Welcome to our "Mermaid's and Mutts Retreat" - Pet and Child friendly!
Our lovely little Bungalow was built in 1923 and has been upgraded with all the modern conveniences needed to enjoy a wonderful family beach vacation.
We are nestled directly on the beach of the Chesapeake Bay. We have fantastic views of the beach from the decks and the upstairs. We are beach front and your backyard is the beautiful sandy beaches of the Chesapeake Bay.
Mermaid's has central heat and air. We have a dual zone system for both upstairs and down. There are 3 bedrooms; two of which are upstairs - one has a queen-size bed and a twin bed with a locking door, and the other also has a queen and a twin with a full curtain for privacy. The downstairs bedroom features one queen bed.
We have a 65" Smart TV for you to stream your own entertainment services. We also have high speed WiFi for all your devices.
We have a dining area, with a dining table and 6 chairs.
We have two full bathrooms - upstairs has a standup shower and the main bathroom downstairs has a full tub/shower combination.
The full size kitchen features a gas stove. We also have a full size washer/dryer.
We are pet friendly with a pet fee. We do have Off-Street parking right in front of the home that can handle up to 3 larger vehicles, or 4 smaller ones.
Even with a thorough modernization the property is a historical home that is now over 108 years old. It has some eccentricities that reflect building standards and designs from the turn of the last century that lends to its charm as an older beach cottage. But even so, we hope that you will love our older and charming home.
This is a family enterprise and as such we are happy to open our home to families and smaller groups that are traveling or seeking to enjoy our beautiful beaches. No parties are allowed or tolerated. We do have neighbors close by and everyone is entitled (by law) to the "quiet enjoyment" of their homes - including you as our guest. Please respect your neighbors. Any parties will be immediately shut down and evicted with the full forfeiture of all monies paid as well as the security deposit.
This was an amazing stay. The beach was quiet and sitting on the deck was so peaceful.

Very cute old house right on the beach but it needs some serious work.. if you open certain cabinet doors in the kitchen it hits the ceiling fan, they had the dryer door taped shut but of course it kept popping open so the dryer is unusable, stains on the carpets and wood floors, missing outlet covers, the back deck is seriously unsafe you feel it sway with any small movement and it needs a good deep clean the ac filter covers are caked in dust and they’re Cobb webs in a lot of the corners. They provide towels and wash clothes but I wouldn’t use them they are stained and falling apart. The house is in a great location beautiful quite beach but we definitely overpaid for the condition the house is in.

The house is in need of repairs. Downstairs bathroom. Dryer. And it needs an exterminator. Over priced for the condition. But a great location to walk to the beach.

This place was a great place to have children and be on beach without the big crowds. It is a little outdated but was good for us for the week. Right on the beach and lots of room, kitchen was nice and most stuff foe cooking needs. Grill outside was a plus.
Things that would have made it better and should consider is having a hose hooked up to the side of the house to wash off after beach before going into the house. I also noted that the freezer was leaking water from the bottom so we put a washcloth to keep water from spreading. Also the dryer needs someone to fix the door, we had to use gorilla tape to keep it shut. Would also be nice if there was a tv in the upstairs and the main floor bedroom even if they are small tv’s.
Anyway I was very happy with this location and would recommend it.

Location is easily accessible from Rte 64, a short drive to the Naval base, and is close to shopping and restaurants. The rental is very clean. Part of its charm is that it’s an older home. Which also means we didn’t expect perfection and are pleased by the amount of TLC this gem has received. The little nuances of staying in a historical home in a modern area makes this housing charming. There were only a couple of non-consequence plumbing inconveniences that a good handyman could fix easy. Overall, our stay was pleasant and restful.

Great location and a new place for us to visit. Amazing beach, and ready access to it. Warm ocean, great for swimming. Disappointing weather but that can’t be controlled!

We booked this property for our anniversary weekend getaway. We had an awesome time the location was perfect. They allowed the dogs which was awesome. The backyard is the beach and exactly what we were looking for. The house is spacious and has loads of potential. It’s an old house and could use a handyman’s touch for a day or two as outside upper deck really isn’t safe and there are a few things that need minor maintenance, outlets needing covers but all and all we had a great time.

We highly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. The backyard is the beach & it’s a short distance to Va. Beach & other amazing things. Check in was super easy. The home was very clean & spacious. We had 5 adults & 2 children. I will keep this property in mind for next time.

Short weekend visit with our adult children but. This place is perfect for a family or group. Right off the beach and close to everything. More spacious than it looks in photos.

My family of 7 adults and 2 furbabies stayed for a weekend to Celebrate our sister, who lives in VA Beach's 70th birthday. The house was roomy, comfortable, and Kathleen was the ultimate host. We would highly recommend this rental.

Front storm door was missing self closing mechanism and hung up on the top corner. Missing a plug cover, not good with children in the house. Laundry mirror was cracked in top right corner. Extremely low water pressure. Kitchen was great for cooking meals. Plenty of seating and great tv but could have used more upstairs. Plenty of parking.

We initially had a good experience with the owner and property up until we had an unexpected visit from a rat or rats! The rat was seen in the sick in the bathroom and running all throughout the home. We even had rats feces in our luggage! When I notified the owner of the issue her only solution was to come set traps however when I told her we would be leaving and checking into a hotel then at that time she offered another property nearby and refused any sort of refund. We left the property and are now out the costs of the rental and the fees to go rent a hotel…..this is totally unprofessional and and shows this is not a very cooperative or understanding property owner. Rent this property at your own risk!

RETRO ECLECTIC
There is a fenced area in front and side for our dogs and parking in front. It is a short walk to the water and the bay can be seen from the decks. The kitchen is adequately stocked and Kathleen responded promptly to my messages. This retro eclectic bungalow has been upgraded but still needs some loving renovation.
