We really liked the setup of the Mermaid House. Very comfortable, wanting for nothing. Having three bedrooms was nice. Beach chairs and towels were especially nice. Maybe the quietest Bosch dishwasher ever.

The Mermaid House was perfect for our group. We appreciated the older and unique styling of the house. Also, it had a fully applianced equipped kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. The location is great - very private and a short walk down an inviting path to a beautiful beach.

MH was such an experience! The house itself is unique. Lots of treasures to notice gathered over the years, I presume. The beach is just a couple of minutes to walk to and explore for shells. The historic town of Hanelei is a short distance away. Besides shopping and eating there are 2 markets to enjoy. Jane, answered all our questions VERY quickly. A joy to be here and experience MH.

Great house, nice beaches close by. Great communication with owner.
Only downside, was it was a little farther than most of our activities. I knew this going in. Wanted to be closer to Tunnels and Kee beaches, but waves didn’t cooperate for snorkeling.
Would stay here again even though it’s a little farther from activities.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Mermaid House! This was a trip that I have been wanting to do with my family for years. It was the perfect location, we walked to the beach every day and saw both Sea Turtles and Seals! Thank you, Jane for sharing your special home. We are already talking about when we can come back and stay again!

The beaches in the area are beautiful. We have stayed in Kauai several times in the past. We very much wanted to stay in Hanalei and this property was misrepresented as in Hanalai until we received the final information which in light of driving times, etc., Haena is a ways away.
I understand the enthusiasm in the reviews about the location We very much enjoyed ourselves, but the place is rustic and I think people need to understand that. It’s also in need of a deep cleaning. The sills, the floors, the grout, etc.
We had the opportunity to renew our wedding vows together as couples on the beach next to where we were staying. That was a wonderful blessing, and we so appreciated that.

This is an absolutely magical place in paradise! The house is beautifully furnished, comfortable but not fussy, and very well equipped. The location could not be better ~ a lovely beach is literally across the street down a small path and Tunnels, the best snorkeling beach around, is a short walk. The mountains are spectacular and the beauty is everywhere. Jane was a wonderful hostess. We hope to return to this little piece of heaven.

My sister and I stayed at the Mermaid House for four nights. The home is located in a quiet beach house neighborhood. Neighboring homes are close by, but the vegetation surrounding the house provides ample privacy. We found the home and grounds tidy and clean and supplied with everything you need for cooking and dining at home and going to the beach. You can walk to the beach in about 1-2 minutes! And, Tunnels Beach is just down the road! We are looking forward to staying at Mermaid House again and again.

Everything was just as promised. A wonderful place to stay in a truly delightful setting. Quick walk to a secluded beach, lovely home to relax in afterwards— we were only 2, but plenty of room for more! Kitchen was extremely well stocked and a pleasure to use. Host was very responsive. Looking forward to a return trip!
