We (6 adults, 5 kids ranging from 11 months to 6 years) spent five nights at the Mermaid House and really enjoyed our time. The house was clean. The location is great, in between Pacific Beach and La Jolla and close to I-5. Lots of good food around, beaches were a short drive away. The views from the deck and master bedroom were spectacular. The kids room was a big hit. The kitchen was top of the line. The driveway is narrow but easy to maneuver if you’re careful. The signs from the neighbors expressing their displeasure with having a rental unit in a residential neighborhood certainly did their job in making us be extra careful and I would certainly not recommend this house for anyone looking to host a loud party. But we didn’t have any negative interactions with any actual neighbors. Note that the hot tub is on the lower level of the house and not accessible from inside the house. It also puts you street level with a view towards the hostile neighbors, so it was a little awkward and we didn’t end up using it. Overall we enjoyed our time in the Mermaid House and would recommend it to another family with kids.
