    Everything was just as lovely as we expected. The photos and descriptions in the app were very accurate. Our hostess,Ceri came to welcome us And give us some ideas of things to do while here. We had a lovely time and were very comfy and cozy here in the cottage.

    The Salty Mermaid is a great place to stay. It’s got everything you need and more. The area is fun to walk and close to beach access points. Bill and Ceri have created a warm and welcoming space. We recommend it and will hopefully visit again.

    My friends and I came for a few days and had a fabulous time! The owners were so welcoming, and the cabin itself is well-stocked and just gorgeous. We spent hours sitting out on the front porch, enjoying the firepit and the view. 10/10 would recommend!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid Cottage! The hosts were great with communication prior to arrival, and during the stay. The cottage is clean and nicely decorated. The deck is a beautiful place to sit and enjoy the ocean views, star gaze at night, BBQ, enjoy a propane fire pit, and eat meals outside. The lawn had games set up for us to play with, which the kids enjoyed. Being able to walk down to the beach in a couple of minutes was great. Me and my husband and kids all loved it, and hope to return!

    This place was absolutely perfect. It was spotless, warm, and inviting. I immediately felt like i was home. The patio has a covered and uncovered section, making it always usable. The beach was a shirt walk away, and i enjoyed my morning coffee there almost daily
