ProsGreat location. Lots of room beautiful views super quite spot..ConsInternet was terrible. Bugs and spiders everywhere. Not sure when the last renters were present but the spiders definitely own the place. Not sure about the water charge of 10??be prepared to clean and remove everything including the garbage when you leave.. apparently no cleaning service the past rental is the cleaning service..

Pelee Island - Mermaid on Lorain

Another great Trip to Pelee Island at Mermaid on Lorain. This is our third stay and it was amazing. The place was spotless when we arrived for check in. The location on the Island is amazing with some of the best sandy beach front on the Island. The house is very nice and had a lot of the essentials. We look forward to going back next year!

We had a great time at the cottage! The utilities were all working perfectly, they had all kinds of kitchen supplies, beach chairs, umbrella etc. The place was organized and clean when we got there and it was very easy and smooth to check in. If you have kids, they have playpen :) Definitely staying here again!

Beautiful cottage, well equipped and maintained. I really appreciated the large umbrella on deck to block some of the morning sun. The furniture and beds were comfortable and clean. Nice kitchen with good appliances and cooking supplies. Great beach.

Incredible Location

Being on the beach was a huge plus, and the cottage did have room for all six of the adults in my group to get along comfortably. There were a few minor things that differed from the listing, but nothing that could spoil our stay. The house was quite clean but also had quite a few spiders - we seemed to be the first guests of the season so again, not a deal breaker. My group is already planning a return to the island, as this was our first time visiting and we loved it!

beautifully tranquil

Stayed here the long weekend with 5 friends. This cottage is well maintained and clean, beds are comfortable with ample sized rooms, kitchen is well supplied with all you need for cooking, the beach is beautiful which you can walk quite a distance either way. Price is good for what you are getting, but I would rather pay a bit extra and have all cleaning provided (sheet, towels bathrooms). I would definitely recommend this place to friends and/or family. Owner was always available for questions we had either by text or email.

Lovely property on the beach!

We were very pleased with the property! A few minor things that did not detract from our overall impression - barbeque had not been cleaned and propane tank felt that it was nearing empty but property manager remedied that by quickly delivering a new full tank and brush to clean barbeque. Pump on water cooler not working properly. Also fire pit had not been cleaned out by previous guests, but it was either to windy or too hot/humid to have a bonfire anyway! Everything you could imagine was there for use, except we did not find a fly swatter, which would have come in handy due to some pesky biting flies. We would highly recommend the property. And it was nice to have the property manager, Madeleine and her husband nearby; they were very kind and accommodating.

Stay on Pelee in August

We arrived on Pelee the last week of August with two young children. The house is exactly as pictured. It is updated and airy. Your backyard is the beach! My daughter loved being so close to the water. I had never heard of Pelee before this trip. We really enjoyed being out of touch for the week. The winery is large and fun. Conorlees bakery is wonderful. There are plenty of nice hikes to take and many outdoor activities to do. The neighborhood was quiet and the people were friendly. We would recommend this home!

Overall a very nice weekend!

Overall the cottage suited our purpose and we'd consider renting again. There were a couple of small issues that were resolved quickly by the management company who was just a phone call away. We found no beach chairs, but there was a picnic table that suited us fine. The property is close to the water, so listening to the waves beat up the shore at night was definitely a highlight! The property could have used a good cleaning before our arrival (dead bugs, dusty, coffee grounds in the coffee maker, etc) even though the property was used just the prior weekend, but everything that we needed was there and working. Thanks!

Great location, communication with owner/property owner needs improvement

The property and location was awesome and we really enjoyed our stay. The house is very nice and was perfect for our family. The only downside to the house is that it was FULL of huge spiders. However, it is right on the beach and our children loved being able to go out the door and play on the beach or swim. We also loved the fire pit. I will say that the yard and beach are full of horrible prickers that should be taken care of...they are everywhere and when stepped on, they draw blood. The check-in process was stressful because all the information on VRBO regarding the onsite property manager was incorrect, so we were panicking while we were packing to leave trying to get ahold of someone to figure out how we were going to get into the house. When we finally got in contact with the property owner, it was obvious he didn’t know people were coming to the house that week, though he did scramble to get someone to clean the house before we got there and leave the house open for us. All in all, I think all of these problems could be solved if there was an on-site property manager. It’s obvious the property is not cared for on a regular basis.
