Costa Mesa, California
Please let me know if you have any problems with booking. This is a Condominium and not an Apartment.
If you like to stroll, hike, run, bike or swim in the ocean, this condo is close to the beach, parks, running and bike trails. Just about 1-1/2 miles to the beach, you’ll be steps away from Fairview Park and Talbert Nature Preserve in Costa Mesa. You’ll be 5 miles from Huntington Beach Pier; 7 miles from Balboa Island; 14 miles from the art colony of Laguna Beach, and only 13 miles from Disneyland. So, what are you waiting for !!
The “Mermaid Lounge” has a kitchen, living/dining area, two bedrooms (plus loft), a full bath (Jack and Jill) and a half bath downstairs. With tile throughout, it’s okay if you bring in a little beach sand. Upstairs there’s carpeting in the loft next to the walk-in closet and a ¾ bath. According to VRBO, the average hotel room is 325 sq. ft. Here you can bring your groceries and spread out in about 1,300 sq. ft. Just right for a maximum of 6 guests. Master bedroom has a king size bed, loft has a queen size, and the “surf room” has a daybed and twin bed. Add a Pak n Play for little ones at no charge. The kitchen provides what you need for preparing meals with mostly new appliances; use spices, cooking oil, coffee, or anything you can find there. The washer and dryer are just around the corner in the hallway where you'll find all the laundry supplies you will need.
Clean, uncluttered and comfortable, you can unwind here or scurry off to your choice of Southern California attractions. You may even want to sign up for sailing lessons at the Orange Coast College School of Sailing and Seamanship whether you are just starting or have sailed before. You don’t have to leave Newport Bay to enjoy a fabulous day on the water. Rent a Duffy boat, order food and beverages or bring your own!
Head through Fairview Park and down the hill to pick up the Santa Ana River Bicycle Trail. Turn left and you’re at the beach in about 2.5 miles. Or, turn right and bike the rest of the 30-mile trail to Riverside County.
Oh, and if you play the piano …bring your music because we have one here!
Since the beginning of this adventure, all guests are asked to sign a one-page Rental Agreement and make a brief phone call to say "hello" and meet the owner, Kathleen, very briefly. You will be staying in my home! Thank you!
We enjoyed everything about this place. It was even decorated with a small Christmas tree. Easy access to bike paths and short rides to nearby beach towns.
My daughter, three grandchildren, a fiancée and great granddaughter stayed in the condo over Thanksgiving, and it was as close to being at home as you could get away from home. It had everything they needed to have a great holiday. It was also kid-friendly, and everyone enjoyed their stay. Kathleen was very accommodating in making the home available when they arrived. Would highly recommend it for anyone traveling to the area.
The Mermaid Lounge truly met all of our needs. It was very clean and accommodating. The property owner was excellent in communication and hospitality. Highly recommend!
Loved the facility & hospitality from the owner!
Wonderful place, the owner is amazing.
Mermaid Lounge has the perfect location to get just about anywhere quickly including the beach.
Loved our stay?
Overall a great time and the owners could not have been more accommodating.
This was a great place for us to celebrate Thanksgiving! Everything was perfect
Our family of 6 adults really enjoyed our stay here. It was very clean and comfortable. Kitchen had what we needed to fix meals. It is close to the beach and a reasonably short drive to Disneyland. There is a river trail for walking close by. The neighborhood was very quiet. It was perfect for our needs.
Where to start! Arrived after midnight and key was in designated location. Home is well laid out and everything you need is there. Extra linens, towels ... We used this as a central location for wedding celebrations around LA, as well as going towards San Diego. Locale beaches/tide pools/whale watching are great. Kathleen was wonderful and when we return to So Cal we will seek this excellent rental out!
Mermaid Lounge is comfortable, quiet and close to the beach!! We loved our stay there!!!
This property was clean and perfect for the four of us. It has three bathrooms-2 have showers, which is great. The owner made the check-in process very easy and was very quick to respond to messages. The beach pass was a great treat. It is centrally located to Disneyland and Universal Studios as well as the beach. Highly recommend this property.
My daughter and her family were moving back to the states and Newport Beach and we all needed a fully furnished and stocked place to land for 9 nights while getting their home ready. This was the perfect spot. We mixed in fun on Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach and Disneyland . The shelves of kids books, beach toys and close neighborhood park plus state park trails for morning runs made this a very comfortable and easy place for my crew. The beds were very comfortable. Our host was super responsive and very attentive to all our needs and any questions. There are so many wonderful places to eat close by - Moongoat coffee, Fermentation Farm and Avila’s.
We arrived at the property around 8 pm due to a late flight. Kathleen met us at the house and made sure we got settled in. While our daughter and 3 grandkids spent time at Knottsberry Farm and 6 Flags, my husband and I spent time at the beach. The house is conveniently located minutes from Hunnington and Newport Beach. The beach pass provided by Kathleen came in very handy at Hunnington Beach. The house is well equipped with beach chairs, towels, umbrella and beach toys that the kids enjoyed. The house is cozy and comfortable. Kathleen was a perfect host making sure we had what we needed to make our stay memorable. We would definitely stay here again.
It is the absolute perfect location and price for any family trip to California. It has easy access to the beach and the major freeways. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. Kathleen is the most wonderful hostess you could ever ask for. She genuinely cares about your vacation and does everything she can to make it perfect and memorable. The house is loaded with everything you need for a beach trip, and it couldn't be more spotless and yet homey at the same time. Loved every minute of it!!
Great
As advertised
And really nice manager
What a perfect place to stay. Wonderfully helpful host made the check in a breeze. The location is key with nature trails right there. The beach access was a gift. Close to Disney and the beaches. We plan to come back. Thanks so much.
