Another great Trip to Pelee Island at Mermaid on Lorain. This is our third stay and it was amazing. The place was spotless when we arrived for check in. The location on the Island is amazing with some of the best sandy beach front on the Island. The house is very nice and had a lot of the essentials. We look forward to going back next year!

We were very pleased with the property! A few minor things that did not detract from our overall impression - barbeque had not been cleaned and propane tank felt that it was nearing empty but property manager remedied that by quickly delivering a new full tank and brush to clean barbeque. Pump on water cooler not working properly. Also fire pit had not been cleaned out by previous guests, but it was either to windy or too hot/humid to have a bonfire anyway! Everything you could imagine was there for use, except we did not find a fly swatter, which would have come in handy due to some pesky biting flies. We would highly recommend the property. And it was nice to have the property manager, Madeleine and her husband nearby; they were very kind and accommodating.

Great floor plan, great location. Easy check in and check out.

The site is beautiful and the cottage is well outfitted. The host and property manager were helpful. However, we were surprised to be expected to clean the cottage thoroughly, to wash, dry and put away linens and towels and to take garbage to the waste station OR pay an additional (although reasonable) cleaning fee. That was not clear when we booked. We also had to pay for water even though the tap water was not tested.
6.0
Location on the water was excellent, with beautiful sunrise, but read on:
We lost use of the cottage for 11 hours in the middle of our two day stay, so no wifi, not able to cook, no water so could not wash,.....had to haul water from the lake to flush toilets. When I requested some compensation for loss of use and enjoyment - the owner said to call Hydro. How absurd.
I also urge everyone to read the 'Rules & Helpful Tips to Make Your Vacation Enjoyable' especially the last bullet point (24 items) as it directs to make it ready for the next customer, including washing sheets and making up beds, mop floors, scrub sinks, clean toilets etc.
With no power until 10:00, spend all Sunday morning cleaning and washing.

Being on the beach was a huge plus, and the cottage did have room for all six of the adults in my group to get along comfortably. There were a few minor things that differed from the listing, but nothing that could spoil our stay. The house was quite clean but also had quite a few spiders - we seemed to be the first guests of the season so again, not a deal breaker. My group is already planning a return to the island, as this was our first time visiting and we loved it!

I have been going to Pelee Island since the 80's and this is the second stay at Mermaid on Lorain. The location on the Island is amazing with some of the best sandy beach front on the Island. The house is very nice and had a lot of the essentials. We look forward to going back next year!

This was the second time my friends and I stayed at this cottage and we had a blast! The only thing that we had trouble with was the cleaning process at the end of our stay. My friends and I spent half of the day before and the morning of our check out date cleaning and we still somehow got charged with a cleaning fee. The only thing we forgot was to take out the garbage, which is a $10 fee but we also got charged another $30 for an hour of interior cleaning even when we had left the house cleaner than we received it. I understand the garbage charge but my friends and I should not have been charged that extra $30.

Great little place right on a sandy beach! We were there for the pelee half and made a vacation out of it by staying an extra few days. Very worth it!

House as advertised. Rooms were big with air conditioners in the bedroom. Fit our family of six perfectly. Nice location and view of the water however there were lots of burs on the property so be cautious if you have little kids and make sure to wear shoes even on the beach. As many reviewers commented there were many black flies that bite.
Also, you need to clean the house yourself and wash the bedsheets and towels before leaving so we brought our own sheets and towels to avoid this.

Very nice and great experience overall!

The house is very spacious and cozy and has everything you might need. The view of Lake Erie is amazing, we felt like we were at the ocean. It was like having our own private beach, we only saw a couple of people walk by during our entire stay. The sunrises and sunsets on this island are amazing! We plan to visit again.

The beachfront at this property is amazing. Watching the sunrise and the moon rise daily was incredible.
It was very unusual to have to do laundry at the end of the stay.

We had a wonderful time at the Mermaid of Lorain. The cottage is comfortable and nice and the sound of the waves at night is so peaceful. The kids loved swimming and playing in the sand. It's a really beautiful place.

We are life-long Pelee people who just needed some extra space as a bunch of family came in at the same time. This cottage is on some of the best beach area of the island and had all we that was needed to accommodate our family (of 5) and my brother's family (of 4).

Perfect for the weekend!
My friends and I stayed for the weekend of the Pelee Island Half Marathon and enjoyed our time very much! Plenty of places to sleep. Beds were comfortable. The location and the beach are gorgeous! Lots of room to spread out with it being a 2-story. Would love to go back again!

Cute cottage with beautiful view
The cottage was easy to find & checkin to. The property managers greeted us and were very friendly and informative. We brought our own sheets to make the cleanup process quicker since we were leaving so early in the morning. My only complaint is there are a lot of bugs and black flies in the morning that attacked my friends and I for our morning walk on the beach but we lived! Loved the access to the beach right in the backyard. The place was very tidy when we showed up and we left it tidy when we checked out.

Beautiful beach, quiet surroundings, other than the sound of the waves and birds singing

Lovely location on Sunset Beach. This cottage has most of the basics for a comfortable stay. However, prepare for a long morning of cleaning and laundry before you leave. A surprise, page long list of cleaning requirements was not mentioned in the listing. We had to haul our own garbage off the island. Cottage was full of spiders, dead bugs, and cobwebs. BBQ did not work. No shampoo provided. This place could be nice with some maintenance and cleaning. Generally did not live up to the expectations created by the listing and price point

Wonderful stay!
This is a very relaxing and quiet place to come for a vacation from the busy-ness of life! We stayed here last summer and enjoyed it so much we came back again this year. Since last year, great to have the addition of chairs that are suitable for around the campfire and the privacy added to one of the bedrooms upstairs!
Thanks for a great stay!
