About this house rental
Salty Mermaid puts you just a few steps away from the Pacific Ocean. Here you can sit on the deck and watch the waves lap at the beach, while you sip your morning coffee or evening beverage.
ABOUT SALTY MERMAID
On a chilly morning, when it's too cool to enjoy your coffee outside, the huge living room windows offer a virtually unobstructed view to the sea, plus there are cozy couches to curl up in. In the evening, you can binge watch your favorite television shows on the large flat screen television or gather round the dining room table for a board game with the kids.
The generous kitchen boasts all you'll need for a big vacation breakfast or hearty evening feast, including pots, pans, dishes and flatware. If you're a barbeque affectionado, the gas grill on the deck will satisfy that need. Six people are easily accommodated at the dining table and, if needed, another three at the breakfast bar.
MORE ABOUT SALTY MERMAID
Three bedrooms offer plenty of comfortable sleeping space. Two feature king-sized beds and one has two twins. A Murphey bed in the living room expands the sleeping area for another two guests. From two of the downstairs bedrooms, you can step right out onto the patio to enjoy the morning salt air. In addition, two full bathrooms and a half bath ensure there's no waiting for a shower or bath.
Anytime of the year, the hot tub invites you to relax at the end or your day.
ABOUT PACIFIC BEACH
Booking one of our properties in Pacific Beach? In this little community centrally located in Grays Harbor, you'll find an array of seaside activities for you and your friends/family to enjoy.
Fly a kite in a contest, build a sand sculpture or go sea kayaking. There are numerous nearby state parks that are perfect for hiking, surfing or just an afternoon stroll along the beach.
During the Spring and Summer, you'll be able to dig for clams or go crabbing. If it's warm enough, take a surfing lesson or go fishing so you can catch something for dinner later!
Visiting us during the colder months is perfectly okay, too. There are beachside restaurants and museums between Pacific Beach and Ocean Shores that will keep you busy while still being able to enjoy those stunning views.

This was a nice clean house. The view was wonderful and we loved listening to the ocean. It got a bit hot inside the house even though it wasnt very hot outside. They did have fans in every room so that helped! Other than that it was a great trip!
5.0
This house was perfect for our annual beach trip. The house was just as described, very clean, with surprise amenities and small comforts like box fans if it got warm at the end of the day (if you know pnw beaches, you know!) Everything worked well, the beds were comfortable, and the view was amazing. This house made our trip so much more comfortable and we will definitely be back again! (Note: We didn't use the hot tub so I cannot attest to that part, but I'll definitely be trying it out next time!)

There were numerous issues with cleanliness and the condition of the home when we arrived (dryer still running, downstairs floors wet, had to kill a dozen flies, no screens on doors to help cool down the home, missing a large window shade in the living room, the pillow cases & comforter were stained in the upstairs bedroom, basic cooking utensils were falling apart, flickering bathroom light upstairs, garbage & recycling containers were full, the lower level shower did not drain, not to mention very loud neighbors up until 4am for 2 of our 3 nights). NEVER had this bad of an experience with a Vrbo property before. VERY disappointed.
5.0
We had a 10 night stay. Beautiful home. Comfortable furnishings. Plenty of seating. Well stocked kitchen. 2 Roku TV's. A Wii wth games in the room with twin beds. They also have supplies to make a fun day at the beach with chairs, 2 ice chests, and sand toys. Beautiful views. We didn’t use the hot tub. My family had a wonderful stay. Definitely would return.
5.0
The house was well equipped and appointed. The downstairs bedrooms were chilly but they provided an electric heater which solved any issues. The kitchen had plenty of dishes and all the needed appliances. The bathrooms were clean and well equipped with towels and soap. We did not use the laundry. WiFi worked fine. Parking was a little tight for two cars. While there is a 2 car garage they ask that it not be used.

My daughter and a friend and I wanted to do an intensive writing long weekend somewhere quiet, and this house was perfect! Near the amenities (such as they are, in Seabrook). Not far from the beach but access was hard to find, and probably half a mile from the house. Two minute drive. Nice place to write for a few days.
5.0
Our stay was wonderful. The only glitch was the first night when the smoke detector kept beeping. Someone came out late that night and fixed the problem. Thanks for the help. the rest of the stay was amazing, and we have many happy memories. I recommend this place for anyone looking to relax and make memories.

