Mermaid's and Mutts Retreat

Welcome to our "Mermaid's and Mutts Retreat" - Pet and Child friendly!

Our lovely little Bungalow was built in 1923 and has been upgraded with all the modern conveniences needed to enjoy a wonderful family beach vacation.

We are nestled directly on the beach of the Chesapeake Bay. We have fantastic views of the beach from the decks and the upstairs. We are beach front and your backyard is the beautiful sandy beaches of the Chesapeake Bay.

Mermaid's has central heat and air. We have a dual zone system for both upstairs and down. There are 3 bedrooms; two of which are upstairs - one has a queen-size bed and a twin bed with a locking door, and the other also has a queen and a twin with a full curtain for privacy. The downstairs bedroom features one queen bed.

We have a 65" Smart TV for you to stream your own entertainment services. We also have high speed WiFi for all your devices.

We have a dining area, with a dining table and 6 chairs.

We have two full bathrooms - upstairs has a standup shower and the main bathroom downstairs has a full tub/shower combination.

The full size kitchen features a gas stove. We also have a full size washer/dryer.

We are pet friendly with a pet fee. We do have Off-Street parking right in front of the home that can handle up to 3 larger vehicles, or 4 smaller ones.

Even with a thorough modernization the property is a historical home that is now over 108 years old. It has some eccentricities that reflect building standards and designs from the turn of the last century that lends to its charm as an older beach cottage. But even so, we hope that you will love our older and charming home.

This is a family enterprise and as such we are happy to open our home to families and smaller groups that are traveling or seeking to enjoy our beautiful beaches. No parties are allowed or tolerated. We do have neighbors close by and everyone is entitled (by law) to the "quiet enjoyment" of their homes - including you as our guest. Please respect your neighbors. Any parties will be immediately shut down and evicted with the full forfeiture of all monies paid as well as the security deposit.
