We really enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid House- beautiful house, great location, and amazing host! My friend and I had a lot of beaches, restaurants and shopping in we wanted to do in Pacific Grove, Monterey and Carmel so it was perfect! I would stay here again and wish we had another friend to make use of the 3rd bedroom.
Lovers Point just around the corner is so nice and we enjoyed a lot of local tips from Thomas- especially for dog friendly trails and beaches. We were very comfortable when we had to stay in for cold/rain and got some amazing weather too. If you stay here- eat at PassionFish and hit Point Lobos trail! (Thomas will tell you ;)