This was our second stay at the Salty Mermaid. It’s a great house for our group. Spacious and bright.
Has a well stocked kitchen with all the basics.
The main room is spacious and bright has a nice view of ocean. Plenty of space to hang out. Big dining table so all can eat together or play games.
Will definitely book again.

We were looking for a different Christmas experience this year and the property was perfect. It was just as advertised and was a great fit for our family.
4.0
We are a group of six (3 retirees) who are traveling through Oregon, Washington, and Vancouver Island. The house was very clean and the layout worked well for us. It was well equipped. The only real complaint is that the property is fenced all around and connects with navy property so the access to the beach was down the road a ways and was fairly steep (a problem for my husband who has hearty issues). The parking is also very hard to maneuver but otherwise it worked out ok for us.
5.0
This property was extremely clean and had everything we needed for our family. With my husband and I, two teens and a 5 year old there was plenty of stuff to keep them entertained during the rain when the beach wasn’t really an option. Plenty of beds for a large group, and enough for a small group to be choosy on where to sleep. Loved the hot tub after a long day at the beach. Was very accommodating for our Labrador, and even had food and water bowls for the dog. I’d recommend to bring your own laundry detergent if you are wanting to make sure all your laundry is done for a trip home, but other than that they had everything we needed. Had a ton of kitchen gadgets and dinner ware to accommodate cooking at the house. Would visit again!

Loved the house! Spacious, clean, comfortable beds, great layout, nice hot tub and wonderful view! One drawback was that there was no direct beach access. Worked out well though because we just drove our cars down and parked for the day.
5.0
We enjoyed our stay here so much. It was quiet, peaceful and oh so beautiful! Don't expect to have much cell reception or internet connectivity. That is not necessarily a bad thing, just something to be prepared for. We enjoyed disconnecting for a few days and reconnecting as a family!

Lovely house. Great views. Comfortable beds. A bit disappointed that there was no access to the garage (in order to plug in my electric vehicle over night).

Nice place! Clean!! Only bad thing was the hot tub was cold, so we weren’t able to get in it but we still have to pay for a cleaning fee:(

The home is in a small development in Pacific Beach. Everything was as advertised. Nice hot tub. Be sure to visit the town just up the road—Seabrook—which is very upscale and has several restaurants and a nice market.
5.0
The Salty Mermaid was a perfect place for our family to beat the Winter blues and relax by the ocean. The home has a wonderful view of the ocean from the front room. A beachy mermaid theme is throughout the house. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need for cooking. The large table was an excellent place for family games.
We appreciate that there was plenty of room for our three families, the dog, and a toddler. Beach access is very close to the home. Seabrook is a short drive.
Bedrooms were excellent. The hot tub was nice to use and warm up in after windy, rainy ocean walks. We look forward to staying again when it is sunny and warm. The ample deck would be great to watch sunsets from in the evenings.
Parking is a bit tight, but manageable. Check in and check out was great. Thanks to By the Sea rentals.

Had a great time!
We spent memorial weekend at the Salty Mermaid. It is a very nice well appointed spacious house and the 6 of us and two dogs had plenty of room.
The view is very nice although slightly obstructed. Its a short 1/4 mile walk to the beach and you can also drive your car there along the same road. It was nice to get back from a cold wet walk on the beach and sit in the hot tub. Nice large table for all to eat or play games at. Kitchen was nice with enough basics to feed your crew along with a decent gas bbq on the deck.
Internet is DSL so don't plan on lots of people streaming all at once but its good for watching a movie together checking email etc.
About the Area
Beaches are great to walk and some you can drive onto.
There are no decent grocery stores close by. A couple of small ones for forgotten basics. Nearest true grocery store is about 30-40 min aways.
Cellular service. There is no mobile pretty much in the whole area. ATT had a couple of bars. Not sure about Verizon or others. Make sure and get entry directions before you get there. Mine went to junk email so check that before you leave as cell service in the area is bad to non existent. I had been looking for mail from vrbo but the instructions come from another company.
Parking is a little tight we managed to get 3 medium sized vehicles squeezed together in the driveway. Any more than that you are out of luck.
If you need a place for 6-8 people that takes pets I highly recommend it.

Not exactly what I signed up for.
I wanted a hot tub, The owner knew I wanted a hot tub.. They serviced it the day before maybe because of the previous renter. We were unable to use the hot tub until the second night and it still wasn't hot enough. Very disappointed. its a beautiful rental. but I expect what I pay for and so not really happy about that unit.
