As always, communication is spot on with property managers going above and beyond expectations whenever problems arrive! Laurie is always kind, friendly, and efficient! House is large enough for big family gatherings to fit easily and comfortably, kitchen is extremely well-appointed, and decorations, especially for the holiday, are perfect. We love this place!!

Thanksgiving Break
This has been by far the most smoothest VRBO we have been in. Also this property is perfect in every way. The house was clean and very functional. The kids had an amazing time in the heated pool. Laurie the host met us there, showed us the ropes and was very pleasant. We will definitely be reaching out to continue our Thanksgiving Vacation with Mermaid By The Sea.

Beautiful estate with room floor everyone
I can’t say enough good things about this property and Laurie. We had a group of 12, from 2 to 75 years old. There was enough space for everyone to be together and be apart - which was really important. House had everything you could possibly need. Plan to stay here next year!

Mermaid Magic
Our family of 6 adults and 4 young children really enjoyed our get together at the mermaid house. The home is spacious and well maintained and the kitchen is stocked with everything you could ask for. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space for everyone. It is in a lovely part of Oceanside with a quick drive to the sandy beach at the pier. We all enjoyed the pool and our 4 year old granddaughter actually learned to swim there. Laurie was great to work with and answered all inquiries promptly. We made lots of memories and are grateful for our time at the mermaid house.

The perfect place!
This beautiful property is even better in person than it looks in the photos. Sparkling clean, with tons of gorgeous natural light, ocean views, multiple outdoor and indoor sitting areas, comfy and quiet bedrooms, and a stunning kitchen that has everything you could ever need. Our group of 7 adults was comfortable and never crowded. The pool and jacuzzi are divine. You are one block from the ocean, and conveniently located near great restaurants. Laurie was lovely and completely responsive to all our questions and requests. We feel really lucky to have found this beautiful home, and we hope to return!

It's a vacation in a house!
This place is specifically curated for comfort and fun. We were there to celebrate our grandmother who once lived in Oceanside and this place let us enjoy the area and each other perfectly. Lots of games, activities, space, hangout areas (inside and out). Awesome views from the many decks and patios. And the hostess was extremely receptive and helpful. You can't help but love this place!

Great stay
We had a great time at this property. There was plenty of space for the kids to run around and the house had everything we needed. The only thing I would change is the bunk beds for kiddos are in a separate house (they ended up sleeping in the larger beds with us). We weren't comfortable with them being that far away from us, but if you had teens it would be fine.

The Perfect House!
THANK YOU Laurie! We couldn't have chosen a better place to host our family while we were in town for our daughter's wedding! The house is absolutely gorgeous, fully stocked with everything you can possibly need. Plenty of space for 8 adults and 4 kiddos! We loved the pool toys, beach toys, bikes, yard games, etc. Laurie was an absolute gem to work with from the moment we booked, until the moment we left. She even left us a bottle of champagne to honor our newlyweds AND a birthday present for our grandson who turned 3 while we were in town. LOVED those special touches. We will definitely be back.

Celebrating our new RECON Marine
Where do I start? From the minute I inquired about the property, Laurie, the host, was wonderful. Very friendly and helpful in every way. When we got there, she met me and showed me around the great spaces in the house and even had snacks there for us. The home is well stocked with everything for cooking in or door dash is a quick delivery option. The house itself is GORGEOUS, in a fantastic location with the sound of ocean waves crashing right outside, clean, super comfortable all while being luxurious! Our group loved the garage full of bikes, pool floats and ocean toys. There wasn't one thing we felt wasn't well thought out and provided at the house. Thank you again, Laurie and Tom, for letting us celebrate our new RECON Marine in your amazing home. You helped make our time together that much more special, because we felt so comfortable and pampered. With gratitude, Janet, Tammy, Greg, Kyle, Jake, Austin, Luc, John- Michael, Scott and Thomas. 💕💕💕

Thanks Laurie - your house couldn’t have been prettier, more comfortable, or better stocked! Truly like being at home away from home. Loved it all. Walked to town, beach, hung out in pool and truly enjoyed the roof top deck watching the waves. Everything and more. Wished we had brought our kids as your bedrooms went on for days! And thanks for sending your nephew over to fix the wi-Fi - he was very sweet! 10 out of 10! Thank you!

Great family vacation!
The home is great and Laurie is an excellent host! The pool and hot tub were so fun. I loved having all the spaces for family members. My older sister and her family stayed in the cabana and my younger sister stayed in the bunk house. The home was big enough for us to all come together during the day and stay separate at night which is so nice with 2 young toddlers. The home is loaded with beach toys available for use. We only planned on 1 beach day and ended up doing 3. It was so easy to load up and go. Thanks Laurie, we had a great time!

This house checks all the boxes
We are a group of 10, six adults four children ranging in age from the 70s to 8. This property is perfect for everyone, lots and lots of room, gorgeous pool, amazing amenities. Our joke was there was nothing that was not in this house… Sunscreen, amazing kitchen with every possible kitchen device, great sleeping spaces with lots of balconies. You can watch the sunset from the balcony, you can surf in some of the best waves in Southern California, just a short drive away. Cannot recommend this property highly enough! The owner is also very close by, extraordinarily responsive and very nice. She knows a lot about the area, and was always there if we had questions about the house or property.
