We were in town for our son's USCG boot camp graduation. This house was perfect for the long weekend - quiet area, clean house, close to base but far enough for relaxation, literally steps away from the beach and 15 minutes or less to every activity we wanted to do. The back screened in porch was our favorite place to eat and hang out. The host was exceptional in having everything ready for us and communicating with us. The towels and linens were very good and were provided so that was huge for us since we traveled so far and had limited time.

We had a wonderful stay at the Mermaid Cottage. The cottage was very clean and everything you need is provided. The host Kimberly is exceptional.Our first day was pretty rainy, but we did manage a walk to the beach during a misty break. It's very close. Then went for a wonderful dinner at the Lobster House (highly recommend).Day 2 we went on a Whale Watch. Didn't see any whales, but did see ALOT of dolphins and an osprey with a fish, so still a lot of fun.

We enjoyed our stay in the beautiful Mermaid Cottage. Beds were comfortable; house was impeccably clean; hot water was abundant; everything was in working order. We liked the safe, quiet, walkable neighborhood and closeness to the bay-side beach. Backyard is a suitable play area for children. House is beautifully decorated. There are amble extra pillows and bedding. Electrical outlets are reachable in all rooms. Kitchen is adequately stocked with pans and dishes. Bedrooms are very small with only tight walking space around two sides of the bed. Other rooms are comfortably sized. Owner communicated well and was easy to work with. Be aware that owner requires a 1500 deposit if you decline to buy damage insurance and VRBO does not return that deposit until two weeks after you vacate. All in all, we were very comfortable and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

We enjoyed our stay at Mermaid cottage. Extremely clean, stocked with everything we needed. Nice to have the bay just a short block away. The screened in porch was wonderful for eating together. Owners were extremely communicative and helpful. Relaxing neighborhood away from the chaos of downtown Cape May. I’ll stay again in the future.

The Mermaid Cottage has a wonderful beach vibe , it is the perfect beach getaway. And the cleanest house I ever rented!!! Just a short walk from beach to house we could go back and forth with the little ones with ease. The beds are so comfortable we all had a good nights sleep. The host provided many yard games to play after a day on the beach . The yard was a perfect space to hang out after a day at the beach! And there were bikes in great shape for a morning bike ride around the neighborhood. All around a perfect place to kick back and put your toes in the sand!

Mermaid Cottage in April
We stayed at the Mermaid Cottage in April for an early season birding trip. The location worked well for hitting all the birding hotspots in the area with a bonus of only being a few houses away from the beach. The neighborhood was quiet. The cottage was very clean and plenty of space for our party of 3 adults. The back porch is a lovely space for dinners. The host was fabulous answering all our questions in a timely manner. I highly recommend this cottage. Kim, Montpelier, VT
