We enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid's Delight in Pacific Grove. The location was perfect for our goal to be near Monterrey (a little over a mile walk) and Carmel (a short drive) without the feeling of being in a congested tourist area. The Mermaid's Delight provided the perfect refuge after a long day with the kids at the nearby beaches, tide pools, shops, restaurants, etc... Our daughters ages 11 and 8 shared the bed room with the hideaway bed comfortably and the upstairs bedroom was private and comfortable with the sounds of the ocean as background noise when the windows were open. We were able to save some money on meals by making our own breakfast and lunch in the kitchen. As other reviews have noted, the bathroom and in particular the shower is small with a low shower head. We knew this from the reviews so we came with this expectation and it wasn't a problem. There is no bathtub. We found the nearby area of Pacific Grove to be convenient with a decent selection of family friendly restaurants that were walk-able but also sufficient parking if needed. There is a wonderful path from Pacific Grove to Monterey and the Monterey Bay Aquarium and nearby shops. You can rent bikes from the nearby Lovers Beach or stroll along the path as we did. We took the path to go check out the Aquarium. We loved our 5 days in Pacific Grove would definitely look stay again sometime.
