Mermaid Manor is a wonderful place to stay. The listing is accurate, but neither the beautiful photos nor interesting descriptions do this place justice. It is a truly special property. From start to finish, staying at Mermaid Manor is a dream. Our family of four (two parents and two older teens) stayed here in April 2026, and all agreed that we’d do it again in a heartbeat. You should not hesitate to stay at this lovely home when visiting the Big Island.

Mermaid Manor is a slice of heaven on Earth. The pictures and descriptions don’t do it justice, far surpassing our expectations. Enjoy the million dollar views while playing and exploring the tide pools or relaxing on one of the three lanais. Clean with beautiful breezes. Beautifully appointed. Lots of amenities provided, including beach equipment and snorkeling gear. Walking distance to Kona. You won’t want to leave. Cynthia greeted us upon arrival and we immediately felt at home. Host was very responsive. We will be back someday. Get you zen on at Mermaid Manor!

Amazing stay at Mermaid Manner. Gorgeous oceanfront home. Very luxurious. Cannot highly recommend enough. It is the best VRBO stay I have had. Will absolutely be returning. Truly paradise.
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
Mermaid Manor was an incredible place to stay. Waking up to beautiful ocean views each morning was truly special. The home was spotless, the bed and pillows were very comfortable, and there was an abundance of towels—something we really appreciated. The house is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need for a perfect beach vacation.The mermaid shower is a surreal, one-of-a-kind experience, and the tide pools were absolutely amazing. Kim was easy to reach and communicate with, and Jen and Joey were incredibly helpful and hospitable throughout our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely stay here again.
