About this property

Big House on the Dunes, Walk to the Mighty Pacific

Salty Mermaid puts you just a few steps away from the Pacific Ocean. Here you can sit on the deck and watch the waves lap at the beach, while you sip your morning coffee or evening beverage.

ABOUT SALTY MERMAID

On a chilly morning, when it's too cool to enjoy your coffee outside, the huge living room windows offer a virtually unobstructed view to the sea, plus there are cozy couches to curl up in. In the evening, you can binge watch your favorite television shows on the large flat screen television or gather round the dining room table for a board game with the kids.

The generous kitchen boasts all you'll need for a big vacation breakfast or hearty evening feast, including pots, pans, dishes and flatware. If you're a barbeque affectionado, the gas grill on the deck will satisfy that need. Six people are easily accommodated at the dining table and, if needed, another three at the breakfast bar.

MORE ABOUT SALTY MERMAID

Three bedrooms offer plenty of comfortable sleeping space. Two feature king-sized beds and one has two twins. A Murphey bed in the living room expands the sleeping area for another two guests. From two of the downstairs bedrooms, you can step right out onto the patio to enjoy the morning salt air. In addition, two full bathrooms and a half bath ensure there's no waiting for a shower or bath.

Anytime of the year, the hot tub invites you to relax at the end or your day.

ABOUT PACIFIC BEACH

Booking one of our properties in Pacific Beach? In this little community centrally located in Grays Harbor, you'll find an array of seaside activities for you and your friends/family to enjoy.

Fly a kite in a contest, build a sand sculpture or go sea kayaking. There are numerous nearby state parks that are perfect for hiking, surfing or just an afternoon stroll along the beach.

During the Spring and Summer, you'll be able to dig for clams or go crabbing. If it's warm enough, take a surfing lesson or go fishing so you can catch something for dinner later!

Visiting us during the colder months is perfectly okay, too. There are beachside restaurants and museums between Pacific Beach and Ocean Shores that will keep you busy while still being able to enjoy those stunning views.

Sea Mermaid

Nice floorplan and location. Needs some maintenance, broken blinds and stove light wouldn't go off. Stove and oven need cleaning. Christmas decorations were very nice. House decor was very nice. No cable TV only streaming. Overall nice comfortable house.

Beautiful view

This was a nice clean house. The view was wonderful and we loved listening to the ocean. It got a bit hot inside the house even though it wasnt very hot outside. They did have fans in every room so that helped! Other than that it was a great trip!

Well-equipped beach house just minutes from the beach!

This house was perfect for our annual beach trip. The house was just as described, very clean, with surprise amenities and small comforts like box fans if it got warm at the end of the day (if you know pnw beaches, you know!) Everything worked well, the beds were comfortable, and the view was amazing. This house made our trip so much more comfortable and we will definitely be back again! (Note: We didn't use the hot tub so I cannot attest to that part, but I'll definitely be trying it out next time!)

Nice place for a long weekend

My daughter and a friend and I wanted to do an intensive writing long weekend somewhere quiet, and this house was perfect! Near the amenities (such as they are, in Seabrook). Not far from the beach but access was hard to find, and probably half a mile from the house. Two minute drive. Nice place to write for a few days.

Back again

This was our second stay at the Salty Mermaid. It’s a great house for our group. Spacious and bright. Has a well stocked kitchen with all the basics. The main room is spacious and bright has a nice view of ocean. Plenty of space to hang out. Big dining table so all can eat together or play games. Will definitely book again.

Quiet stay

The home is in a small development in Pacific Beach. Everything was as advertised. Nice hot tub. Be sure to visit the town just up the road—Seabrook—which is very upscale and has several restaurants and a nice market.

Great Beach View Property

Loved the house! Spacious, clean, comfortable beds, great layout, nice hot tub and wonderful view! One drawback was that there was no direct beach access. Worked out well though because we just drove our cars down and parked for the day.

Relaxing time

Our stay was wonderful. The only glitch was the first night when the smoke detector kept beeping. Someone came out late that night and fixed the problem. Thanks for the help. the rest of the stay was amazing, and we have many happy memories. I recommend this place for anyone looking to relax and make memories.
