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.

North Shore Gem

The mermaid house was just as advertised, we loved our comfortable stay there, we were just sad that wave height was too high for snorkeling at tunnels while we were there.

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.

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!

Heaven

This a a beautiful house on a quiet street next to an amazing beach in the best part of Kauai. Just perfect. The house is full of Hawaiian charm, comfortable bed, great kitchen with everything you need and lots of places to lie around reading. The lovely beach is a short 1 minute walk down an access path and just another 5 minute walk on the sand to tunnels beach. Jane was a perfect host and the home was presented spotlessly clean. Just the best week in heaven.

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!

Perfect Beach House

The mermaid house was excellent for our family of four. We loved the easy walk to pristine beaches and snorkeling. The house was all we needed, and, yes, the roosters start early but thats ok- get up and enjoy the sunrise. Mahalo Jane!

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.

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.

The living and dining area are perfect for relaxing and getting away. The kitchen has everything you need. If planning to bbq bring charcoal. We purchased a charcoal chimney and left it so no need for lighter fluid.

Great house close to beaches

Great house, nice beaches close by. Great communication with owner. Only downside, was it was a little farther than most of our activities. I knew this going in. Wanted to be closer to Tunnels and Kee beaches, but waves didn’t cooperate for snorkeling. Would stay here again even though it’s a little farther from activities.

Pristine Location, incredible Hawaiian home

Such a wonderful place to stay, proximity of the ocean is literally steps away, house is perfectly laid out, comfortable and has anything you could ask for. We enjoyed everything this property had to offer including contact with the Owner. Such a delightful place, why would you want to stay in a condo when you have this incredible Hawaiian home? We are a little picky when it comes to places to stay and we had absolutely no complaints... a dream! I can't stress enough how perfect the location was. We will be back... again and again and again!

Comfortable Hawaiian Home In A Quiet Neighborhood

My sister and I stayed at the Mermaid House for four nights. The home is located in a quiet beach house neighborhood. Neighboring homes are close by, but the vegetation surrounding the house provides ample privacy. We found the home and grounds tidy and clean and supplied with everything you need for cooking and dining at home and going to the beach. You can walk to the beach in about 1-2 minutes! And, Tunnels Beach is just down the road! We are looking forward to staying at Mermaid House again and again.
