We had an excellent time at Mermaid Manor. Very comfortable overall. There were a few appliances that didn't work well. The washer was out of order, the exhaust fan for the stove didn't work, the TVs in the bedrooms wouldn't connect to anything. But again, it's a cool place and we had a great time.

The property overall is very nice. The beds are comfortable, there are plenty of linens and towels, and the kitchen is well stocked. The location, so near the beach, and the little store right next door, is great. The coastal decorations throughout the house are very fun. The TV worked easily for us. The shower products and makeup remover wipes are a nice touch. Getting in to the property was a bit tricky, as the directions were a little unclear (to us) with all the different codes, but Casago was very responsive and we called them and got it figured out. For future guests, there is lots of kindling under the large fiberglass cover in the back yard. We could not get the electronic ignition to work on the BBQ, and there was no propane lighter or matches in the house that we could find, so it would be good to bring your own. Also, the ice maker on the refrigerator is not hooked up, so you will need to bring ice. Overall, a very nice stay, and my friends and I would rent Mermaid Manor again.

We had a really great time! The house is really close to MacKerricher state park. The house was really nice and beds were comfy. Only negative was that there were a lot of ants. But I would stay here again!

Wonderful

Stayed here for 5 days with our kids, 7 of us total, plenty of space. This was a beautiful home with great amenities. We had an issue with the alarm for part of our stay, but had great communication with management and were graciously compensated for the inconvenience. We'd definitely stay here again!

Perfect for a Mom's getaway

All six Mom's I brought here for a weekend away from the kiddos LOVED this house. It is very well situated in the area, it has the best kitchen supplies of any house I have ever rented, and it has a great table and perfect gathering spaces inside and out. We were also very pleased by the amazing decor of Mermaid Manor. Thank you for renting us this home.

Wonderful trip

We really enjoyed this house. It was well stocked, soaps, towels, etc. couldn’t find a washcloth for the kitchen, but paper towels did the trick along with the sponge and dish towel. Cooking here was awesome, plenty of kitchen supplies.no heat nor air conditioning but we really didn’t need it. Will look forward to coming back.

Lovely place

I had a really challenging time finding it as the address is not where Google maps says it is. Just FYI it is two houses south of the Cleone grocery store not near the Cleone Gardens where Google maps says it is. With that said, once we got there we had a lovely time. It’s a beautiful property and a great location.

Lovely Beach Home!

This house is so charming and beautifully remodeled. The kitchen is fully stocked with every tool we needed for cooking. We walked to the beach, approx 1/2 mile or so. The nearby Mexican restaurant was also convenient. We wished we could have stayed longer in this sweet home. Things you may want to be aware of: The lock boxes for the keys are difficult to use, or at least they were for us. There are other people living on the property in a separate home. There is no privacy in the backyard. This was not an issue for us but might be for others. The only low rating was for Vacasa, which I found to be completely unresponsive to my emailed questions. I did appreciate their timely and thorough text reminders.

Delightful house

This house is full of cozy amenities, creativity, and charm. There is a very nice, sheltered deck area that we weren't able to use, due to weather, but it would be a big asset if it weren't raining. The house easily accommodated 5 adults and two children. Every surface is new inside - it must have been gutted before the remodel. We love the fact that beautiful redwood from the original interior was refashioned into gorgeous cabinetry. The description on VRBO stated that the house was a 3 minute walk from the beach. That isn't accurate - at least not for our family. It seemed like the beach was about a mile away. The beach itself, in that spot, wasn't kid friendly. The location of the house, between a Mexican restaurant and little market was very convenient. The hot tub was greatly enjoyed. There is a bathtub in the house which isn't in any of the photos. The beds are comfortable. We had a great time at Mermaid Manor!

Large impeccably remodeled 1880s house. Furnished nicely with room for 10 guests. Located near Makerricher Park which has free day use. Home is a couple of miles from Fort Bragg where you'll find everything you need. Kitchen is well appointed and a joy to cook in. Cleone store is really close and has soda, beer and chips. Host is very communicative.
