Well decorated and well stocked . Close to the beach. Great patios and cool sea breezes!

Had an excellent stay in this lovely cottage, very responsive and helpful owners.

This cottage is so cute and is in a fantastic location. My husband and I loved the outdoor area and sat out there every morning to have our coffee. There are several excellent restaurants less than a mile away, and it’s only a few minutes drive to the 5 freeway. The neighborhood is quiet and the check in, check out process is simple. Highly recommend!

This is a great cozy place to stay in Dana Point. Walkable distance to our favorite restaurants. House had everything we needed. Carla is super easy to work with. This house just became one of our go-to homes to rent in the area.

Colorful...Comfortable...Convenient! We loved staying a week at the Mermaid Cottage! The wall paint and decor were colorful and cheery which felt like a beach getaway for sure. Very uplifting even though it was cloudy and cool our whole stay. Which was fine with us...we enjoyed the firepit and patios everyday and night when we stayed in. Loved the personal touches which made it a comfortable home away from home. You really don't need to bring much...just grab your beach wear, get some groceries nearby and you are set. Carla was such a pleasure and responded quickly whenever I had a question. Overall great stay...hope to stay again soon! The Mermaid Cottage is so close to the Harbor...a three min drive really. Our son fished everyday out of Dana Wharf Sportsfishing harbor on their boats. They have many options to fish for all ages and skill! So close to everything! Enjoy it all...you will be glad you did.

The house was very clean, comfortable, well stocked, and wonderfully located close to harbor, shops, restaurants, and walking paths. Communication with Carla was great! She was easily reachable and very responsive. We'll definitely be back!

We would stay here again for sure. Really nice place, walking distance into Dana Point's main attractions. The house was great, the furnishings were pretty low end though. The 3rd bedroom is more of an office connected to the 2nd bedroom but that was fine for us. Was wonderful having the driveway and garage because street parking is a premium in this crowded neighborhood. Booking and the property manager were terrific.

Nicely furnished home. Outdoor spaces all nice as well.

Beautiful property within walking distance to the Dana Point harbor. Perfect for allowing us to work remotely and enjoy all that southern CA has to offer. Property manager was very helpful and appreciated her responsiveness.

The house has a nice big deck in the front. Could use some new cushion covers as they were a bit worn. The neighborhood is ok. A lot of rental type buildings in the neighborhood, so street parking is hard to find. The garage is nice to have. It was challenging at night to know which driveway to take to get to the garage. Walking to the beach isn’t that close. We ended up driving to Salt Creek, much nicer than the close ones. We liked the restaurants in San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente best.

A place to make wonderful memories. Everything you could ever need is here!!

We had a good time at this property! Very clean and inviting ! Loved the garage and the hot tub! The beds were also very comfortable! Close to the beach as well! We would def stay again !

Love the kitchen area, all you need to bring is your clothes and the meals you want to prepare, everything else is provided. Some of the deco in the other rooms are very eccentric and a little overboard. Also the parking can be an issue in the neighborhood especially if you’re having guests over. All in all… it’s a cozy place to stay!

Love this location! The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The garage is an added bonus as the parking spots on the streets at night can be full. The short walk to the harbor is great and there are plenty of restaurants in the area to walk to also. The three different outside areas were fun also! Great house!

We love to bike and easy access bike trail. Easy walking distance to coffee, restaurants and markets. Was perfect!

This truly was a home away from home. The property has all the amenities you need for home cooking, entertainment, and relaxation.

We really enjoyed our stay. We felt at home immediately. It’s obvious a lot of time and care has been put into making the house as comfortable as possible for guests. It had everything we could have needed. Also, location of the garage is a plus making it very easy to bring in suitcases, groceries, etc. We hope to return.

This property was immaculate; the decor, cleanliness and appointments were top-notch. Inclusion of every possible necessity for travelers was a delight to discover. Carla’s attention to detail was absolutely astounding. The kitchen was stocked with every conceivable gadget and so very well appointed. Our delight cannot be overstated! We will absolutely be back!

We enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid Cottage very much. It was all it as advertised to be and more. The two front patios were great especially since we had wonderful weather. It was a short walk to shops and dining and only a short ride to the harbor with more shopping and restaurants. The property manager, Carla, was very helpful and answered all our questions promptly. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Everything far exceeded our expectations which were pretty high given the other reviews. The house was the perfect size for 4 adults, it was clean and well appointed and comfortable. The outdoor living spaces were the icing on the cake for us-we had beautiful weather. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were updated as well as the kitchen-which had everything we needed for ourselves and when we entertained some friends. We also loved that everything was in walking distance-restaurants, the marina, the beach and the paths were clean and well maintained. Dana Point really is a lovely beach community with clean beaches and lots of surfers to watch. Carla is a responsive property manager and helped with restaurant and beach recommendations. I also appreciated that the owner provided beach chairs, beachtowels and an umbrella. I would stay there again in a heartbeat-loved it!

We had a great stay at The Majestic Mermaid house. It was well stocked with anything you’d need. Carla the Property Manager was great and very responsive. Great location.

As usual, we seek out properties that Carla manages because we trust her organization, keen eye, taste, style and attention to detail. The Mermaid cottage was just darling! Great location, quiet, impeccably decorated and containing all the amenities that we needed. Well stocked kitchen, bathrooms, firm comfortable beds, quality linens and towels, plenty of hangers, dining table essentials, soaps and even buggy boards and beach towels. The condo had a raised deck with a lounge area and a dining table that we especially enjoyed. Walking distance to the Dana Point Harbor and to Strands beach. Highly recommend!

This is a lovely cozy home. The front deck was great for evening wine or working during the day. Close walk to parks and harbor (if you don't mind a hill on the way back). Hot tub was an added bonus, I didn't even see that in the listing. Driveway is tight so don't bring a huge SUV, but very appreciated as street parking is crowded.

We enjoyed the house. We were a little surprised at the neighborhood!! We had EVERYTHING we needed provided at the house! The beds were very comfy! Dana Point has "Lots to Offer"

We were at this house for about 3 months from Jan 2021 till April 1 2921What a great place! The house is immediately comfortable and eclectically decorated. The three outdoor areas including the front deck,, the grilling and fire pit and the backyard hot tub add just the right amount of relaxation and privacy.The house is close to the ocean and a short walk to the marina.

We had a wonderful time. The house was charming and had everything we needed. Carla was great to work with. All around great experience.

Dana Point was an excellent choice for a long weekend stay in sCal. This property was great location to access all the sites.

This was a terrific place for us to stay while visiting with our son and his family in Dana Point! The beds were comfortable and we were able to retreat from our son's home when we wanted our space. We also hosted our granddaughter to an overnite, a big teat!

Very nice place to indulge yourself. Couple blocks from the ocean. The patio so nice. Definitely recommend to all. Super value with superb stay

This house was amazing! So close to restaurants, shops, (Ralph's within walking distance) and the harbor. The house was extremely well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Wish we could have stayed longer to take advantage of all the amenities. The house decor is so fun! We especially loved the "Clock Wall" with the "hidden message" We figured it out on our last day, finally! Checking in and out was a breeze. Carla was great! The house is very comfortable, great beds with plenty of pillows, towels and linens etc. We traveled with another couple and all of us agreed we would definitely recommend the Mermaid Cottage! What a great stay! We'll be back for sure!

Beautifully decorated home, wonderful patios, clean, comfortable beds. Well stocked kitchen and great location. The WiFi was a bit weak. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay & would highly recommend the Mermaid Cottage.
