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!

Fantastic location right on the beach. Spacious cottage and very comfortable for our group of 4 friends. Needs a deep clean. We removed many spider carcasses from the walls. Baseboard dusty and dirty. Cleaning expectations before leaving were unrealistic.

Only issue was owners showed up at beginning of our stay stated they didn’t know we were booked and needed to do pictures to sell the house we had to wait outside for hour until owners were completed.

We’re sorry to hear that you felt disappointed with your stay at our rental cottage. Regarding the photos, we made sure to ask for your permission when we arrived to welcome you all , which you kindly gave, and we expressed our gratitude several times. That said, we were quite surprised by the condition in which the cottage was left after your departure. It was significantly messier than expected, and unfortunately, that does reflect on the level of care shown during your stay.

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!

About the host

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.
