Mermaids Landing is a picture-perfect, chic and comfy, extremely functional little beachfront gem of a cottage that lives very big! Artist's cottage sports fun decor and easy care finishes; just the place to spend a weekend... or a month or two on the Oregon coast!
Writers & painters, this is your spot! (Also great for those 'girlfriend getaways', honeymoons or just getting away on your own. Guests say they don't want to leave!
The great room is big enough to host a party, but intimate enough just for two! Satellite TV, filled bookshelves, lux white leather sectional sofa, and a fantastic coconut shell chandelier! A daybed that also converts to a queen bed allows 4 people to be very well accommodated in this special place!
The compact, but very functional as well as artsy kitchen is an entertainers delight (6 burner gas cooktop, quality small appliances & equipment as well as pretty dishes and plenty of glassware)!
Two unique, very beachy 'dock' decks add real character to this cottage, one the entry porch and the other heads from the great room out toward the beach. Enjoy your morning cup of coffee, summer barbecues and/or wine afternoons!
Upstairs, the bedroom is a true respite, light & airy in creams & aqua with vaulted ceilings, a subtle 'wave' wall (so soothing to drift off to sleep or awaken to), and an extremely comfortable king bed (seriously: 6 people have purchased the same bed after sleeping in it, and the 7th just said they plan to!) There's a computer desk at the window for those who must do a little work; the view from it might make it a bit hard to concentrate on work however!
A full size washer & dryer plus a custom bath: lighthouse stripes climb one wall, while a custom (created by the owner) glass tile octopus surrounds a porthole in the shower, giving you peek at the bay even while you wash!
Be forewarned: a stay at Mermaids Landing may be addictive... you WILL be back!!
We do fill up completely every summer, so it's never to early to book your spring and summer stay!

Sue Lyons purchased this cottage in 2010
We built Mermaids Landing in 2012 as a 'temporary' cottage, actually the future double garage of a larger planned beach house. After living in the cottage for a summer, we realized we loved little now!! We are happy to share this special retreat so that others can enjoy it too!
Stained concrete floors downstairs make for easy-care, barefoot beach living! The open plan make this space absolutely delightful with a ton of light and excellent views of the water, sand and ever-changing weather patterns. Take your morning cup of coffee for a beach walk, sit around a beach bonfire at night. In between, there are countless things to do... or just do nothing. Either way, we are certain you will be more than delighted with this simple but beautiful beach abode... deigned especially for casual living at the Oregon Coast.
We had a great time at this cottage. I loved the decor; it was very unique and special. The view of the bay was fabulous. The kitchen had everything I needed to make a great meal and I could have left my french press at home since it even had that! We would stay here again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this adorable beach cottage.
The home is well equipped and comfortable and within driving distance to restaurants and shops.
We'd love to book this place again next time we are in the area!
Our parents rented this beautiful beach cottage for our honeymoon. We absolutely loved it and will recommend this cute and cozy ocean getaway. Thanks you!
We were looking for a beach house to check out the Oregon coast & found this gem! It truly couldn't have been more perfect!!! Loved the decor & the beach theme throughout. The location was perfect as well.
Thank you to the owners for creating such a lovely space! We can't wait to go back!!!!
Mermaid's Landing is very nice. The kitchen had pretty much anything we needed. It is super close to the bay and we could tell the tide by looking out the window. We didn't try clamming, this time, but it is on our list. Love the glass tiles in the bathroom., especially the octopus with the window in the shower. We look forward to returning.
Quiet, close to the bay, clean, everything needed for entertainment was available. The foam bed was nice too - we might get one. Highly recommended.
I almost hate to write this review, letting out the best kept secret on the Oregon Coast! Mermaid's Landing is idyllic - cozy, quiet, artsy, beautifully decorated, and the location is perfect!! Every morning we watched the birds and seals, the view changing with the tides. A medium walk to the Taft area brings you to Mo's and access to the beach, as this property is on the Bay - better than the beach!! We booked for a month, extended an additional week, and wished we never had to leave!! We'll be back!! Suzy and Greg have opened their gem of a cottage to all of us, don't pass this retreat by!! Thank you!
Right in our local area (Taft), there's a great neighborhood gym (Fitness 101), grocery store, kids arcade gallery, great restaurants, bonfire building, kite flying, kayaking and clamming on the flats and fishing up the Salmon River or along Salishan spit if you've got a boat.
