Beautiful relaxing location on a large sandy beach

Amazing location right on a large sandy beach. Very quiet. Nice cottage but it is a cottage. Internet and satellite TV were flaky but so what: relax without a phone and enjoy some nature time! Manager Madeline very pleasant and accommodating. Check-out cleaning process should be posted before making reservation. Make sure to book ferry to the island in advance. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Pelee Island - Mermaid on Lorain

Another great Trip to Pelee Island at Mermaid on Lorain. This is our third stay and it was amazing. The place was spotless when we arrived for check in. The location on the Island is amazing with some of the best sandy beach front on the Island. The house is very nice and had a lot of the essentials. We look forward to going back next year!

Lovely property on the beach!

We were very pleased with the property! A few minor things that did not detract from our overall impression - barbeque had not been cleaned and propane tank felt that it was nearing empty but property manager remedied that by quickly delivering a new full tank and brush to clean barbeque. Pump on water cooler not working properly. Also fire pit had not been cleaned out by previous guests, but it was either to windy or too hot/humid to have a bonfire anyway! Everything you could imagine was there for use, except we did not find a fly swatter, which would have come in handy due to some pesky biting flies. We would highly recommend the property. And it was nice to have the property manager, Madeleine and her husband nearby; they were very kind and accommodating.

Great Site but Some Surprises

The site is beautiful and the cottage is well outfitted. The host and property manager were helpful. However, we were surprised to be expected to clean the cottage thoroughly, to wash, dry and put away linens and towels and to take garbage to the waste station OR pay an additional (although reasonable) cleaning fee. That was not clear when we booked. We also had to pay for water even though the tap water was not tested.

Location on the water was excellent, with beautiful sunrise, but read on: We lost use of the cottage for 11 hours in the middle of our two day stay, so no wifi, not able to cook, no water so could not wash,.....had to haul water from the lake to flush toilets. When I requested some compensation for loss of use and enjoyment - the owner said to call Hydro. How absurd. I also urge everyone to read the 'Rules & Helpful Tips to Make Your Vacation Enjoyable' especially the last bullet point (24 items) as it directs to make it ready for the next customer, including washing sheets and making up beds, mop floors, scrub sinks, clean toilets etc. With no power until 10:00, spend all Sunday morning cleaning and washing.

Incredible Location

Being on the beach was a huge plus, and the cottage did have room for all six of the adults in my group to get along comfortably. There were a few minor things that differed from the listing, but nothing that could spoil our stay. The house was quite clean but also had quite a few spiders - we seemed to be the first guests of the season so again, not a deal breaker. My group is already planning a return to the island, as this was our first time visiting and we loved it!

Review

This was the second time my friends and I stayed at this cottage and we had a blast! The only thing that we had trouble with was the cleaning process at the end of our stay. My friends and I spent half of the day before and the morning of our check out date cleaning and we still somehow got charged with a cleaning fee. The only thing we forgot was to take out the garbage, which is a $10 fee but we also got charged another $30 for an hour of interior cleaning even when we had left the house cleaner than we received it. I understand the garbage charge but my friends and I should not have been charged that extra $30.

Nice weekend getaway

House as advertised. Rooms were big with air conditioners in the bedroom. Fit our family of six perfectly. Nice location and view of the water however there were lots of burs on the property so be cautious if you have little kids and make sure to wear shoes even on the beach. As many reviewers commented there were many black flies that bite. Also, you need to clean the house yourself and wash the bedsheets and towels before leaving so we brought our own sheets and towels to avoid this.

The house is very spacious and cozy and has everything you might need. The view of Lake Erie is amazing, we felt like we were at the ocean. It was like having our own private beach, we only saw a couple of people walk by during our entire stay. The sunrises and sunsets on this island are amazing! We plan to visit again.

Great option on Pelee!

We are life-long Pelee people who just needed some extra space as a bunch of family came in at the same time. This cottage is on some of the best beach area of the island and had all we that was needed to accommodate our family (of 5) and my brother's family (of 4).
