This house almost fulfilled our needs. There was plenty of space for the 8 of us and the 8 and 6 year old loved the air hockey table and ping pong. The outdoor shower was a “hit” and the walk to the beach was doable. We had perfect weather which is always a plus. The only downside were the kitchen supplies. We do cook and with a 17 month old it was easier for us to eat in. There were plenty of dishes and mugs but not much glassware. The 2 frying pans caused everything to stick despite using plenty of butter and oil. There was no Tupperware to store leftovers so we purchased our own. There was only one cookie sheet and a 9x12 pan which made baking a challenge. I had read that the knives were not sharp and that was correct! The grill was not clean enough to use so we had to resort to the oven. All in all we had a wonderful time and managed to be creative with the lack of kitchenware. ThThank you, Jacklyn!

We stayed at this property because we had a wedding at the LBI hotel. We were able to walk to the wedding and walk half a block to a gorgeous sunset every night as well as see the sunset from the beautiful decks at this home. Easy access to all around. Ping pong and air hockey a plus!

The house was very clean and well stocked. The description on the website was very accurate. Our family was there for an extended weekend and the house fit our needs. Very spacious. The owner was pleasant to deal with and responded immediately to any questions. Would stay at this property again.

The Home is so Welcoming and Immaculate! Very Spacious for multigenerational living. All family members can enjoy together time as well as separately enjoying a second living room or game room in basement. Two large decks with ample seating. Quiet Family area - short walk to enjoy the prettiest sunsets.

First time visiting LBI and Jaclyn home added to the experience. Warm spacious home with plenty of room to hang out and enjoy the beach air. There 2 large decks; one is open to the sun and stars and lower deck is cover with plenty of shade. The ground level has air hockey and ping pong table, awesome! thanks Jaclyn for sharing your home with us.

We had a wonderful stay at Mermaid Manor. The house and property were beautiful and had many great amenities (ping pong table, beach chairs & badges, private outdoor shower, washer/dryer, two lovely outdoor decks to name a few) and the location was perfect. We loved watching the sunset over the bay, and being able to walk to the beach! The house was INCREDIBLY clean and tidy - virtually spotless, which we loved. We really appreciated that Lyn was so responsive and answered all of our questions promptly and thoroughly. We would love to stay again in the future. :) *Make sure to read the rental terms carefully - we realized many LBI properties require you to bring at least some of your own linens (ie towels, blankets and/or pillows) especially with Covid. We didn’t mind in the end, it actually made us more comfortable to have our own!

Newly built, well laid out, Master on 1st, LOTS of activities stuff which is GREAT for families..bikes, ping pong, air hockey, and all the beach stuff..except umbrellas?? Quiet street close to everything on Bay side so 5 blocks to beach /LB blvd. Excellent beds, fully equipped kitchen (Suggestions. bath hand towels/ rugs, sharper knives and soap)

Was a wonderful few days at the beach in a lovely home, perfect for my family of 7, safe and quiet neighborhood. Very clean. Owners were very nice, communicative, and helpful. House had everything we needed. Short walk down the street to the beach or an even quicker drive. Found parking for my elderly mother near the beach every day. Hope we can stay in this terrific house again.

The property was clean and allowed our family to have plenty of space. We enjoyed spending time out on both decks which provided great views. It was half-a-block to the bay for viewing the sunsets and a short walk to the beach to enjoy the sand and waves. I definitely hope to return in the future. It was a great vacation home and Lyn responded very quickly to each of our questions!

Wonderful property, very well maintained. Owner very cooperative, all making out visit most pleasant.

Totally enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid house. Really comfortable, good layout, plenty of space, well appointed kitchen. Owners responded very quickly to my questions.

This house was a great place for us to gather our daughters, son-in-laws and 2 grandkids under one roof and just focus on us for a change ... away from the distractions of everyday life. Given that we chose an extended Memorial Day mini-vacation, a time of year when the weather is less than predictable, it was important for us to book a place where we thought we would be happy staying put if need be. As it turns out, it rained all but half of one day and we were there ... allowing us to bond with each other in this spacious house ... playing ping pong, air hockey, board games and watching movies when not doing other "rain-friendly" things like bowling. This was our first family vacation with all 3 generations and have decided to do it yearly since this one went so very well ... crossing our fingers we will get to enjoy the beach next time like we had all hoped this year. The 2 living room areas really helped us spread out. The first day the kids and grandkids used the bikes to explore the area before the weather turned grey and wet. Pictures of the house on the website (as of March 2021) do not do it justice, so please make sure you watch the video to get a better sense of the layout. The owner is very friendly and helpful ... completing the package.

We had a really lovely stay here, we were pleasantly surprised that the house actually looked better than the pictures, which is not usually how these rentals work. Jaclyn was in touch but not intrusive, the location of the place was perfect, the balconies were wonderful, and it was extremely clean when we got there. We were also excited to find a ping pong table and an air hockey table in the basement, which were not in the pictures. Would definitely recommend.

