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!!!

Such a charming place to spend the week!

This house was the perfect place for our family to gather for a week— plenty of space for everyone while still feeling cozy. The views were amazing, and we loved starting and ending our day on the deck watching the ocean!

Amazing Beach House

We loved this house. It was perfect for our annual friends book vacation. We loved how spacious it was and enjoyed sitting on the porch (or in the hot tub) watching the ocean as we relaxed. The house was super clean and had everything we needed. Plus the beds are so comfortable we contacted the property manager to find out what mattresses they had. Overall amazing stay.

AMAZING

Absolutely one of the most incredible rentals I’ve had the pleasure to stay at. The property was gorgeous, with a stunning view off the back deck. Amazing sunset. Just a few of the features: nice hot tub, kayaks, bicycles, gas fireplace (indoor and outdoor), keurig w/ coffee and creamers, and more. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Come enjoy the Mermaid Cove!
