Enjoyable stay at the Mermaid house

8 adults stayed here recently and we really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful views, a nice clean home and a well stocked kitchen. Had one issue and the host and owner were extremely responsive and fixed the problem right away. I would recommend this home and I hope to stay there again.

Comfort in an outstanding location

This comfortable house is literally steps away from the trail bordering the ocean cliffs. The very well-equipped kitchen suited our crew of cooks, and we loved being able to walk to the Rec Center.
