About this cottage rental

The Mermaid's House:
The Mermaid's House is the perfect West Marin getaway. Located on the waterfront of pristine Tomales Bay, it is an ideal spot to relax and unwind. The house is literally built out over the water, so there is nothing between you and the picturesque Point Reyes National Seashore as you gaze out through the giant glass windows.
The Mermaid's House offers amazing views of the abundant birdlife that inhabits Tomales Bay and it is not uncommon to spot a seal or two swimming by to say, "hello." The house, nautically themed, creates the illusion that you are traveling aboard a lavish ship, without the seasickness of course. The spacious interior of the house has an air of tasteful class while maintaining a cozy rustic feel.
Complete with a grassy front yard, large deck with a hot tub, and its own pier, the Mermaid's House is also well equipped for outdoor living. Whether you spend your time in West Marin hiking in the park, kayaking on the bay, or just relaxing, the Mermaid's House is the perfect setting to enjoy some world famous oysters, have a drink, and look out across the bay as the sun sets.
Amenities: Jacuzzi/jet outdoor spa, gas log fireplace, Wi-Fi (wireless internet), phone (free long distance within the continental US), satellite flat screen TV with built in DVD player, stereo/CD player, fully equipped kitchen, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, barbecue, deck tables and chairs, teakwood "steamer" reclining deck chairs. *(No smoking. Sorry, no young children: due to the location of the house over the water. No pets: due to the sensitive nature of the environment.) **(Sorry, we cannot accommodate large gatherings or parties.)
Activities: Hiking, bird watching, horseback riding, hanging out on the beach, kayaking, biking, scenic driving, wine tasting, fishing, shopping, restaurants, sightseeing, whale watching, swimming, boating (rentals at dillon beach), sailing, surfing, windsurfing, tide-pooling, wildlife viewing, golfing (Bodega Bay or San Geronimo). Within one hour from: Napa, Sonoma, San Francisco, Sausalito, Dillon Beach, Bodega Bay.

Really lovely property. Enjoyed the proximity to the different oyster restaurants, and the deck to sit on over the water. This is a duplex, but we really couldn’t hear the people that were staying in the other unit. Only caveats are that you need the mobility to be able to climb a ladder-like stair to get to the bedroom loft, and also the loft has a very low ceiling over the bed, might be too much for a tall person.

Such a beautiful spot over the water. Peaceful and easy to park. Space was great. Small kitchen but able to do all the cooking we wanted with the 2 burner stove and Ninja air fryer/countertip oven. Also, the property had Weber BBQ with briquets that allowed for fresh BBQ oyster feast. Hot tub was great too. Highly recommend.

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!
