Great Island Family Property

We really enjoyed our stay on PEI at the house in Mermaid. Angie, Dillon and family were awesome hosts. The house a location were perfect for our home base during the several weeks we spent walking PEI Island Walk. We could have asked for a better house or better hosts.

Relaxing...

This location met all our requirements. Ample room, a large yard for our puppies to enjoy, a beautiful deck to view the surroundings and the tranquil water a short walk away. A quiet neighbourhood and a very easy drive into Charlottetown and starting point for all those adventures across the island. Angie was always a phone call or text away to answer any questions or concerns we had and offered up dining suggestions as well! It was a wonderful, relaxing week...

Beautiful views but close to Charlottetown as well

The property was perfect for our family’s needs. Everyone had their own space, and we were able to cook meals for times when we weren’t going out. Quick and easy access to Charlottetown but very quiet and secluded.

Mermaid Beach House - Stunning Views

Mermaid Beach House is a beautiful property with the most amazing views of open marshes and the sea - we saw Herons fishing, so many birds and it was the perfect start and end to our day sitting out on the deck - absolutely stunning views and one of the quietest places to stay in a lovely neighborhood. Also so close to Charlotte town and surrounding areas - our Hosts left a pass to the Provincial Parks to enjoy and we used it every day. Would highly recommend - the photographs absolutely do not do justice to the open indoor space and there was absolutely everything our family needed for our stay - if you have children there is a whole playroom for them to enjoy. Angie and Dylan were the perfect hosts and responded to all our questions promptly. Yes, there are mosquitos in the marshes, grass and we were not able to walk down to the sea for this reason but our Hosts offered to come and spray to help with this. We were prepared due to other reviews and just took spray and bug zappers. We were able to sit on the deck without being affected at all. Just a stunning place and highly recommend no question.

Great home away from home

Our family rented this wonderful home as we visited the island. The home had plenty of room to have additional family stop in and visit without making the place feel over crowded. The home was in a nice and quiet neighbourhood where we took our son for a walk nearly every morning.

Beautiful house and comfortable stay

Loved the views! House was well laid out for a bigger group of guests but even a small group of two was great to have room to spread out. Owners were very responsive and supplied everything you could hope for! The toy room was a bonus abd made the stay very exciting fir my toddler. Highly recommend. Do suggest having a car. Mosquitos were killer but expect that was due to time of the year and that are used to city living :).

Such a pleasure!

In this beautiful house, with its beautiful view, you feel like you never stop enjoying your vacation. We loved watching the birds — so many varieties— bring your binoculars! And we thoroughly enjoyed spending time in many different parts of PEI. The beaches are all distinct and we enjoyed the spectacular national Parks.. Angie was a wonderful hostess and checked in during our stay. She also left many supplies for our use— which was very helpful.

Mermaid Beach House Vacation with family

The Mermaid Beach House was absolutely beautiful with all the amenities you could possibly want in a vacation home. Angie and Dylan were very welcoming of all of us, including our two miniature schnauzers. And we appreciated the offer of making the bunk beds into two single beds for older family members. The location was great too for sightseeing around PEI and close to amenities. And even though we did not have young children with us, we were amazed at all the toys and activities available for kids. We'd highly recommend Mermaid Beach House as a spectacular family vacation opportunity! Christine and Kevin

We loved our experience!

My family and I wanted to visit PEI and started our search on VRBO and this beautiful location came up. We were even more excited as it was free the week we were looking for. The reservation was quick and easy and received the confirmation within 10 mins. I wrote to Angie with some questions u had. She was very quick to reply and provided me with even more information on places we can visit, eat, find local fish markets. Angie proactively reached out to me a few weeks before our trip to provide directions to the house, how to obtain the keys and provided clear directions to the local grocery store, pharmacy etc.. This was really appreciated as it was something on my list to do. She also offered me tickets for my kids to go kayaking near by as that was something they wanted to do. When we got there the house was just like what you see on the website. It was so beautiful and clean and so many windows that brought in much light. They had many board games, a big basement and have so many toys for small children as well. Angie also had a good variety of pots/appliances/cleaning products. Angie reached out to me on the first day of our visit to ask if we noticed many mosquitoes around. As there were many she immediately took care of it and sent a company over to spray the grounds with an environmentally friendly liquid. Angie and Dylan were very friendly, helpful and so nice to me and my family. They reached out mid week to see if we needed anything. Overall our stay was amazing the kids, my husband and I just loved our experience. Thank you so much Angie and Dylan for your hospitality. You guys are awesome 🤩

Lots of good, a few things to note

We had a great week at this property! The house and amenities were great, my kids really enjoyed the basement playroom, and we really appreciated it being dog friendly. The hosts were very easy to deal with, and the proximity to Charlottetown was so convenient ! A few things to note: 1) So. Many. Mosquitoes! I understand it was a bad year in general for mosquitos in PEI, but we found them significantly worse at the house than other places we visited on the island (marshy type area in front likely the culprit), and very disruptive to our enjoyment of the property...could not sit out on the deck or throw a ball in the backyard for even a few minutes without many many bites...could not even make it from the car to the front door without being swarmed. Unfortunate for sure, as the outdoor space is lovely. 2) The beach in front of the property was really not a beach....even at low tide, when there is some exposed red sand, there were so many oyster/mussel shells on the beach that there was really no practical way to have the kids or dog play on the beach. In fact, before we realized how sharp they were we all got cuts on our feet while trying to walk. All of the above to say, if you are looking for a lovely house with serene views, great hosts and a very convenient location for Charlottetown, this is a great choice! If you are hoping for more of a PEI "cottage" experience, then I would suggest another rental.
