The Mermaid house is in a prime location and is perfect for a small family or 4 adults. The amenities are somewhat dated but the house is generally clean and has 50’s charm. Communication with the property management was disappointing. The garbage bins were full upon our arrival and we had to stack our garbage in the kitchen to keep away from critters. We called property management and were told that local management was notified but no steps were taken. There were also several piles of dog feces in the front yard when we arrived that had clearly been there for a while. It would have been nice if these had been picked up before new guests arrive. All in all we enjoyed our stay and the house was perfect for what we needed.
We never made it out because my wife was unexpectedly admitted to the ER. I reached out to Vacasa right after the incident (about 4 days to check in time) to see if I could get a credit for a future week. They told me to talk to Whimstay as I booked it through them. Whimstay responded and said they couldn't do anything because it was Vacasa's call. Whimstay reached out twice to Vacasa to see if they could do anything. Vacasa told Whimstay both times that they were "unable" to accommodate a credit for a future stay and I would be charged the full amount. I then called Vacasa directly and again they said they were "unable" to do it. My airline had a no cancellation policy and they gave me a full refund. Vacasa is not "unable" to help out, they were simply unwilling. I was really disappointed in the way this was handled. We would have loved to be there rather than in the hospital and are planning on getting there in the near future - but not with Vacasa.
Location is truly amazing with quick access to the beach, restaurants, and park. The trade off is that it’s a old house with some needed repairs/updates.
200 feet from the beach
We always love our visits to the Mermaid House but wish Vacasa had prepped it better for our stay.
This house is really charming, cozy, comfortable and has everything you could need.
