San Francisco East Bay Hilltop Compound with 360 views close to everything

This place is one in a billion. We stayed for our wedding and will be coming back for an anniversary. Stunning, magical, and perfect are just a few of the words that barely begin to describe how much we loved this stay.

Rarely do actual visits exceed the expectations formed from the ads on the Internet. The Mermaid House did. What a beautiful place! The views were fantastic. The 100-year-old house was solid and functioned perfectly. A little East Bay inland oasis. One could easily walk to the wonderful Village Market (also well over 60 years old.)

Whether you are looking for beautiful surroundings, a gorgeous view, or a one of a kind experience you will find it here. The cottage is a nonpareil both for its location and charm, where you can at once feel as though you are alone in the world, yet also in the middle of everything the Bay Area has to offer, from the wine country foothills to the cliff side beaches of Half Moon Bay, to the Golden Gate Bridge at sunset every evening. The best of everything!

Magical place to stay. Wish there was a heads up about issues for toddlers (no plastic cups or lock on balcony door) and window coverings. But all in all, very comfortable.

As others have commented, the grounds and views of this property are truly stunning. And it is so quiet up on this hill! The cottage itself is cute, quirky and fun, with the main bedroom being the highlight as it affords incredible views and a truly resplendent bed that was perhaps the most comfortable we've ever slept in. Hosts are great and the neighborhood was also a pleasant surprise, with a nice market and many restaurants just a short drive away. Hope to return!

Quirky, cute, BRIGHT, cozy, airy, private, unique little abode perched atop upper rockridge. The house is small so be ready for comfortably confined spaces in the kitchen and dining room, but the master bedroom is what it is all about. Bed is extraordinary and the city lights at night and the sun in the morning make for inclusive feel to the city around even though you are existing in perfect silence up on the hill. We absolutely loved it! Bradley was quick with responses via text which is appreciated and very kind. Thank you for having us.

The Mermaid Cabin at 67 Norman Lane is a truly unique property, with priceless views, and a wonderful combination of modern amenities and rustic vibes to help you focus on the present. The views of the bay and San Francisco, and the Bay Bridge are great. The hosts communicate well and are friendly and accommodating. We'll be back!

Beautiful cottage, well appointed. Cannot beat the view or outdoor space. Everything was very comfortable and clean and the hosts were amazing and very communicative. 10/10
