In the evenings, slide open the pocket doors and let the trade winds carry the sound of waves through the home.

Everything was as advertised and more. It was the perfect place for our family of 12 with 3 generations and grandkids under age of 5. The beach was perfect for them, they loved the pool, and so many toys to keep them occupied. Views were amazing. We just needed more time to enjoy it all!

We had a pleasant stay here. The ocean is gentle (thanks to the shallow, rocky tide pools that break up the waves). In-room air conditioning worked well, and the lanai (with beautiful views) cooled the main section of the house with ocean breezes. The house is huge, but the Internet worked well everywhere. We had plenty of space, and the property/neighborhood rules were not onerous. My only complaint is that the water pressure to the showers could be better -- but otherwise, the house was perfect. The property managers were also very helpful when contacted.

This is a wonderful property with a great Hawaii vibe! It’s close to downtown with beautiful ocean views and the sound of crashing wave always present. Mermaid cove provides excellent snorkeling/ swimming especially for the kids in our group. The house was fully equipped. The kitchen was especially well stocked. Our host was very responsive and helpful. I go back in a flash

Unfortunately the day before we arrived I reviewed a message that the pool heater was not working. That was one of our main reasons for renting this house. We weren’t sure how our granddaughter was going to like the ocean so having the pool warm for her was a must.

Mermaid Cove

We traveled to Mermaid Cove with our 3 kids, and 5 grandkids to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary. The house was everything we could have imagined and more - the perfect setting for a fantastic 10 days. Incredibly well equipped, and located right on the water - we spent happy days on the beach or in the pool.

As the person before us wrote..."Unfortunately the day before we arrived I received a message that the pool/hot tub heater was not working. That was one of our main reasons for renting this house."... Same for us. We were very disappointed as we thought that it had been fixed per that January review (we had booked in Dec before that review so we were stuck and hopeful it was fixed for us). It was broken our entire week visit - they were waiting on a part to arrive and it took longer than they estimated. I will tell you the ocean is warmer than their unheated pool so we were not able to use it at all - too cold. The house was nice and a nice location being on the beach. The beach view from the house was great. If you want a functioning pool/hot tub, I'm not sure I would trust this house for a while.

The house sits on an amazing small private beach that has a protected reef. The kids enjoyed snorkeling all day and as parents we really didn’t have to worry about waves, etc. The house has plenty of rooms and space for a large family. Also, the house has more the of small niceties such as utensils, spices, plates, etc… than numerous other vacation rentals we have stayed at.

We enjoyed coffee on the balcony watching the waves crash, fish as well as a sea turtle in the tide pool, humpback wales breaching and cocktails with the sunset at night. There was plenty of space for our family of 11. The house was well stocked and had everything we needed. Thank you for a wonderful vacation! 🌺
