We stayed at the Mermaid Beach house for a couple nights in September to celebrate my sister's 30th birthday. I have to be upfront about a few things that negatively impacted our trip. First, the house itself is surrounded by dilapidated houses, dead dirt patches, and loads of power lines that block what would've been a killer view of the bay from the second story picture window. A close walk to Lover's Point Beach, yes, but also not the prettiest beach (there's this very large cement stairs structure that's all up in any photo op). The biggest grievance we had though was that on Tuesday morning of our stay we get woken up to several large dump trucks and construction vehicles plummeting into the alley (its a one way, one lane alley to the house) and get told that we have to move our car from in front of the house or get towed. The rest of the day we had to flee the house while they demo-ed the street. The street was shut down and left as dirt the entire stay making beach excursions and packing the car a terrible chore. Property management said they didn't know the construction would be happening and they credited us 15% off our stay, but you have to think, SOMEBODY had to have been given notice that this kind of construction would be occurring on these days, and either didn't inform property mgmt or there was carelessness from someone here. Either way, not a great trip. But thank you for a clean, well maintained house. We couldn't get the AC working though which further aggravated our stay with the construction trucks outside our open windows.
