Everything about this cottage was perfect, wish it was mine! The location was great for everything we were doing, especially the walk to the beach and close enough to bigger beaches. I definitely want to make it a tradition. The fenced in porch was perfect for having our little dog and of course the fenced in backyard for him.We took many pictures of the cute decor . We loved seeing the deer in the yard. I even got some ideas for what I'm going to do with my kitchen. We loved this so much, what a wonderful stay. The cottage itself was just as much a part of our vacation as the Strawberry festival, concerts and beaches! Thank you for sharing this cottage!

Adorable Cottage in a quiet deer-filled neighborhood

We had a delightful stay in this charming cottage. The amenities were everything we needed and more. The neighborhood was quiet and serene with deer just strolling around. The beach is a bit of a walk for this old lady, but I managed! The location to local area sites to see was very convenient and The owner was very responsive to our reservation requests and you can truly tell she takes pride in her home. Highly recommend for a nice, relaxing stay!

So cute

The property is exactly as shown online. It's a little out of the way but the beach is a 2 minute drive or 10 minutes walk. There are deer and peacefulness. The property has all you need and a few good places to eat nearby. Including Kemah.

Quaint

The mermaid inn is a quaint little cottage and decorated cute as a bugs ear. We really didn’t spend much time in the cottage as we were in the area for a friend’s birthday but it was just perfect for our needs. Only one issue with shower and the host would have looked at it if notified sooner but like I said we really weren’t there that much.
