Awesome Little Beach House

Very cute little beach stay. 4 minutes from the beach, an amazing life cream shop, restaurants. There’s a CrossFit gym one mile away, a surf shop nearby. Super convenient and lots of great beach supplies on property. Great communication with the property manager.

Amazing family spring break trip

Mermaids Cove was perfect for our family of three. The property was as-advertised and was beautifully decorated and cozy. Sabrina sent us all the information we needed to access the property, and she even checked in during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. Our son loved all the beach toys provided in the shed, and the beach was only a block or two away from the property. This was a much-needed relaxing week for us, and we would definitely recommend Mermaids Cove.

What a delightful, tastefully decorated, conveniently located property! The website pictures accurately depict the rooms and outside area. Several delicious restaurants and the public beach are within walking distance. I like that the property supplied some toiletries (hand soap, paper towel, etc) so we didn't have to rush right away to buy toilet paper! The washer and dryer came in very handy. Responsive property manager. It is a duplex so you might/will see your neighbors as you share the yard. All in all, an excellent property!

IRB Gem

This little place had everything we needed and more. Well appointed home was just right for our family of four. Also included some of the extras that made our IRB visit a bit more special. Four bikes, coolers, wagons, chairs and umbrellas… a putting green to boot. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Nice

The property is as described and exactly what you see in the pictures. Host provided everything you need for the beach. My only concern was host asked us to do whites upon departing but did not want us to take off white sheets. Seemed a little odd, as if the same sheets would be used again for the next guest. Other than that this is a great spot in a great location.

Great location - 1.5 blocks to 15th St beach access. Many restaurants within walking/biking distance. The unit is nicely decorated and has everything you need - even had Glad Wrap in the kitchen drawer and sunscreen in the linen closet! The courtyard was perfect for morning breakfasts and the front bench offers a nice breezy place to read in the shade. The shed holds everything you need - 4 bikes, several wagons, and plenty of beach chairs. Laundry was very convenient as well. I highly recommend this place and plan to return again.

Wonderful!

This property was great! Just what we needed. Nice neighborhood, really cute place, the beds are comfortable. Plenty of room for the 4 of us. 2 Adults 2 Kids. Yummy restaurants within walking distance. Short walk to the beach. The only thing to note, is there is no crosswalk on the main road to get to the beach, and that can be a little tricky at times trying to cross with kids. The beach was beautiful, and not very crowded. We would stay here again.
