Our stay at 'Mermaid's Pillow' was nothing short of amazing! The check-in process was super easy and the house was spotless. The location is perfect since it's just steps from a crosswalk and quick beach access. The pool was perfect to relax in after a day at the beach. The decor is so well thought out and just adds to this being a perfect beach house. The host was very attentive to any questions we had. All of this combined made our stay a 5 star experience and we will be back!
