Mermaid Cottage By The Sea

Best VRBO we have ever stayed in. Absolutely stunning and equally accommodating. 5 stars.

Mermaid Cottage by the Sea was an absolute gem! The location is perfect, just a short walk to the beach and close to downtown San Clemente, yet tucked away in a quiet, charming neighborhood. The cottage itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and felt warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived.The space was well laid out and very comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing but also action driven stay. The kitchen was well equipped, and the extra touches like beach gear made everything so easy and enjoyable.This place truly felt like a home you wish would be yours. During our stay, we met so many amazing people in San Clemente, Dana Point, and Laguna Beach, and we completely got sucked into the incredible vibe San Clemente brings. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful, relaxing escape or a vacation packed with action, there is so much to do and explore. Communication with the host was smooth, and everything exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Mermaid Cottage to anyone looking for a coastal getaway you won’t forget.

This was the perfect house for my family of 7- plenty of room and a gorgeous back yard. The BBQ worked perfectly and the neighborhood is wonderful.

This property is fantastic! Clean, comfortable and beautiful. Lots of little extras provided to make your stay easier. Backyard great for kids to play. Short walk to the beach in a nice neighborhood. Good restaurants nearby. Would absolutely stay again!

Good

The Beach house is very nice with lots of things to do. We enjoyed the close walk to the wonderful Beach. All the needed equipment for beach was included for our group of 8. The only down side was unfortunately the whole week the neighbor was having construction work from 8AM to 5PM next door and the sound of masonry saw was very loud all day. Some of us had to be on-line during couple of days and the loud sound made it hard to relax and enjoy.

Our family enjoyed staying here immensely! Home was clean, well stocked and comfortable!

The house was beautiful in an excellent residential neighborhood. However if anyone has mobility issues, the stairs from the street to the beach are quite steep and may pose an issue.

The location is amazing! Short walk to the beach. You will need to walk down a VERY steep stairway followed by a sand trail that is slippery. I wouldn’t recommended this location of walking to the beach with young children, older people, or out of shape people. The neighborhood is beautiful! Each house is so unique. With this rental being in a neighborhood… the neighbors are not friendly at all and do not like that there is a VRBO near them so they were not nice. There is VERY LITTLE AND TIGHT parking. We have and truck and suburban and were unable to park them both in the driveway and there was not any available parking when my husband arrived. He parked halfway on the driveway and halfway on the walking path to the house to unload our luggage. The neighbors instantly took photos of his parking and sent to the owner of the house. I would not recommend bringing full size vehicles to this property. The house was very clean and well stocked. I would recommended the owners purchasing new cookware.The teffelon pans were beat up! To the point of us not wanting to use them. Puzzles had MANY missing pieces. The bbq had issues when we got there but property manager was able to get fixed. Overall a great house for large family. But needs some TLC. We will most likely NOT be staying here again because of the vibes the neighbors gave us. They seemed very annoyed and grumpy that we were there. This was our 2nd time staying here. Last time was a better experience.
