Mermaid House was absolutely brilliant! If I could have given the location over 5 stars, I would have done. Communication was great, if I had a problem, it was responded to super fast. If I had questions about things, the response was always very friendly and informative.
In relation to some other reviews: Light switches are easy to find, all clearly marked. Beds are comfortable!
We loved the house which was a home from home. Really so lovely to stay in this old fashioned type wooden house and only a minute away from the beautiful coastline and Lover Point. I am an immature nature photographer and the nature here is off the scale! So lovely to just walk across the street and see Harbour seals, Great Egrets, Ground squirrels and even on a couple of day Sea otters too.
Locally there are many lovely places to eat. We really liked The Beach House at lover's Point (2 mins walk), Passionfish (8 mins walk) and Hulas (15 mins walk). There are supermarkets in easy reach too.
For Whale watching we preferred an operator out of Moss landing (30 mins drive) called Sanctuary Cruises. Its well worth travelling there and going out on their smaller boat. It is less crowded than some of the well advertised whale watches going out of Monterey Bay. The guys on board have great knowledge and their boat is so nice. All in all the smaller boat offered a much nicer experience. We saw Humpbacks, Orcas and Grey whales.
Mermaid House was such a great experience, thanks for having us, we would love to come back and stay!
