Jamie is just lovely - very personable and communicative. She definitely makes her guests feel comfortable and welcome. The Mermaid Room was perfect for me for a getaway weekend. I briefly met the other guests in the house, but other than that, I felt like I had the house to myself. The bathroom is small and, in particular, the shower stall is quite small, so you might consider this if you are a particularly large person. There is a bit of traffic during the morning and daytime, but it quiets down at night -- with the windows open, you can hear the ocean in the distance at night -- a definite plus for me.
