Excellent beach front location, amazing caretaker, fully euiped and comfortable space and cooperative owner. We had a great time!Note: Since it was in the house rules, we had to spend several valuable hours of our stay to do the bedsheet & towels laundry and clean the house before leaving the place!

The house is large and suits the needs of a family group and you can't beat the location, right on the beach. Sadly we found this property was not up to our expectations. There were numerous spiderwebs and spiders both inside and out (and we couldn't find a fly swatter) The BBQ..once cleared of webs was all rusted out on the inside and bird poop adorned the window sill right next to it. We had to search for pillow cases (found the linen closet off the main floor bedroom) and make our own beds, then were then penalized for not taking the sheets back off of them before we left. I have been to Pelee three times in the past year and stayed at lower prices places that were cleaner, well stocked and had the beds make prior to guest arrival. I would not rent this property again.

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!

A beautiful location on a sandy beach

We chose this property because of its location on a swimming beach. The views and the water were perfect. The property manager, Madeline, was right next door and was very helpful. We enjoyed using the camp chairs to enjoy the deck and I also used the lounge chair when I was swimming. There were pool noodles and beach toys available too. The kitchen had everything we needed without feeling cluttered. The property had a very homey feeling and the furniture in the living room was very comfortable. My one suggestion would be to update and streamline the printed property instructions, especially for checkout. There were several partial copies there and the instructions included taking the trash to a facility that was closed on our check-in day -- even if the facility had been open, we already had a full car. Trimming the checkout list to the essentials would make for a friendlier departure. The best feature of the property is the location on the East side of the island. If you get up early enough you can have coffee with a view of the sunrise and maybe even catch a freighter or a sailboat on the horizon.

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).

Host profile image
Our family first visited Pelee Island in April 2012 and we all instantly fell in love with it. It has become a perfect get away for our family, especially our 10 years old daughter. Six months after our first trip to Pelee Island, we decided to share our memories with nature lovers by welcoming them to this beautiful upscale cottage and help them to enjoy the peace, tranquility, and magic of Pelee Island.

Why they chose this property

Built in 2006, this unique property is in an excellent location, which contains large area of fine sand swim beach in Pelee Island. It is a waterfront property with lake view from all the rooms.

What makes this property unique

All the amenities of a modern house with very fine sand swim beach that is only few feet away from the very shallow lake for several feet that is ideal for swimming of the rookies, the frail elderly and younger children with adult supervision.
