We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary with our family of 12 at Mermaid Cove and couldn't have had a better experience. The house is beautifully decorated and so comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. There was plenty of room to spread out between the lanai, living room, media room, and library. The views are GORGEOUS!!! Between the beach right outside the gate and the pool, our grandkids had the best time! We truly can't wait to stay there again.

Thank you for your review! What a joy to hear Mermaid Cove was the setting for your 40th anniversary with all twelve of your family together. Knowing there was room to spread out across the lanai, media room, and library, and that the gorgeous views, the pool, and the beach just outside the gate gave the grandkids the best time is exactly what we hope for. Congratulations on 40 years, and we'd love to welcome you back again with Gather whenever the next trip calls.

Mermaid Cove is located perfectly on Keiki Beach. The tidal pool area is great for little ones to get introduced to ocean activities without concern of waves. The view is peaceful and great for sunset. The home is lovely and stocked well inside and outside for pool and beach areas. The kitchen is spacious and has two refrigerators, and also a large wine cooler for beverages. We loved having en-suite bathrooms for each of the main 4 bedrooms. There are 2 staircases: one to enter the house from the ground floor where the pool, parking and only entrance to the green tropical bedroom are to get to the main floor, and a second from the main floor to the upper primary suite, children's room and laundry. We did have some trouble lighting the gas outdoor grill and kitchen stove, and also getting ice made, but a call to the Gather office quickly got us a lighter to use to ignite the gas and a countertop ice maker. The air-conditioners in the bedrooms were needed for humidity/warm temp. The main floor gathering areas (sitting room, dining room and kitchen) do not have a/c, so were pretty uncomfortable later in the afternoon when the sunlight came in. There are not enough windows that open in the kitchen area to get a cross breeze, so we used the portable fans from a closet. The sliding wall glass doors allow a breeze, but the birds have learned to fly in to check the floor and counters for food, and 2 got trapped in different bedrooms. Was entertaining to catch them to release. Mahalo!

Thank you! A calm tidal pool where little ones can get comfortable with the ocean is such a special part of staying on Keiki Beach, and we’re so glad Mermaid Cove made for peaceful sunsets and easy family days. It’s wonderful to hear the spacious kitchen and en-suite bedrooms worked so well for everyone, and we’re happy our team could quickly get you set up when you called. We share as much detail as possible in each listing so guests know what to expect and can plan ahead, and we truly appreciate your thoughtful notes, which we’ll be checking and reviewing. Mahalo, and we’d love to welcome your family back with Gather for more oceanside memories soon.

We had a pleasant stay here. The ocean is gentle (thanks to the shallow, rocky tide pools that break up the waves). In-room air conditioning worked well, and the lanai (with beautiful views) cooled the main section of the house with ocean breezes. The house is huge, but the Internet worked well everywhere. We had plenty of space, and the property/neighborhood rules were not onerous. My only complaint is that the water pressure to the showers could be better -- but otherwise, the house was perfect. The property managers were also very helpful when contacted.

This is a wonderful property with a great Hawaii vibe! It’s close to downtown with beautiful ocean views and the sound of crashing wave always present. Mermaid cove provides excellent snorkeling/ swimming especially for the kids in our group. The house was fully equipped. The kitchen was especially well stocked. Our host was very responsive and helpful. I go back in a flash

Mermaid Cove

We traveled to Mermaid Cove with our 3 kids, and 5 grandkids to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary. The house was everything we could have imagined and more - the perfect setting for a fantastic 10 days. Incredibly well equipped, and located right on the water - we spent happy days on the beach or in the pool.

Unfortunately the day before we arrived I reviewed a message that the pool heater was not working. That was one of our main reasons for renting this house. We weren’t sure how our granddaughter was going to like the ocean so having the pool warm for her was a must.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re truly sorry that the pool heater was not functional during your stay, especially since we understand how important it was for your family. The heater was brand new and unfortunately experienced an unexpected manufacturer defect that required a replacement part that was not immediately available. As soon as we became aware, we communicated promptly and provided the agreed-upon restitution. We’re happy to share that the heater has since been fully repaired and all aspects of the property are now functioning properly. We appreciate your understanding and wish your family all the best.

As the person before us wrote..."Unfortunately the day before we arrived I received a message that the pool/hot tub heater was not working. That was one of our main reasons for renting this house."... Same for us. We were very disappointed as we thought that it had been fixed per that January review (we had booked in Dec before that review so we were stuck and hopeful it was fixed for us). It was broken our entire week visit - they were waiting on a part to arrive and it took longer than they estimated. I will tell you the ocean is warmer than their unheated pool so we were not able to use it at all - too cold. The house was nice and a nice location being on the beach. The beach view from the house was great. If you want a functioning pool/hot tub, I'm not sure I would trust this house for a while.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the home’s beachfront setting and the beautiful views. The pool issue noted in a prior review had already been repaired before your arrival, which is why there was no earlier notice; however, an unexpected secondary component failed just before check-in and required an electrician and replacement parts. The home’s electrical system and pool components have since been fully updated to ensure everything runs smoothly. We’d love to welcome you back with Gather for a relaxing Hawaii getaway.

The house sits on an amazing small private beach that has a protected reef.
