Some shortcomings

The interior of the property was clean. However, there were several shortcomings. The tables were small and unstable. The bathroom was very small with no place to place toiletries or hang clothing/towels. We had only two bath towels for four days stay. The small table and chairs on the porch were broken and unsafe. The sidewalk/steps were poorly lit. In fact, while retrieving an item from the car after dark, I fell. I had a skinned knuckle and a twisted ankle. I could have been hurt much worse.

The Mermaid’s Lair

Great cozy place for two. Beautiful view of Crystal Lake and very convenient to Portsmouth and Virginia Beach. We highly recommend Sojourn to book your next trip.
