What an amazing home, very comfortable, welcoming and perfect for a family with kids. The bedrooms were all very comfortable and had great beds. The living room and kitchen were well stocked and a great place to relax and unwind with beautiful ocean views. The highlight for my kids was the hot tub, they loved it. If you love mermaids or even if you don't this house is gorgeously furnished and very unique. I highly recommend this home for a family with kids, we will certainly rent it again when we come back to Eureka.

Thank you for the kind words! This home clearly made a wonderful impression! Comfortable bedrooms, a well-stocked kitchen, and ocean-view living spaces provided a relaxing stay, while the hot tub was a big hit with the kids. The unique mermaid-themed decor adds extra charm, and it’s fantastic that you’d return for another visit.

Very nice only complaint the sheets were on sideways in the first guest bedroom and the mattress was a little flat and couldn’t figure out how to turn off the hanging outdoor lights. The views were amazing. The house was beautiful and clean.

This house has amazing views and is in a very nice neighborhood with walking/biking paths. Close to everything, restaurants, bars, grocery stores & beaches. You do have to drive to the beaches because the Mad River separates the beach from the home. The decor is fun and bright! If you love mermaids like me, this is a perfectly mermaid themed house! The Christmas Tree and decor was a great touch. Very well stocked kitchen! The best I have ever experienced & very clean. I didn’t feel I had to wash everything before using, kudos to the housekeepers! Beds were very comfortable and plenty of towels, even for the hot tub, which was nice to have after a long walk on the beach. Loved our stay at Mermaid Cove!!!

Thank you for such a thoughtful and enthusiastic review. We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed the amazing views, fun and bright decor, and the mermaid theme throughout the home. It is wonderful to know the kitchen, cleanliness, comfortable beds, and extra touches like towels for the hot tub made your stay so enjoyable. We are so glad Mermaid Cove was a memorable place for you and would love to welcome you back again.
