Pelee Island - Mermaid on Lorain

Another great Trip to Pelee Island at Mermaid on Lorain. This is our third stay and it was amazing. The place was spotless when we arrived for check in. The location on the Island is amazing with some of the best sandy beach front on the Island. The house is very nice and had a lot of the essentials. We look forward to going back next year!

We had a great time at the cottage! The utilities were all working perfectly, they had all kinds of kitchen supplies, beach chairs, umbrella etc. The place was organized and clean when we got there and it was very easy and smooth to check in. If you have kids, they have playpen :) Definitely staying here again!

Beautiful cottage, well equipped and maintained. I really appreciated the large umbrella on deck to block some of the morning sun. The furniture and beds were comfortable and clean. Nice kitchen with good appliances and cooking supplies. Great beach.

A beautiful location on a sandy beach

We chose this property because of its location on a swimming beach. The views and the water were perfect. The property manager, Madeline, was right next door and was very helpful. We enjoyed using the camp chairs to enjoy the deck and I also used the lounge chair when I was swimming. There were pool noodles and beach toys available too. The kitchen had everything we needed without feeling cluttered. The property had a very homey feeling and the furniture in the living room was very comfortable. My one suggestion would be to update and streamline the printed property instructions, especially for checkout. There were several partial copies there and the instructions included taking the trash to a facility that was closed on our check-in day -- even if the facility had been open, we already had a full car. Trimming the checkout list to the essentials would make for a friendlier departure. The best feature of the property is the location on the East side of the island. If you get up early enough you can have coffee with a view of the sunrise and maybe even catch a freighter or a sailboat on the horizon.

Incredible Location

Being on the beach was a huge plus, and the cottage did have room for all six of the adults in my group to get along comfortably. There were a few minor things that differed from the listing, but nothing that could spoil our stay. The house was quite clean but also had quite a few spiders - we seemed to be the first guests of the season so again, not a deal breaker. My group is already planning a return to the island, as this was our first time visiting and we loved it!

beautifully tranquil

Stayed here the long weekend with 5 friends. This cottage is well maintained and clean, beds are comfortable with ample sized rooms, kitchen is well supplied with all you need for cooking, the beach is beautiful which you can walk quite a distance either way. Price is good for what you are getting, but I would rather pay a bit extra and have all cleaning provided (sheet, towels bathrooms). I would definitely recommend this place to friends and/or family. Owner was always available for questions we had either by text or email.
