Due to the continued presence of COVID-19 cases nation wide, we are asking all of our guests to be fully vaccinated. This is a request, not a requirement.
We will continue to do our part to make sure you have an enjoyable, safe experience while visiting Pacific Grove. Please do the same. Thank you.

The Mermaid Retreat is a great couples' or small-family rental. We are on the shores of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. We are within walking distance to Lover's Point Beach, downtown Pacific Grove, Cannery Row, Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Monterey's Fisherman's Wharf. Pebble Beach, Carmel, Carmel Valley, and Point Lobos State Reserve are just minutes away. Big Sur is 26 miles south, and Hearst Castle is only 90 miles south on Scenic Highway #1.
Sit on a bench out front, and watch the seals and otters play in the giant kelp beds. Or stroll the hiking trail along the shore at sunset.
Our season is year-round! So book your reservation now, before it's too late.
The Fall is the peninsula's best-kept secret.

This property is a mermaid lover’s delight. But most importantly, is the location. It is a half block from the gorgeous waterfront with its many resident sea otters and beautiful walking trails along the bluff that go for miles. It is also an easy walk to the small downtown shops and restaurants so you can park the car for days. Even a doable walk to the Monterey Aquarium. A great place to stay!

We love the Mermaid Retreat! It's a perfect location, close to downtown and nice restaurants. And walking along the ocean for miles never gets old, including the spectacular sunsets just around the corner. It just feels like home away from home.

We had the best time at the mermaid retreat! The walking path is amazing, we really enjoyed watching the dolphins, otters, and seals. It’s a geat location, walking distance to delicious restaurants, lovers point is really cool- the surf was up and it was entertaining watching the surfers. Easy check in, perfect space for the wife and I and our dog.

Been looking at this listing for over ten years and finally hit it with my time and a vacancy... not disappointed. Awesome location, clean, simple accommodations. Only thing that would improve the experience is a new mattress...
