawn chairs, benches, and an area to eat, plus, each room's patio has two beach chairs and your own small dining area.”
“Though the building is older it's right next to the Lifeguard station on the beach.”
From the reviews
Very quaint, cozy place. Small, only 5 rooms. Rooms are quiet and clean. Off the main street, so it's quiet. Man the shower was the best hotel shower I have ever seen! The location is great. Just a short walk to Flagler Ave (drink, dine, shop then drink again). Nice ocean view.
We needed a beach getaway and this fit the bill perfectly!!! Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The main drawback to our trip was the room next door. They were in town for a family wedding and the family ķept showing up in the patio/courtyard area....
I have been a patron for many years and can say this place is top notch in accommodating your every need. The rooms are immaculate and you are provided plush linens and comforters. Lisa takes great care in making your stay memorable. The beach is right outside your door and views can not be beat.
Hidden gem! What a great find for a quick getaway. Rooms are cozy for two- clean and well decorated. Comfortable bed. And the best part is you just open your back door and the beach is steps away! We also walked to the popular Flagler Ave where there are plenty of shops, restaurants & cafes. Excellent stay!
Getting married at The Salty Mermaid Oceanfront Hotel
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
