Unable to stay at this VRBO
We were all set to stay at the mermaid house. All payments have been made, and then we were informed that these owners pulled out from this platform so we never were able to enjoy the mermaid house which made us very very disappointed. However, Vacasa stepped up to the plate and helped us find another place to stay at.

Such a charming place to spend the week!
This house was the perfect place for our family to gather for a week— plenty of space for everyone while still feeling cozy. The views were amazing, and we loved starting and ending our day on the deck watching the ocean!

Mermaid Paradise
My friends and family throughly enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid Cove. Incredible views from the house and many thoughtful touches throughout. The proximity to walking trails and the house having bicycles made it so easy for us to get out and enjoy the area. The house is SO quiet, spotless, and perfectly situated to access McKinleyville/Arcata/Trinidad and etc. I would highly recommend the Mermaid Cove and hope to stay there again in the near future!

Great space to be with family
The information for check-in and check-out were clear and easy. We loved the house. Large open space to hang out with a great kitchen. Nice that each bedroom had it's own private bathroom. Also, loved the hot tub and views. So easy to access the walking/biking trails and very easy to get on/off the highway to get to the house. Thanks so much!!

Excellent vacation spot
Beautiful house overlooking the ocean, just as described. Spacious, well-stocked, clean, super comfortable. A good central location for many of the sights. We loved walking the coastal trail right by the house. We will be happy to come back.

Amazing Beach House
We loved this house. It was perfect for our annual friends book vacation. We loved how spacious it was and enjoyed sitting on the porch (or in the hot tub) watching the ocean as we relaxed. The house was super clean and had everything we needed. Plus the beds are so comfortable we contacted the property manager to find out what mattresses they had. Overall amazing stay.

Perfect coastal retreat
Very well stocked. The turquoise and mermaid theme was so fun. House is beautiful and comfortable too. Especially the beds. Boys loved pool table and board games. Wish we had more time to enjoy the house more but we’re there to watch the Kinetic race. Neighborhood is beautiful and tucked away in central location on Mckinleyvile inbetween Trinidad and Arcata/Eureka. They didn’t let us check in early so had to wait until 4 so that was only bummer.

Beautiful House
When you first walk in the door you are greeted with amazing views. The house is very well stocked with everything you might need and more. The location is amazing with the River, the Ocean and Trails right out your front door. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. There is so many things to do two days was not enough time, we definitely have to go back.
