Such a charming place to spend the week!

This house was the perfect place for our family to gather for a week— plenty of space for everyone while still feeling cozy. The views were amazing, and we loved starting and ending our day on the deck watching the ocean!

Wife wishes she could live in this house!

The house is in a great location. The attention to detail was beyond explanation. We had everything we needed and more! The house was really clean. The back yard is beautiful. Perfect for watching sunset. The hot tub was perfect after a long day of hiking. Would absolutely stay here again.

Great stay at the Mermaid House!

This review was submitted before the home was managed by Vacasa. This rental was recommended as a great location and indeed it was! Close to the ocean and all of the nearby amenities, and still private and peaceful. Our family enjoyed our time here immensely!

Perfect place for a relaxing getaway.

This home was lovely, comfortable, spacious, and extremely well stocked. It was a perfect place for our family to stay as we took in the beautiful area. We spent time kayaking up the river, strolling through the Redwood Forest, exploring the nearby trails, relaxing in the hot tub, and playing pool. Just the stress-free vacation our family needed.

Excellent home

Mermaid Cove offered a great central location to enjoy Humbolt County. Beautiful quiet location. House was well stocked, clean and had a great layout for our family of 5. The backyard was the perfect place to relax after a long day.

Lovely well stocked house

We had a great stay at "the turquoise house". The house was well stocked with all kitchen items you would need and lots of games and activities. The location is great for hiking in the redwoods and different water activities (beach, rivers, ect...)

Best spot on the coast

This home has everything you need for a perfect getaway. The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were super comfy and having all the “extras” like the hot tub, kayaks, bikes and games were icing on the cake. The view of the ocean was hypnotic and being so close to the trails was great. This is the perfect North Coast location.

Views for days!

We loved our stay! The beds are soooo comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. The best part is watching the waves and the gorgeous sunsets. Great trail to walk each morning right next to the house! Fabulous Jacuzzi and outdoor fire pit made the deck superb! Loved it!

Great, Great rental!!

This is the second time I've used Redwood Coast Vacation Rentals. Samantha is a wonderful host/manager to work with. This home is beautiful, well appointed with more than enough of everything, from dishes to blankets to hot tub towels to space and the view!! Highly recommend this rental.

Christmas in McKinleyville

Very nice accommodations. The house was very clean when we arrived and well stocked with everything we could possibly need for our four day stay. However, there was only enough propane in the deck fire pit for about thirty minutes of fire. Overall, we would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others.

WOW! THIS PLACE DOESN'T FEEL LIKE A RENTAL PROPERTY

Property description accurate regarding location, layout and amenities - better equipped than most homes!; pristinely maintained; great customer service via email and over the phone. Would love to return to this location at a future date. Many personal touches that make one feel like they are visiting friends rather than staying at a rental.

Memaid Cove Resort!

We had a great stay at Mermaid Cove. The house was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. We loved the view and enjoyed time in the hot tub. It was quite chilly while we were there and the house was warm and comfortable. There was a glitch with the bedroom TVs the first night of our stay but the owner and rental company promptly addressed the problem which seems like a permanent fix so unlikely to be an issue for anyone who follows us.
