Overall very nice, charming easy to walk to Ocean front and nice walk all around. The street is like an alley behind the ocean front and very quiet. The views fine, nice patio and fully supplied kitchen. The sponge left was dirty and we left a new clean one. Relaxing space and an awesome place to explore even in the rain!

Calling All Mermaids

It's just what we've been looking for! A comfy, cozy place to call home near the Bay and within walking distance into town. Just the right size for the 2 of us and kitty too. Kitchen is small, but still able to prepare meals since it had everything we needed. We'll be back!!! Thank you Barry and Elizabeth for sharing this peaceful hideaway!

Mermaid Heaven

This property is a mermaid lover’s delight. But most importantly, is the location. It is a half block from the gorgeous waterfront with its many resident sea otters and beautiful walking trails along the bluff that go for miles. It is also an easy walk to the small downtown shops and restaurants so you can park the car for days. Even a doable walk to the Monterey Aquarium. A great place to stay!

We love the Mermaid Retreat! It's a perfect location, close to downtown and nice restaurants. And walking along the ocean for miles never gets old, including the spectacular sunsets just around the corner. It just feels like home away from home.

We had the best time at the mermaid retreat! The walking path is amazing, we really enjoyed watching the dolphins, otters, and seals. It’s a geat location, walking distance to delicious restaurants, lovers point is really cool- the surf was up and it was entertaining watching the surfers. Easy check in, perfect space for the wife and I and our dog.

Been looking at this listing for over ten years and finally hit it with my time and a vacancy... not disappointed. Awesome location, clean, simple accommodations. Only thing that would improve the experience is a new mattress...
