North Shore Gem

We have been coming to Kauai for a decade with the family and to be walking distance to the amazing beaches of the north shore was outstanding. A great place to stay.

Beautiful house and location

We had a wonderful stay in Mermsid House. I didn’t want to leave!The house is really lovely. It feels natural. It had all comforts that you need and is 2 minutes by foot from the beach. It is ideal in so many ways. All mod-cons and is a short drive away from Haena State Park (pre-book tickets!!) to the west and the charming town on Hanalei to the east.It is a no-brainer for us to go back. We just need to find a way to get more holiday time!!!

Perfect!!!

This home is in a beautiful place. It is just steps away from a secluded beach that we mostly had to ourselves. The house is a very authentic beach house with original wood features throughout. Very well done. We will be back.

Special spot

We loved our short stay at the charming Mermaid house. The house was an ample size for our family of five and it was a short walk to a beautiful beach nestled in a divine location. It was the cherry on top of our wonderful Kauai vacation.

Lovely beach side house

The Mermaid House was perfect for our group. We appreciated the older and unique styling of the house. Also, it had a fully applianced equipped kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. The location is great - very private and a short walk down an inviting path to a beautiful beach.

Wonderful week at Mermaid House

We really liked the setup of the Mermaid House. Very comfortable, wanting for nothing. Having three bedrooms was nice. Beach chairs and towels were especially nice. Maybe the quietest Bosch dishwasher ever.

Magical!

Everything was just as promised. A wonderful place to stay in a truly delightful setting. Quick walk to a secluded beach, lovely home to relax in afterwards— we were only 2, but plenty of room for more! Kitchen was extremely well stocked and a pleasure to use. Host was very responsive. Looking forward to a return trip!

A Special Gem!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Mermaid House! This was a trip that I have been wanting to do with my family for years. It was the perfect location, we walked to the beach every day and saw both Sea Turtles and Seals! Thank you, Jane for sharing your special home. We are already talking about when we can come back and stay again!

Beautifully Secluded Home

We are a more introverted family and this place was incredible for our needs. We enjoyed the quick walk to the beach and the overall feel of the house. So glad there are still a few of these more traditional feeling homes on the island. The stroll up the coastline each morning was magical and this side of the island gave us a whole different experience than the rest of it. When we come back again we'll be sure to stay here.

Magical

This is an absolutely magical place in paradise! The house is beautifully furnished, comfortable but not fussy, and very well equipped. The location could not be better ~ a lovely beach is literally across the street down a small path and Tunnels, the best snorkeling beach around, is a short walk. The mountains are spectacular and the beauty is everywhere. Jane was a wonderful hostess. We hope to return to this little piece of heaven.
