I've been renting a week at the Mermaid for the last 5 years. It's become like a second home to me and my husband. The owners, Jill and Scott, are wonderful. The cottage is completely charming and the view and location are perfect. It's within walking distance to OB, yet completely private and tranquil.

The Mermaid was everything we had hoped for. The view was amazing and the cottage was a dream...so wonderfully located.
We look forward to our next Vineyard visit and can't wait for that beautiful East Chop drive.
Owner's Response: We are so glad you chose Mermaid Boathouse to celebrate your birthday. We hope you will come again.

We had a wonderful stay at the "Mermaid
Boathouse" in June. It is in a perfect location- close
to Vinyard Haven, walking distance to Oak Bluffs, in
a quiet beautiful residential area. We loved our
daily walks along the Ocean and in the
neighborhood. The view from the house is
spectacular- across a pond to the Ocean and Sound
beyond. You can sit on the deck and watch the
ferries and other boats go in and out of Vinyard
Haven Harbor. The house is great- nicely furnished
with a large open living area and great bedrooms
with very comfortable beds. There is a fully
equipped kitchen that is small but extremely
functional. We had a great time cooking meals in
the kitchen and on the grill outside. Why go to a
restaurant when you have such an wonderful spot
to eat at your own house? We had many incredible
meals watching the sun set over the Sound. I hope
we can return to the "Mermaid Boathouse" this year!

We fell in love with Martha's Vineyard and the "Mermaid Cottage". It was so perfect. The cottage has a great location. We could take walks along the sea wall or walk into town.
The cottage was perfect for our family of 5. We had such a great time. The cottage is decorated so cute and has a great back porch to sit and read or just relax. We will be going back and hopefully and staying at Mermaid cottage.
The owner Jill was on of the nicest people I have ever dealt with. She was always helpful and gave us tons of useful information. You can't go wrong if you are lucky enough to stay at Mermaid Cottage
