Amazing location!

I was blown away by how great the Mermaid Inn's location is, especially for the price. Dog fees for my two huskies were $50/each at the start of my stay, but it was still the cheapest option I could find for us without sacrificing quality. If you want a cheaper, no-frills option to hang out on the beach with your pups, I'd highly recommend the Mermaid!

The room was clean and more than large enough for all three of us. We could see the beach from the front door. The door of my room did seem a bit thin so I heard a lot of what was happening in the outdoor hallway outside, but that really wasn't an issue during our stay outside of peak season. The room had a coffee machine, a mini fridge, and a microwave which was convenient.

As a bonus, my pups made a new doggo friend who was also staying at the hotel. They had a great time playing together on the beach. Beach access was free and it was very clean, although I can't speak to what it'd be like during the height of summer (we stayed in March).

The parking lot is directly in front of the hotel which was really convenient. If you want to arrive early and get into your room or receive your parking pass, know they do charge an early check-in fee. Staff was super friendly and I felt safe as a solo female traveler at this hotel, which is really important to me.
Overall, I highly recommend the Mermaid for a chill, dog-friendly, beach-front spot. We'll definitely be back.
