Great house and location. Not so great communication.
The house was lovely and had every convenience. Plenty of room for people to gather in different spaces and relax. It would have been great for a multigenerational group. The location was wonderful for morning walk along the beach, even in chilly weather. Overall we had a nice time. The cons: The management company did not respond to my questions before arrival. Check-out was 10am on Sunday. Makes sense for busy summer season but since we were only coming for an off-season weekend I asked about late check out. Didn't get a response. Then at the last minute got an automated message offering late check out for an extra fee. That would have been nice to know ahead of time. Also, the house was not as clean as we would have liked. I did reach the management company and they said they would notify housekeeping, but that didn't help us at all.

Great Location for quick family celebration
We rented the house for an 80th Bday celebration. Location was perfect for everyone traveling and had meaning with past summer visits to Biddeford Pool, Fortunes Rocks and Saco. The house provided plenty of room with a nice big dining table which we were all able to sit around and share memories of the Birthday Wife/Mom/Grandmother. Kitchen was well stocked, ice maker was nice and probably even more important for summer getaways. Grandchildren enjoyed the ping pong and foosball table in the basement. While the communication with Vacasa LLC was easy (more then enough eMails & Text msgs), seems a bit disjoint with them wanting to manage everything thru their platform vs our rental thru VRBO. Makes me question the fees going to both Vacasa & VRBO

Beautiful fall weekend!
We enjoyed everything about this house and the area of Biddeford Pool. The house was beautiful, spacious, family friendly and had everything we could've asked for and then some. The ocean breeze coming in through the windows even in mid November was our favorite part. We walked to both beaches several times and enjoyed riding the provided bikes around the neighborhood. The kitchen was perfect for cooking the big family dinner that we planned. Beds were all comfortable and the basement was a dream for all the kids. Would love to return!

Child/Adult Friendly Home
The property was beautifully landscaped. The house was clean, comfortable, and supplied with all the amenities to make one’s stay stress free and fun. We were a family group of 13. Eight adults and five children under the age of five. Bikes, boogie boards, games, kayaks, ping pong, 56” television, and a weight room station are just some of the perks provided. The kitchen was stocked with multiple electric appliances, pots, pans, dishes, glasses etc.. The Mermaid House was set up to make the guests feel like they were in their own home and whatever was needed at a moments notice was readily available. We had a great time and would gladly rent again.

Ideal Maine vacation
My children had so much fun on our family vacation. We walked to the ocean twice a day. They had so much fun finding all the tiny crabs and shrimp. We cooked some fresh Maine Lobster in the phenomenal kitchen. The most organized rental I have ever been in. The house manual was also so helpful and well thought out. We really enjoyed The Mermaid House and hope to book again in the future.
