    Mermaid manor was perfect for us
    Easy check in. Good communication, also allowed for a little early of a check-in. Cottage was cute and clean. Loved all the little extra touches including snacks for us and treats for the dogs. If you forgot to bring something, chances are it was there. Laundry on site. Close enough to town to walk. The only possible downside is we have a 3/4 ton diesel truck and the parking spot for us would have been really tight if there had been other people staying at the adjoining properties. There was not anyone else staying so it was not an issue. We would 10/10 stay at mermaid manor again!

    Brief getaway
    I really enjoyed the Mermaid Manor location. It was exactly as described, warm and cozy. I liked having the Kuerig and small kitchen. One thing I was disappointed about, though, is that the yard was not fenced all the way around, so I wasn't able to let my dog out without watching him. Otherwise, it was great!

    Perfect location
    My family visited last minute for a very quick getaway and not only was the location perfect for walking into town, but the apartment exceeded my expectations. Such a cute small space packed a big punch! No details were left out and Raeanna provided everything we needed, even snacks and a coffee. Will definitely return!

    I loved this apartment - it was cozy and comfortable and the management left me such a thoughtful welcome gift of sweet treats! I walked the neighborhood and visited the waterfront. I spent a lot of time on the porch reading and it was so relaxing and felt homey.
