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.

Very well stocked. The turquoise and mermaid theme was so fun. House is beautiful and comfortable too. Especially the beds. Boys loved pool table and board games. Wish we had more time to enjoy the house more but we’re there to watch the Kinetic race. Neighborhood is beautiful and tucked away in central location on Mckinleyvile inbetween Trinidad and Arcata/Eureka. They didn’t let us check in early so had to wait until 4 so that was only bummer.

My friends and family throughly enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid Cove. Incredible views from the house and many thoughtful touches throughout. The proximity to walking trails and the house having bicycles made it so easy for us to get out and enjoy the area. The house is SO quiet, spotless, and perfectly situated to access McKinleyville/Arcata/Trinidad and etc. I would highly recommend the Mermaid Cove and hope to stay there again in the near future!

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!!

It’s a nice rental but the lack of communication from the host and the bad customer service took what would have been a lovely vacation and made it irritating. The host never replied in a timely manner to any messages I sent through the app and left me waiting for weeks. I finally had to call just to get the details of how to get into the property because they would not reply to my messages and did not send the details as promised. When I asked for a late check out they were not accommodating at all when in my experience in the past that has not been an issue. The new standard of having check out time at 10 am and not being flexible on that is really unacceptable when considering how much these rentals are. At 10:00 on the dot a maid knocked on the door and fussed at us to leave already, I’ve never had such a bad experience at a VRBO. Having the maid show up to harass us was the most upsetting part, so unprofessional. I would not book this property or this host ever again

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 is the perfect place for a big group to stay together and enjoy the areas parks and towns. A group of friends met in McKinleyville to explore the parks, beaches and local shops/towns for 7 days. We couldn’t have asked for a better home base than Mermaid Cove. From the views to the house set up, we had everything to make this the perfect vacation together. With your own home banana slug mascot to the frogs singing at night and each morning to the waves breaking on the beach, we were in paradise. Redwoods National and State Park with its multitude of hiking paths, visitor centers, and beaches to explore close by, we had plenty to do in the area. You can’t go wrong with staying at Mermaid Cove.

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.

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.

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!

A very large, well stocked, and decorated house. The house comes with anything you would need. It is well maintained. The service from Vacasa was excellent. They immediately answered my questions about the garbage cans when I checked in. They also returned several items that my brother inadvertently left some item behind without a charge. Very much appreciated.

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.

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.

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 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.

Outstanding! Even better than the pictures. The mood was set from the moment we arrived. Jazz music, soft lighting, perfect temperature setting and amazing decor. We arrived shortly after sunset so we missed what I am sure was an amazing sunset but we enjoyed a different one each night there after. Great location right next to the Hammond Trail and close to Arcata, Eureka and Trinidad. It was so private, peaceful and relaxing but close enough to enjoy all the area has to offer (ocean and big trees) and so much more. We hated to leave each day because it was so relaxing but we also wanted to explore nature. This home has such attention to detail in everyway from the comfortable bed, the decor to everything you could possibly need to prepare your own meals. Loved the hot tub and playing pool. We enjoyed eating at Larrupin's in Trinidad for a delicious birthday meal. Also, enjoyed a Lua Lomi Massage in Arcata. The Vacasa staff was also very attentive to any questions that we had during our stay. I can't say enough about how wonderful this house was.
