Well, when you say you would stay here again that tells you a lot! Great additional parking pad in alley with safe fence access( parked there a lot because street parking usually taken. Wonderful patio to relax on. Rhonda’s husband was walking their dog when we arrived and he helped us park and gave us tips. Clean comfortable cottage perfect for my granddaughter and me. Had anything you would need for a stay(very thoughtful) Great-great location for everything, easy to beach, shops and restaurants. So in summary- loved it and would stay again! BIG PLUS- I left over 1000 dollars worth of jewelry in a velvet pouch on bed….they were so honest and kind, they let me know and mailed to me fedx…..thank God for honest folks still out there who truly care about those who stay with them….if I could give them 10 stars I would!!!

The Mermaid House was perfect for our couples getaway. The house was clean, close to the beach and restaurants. The outside lights weren’t working the 1st night but Rhonda was very quick to get them fixed. The kitchen has everything you need. We were so thankful for the off the street parking because out front you may have issues finding parking close to the house. The house was beautiful and comfortable, I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Thank you!

Great local, clean room, effective and communicative host! The proximity to all the hot spots was awesome!

The host was very easy to engage with. The home is very cute. The location was nice and easy to access the beach. Unfortunately it was very quite dirty. I believe there was black mold in the home and I became ill with a sinus infection shortly after our stay. Again, it’s a cute home, but needs some rehab and deep cleaning.
