Mermaid's Wake

Mermaid's Wake
5 of 5
Submitted: September 21, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
Our stay at Mermaid's Wake was for a week. The owners were very hospitable and caring and provided everything necessary for a stress free vacation. The interior was well stocked and very clean. The exterior allowed for maximum enjoyment of both sun and beach with easy beach access and a deck that was spacious and allowed great views in all directions. The deck also had speakers attached and we were able to enjoy music through the sound system provided. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.

summer stay

House is situated close to beach but be ready for trucks runnig up and down the beach all day/night. We waited entire week for the internet wifi to be fixed, and we were told repeatedly that someone was coming to look at it, but it still wasn't working when we left on Suday. We were offered a small refund, but check was smaller than stated when recieved.
House is well stocked with suplies, and we had frequent wild horse sightings.
Recommended for:  Pet-friendly
Owner's Response: What a terrible situation with the Internet. After trouble shooting all week long it was finally determined that the line was cut out by the road. I thought the owners were very generous to offer a $50 refund for something that was totally outside their control. ~ Karen

Wonderful Vacation

5 of 5
Submitted: June 19, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
We loved it!! It was a perfect vacation in a beautiful, cozy bungalow! Home was well equipped with everything we needed, comfortable beds, cleaning supplies to start with, a great variety of seasonings to cook with, plenty of space for a family. Home was clean and smelt like fresh sea air! It was very enjoyable! We had lots of visits from the horses right in the backyard, they loved the grass! Got some great pictures, can't wait to come back! We will definetly be staying at the Mermaids Wake again!!! Hopefully sooner then later!

Owner's Response: Wow, thank you for the kind words! Most folks do find Mermaid's Wake a terrific spot for a quiet family get-away.

In reference to the guests that stayed for Thanksgiving, we had been at the house for a couple of weeks tearing out both bathrooms, as they were damaged from the previous summer. The house was not, at the time, available for rent. We take great pride in our house and work very hard to provide our guests with a clean, affordable, well stocked house to vacation at. At the time that the guest wanted to come and vacation, our house was not ready and had only one working bathroom. We are a pet friendly house and typically we ask that people either pick up, hose down or cover the feces before they leave, sometimes, this is forgotten. However, it was an oversight on my part as we were trying to finish up the house for the guests arrival. I apologize for the inconvenience. As for the rugs, they were clean and we also have extra rugs in the hall closet if needed. As always, if you have a problem, questions or comments, please contact Karen or Dean, the managers and they will assist you immediately! Also, we always welcome any suggestions you might have in refernce to the house. These suggestions can be emailed to Karen and we will do our best to consider them and implement them if necessary/practical.

Smoke and dog crap

2 of 5
Submitted: November 27, 2011 Stayed: November 2011
Overall we were pleased with our stay, the house is perfectly adequate and comfortable for a couple or small family, and is in a great location on the beach. However, there were some issues with housekeeping for our stay that left us quite disappointed. These things are probably not an issue during the summer season, when the house is primarily occupied by renters and cleaned regularly. Our stay for the week of Thanksgiving was immediately preceded and followed by visits by the owner, who is a smoker. We were horrified by the odor when we arrived, and it took a good 8 hours with all the windows open to air the place out. The backyard was left covered in dog piles, which created an odor problem of their own on the warm and sunny days. Also, while the majority of the house appeared neat and clean notwithstanding the smoke odor, the bathroom floor and rugs were left covered in hair and I had to wash the rugs myself before we could use them. We were expecting, paid for and should have received a clean and odor free place to stay, and sadly that's not what we got! It definitely put a damper on an otherwise great vacation.
