2024 beach week
Property was in good shape. The kitchen was fully stocked with utensils and dishes. The front porch was really nice (except for the mosquitoes). The main complaint was that the king beds need to be replaced. The owner charges a cleaning fee, but requests that the property be cleaned before you leave.

This is the third time we stayed at this house. It is in a perfect location to go to all the local beaches. The house is roomy and beds are very comfortable. It has all the things you need to make a good meal. Even has a keurig. Very comfortable house.

This is the second time we stayed at this house. Bedrooms are great and the beds are very comfortable. Love the two living rooms. Kids hook up their game system in one and we can watch tv in the other room. Bedroom tv is a bonus. Kitchen well stocked.

Great Home / Great Location
The house was nice and as advertized, however the Primary Air Conditioner stopped working on morning of second day and was not repaired until the evening of the last night we stayed. We were all VERY hot and the owner just kept saying the room air conditioner shoul keep you cool. It did NOT !!

Oak Street Mermaid Beach House
We had a lovely stay here. It was quiet and spacious, nice neighborhood. We loved the big front porch and so did our 2 little doggies. The new outdoor shower was a great addition. The only issue was a problem with the bedding from the previous guests stripping all the beds when they checked out. We would suggest you having a binder that contains all the important information about the house for guests to refer to. We hope to return to visit the Delaware beaches next summer. The owner was very helpful with answering questions and responding to texts.

Week in July 2022
The Mermaid beach house was comfortable. We loved the large front porch, plenty of seating. Was nice for the morning cup of coffee enjoyment. The two living room areas were accommodating and allowed for extra seating for games and conversation. The Master bedroom was spacious. Only negative is the back steps were awkward and old. Owner did share with us that a new deck is planned for out back. Would recommend the Mermaid beach house to others if basic comforts is what you are looking for.

Good place to stay!
We spent a very enjoyable 2 weeks with our dog, visiting friends and family. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. It is located close enough to the beaches but in a nice quiet neighborhood. We liked the way the house was separated into 2 living areas. Cliff was very responsive to all of our questions. My only complaint was the small ants in the kitchen. (I can’t stand ants!). I would recommend this property to anyone who wants a pet friendly, spacious house.

Return to the Beach
We had a great time at the beach. We hadn't been to the Beach in Over 2 years and it is one of our favorite places. Accommodations were great. Ability to use their sheets made packing for our family very easy. Great locations to shops, was easily able to get to the beach as we enjoy going to DSSP and not a far drive to Millville to hit BJs for supplies. Great Trip.

Excellent place to stay! Quite, lovely neighborhood, easy to get to. Close to everything. Fully stocked kitchen, everything you will need and then some! If you forgot something for the beach, it’s likely there for you to borrow. We loved the Big covered porch with ceiling fans and plenty of seating! Very nice owners and easy to get ahold of.

Know before you book
After cancelation point we received check in info. This stated that we were responsible to clean sheets prior to check out or rent or bring our own. Morning of check out we had to make all the beds with their linens. We were told to make sure that the house was cleaner then we found it. If the propane ran out on the grill or oven we would be responsible to refill. The house had many maintenance issues, but nothing that made our stay not enjoyable, we believe if you pay a cleaning fee that we should not have to clean the house. We did enjoy the house and the neighbors were great. Just be more honest about cleaning up front.
