Retro-tropics feel and character
We found the Mermaid House to be full of character, unique furnishings and art, and a sense of what visiting the tropics must have once been like before condo-world. Happily, it has modern appliances, plenty of hot water, etc. My husband and I stayed for a week in August. At first, we were dismayed by the heat & humidity. We knew there was no AC, but weren't prepared for the mid-day heat. Ceiling fans move the air around, but the floor fan helped more. Breezes were erratic, so privacy was sacrificed, as keeping the window blinds open was imperative to catch whatever air came through. That was a good thing, as several of the blinds don't work. Luckily, the house is mostly surrounded by hedges, so that wasn't a big problem for us. We ended up very glad we stayed there. A few minor tweaks would make a great place even better: A new lockbox by the door - the current one is pretty old, and the cover fell off a few times. Some new window blinds. Better directions to the house and to Tunnels Beach - the street sign is hidden by foliage, and we had to ask around to find the way to Tunnels. All in all, we're very happy to have had the Mermaid House experience. It felt "real," and adding AC would somehow lessen its island atmosphere. We enjoyed the many interesting books and appreciated the snorkeling equipment.We even loved the chickens! Mahalo to Jane for keeping this rare place intact.

Special spot
We loved our short stay at the charming Mermaid house. The house was an ample size for our family of five and it was a short walk to a beautiful beach nestled in a divine location. It was the cherry on top of our wonderful Kauai vacation.

Heaven
This a a beautiful house on a quiet street next to an amazing beach in the best part of Kauai. Just perfect. The house is full of Hawaiian charm, comfortable bed, great kitchen with everything you need and lots of places to lie around reading. The lovely beach is a short 1 minute walk down an access path and just another 5 minute walk on the sand to tunnels beach. Jane was a perfect host and the home was presented spotlessly clean. Just the best week in heaven.

Wonderful week at Mermaid House
We really liked the setup of the Mermaid House. Very comfortable, wanting for nothing. Having three bedrooms was nice. Beach chairs and towels were especially nice. Maybe the quietest Bosch dishwasher ever.

Lovely beach side house
The Mermaid House was perfect for our group. We appreciated the older and unique styling of the house. Also, it had a fully applianced equipped kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. The location is great - very private and a short walk down an inviting path to a beautiful beach.

Mermaid HouseMH
MH was such an experience! The house itself is unique. Lots of treasures to notice gathered over the years, I presume. The beach is just a couple of minutes to walk to and explore for shells. The historic town of Hanelei is a short distance away. Besides shopping and eating there are 2 markets to enjoy. Jane, answered all our questions VERY quickly. A joy to be here and experience MH.

Great house close to beaches
Great house, nice beaches close by. Great communication with owner. Only downside, was it was a little farther than most of our activities. I knew this going in. Wanted to be closer to Tunnels and Kee beaches, but waves didn’t cooperate for snorkeling. Would stay here again even though it’s a little farther from activities.

A Special Gem!
We absolutely loved our stay at the Mermaid House! This was a trip that I have been wanting to do with my family for years. It was the perfect location, we walked to the beach every day and saw both Sea Turtles and Seals! Thank you, Jane for sharing your special home. We are already talking about when we can come back and stay again!

North shore experience
The beaches in the area are beautiful. We have stayed in Kauai several times in the past. We very much wanted to stay in Hanalei and this property was misrepresented as in Hanalai until we received the final information which in light of driving times, etc., Haena is a ways away. I understand the enthusiasm in the reviews about the location We very much enjoyed ourselves, but the place is rustic and I think people need to understand that. It’s also in need of a deep cleaning. The sills, the floors, the grout, etc. We had the opportunity to renew our wedding vows together as couples on the beach next to where we were staying. That was a wonderful blessing, and we so appreciated that.

Magical
This is an absolutely magical place in paradise! The house is beautifully furnished, comfortable but not fussy, and very well equipped. The location could not be better ~ a lovely beach is literally across the street down a small path and Tunnels, the best snorkeling beach around, is a short walk. The mountains are spectacular and the beauty is everywhere. Jane was a wonderful hostess. We hope to return to this little piece of heaven.

Comfortable Hawaiian Home In A Quiet Neighborhood
My sister and I stayed at the Mermaid House for four nights. The home is located in a quiet beach house neighborhood. Neighboring homes are close by, but the vegetation surrounding the house provides ample privacy. We found the home and grounds tidy and clean and supplied with everything you need for cooking and dining at home and going to the beach. You can walk to the beach in about 1-2 minutes! And, Tunnels Beach is just down the road! We are looking forward to staying at Mermaid House again and again.

Everything was just as promised. A wonderful place to stay in a truly delightful setting. Quick walk to a secluded beach, lovely home to relax in afterwards— we were only 2, but plenty of room for more! Kitchen was extremely well stocked and a pleasure to use. Host was very responsive. Looking forward to a return trip!

Pristine Location, incredible Hawaiian home
Such a wonderful place to stay, proximity of the ocean is literally steps away, house is perfectly laid out, comfortable and has anything you could ask for. We enjoyed everything this property had to offer including contact with the Owner. Such a delightful place, why would you want to stay in a condo when you have this incredible Hawaiian home? We are a little picky when it comes to places to stay and we had absolutely no complaints... a dream! I can't stress enough how perfect the location was. We will be back... again and again and again!

Jane’s Mermaid House
The perfect getaway for our party of 8. We loved everything about the Mermaid House- comfortable and clean with lots of space for the 4 children , sleeping to the sound of the ocean, the short walk to a beautiful beach with the stunning sunrises & sunsets. The cottage itself is charming with something interesting everywhere you look. It is obvious that Jane has taken great care and love to preserve the history of her special home. Jane was approachable , easy to communicate with and answered my questions quickly . The Mermaid House is a peaceful and restorative haven and we will definitely be back. Thank you Jane.

Beautifully Secluded Home
We are a more introverted family and this place was incredible for our needs. We enjoyed the quick walk to the beach and the overall feel of the house. So glad there are still a few of these more traditional feeling homes on the island. The stroll up the coastline each morning was magical and this side of the island gave us a whole different experience than the rest of it. When we come back again we'll be sure to stay here.

Treasure House
What a treasure this house is, full of history and authenticity. If you are looking for a resort style house, this is not it, thankfully! There are a few of these local style houses left that owners like Jane keep as they were in layout and design, but with up to date amenities of today like a fantastic kitchen. I was here with my adult daughter but could see coming back with a larger group and having plenty of space to lounge and feast on mahi after a day with the sea turtles. I haven’t even mentioned the beach yet-show stopper, the water with more visibility than a pool. If you are a sailor or and kind of water person, you must read about Peggy Slater, yachtswoman extraordinaire, who built this house after one of her many transpacific journeys from Cal-one of them single handed! Thank you Jane for keeping her spirit alive in the home as I imagined her putting that first Mai Tai umbrella up the mainmast! THis place is not to be missed and I will certainly be back. Mahalo nui loa…
