Mermaid manor deserves it’s 5 star rating

I would give it even more than 5 stars if I could. Beautifully appointed and thoughtfully stocked. Immaculate. The hosts left us bottled water in the fridge and chocolates and coffee in the kitchen. So welcome after a long drive. The pool was great and the games in the garage kept the teenagers happy. So nice to have baby gates and dishes supplied. It made for an easy week with our 3 year old. Rooms are nice and spacious and plenty of room for the 7 of us covering 3 generations. Very highly recommend!

WOW!!

They literally thought of everything. The decor was perfect, it was SO CLEAN. There were things to do in the house like games/ping pong/darts and TV's all over. The screened in porch made the pool experience bug-free which was awesome. I loved the lounge chairs that were in the pool. The furniture in the patio area and the living areas was clean and comfortable. The beds were very comfortable and their decor was just gorgeous. The showers/tubs had great water temperature and pressure. The beach was beautiful and within walking distance. It wasn't crowded the entire time we were there. The kitchen had everything we needed to make simple meals. I can't say enough about this place. I'd give it 6 stars if I could. I hardly wanted to leave the house because it was so comfortable and relaxing. Thank you so much for this lovely week of memories.

Excellent Family Destination

We stayed in this home for our bi-annual family vacation- 7 adults, and a 2 and 1 year old. There was an abundance of space for everyone and the amenities were fantastic, especially for the littles. The high chair, baby gates, and baby dishes were especially helpful.The home was very clean, offered plenty of towels and dishes, and the location was quiet and convenient, especially so close to the ocean.Our favorite amenity was the pool! We created many happy memories playing or lounging in the pool.The only issue was on check-in. We arrived around 2:00am and had issues using the keypad to unlock the door. It finally opened, thankfully, and the overseers did respond eventually, but since it was the middle of the night it could have played out differently had the door not opened after our many attempts. Other than that, though, we have no complaints! We loved this home!!

Beautiful home with heated pool!

Our family with four adult children, spouse, girlfriend and one grandchild, thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful like-new home. There was space for everyone to have a private room and bath, multiple living areas, including a nice outdoor sitting area with TV near the heated pool. We took just a short walk to the beach for fun in the sand and then we could come back and enjoy sitting by the pool while fixing dinner on the Blackstone grill. Appreciated having amenities for our one-year-old grandson, crib and highchair and baby gates as well as kitchen ware for baby. Help to make the long distance trip a lot easier without having to haul things for the baby. Property manager very responsive to questions and needs. Not far from town and shopping and quiet beach area. Highly recommend!

Couldn't be better

Other than the weather (which was mostly dreary) our multi generational family had an outstanding stay at this property. It was beautifully laid out for several family units to have both privacy and togetherness, plenty of open space for the toddlers to run around, a great game area to keep them distracted (and us busy) and an enclosed pool area which made it possible to both enjoy the water and keep an eye on kids. Kitchen was more than fully equipped. Host was easily accessible and accommodated our special requests (upping the pool temp, flexibility in departure). We would for sure return. All in all an outstanding experience. Thanks.

Absolutely perfect

Everything was as advertised and the property manager was in constant communication regarding any issues (we didn't have any, but they texted daily anyway). We will definitely come back again. Highly recommend this for families. We were a family of 11 (9 adults and 2 teenage girls) and there was tons of space for everyone to be together and have their own quiet space.

Perfect Family Friendly Home

Our family had a great visit! The home was very well appointed. I so appreciated having access to so many amenities and appliances to make our stay even more comfortable. We had plenty of space for our family of six and had our in-laws (2 adults, 13yo, 10yo) stay a few days with us as well and everyone had plenty of room. Close walk to the beach and warm pool made for some tired kiddos in the evenings. Would highly recommend!

Wonderful family vacation

Our vacation at Mermaid Manor was wonderful. We had four generations of our family on this vacation. Great grandpa wanted to take quiet naps and our 2 year old great grand daughter wanted to stay in the pool all day. The layout of the house allowed for everyone to have their own space- inside and out. The house has EVERYTHING you can think of needing while on vacation. We had 4 children with us (4 months, 23 months, 4yo and 7yo). The stairs have very nice baby gates provided (built in). The kitchen was stocked with every utensil you would need for any type of food preparation. The decor was beautiful. We've rented beach houses before and they were just like any other house. With Mermaid Manor you knew you were at the beach! Every bedroom had a theme - starfish, turtle, seahorse....and a bathroom to match. There were plenty of towels/linens/pool towels and a very nice, well stocked laundry room to wash clothes as needed. This is always a plus with kids! We enjoyed being such a short walk from a very private, quiet beach. It was nice to be able to relax without a crowd like other beaches. The host even provides a wagon and beach chairs. The garage has a ping pong and foosball table. Unfortunately, it was too hot to be in the garage- even at night. The house is close to everything - a public pier to walk out on or do some fishing, shopping and a variety of tours and restaurants. Honestly, we could not have picked a better place than Mermaid Manor with access to activities.
