Stayed Apr 25, 2023I loved this property and it was a perfect relaxing spot. I slept well and enjoyed the quiet. I highly recommend this place. If you stay here and have some mobility issues this may not be the best option. There are steep stairs and the bathtub has a higher ledge. Otherwise a beautiful location and plenty of places to walk for a great view. Please take advantage of Carol's Cab as well.

Stayed Jun 24, 2022The lady is very unfriendly from the moment trying to get in the door. Paper thin wall that you can hear the people upstairs snore and fart. Very steep steps to get in and out of the place. The hot water won’t fill the tub so forget that too. Don’t waste your money

Stayed Feb 12, 2026The view was absolutely spectacular from the mermaid lair!! the Hawaiian themed bathroom was probably my favorite thing about this place! small kitchen with no oven or stove top was unexpected but nothing that couldn’t be adjusted to. Would definitely stay here again, location can’t be beat!

Stayed Aug 9, 2025It was indeed an awesome view. The hosts are really friendly. It has a separate entrance which is nice. Walking distance to downtown if you don't have a car, but if you do there is a place to park. It is built on a hill in front of the ocean, and requires walking down a flight of stairs each time you come and go. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck just taking in the scenery and sounds.

Stayed Jul 11, 2025Perfect room, great view, comfy bed. It is down a full flight of stairs. A parking space is provided. Also coffee maker in room, microwave and fridge. Nice TV. Lots of closet space. The tub is a claw foot high sided tub. If you are mobility impaired, it could be difficult. I had a great 5 days here at the Mermaid Lair.

Stayed May 14, 2025Perfect for someone visiting but I prefer a place with a kitchen. Claw tub with shower is not my thing, but it works with a lot of hot water.
