The house was clean. The kitchen had everything I needed, and I cooked everyday. The basement was very comfortable, games for everyone. The walk to the beach was fun, the narrow road was just like going for a walk in the woods. The private beach was great and worth the 100 steps. The home looks just like the photos. Had a great time.

We stayed at the Mermaid house and had a wonderful time! There were 9 of us and everyone had their own space and bed! The location is perfect- woodsy with beach in walking distance! The house was well stocked with all that you would need-towels,sheets, etc. There was even hand soap and dish soap to get you started in case you forgot to bring some. There is no Wifi. And we did not have much cell service either. That’s just something people should take note of. For me, I LOVED it because my kids played board games and played outside and were forced to not have any screen time. Also, we never figured out the TV. Again, I loved it, the rest of the family, not so much. The basement can be used as a totally separate space for a two family trip. It has its own kitchen space and eating area as well as living space and bedrooms. The house is decorated very tastefully as well! The neighbors were delightful and very kind to us! I truly enjoyed our time and we look forward to coming back in the future! Thank you so much!!!

We liked that the 9 of us could all have a bed. Plenty of room for all of us. HOwever, this house needs some attention. The deck was unusable , it had so many leaves and sticks on it. The gas grill was absolutely filthy! You could not open the french doors in the basement because of the pile of leaves up against it. There was no one to contact about it's condition. The kitchen is very lacking. There was no dish soap to wash dishes with. The cutting board was broken in half. There were no skillets, except for a large cast iron skillet and a little one. So unorganized, you had to hunt all over to find things , if they had them. We did enjoy the location of the house. Close to several places to go. Air conditioner worked very well. Some of the beds need new mattresses. Downstairs is perfect for kids to sleep and hang out. Someone needs to inventory the kitchen. Add some big bowls and a set of pot and pans and new mattresses.
