    Everything in this house was well stocked and so comfortable. There was everything you might need. The host Laurie was very welcoming and made sure we were taken care of. The house was beautiful and we loved the pool. The only thing I wish is that it had a better beach nearby. The one near the house was rocky and not much for the kids to play on so we had to go 2 miles to Oceanside beach or drive to other beaches.

    We loved staying at this beautiful property for our week long family reunion! The layout and number of bedrooms worked out perfectly for us. The kitchen is probably the most well-equipped kitchen of any VRBO we have stayed in. We all enjoyed the heated pool, especially the kids. There were plenty of pool toys, toys and games for the kids, too. And it was an easy walk to the beach. Laurie is an amazing host, easy to work with and very responsive when we had any questions or issues. We would absolutely stay here again!

    Our group was in town for a 5 day stay in early December and had a wonderful stay at the Mermaid House.Well appointed and stocked, it provided plenty of room for our family of 11, aging from 2 to mid sixties.Bikes came in handy to tool around the town and the pool (heated) and spa were a treat.Laurie was an excellent host, personally greeting us at the home and providing us treats upon our arrival. She was also very quick to respond to any minor issues we may have had, mostly due to the lack of familiarity with the property.We would absolutely book this property again!

    Cannot say enough about our stay at this property. Laurie is an incredible host. She is responsive and very accommodating. The house itself was extremely comfortable for our week with extended family group of 12 which allows you to spread out nicely. They have everything you need from housewares, to pool toys and endless beach equipment which was great for us coming from the east coat. We would definitely stay again at this awesome Oceanside property.

    We were a group of ten, six adults and four kiddos. August 2-9th. The house was even better than expected! The kids loved the pool and hot tub and the grass area on the side yard was used every evening for corn hole tournaments. The bedrooms were well appointed, all with comfortable beds. The master bedroom was very comfortable, we slept well every night listening to the ocean. The kitchen was perfect for some home cooked meals, it was well stocked and there were plenty of wonderful restaurants near by as well.We all enjoyed our stay very much. Many wonderful memories made for our family. We hope to be back next summer! Thank you Laurie!

    Our family had a wonderful time this last week celebrating our son's wedding. The house was perfect for hosting family bbq's, swimming and just hanging together. The pics don't do this house justice as it's very, very spacious. Laurie is an amazing host and we can't thank her enough!

    Words cannot do justice to the splendor of this house and the family fun we had here! We stayed for a week and bonded like never before! The kids loved the warm pool and the grassy yard was fun for games. The inside has lots of areas so everyone has a place to gather.The bedrooms are also so ample that everyone had their own private space and we are a big family! The location is fabulous and Laurie the host was just incredible! We can’t wait to return!

    From the moment you walk in you know your going to enjoy your stay. The house is not only beautiful, but much larger than the pictures show. There are many areas to relax in, visit with others and just get away.The pool area equipped with bar was a great hang out for our family of 8 adults and three children. Bedrooms are large and beds are super comfy in all rooms. Laurie is great to work with and it is obvious she takes great pride in assuring each guest is comfortable. Would definately stay here again

    Can't say enough good things about this house! It truly has everything you would ever need. Beautiful coastal chic decor, bedrooms and space for multiple families. Our teenagers took over the cabana studio and all slept together up in the loft. We enjoyed every outdoor space available including the gorgeous, heated pool and jacuzzi. The garage had bikes, chairs, rafts, games, anything you could need on a beach vacation. We also enjoyed many of the nearby restaurants in So. Oceanside as well as up by the pier. Laurie was awesome in her communication! ITS A 10!!

    This was the perfect house for our family reunion. There was plenty of space and lots to do for our three generations. We loved the pool and hot tub—and what a nice touch that the host made pool toys, board games, and bicycles available to us. The house is gorgeous, clean, and well stocked. Everything exceeded our expectations.