We spent a week at this house in Ship Bottom, and it was a comfortable place for our family! The location was convenient because it was close to the bay, walking distance to the beach, and close to restaurants/activities. Lyn was super responsive and a pleasure to work with. Mermaid Manor is a gem!

This is a beautiful home! My two small children loved staying here. The location was perfect and the beach was only a 5 minute walk away. We will definitely be staying again! 😀

Our families had a great time at the house. Ping pong table was great for the kids. Kitchen had everything we needed, and everything was very clean. Great place for a get away!

Our family had a wonderful stay at this home last week topped off with a perfect week of weather. The owner was very accessible and easy to communicate with. The home is located in a very desirable location and has two very nice outdoor decks with plenty of seating and great views of the bay. Walking distance to Flamingo mini-golf and Woodies drive-in made this location that much better! Everything you need in a rental home is provided including washer & dryer, beach chairs, a buggy to haul your items to the beach, several bicycles, outdoor grill and dining space along with a ping pong table and air hockey in the garage space. We were very pleased with our stay and will choose this home again if available for our next stay.

The house was very clean, a block from the bay, and a few blocks from the ocean. We had no negative issues. We have family who have a summer home there but couldn't put all of us up, so this was an excellent solution.

Wonderful weekend! House was perfect for our group!

Myself and six friends enjoyed Mermaid Manor over Memorial Day weekend and had a very positive experience. The home was clean, modern, very spacious, and exactly as pictured in the listing (if not better). With seven total adults we had plenty of beds and bathrooms. The kitchen and open living room area were large enough for all of us to hang out together, and the two huge decks were a nice place to have morning coffee or get a quick reprieve from the sun. The kitchen included a coffee maker, toaster, and crock-pot, and was stocked with paper towels and trash bags. One minor item to note is a couple cooking essentials (such as salt) were not available and the dish soap bottle was nearly empty, but overall the kitchen supported our needs well. We walked to the beach each day (about 10 minutes each way) and utilized the beach chairs provided with the home. We also walked to various restaurants and Wawa for a few essentials, so the home is very well located for all your needs. The homeowner was great to work with, providing entry instructions the morning of our arrival so we could enter easily. She allowed us to enter the home a little bit early as we beat the worst of the MDW traffic and arrived sooner than expected. Additionally, we appreciate that she returned the deposit very quickly after our departure.

We had an excellent stay at Mermaid Manor. Lyn's home was clean and well maintained. Lyn was a pleasure to work with and responded to our questions quickly. We (four couples) stayed here to attend a wedding and we were very comfortable. Linens and basic household goods were there upon our arrival, which was convenient and is hard to come by on LBI. We couldn't have asked for a better home. We only wish we could have stayed longer!

The house was extremely clean and fresh. Great location and views. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was perfect. Basement has ping pong table. Only wish that Lyn could have controlled the weather with as much attention to detail as she set up the house :). Would love to come again!!

We had a great time in LBI. We enjoyed this home. Spacious, very clean, and the owners very nice. The only comment I would make note is the house does not have cable television. So we could not watch live programming or current events.

Great common areas for the whole group to hang out as well as plently of privacy across both levels. 2 separate sitting rooms and outdoor decks.

The house was beautiful and spacious. The best part were the relaxing sunsets from the decks overlooking the bay.

The house is very nice. It has 2 separate living areas which is a great feature. Beautiful views of the sound. Close enough to the beach. The house was very clean and Lyn was really easy to work with. If we come back to LBI I will definitly book here again.

Beautiful house with two great decks! The top deck has an awesome view of the bay and it is where we ate our dinner meal every night. The house is in perfect condition and is a great place to share with family. Lots of space for entertaining. Short walk to playground by the bay and recreation area. Cannot wait to come back next year! Thanks Lyn for being such a great host and sharing your wonderful house with us!

My friends and I had a great time staying at the mermaid house in ship bottom. while the weather did not cooperate with us the weekend we were there, we still had fun hanging at the house and exploring LBI. everything was clean and the house was gorgeous. it is also in a great location (within walking distance of the beach!) would stay here again!

The house was clean and enjoyable, on a quiet street. The layout was great, and the upstairs deck afforded fantastic sunset views. The host was wonderful. Thank you Lyn!

We rented the house for a celebration. Plenty of room for 8. Great view. A little far to the beach. Already thinking about renting next year.

Look forward to returning! The hosts are friendly and very accommodating, made us feel very welcome to their home.

The house was on a nice quiet street, with views of Barnegat Bay. The bedrooms were comfortable and the shared living space was comfortable with two televisions. I loved the additional family room on the second floor. Two big decks - just a perfect beach house! Beautiful new kitchen..everything you need for a perfect beach vacation.
