Great place for Vacation

House and property were wonderful. Plenty of room for family and friends. Close to lots of amenities. Hot tub stopped working and they got someone to come repair it on the weekend. Great service. Would definitely stay there again.

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.

Visiting student at Humboldt

We brought the extended family for a visit with our son at Humboldt. The property was exactly as described, well maintained, clean, well stocked, and comfortable. We all loved the mermaid decor everywhere. We appreciated all the little extras provided that made the stay really special. It is clear that someone lovingly curated every detail of Mermaid Cove. The space perfectly fit our group, with a separate bathroom for each bedroom. We are looking forward to booking here again.

Unable to stay at this VRBO

We were all set to stay at the mermaid house. All payments have been made, and then we were informed that these owners pulled out from this platform so we never were able to enjoy the mermaid house which made us very very disappointed. However, Vacasa stepped up to the plate and helped us find another place to stay at.

AMAZING

Absolutely one of the most incredible rentals I’ve had the pleasure to stay at. The property was gorgeous, with a stunning view off the back deck. Amazing sunset. Just a few of the features: nice hot tub, kayaks, bicycles, gas fireplace (indoor and outdoor), keurig w/ coffee and creamers, and more. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Come enjoy the Mermaid Cove!

A lovely stay in the redwoods park area.

Our family of six (all adults; 3 couples) loved this property. Each couple had a bathroom, and the living, dining and kitchen areas were large enough to accommodate us all when we sat down to eat or to socialize. Large open windows! We needed extra towels and they were delivered pronto! 'Tis hard to get the kayaks down to the water, so if you plan to come to boat on the water, be ready for a good hike down the steps and negotiating among some underbrush. A minor complaint, as the weather had begun to cool when we arrived, so relinquishing this was not a big deal. I think new visitors will find the property quite charming and their needs amply fulfilled.

Great vacation home for a family

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mermaid Cove! It is located next door to a great walking/bike trail. Everything inside and outside was clean. The refrigerator water stream was reeeeealllly slow, but that was only a minor inconvenience. Be prepared to be fascinated by all the ways the owners have incorporated mermaids and mermaid colors in every aspect of the decor and details.

Will come again!

We loved our stay at this property. Check-in/-out process was easy. House was clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. Our 16-year old loved playing pool with her dad. We all enjoyed the hot tub daily. Convenient that towels for the hot tub were provided. Plenty of space to spread out. Had a fox come and visit on the back porch one evening. Would definiltey like to stay again!!

Perfect coastal retreat

Very well stocked. The turquoise and mermaid theme was so fun. House is beautiful and comfortable too. Especially the beds. Boys loved pool table and board games. Wish we had more time to enjoy the house more but we’re there to watch the Kinetic race. Neighborhood is beautiful and tucked away in central location on Mckinleyvile inbetween Trinidad and Arcata/Eureka. They didn’t let us check in early so had to wait until 4 so that was only bummer.

Mermaid Paradise

My friends and family throughly enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid Cove. Incredible views from the house and many thoughtful touches throughout. The proximity to walking trails and the house having bicycles made it so easy for us to get out and enjoy the area. The house is SO quiet, spotless, and perfectly situated to access McKinleyville/Arcata/Trinidad and etc. I would highly recommend the Mermaid Cove and hope to stay there again in the near future!
