A relaxing, beautiful place to stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid Cottage! The hosts were great with communication prior to arrival, and during the stay. The cottage is clean and nicely decorated. The deck is a beautiful place to sit and enjoy the ocean views, star gaze at night, BBQ, enjoy a propane fire pit, and eat meals outside. The lawn had games set up for us to play with, which the kids enjoyed. Being able to walk down to the beach in a couple of minutes was great. Me and my husband and kids all loved it, and hope to return!

I could live here
This place was absolutely perfect. It was spotless, warm, and inviting. I immediately felt like i was home. The patio has a covered and uncovered section, making it always usable. The beach was a shirt walk away, and i enjoyed my morning coffee there almost daily
