Mermaid Cove was perfect! Well appointed. This place actually had every thing we needed to host a small family graduation dinner - from platters to bbq tools to matching place settings and glassware. Can't wait to come back.

This house has amazing views and is in a very nice neighborhood with walking/biking paths. Close to everything, restaurants, bars, grocery stores & beaches. You do have to drive to the beaches because the Mad River separates the beach from the home. The decor is fun and bright! If you love mermaids like me, this is a perfectly mermaid themed house! The Christmas Tree and decor was a great touch. Very well stocked kitchen! The best I have ever experienced & very clean. I didn’t feel I had to wash everything before using, kudos to the housekeepers! Beds were very comfortable and plenty of towels, even for the hot tub, which was nice to have after a long walk on the beach. Loved our stay at Mermaid Cove!!!

What an amazing home, very comfortable, welcoming and perfect for a family with kids. The bedrooms were all very comfortable and had great beds. The living room and kitchen were well stocked and a great place to relax and unwind with beautiful ocean views. The highlight for my kids was the hot tub, they loved it. If you love mermaids or even if you don't this house is gorgeously furnished and very unique. I highly recommend this home for a family with kids, we will certainly rent it again when we come back to Eureka.

Amazing getaway

Beautiful house with strong commitment to mermaid theme! Great view of ocean. There is river access, which we did not use.Not direct beach access, but we could def hear the waves. (If you want to actually walk in the ocean, it was just a few miles to the beach) Sitting by the fire table, listening to the ocean.....priceless. Hot tub was amazing. House was well stocked, beautiful and comfy.Def recommend!

We brought the extended family for a visit with our son at Humboldt. The property was exactly as described, well maintained, clean, well stocked, and comfortable. We all loved the mermaid decor everywhere. We appreciated all the little extras provided that made the stay really special. It is clear that someone lovingly curated every detail of Mermaid Cove. The space perfectly fit our group, with a separate bathroom for each bedroom. We are looking forward to booking here again.
