Beautiful home that provided a quiet getaway for my family and I. Close enough to beaches and downtown but also provides privacy and silence when needed. Overall the home was fantastic. I would highly recommend.
Our two young granddaughters absolutely loved the mermaid themed home. We really enjoyed the large comfy couch in the living room. Also enjoyed our nightly visit to the fire pit for s’mores in the private and lovely back yard. Kitchen was well equipped and appreciated the designated bar area and wine fridge area. We were lucky to have nice weather to eat dinners on the lovely porch that included a nice bbq unit, and a kids picnic table. The bathroom remodels are impressive. Kitchen area seating was also ample in terms of seating a larger group. Appreciated having a washer and dryer available. And of course the clean and private hot tub was used each night. The wireless internet service was great. This was the perfect home to host our adult children and grandchildren. We have a fabulous trip. Thank you for giving us this opportunity. Very much appreciate the hard work to renovate this historic home and make it available for us to enjoy.
Cool home, great location.
If you like the combination of relax, beach walks, short drives to the forest, and fantastic shared dinners this is your place. The town is right there, the beach even closer and if the weather colaborates, hikes- the length you wish- are easy from the house. It is cozy and carwfully maintained. We keep coming back, and plan to return soon. Don't hesitate and book it!
We had a fun week here. Location was perfect for us. Easy to walk down to the beach and the bike path along the coast was right there. Little market next door was convenient to grab drinking water. A bit noisy early in the morning as it’s right along Highway One but otherwise quiet.
We had a fabulous weekend getaway at Mermaid Manor! The house is perfect! We enjoyed a beautiful day at the nearby beach within walking distance and then had a wonderful evening with a long soak in the hottub and sitting fireside by the outdoor fire pit. The winery up the road is a perfect picnic dpot with a gorgeous ocean view. The house has all.the amenities you need for a relaxing vacation.
