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!

This home is a great location, on the beach, comfortable and a great place to create memories with family and friends. I would definitely go back. Our host was always available if needed.
I have been going to Pelee Island since the 80's and this is the second stay at Mermaid on Lorain. 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!
Beautiful relaxing location on a large sandy beach
Amazing location right on a large sandy beach. Very quiet. Nice cottage but it is a cottage. Internet and satellite TV were flaky but so what: relax without a phone and enjoy some nature time! Manager Madeline very pleasant and accommodating. Check-out cleaning process should be posted before making reservation. Make sure to book ferry to the island in advance. Would stay again in a heartbeat!
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!
The house is large and suits the needs of a family group and you can't beat the location, right on the beach. Sadly we found this property was not up to our expectations. There were numerous spiderwebs and spiders both inside and out (and we couldn't find a fly swatter) The BBQ..once cleared of webs was all rusted out on the inside and bird poop adorned the window sill right next to it. We had to search for pillow cases (found the linen closet off the main floor bedroom) and make our own beds, then were then penalized for not taking the sheets back off of them before we left. I have been to Pelee three times in the past year and stayed at lower prices places that were cleaner, well stocked and had the beds make prior to guest arrival. I would not rent this property again.
Excellent beach front location, amazing caretaker, fully euiped and comfortable space and cooperative owner. We had a great time!Note: Since it was in the house rules, we had to spend several valuable hours of our stay to do the bedsheet & towels laundry and clean the house before leaving the place!
Pelee Island is stunning and this beautiful spot right on the east shore did not disappoint! The cottage was clean and well appointed with more supplies than expected! Extremely comfortable beds! Lots of spiders inside and out but it won’t keep us away!
The property was a nice size, the house was overall as advertized. The weather was really hot, the bedrooms had window air conditioners which worked well, but the rest of the house was warm

Beautiful spot
Only issue was owners showed up at beginning of our stay stated they didn’t know we were booked and needed to do pictures to sell the house we had to wait outside for hour until owners were completed.
