Let me start by saying the location of the house is great. The deck is perfect, but my family enjoys sitting on the porch and listening to the waves and we couldn’t do that. There is a large machine on the beach that runs nonstop. The noise is absolutely unnerving. We should have been told about this. This was our family vacation for the year and could not enjoy being outside. Also, the house decorations are so outdated. There are stuffed dolls hanging in every corner of the sun room. The dining room table has a plastic table cloth with plastic mats. None of the wall pictures match just random things hung. The dishes were dirty. There are small rugs everywhere. The large rugs are dirty. The garbage was overflowing when we got there. And was that way for 3 days. Rats were in it one night. Overall not satisfied.

Perfect place for us all to gather. Loved the beach walks, sunrises. Hired a chef one night to serve us dinner and ate by the water. Thank you for great memories.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay! House was close to everything we needed and it was the perfect spot on the beach. We rode bikes to breakfast each morning and thoroughly enjoyed the house..especially the sunroom! Already planning to go back!

Staying at Mermaid memories was such a joy. The back porch and view of the ocean was breathtaking. We enjoyed every moment of our stay. Getting to walk right down to the beach each morning with our three kids was priceless. The house was clean and comfortable and very homey. We cooked in the kitchen each night of our stay and it was so easy ! We found shark teeth and hermit crabs on the beach and enjoyed the tide going in and out each day. We very much look forward to staying at Mermaid memories again !

One of the best houses we’ve ever rented. The view of the ocean from the sunroom and deck is amazing. The house was very clean and comfortable. It had two oceanfront king suites. The kitchen was well stocked. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate so we’re ready to go back.
