Sit on a bench out front, and watch the seals and otters play in the giant kelp beds. Or stroll the hiking trail along the shore at sunset.
Our season is year-round! So book your reservation now, before it's too late.
The Fall is the peninsula's best-kept secret.

We love Pacific Grove and the cosy feel of the Mermaid Retreat. Its location one block from the ocean, close to Lover’s Point is excellent. The owners are helpful and friendly. It is also dog friendly. This was our third stay and we will be back. Thanks, Barry and Elizabeth

Great location, cute little cottage with everything you need. A few quibbles: we got no communication on how to enter on arrival though when we got there it was not an issue but that was anxiety producing nonetheless. A skylight over the bed is not conducive to sleeping-in or afternoon naps, and the Wi-Fi is ok in the bedroom area but weak elsewhere. We really appreciated that the hosts accommodated our dog and the proximity to the Oceanside trail is great for walks!

Response from VrboOwner on 12 May, 2026
Thanks for your comments. You should have received Entry Instructions from VRBO 3 days before your arrival. It's supposed to come from them and not us. I'm sorry for the confusion and anxiety. But I'm glad your visit was overall good. Barry

what a great stay. The house was well stocked and the location was incredible. We enjoyed our daily walks along the beach looking for sea otters and other animals. Barry was a very responsive host. We look forward to our next visit

Due to a family emergency, I had to pull out at the last minute. But Barry was so understanding and helpful while I navigated the process. Have stayed here multiple times and would never stay anywhere else. Hope to rebook soon!
