Mermaid haven retreat

I could not have imagined a more wonderful place for my brother and I to stay while our mom was in hospice. This place was a true retreat. Brenda and Terry are absolutely wonderful, so nice, helpful, and made us feel welcome and fully at home. The apartment was spotless, very comfortable and has an amazing porch. Thank you Brenda, you were so helpful.

Loved it

Sign of the Mermaid is charming. It's really nicer than the description. TVs in every room, comfy recliner, use of an outdoor porch. In addition the gardens and trees are spectacular, lit up at night. In a quiet location, but easy to walk to restaurants in town. Lovely hosts. We had a short stay, but hope to be back.
