Wife wishes she could live in this house!

The house is in a great location. The attention to detail was beyond explanation. We had everything we needed and more! The house was really clean. The back yard is beautiful. Perfect for watching sunset. The hot tub was perfect after a long day of hiking. Would absolutely stay here again.

Visiting student at Humboldt

We brought the extended family for a visit with our son at Humboldt. The property was exactly as described, well maintained, clean, well stocked, and comfortable. We all loved the mermaid decor everywhere. We appreciated all the little extras provided that made the stay really special. It is clear that someone lovingly curated every detail of Mermaid Cove. The space perfectly fit our group, with a separate bathroom for each bedroom. We are looking forward to booking here again.

Unable to stay at this VRBO

We were all set to stay at the mermaid house. All payments have been made, and then we were informed that these owners pulled out from this platform so we never were able to enjoy the mermaid house which made us very very disappointed. However, Vacasa stepped up to the plate and helped us find another place to stay at.

Great vacation home for a family

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mermaid Cove! It is located next door to a great walking/bike trail. Everything inside and outside was clean. The refrigerator water stream was reeeeealllly slow, but that was only a minor inconvenience. Be prepared to be fascinated by all the ways the owners have incorporated mermaids and mermaid colors in every aspect of the decor and details.

Great space to be with family

The information for check-in and check-out were clear and easy. We loved the house. Large open space to hang out with a great kitchen. Nice that each bedroom had it's own private bathroom. Also, loved the hot tub and views. So easy to access the walking/biking trails and very easy to get on/off the highway to get to the house. Thanks so much!!

Beautiful House

When you first walk in the door you are greeted with amazing views. The house is very well stocked with everything you might need and more. The location is amazing with the River, the Ocean and Trails right out your front door. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. There is so many things to do two days was not enough time, we definitely have to go back.

Mermaid Cove - True to its name

This is a superb vacation home. One of the best we’ve been to, if not the best. Very clean, and with great attention to detail. Perfect locations for a Redwoods trip. Complete privacy and ocean views from every room. We are a family of 5 and were very comfortable in the house. Also, the vacasa team is very responsive and answered our questions immediately. The most interesting thing about the house - is that it is 100% following the ocean/mermaid theme. They really went overboard with this, with every little detail. You have to see it to believe it.

Amazing Beach House

We loved this house. It was perfect for our annual friends book vacation. We loved how spacious it was and enjoyed sitting on the porch (or in the hot tub) watching the ocean as we relaxed. The house was super clean and had everything we needed. Plus the beds are so comfortable we contacted the property manager to find out what mattresses they had. Overall amazing stay.

Great house with ocean views

We really enjoyed our stay at Mermaid Cove. The house was clean and well-stocked. The hot tub and fire table outside are awesome when combined with the amazing views! They also had cornhole outside, which we loved. It's important to note that the house doesn't have actual access to the beach. The views are great though!

Beautiful & fully stocked!

This property had it all. Absolutely stunning views, and every room was completely stocked. We had everything we needed to have an amazing stay. The hot tub was great to relax while we watched the waves roll in. The beds were clean and comfortable with high quality mattresses. Each room had a slider to the deck, and an en suite bathroom. They also had electric fireplaces to take the ocean chill away. The common areas were stocked with all creature comforts and necessities including towels and throw blankets to cuddle up on the oversized sectional. A large driveway easily accommodated 2 vehicles (one a dually) with more than enough room to spare. Decor was stunning and no detail was missed keeping the mermaid/beach theme throughout the house. We had no complaints and saved this as a favorite property since we’d love to visit again in the future.

Mermaid Bliss

This was the perfect size home, in the perfect location, with the most perfect decor for my group of friends. The house was very clean and as advertised. It was actually so much cuter in person. There was a break in the weather to enjoy the patio, fire pit, and hot tub. The beds were big and comfortable, and every room had its own bathroom and slider door to the outside. The kitchen was well stocked, although we did not use it. I cannot say enough about this rental and the great service I received from Vacasa staff before and after our stay. I highly recommend and would stay here again.

Mermaid Magic

The home was absolutely wonderful! It was the most well appointed rental I've ever stayed in. There was only one thing I could think of that this house didn't have and that was a set of sheets for the pull-out couch.(Which I was told was very comfortable!) But we were able to improvise. The name Mermaid Cove certainly lived up to it's promise! More mermaids and mermaid themed items than I would have ever imagined in one place. It was so much fun looking at them all!! There was a sufficient amount of toys, puzzles and coloring materials for the little ones and everything was in good working order. The beds were comfortable the spa was clean, the neighborhood was quite and the view was to die for!!

Great sunsets! (but beware Vacasa)

Great place to watch the sunsets, but if you have a house issue that needs fixing, good luck with Vacasa customer service. There was a business card on the counter that had a local number to call for help, do that first if there's a problem. Also, Vacasa didn't send me the code to unlock the door until less than 24-hrs prior to our arrival, which was uncomfortable. I actually called them to get the code before their automated e-mail came through. Expect a long hold if you call Vacasa.
