Only negative was not super easy to walk to beach down steep long steps to beach. T street and San Clemente state beach still a super quick drive.

A great house for our family group

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid Cottage. It was clean and offered lots of room for us all to be comfortable. (3 bathrooms!) We started our week off with a very wet hurricane but luckily it didn't linger and we had sunny nice weather the rest of our stay. The house had lots of beach essentials and toys. We used them all. Our 2 year old granddaughter was happy to have some sand toys. Flying in from out of state, one can't bring chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, coolers, boogie boards etc. Yet all those really are 'necessary' for a beach vacation. Management was very easy to work with and I could recommend this house to others.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time at the Mermaid Cottage by the Sea. My family and my husband and I were there for my stepson's wedding and the house was the perfect size for the seven of us! It was clean and beautifully decorated! It was within walking distance to the beach and was perfectly located from all if our weddings events. We even managed to fit in a couple of days in Disneyland! Only a 15-20 minute drive!! The management staff couldn't have been nicer and were great to work with! I left my phone at the house, and I live on the East Coast. I contacted the property manager, Jordan, and he was wonderful! He shipped my phone right back to me and I had it within a few days!! It was such a memorable trip!! The Mermaid Cottage by the Sea did not disappoint!!

Mermaid Beach House

The location is amazing! Short walk to the beach. You will need to walk down a VERY steep stairway followed by a sand trail that is slippery. I wouldn’t recommended this location of walking to the beach with young children, older people, or out of shape people. The neighborhood is beautiful! Each house is so unique. With this rental being in a neighborhood… the neighbors are not friendly at all and do not like that there is a VRBO near them so they were not nice. There is VERY LITTLE AND TIGHT parking. We have and truck and suburban and were unable to park them both in the driveway and there was not any available parking when my husband arrived. He parked halfway on the driveway and halfway on the walking path to the house to unload our luggage. The neighbors instantly took photos of his parking and sent to the owner of the house. I would not recommend bringing full size vehicles to this property. The house was very clean and well stocked. I would recommended the owners purchasing new cookware.The teffelon pans were beat up! To the point of us not wanting to use them. Puzzles had MANY missing pieces. The bbq had issues when we got there but property manager was able to get fixed. Overall a great house for large family. But needs some TLC. We will most likely NOT be staying here again because of the vibes the neighbors gave us. They seemed very annoyed and grumpy that we were there. This was our 2nd time staying here. Last time was a better experience.
