Excellent beach front location, amazing caretaker, fully euiped and comfortable space and cooperative owner. We had a great time!Note: Since it was in the house rules, we had to spend several valuable hours of our stay to do the bedsheet & towels laundry and clean the house before leaving the place!

Fantastic location right on the beach. Spacious cottage and very comfortable for our group of 4 friends. Needs a deep clean. We removed many spider carcasses from the walls. Baseboard dusty and dirty. Cleaning expectations before leaving were unrealistic.

Pelee Island - Mermaid on Lorain

Another great Trip to Pelee Island at Mermaid on Lorain. This is our third stay and it was amazing. The place was spotless when we arrived for check in. The location on the Island is amazing with some of the best sandy beach front on the Island. The house is very nice and had a lot of the essentials. We look forward to going back next year!
