When I went swimming as a kid, I would always pretend I was a mermaid. Sort of like Ariel the Little Mermaid - but the 'me' version of the beloved Disney character - whatever the 'me' version of Ariel happened to be.
I had a pretty vivid imagination so it kept me entertained for quite some time. Of course, you eventually grow up, leaving your days of make-believe firmly behind you as a result.
'Under the Sea' from The Little Mermaid:When I hit the pool nowadays, I am no longer my own version of the Little Mermaid - just plain old me.
But if you were anything like me as a kid, you may want to revisit your childhood dreams by renting this magical mermaid house.
Dubbed the Seashell House, the gorgeous mermaid-inspired home is found on the coast of Isla Mujeres, in Mexico.
The house comes complete with a private pool (duh!), shell ornaments, a shell fountain, and a stunning bed with a giant shell for a headboard.
It's also very reasonably priced. The property is listed on Airbnb for an affordable £236 per night. The house is fit for four people so that would work out to be £59 per night per person.
So, if you're tempted by the prospect of living in your very own Little Mermaid castle (and spending some time in Mexico too), then get a few of your pals to rent this magical property with you!
