Mermaid Manor, more charming than ever! Dog friendly, short walk to the bay!

We were in a bit of a bind to find a good spot for us and our pups and boy were we pleasantly surprised and pleased with the Mermaid Manor! An incredible location, perfect set up for the dogs, and we were able to take advantage of all it had to offer.

Cute house right next to the beach. Super convenient!

Really meant to write this review immediately after our stay but lost track of time. Mermaid Manor was an amazing place to stay for a multi generational family vacation. We stayed for a week back in early August. The house was the perfect size for our family of 4 and the in laws. 6 total people and a dog. Tina was an amazing host. Answering every question that we had. Everything she said about the house was spot on. She also told us that the beach was not really suitable for swimming. Not the best for beach activities but had amazing sunsets. We took a quick trip to Town Bank to enjoy the beach. The house had everything we needed and was very clean. Was nice to have the washer and dryer available and the grill was a nice touch for meals. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. Friendly folks up and down the street.. This property was better than other properties that we have stayed at in the Cape May area. Would definitely recommend this house for a fun and relaxing trip away from home. Would definitely go back.

The house itself was extremely old and the furniture and bedding were extremely uncomfortable. The floors were dirty from arrival, and there were barely any dishes to eat on. It was not listed on Vrbo to bring linens or bath towels while we had to supply ourselves on the rental (It’s still NOT listed). The host let us use only one set of sheets in the locked closet. In the other beds, we had to lay blankets down. Also, no bath towels for bathing so we had to purchase bath towels ourselves. The air conditioning unit would freeze up at 75 degrees which was mentioned to us that was considered “normal.” The temperature of the house was 78-79 degrees most of the day during a hot week. The bay beach was dirty and filled with horseshoe crabs so we couldn’t even enjoy laying out, we decided to drive 20 minutes to pay for beach passes for Cape May Points beach every day. The upkeep of the outside of the home, the grass, bushes, etc. was unkept and looked like it wasn't done for weeks. Overall, a very disappointing stay.

The property was very clean upon arrival! Tina was extremely helpful and answered all of my questions about the property and local recommendations. The neighbors were so friendly and offered suggestions for the beach and restaurants. Our dog and children loved waking to the bay beach in the evenings. We had a great stay overall!

We enjoyed our stay. We were close to the bay so the dog was on the beach every morning and every evening. The house is clean and comfortable

The property was good for us and located in a great location. Close to everything. Tina was very easily accessible and communication was great. The home was very cozy for us. The only thing was we brought our little dog and went to take him to the beach on the bay near the home,the listing says dogs are allowed. They are only allowed during off-season and during season they can go after 4 PM. Still in all very memorable and lovely trip. I would definitely go back again.

The house was so perfect for our needs! The place was clean, amenities were excellent and the location was perfect!

We injured our self always love the New Jersey beaches and the boardwalks. TV should be updated at the mermaid Manor other than that it's a decent little cottage quiet neighborhood clean house

The house was nice. It was clean and the owner was friendly and responsive when needed. There was a problem with ants, but the owner promptly handled it. The property was advertised as fully fenced and it wasn’t, which was a disappointment because we had a small dog and hoped it could run freely in the yard. The kitchen could have benefited from a few more utensils and better tableware. The biggest issue was the lack of a fully fenced in yard. Other than that, the property provided a comfortable stay.
