The apartment is charming, well taken care of. It’s a romantic spot, that offers all the comfort of a home. We received the right indications and the check in and check out processes have been smooth. Definitely recommended. ##### Bianca D. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lance P. 28 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Just the type of place we like. The deck had great views and most importantly the privacy fence blocked the prevailing north breezes. Made morning and evening pleasant enough as we had both morning coffee, breakfast, wine time and dinner outside even though fog prevailed on 2 days. Had an amazing sunset one evening. Inside was well decorated with nautical theme. Kitchen nicely stocked. Bathroom was very spacious. Didn't use the hot tub though owner had turned it on for us. And had no time for any TV. The loft was cozy. Had to watch our heads as ceiling was low at headboard end. Also, the staircase up to the loft was steep. Almost a ladder angle. Careful coming down. The quarters were warm enough without using the fireplace. Very good communications with the owner. Thanks! Would love to return! ##### Lance P.

What’s not to love? Steps to the loft where the bed is located could be treacherous if you need to get up often at night. Minimal indoor cooking capacity but… close to 2 good restaurants. Plenty to do, or just chill on the deck. ##### Dominique H. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jack M. 5 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful Tomales Bay getaway The unit was lovely, clean, cozy and peaceful. Amazing deck and hot tub, with views / sunsets across the bay. And, I think we were very fortunate since the houses/units on both sides of us were unoccupied, which made the space and setting that much more relaxing and felt like all our own for a weekend. Easy parking right in front. One very minor downside for us is that you cannot walk anywhere from here - it's a very narrow stretch of the road with little/no walking space - so we had to drive anytime we went out. ##### Jack M. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff S. 3 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Serene, bayside piece of heaven. I have stayed here before and it's just great. The host is a great communicator, the house is always as described and has amenities beyond a lot of hosts. Hot tub was clean and working, and the location is so, so, so quiet. If you plan on cooking a lot, I'd recommend you bring your seasonings, etc as the pantry is limited, but offered for free, so, hey, what are you gonna do? WiFi isn't the fastest, so using this as a 'Work From Remote,' spot may not be the best for videoconferencing. It's fine for email and watching a streaming service movie though. 5 stars and hope to be able to stay again in the future! ##### Jeff S.

Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer B. 2 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Mermaid House - Crew Quarters My partner and I chose this spot because it looked like a wonderful getaway from the stressors of life. When we arrived check-in was just as described. Fred made everything easy and all was explained in the folder of information. The loft bed was lovely and cozy…we ended up resting in the space one whole day - including cooking breakfast there. Definitely need to shoot for any food you want to cook or snacks in town since the location is about 9 miles outside of town. Also, when we were in the hot tub, the temp kept decreasing (hoping this is a quick fix since we definitely want to return and the stars at night are beautiful!). We were there on our own most of the time, but guests arrived for the Admiral’s Quarters the night before we left - no noise issues that we experienced, but that could vary I imagine? Clean-up and check out were a breeze as well. We had a wonderful time and hope to return here for another getaway soon! ##### Jennifer B.

This was our first visit to the Point Reyes station area, and we weren't quite sure what to expect. The lodging options were few and far between, and when we found the Mermaid Cottage, we were pretty excited- no frilly B&B atmosphere, right on the water, not too far (15 minute drive) from Pt Reyes Station. For the most part, the area and the cottage lived up to our expectations. Fred was very helpful from start to finish. The cottage was clean and cute, and with an unbeatable location on the water. We had been advised before booking that the sleeping area was in a loft space, with a low ceiling and accessed by a steep stair/ladder -it all worked out well for us, but the ladder might pose some challenges for some guests. A few aspects of the cottage could use some upgrades which would make it more enjoyable: It could really use a new tv, maybe add an iPod docking station or Bluetooth speaker, and replace the oldest appliances in the kitchen. Also, the folder with helpful local contacts/businesses was from 2006, so not too helpful. Given the seemingly high nightly rate, maybe we just expected more. It wouldn't take much to make this cottage worth every penny- it really is a great spot for a weekend getaway to a beautiful area. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit overall . ##### jenifer b. ### 8/10 Good #### sara b. 30 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quaint little house by the bay Stayed here for a week and it has a beautiful view of the bay. You are literally on the water with access to the dock. Definitely took advantage of that and the water on the really hot days. Only suggestion would be to have an umbrella on the deck for those (me) who can't stay out in the sun all day. Would be nice to still be on the deck but out of the direct sun. The hot tub although small, can fit two people comfortably, was nice to use in the evenings and early morning before it got hot. Keep in mind the house although cute, is small. So don't plan on going with a group. In that case, rent their other suite next store, the Admirals Quarters. The kitchen is also small, tiny sink, no oven only a small toaster oven, and two electric burners. It can be hard to maneuver especially when cooking a full on meal. But it gets the job done. It is also not really mentioned, but the stairs leading up to the bedroom loft are pretty steep. We couldn't take any of our luggage up there because we just didn't feel safe trying to lug everything up and down those stairs, which almost felt more like a ladder. But the windows do have a nice view of the bay when you wake up and all in all it is cute area to sleep. The sofa also folds out into a bed if needed. All in all its a small cute suite but you are definitely paying for the view. They were also accommodating to a request we had which we were grateful for minus some communication issue early on in our stay. Thank you for the stay! ##### sara b.

The cottage is comfortable and quiet. We did communicate with the owner a couple of times. He was very responsive and accommodating. ##### Martha C.

Reyes area a few times before, but this was the first time right on the water. It is a delightful setting, and convenient to everything on the east side of Tomales Bay. The kitchen was adequate for such a short stay, and for the two of us. The bed was wonderful. ##### Jonathan S. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ---
