The house was lovely and had every convenience. Plenty of room for people to gather in different spaces and relax. It would have been great for a multigenerational group. The location was wonderful for morning walk along the beach, even in chilly weather. Overall we had a nice time.
The cons: The management company did not respond to my questions before arrival. Check-out was 10am on Sunday. Makes sense for busy summer season but since we were only coming for an off-season weekend I asked about late check out. Didn't get a response. Then at the last minute got an automated message offering late check out for an extra fee. That would have been nice to know ahead of time. Also, the house was not as clean as we would have liked. I did reach the management company and they said they would notify housekeeping, but that didn't help us at all.

We rented the house for an 80th Bday celebration. Location was perfect for everyone traveling and had meaning with past summer visits to Biddeford Pool, Fortunes Rocks and Saco. The house provided plenty of room with a nice big dining table which we were all able to sit around and share memories of the Birthday Wife/Mom/Grandmother. Kitchen was well stocked, ice maker was nice and probably even more important for summer getaways. Grandchildren enjoyed the ping pong and foosball table in the basement.
While the communication with Vacasa LLC was easy (more then enough eMails & Text msgs), seems a bit disjoint with them wanting to manage everything thru their platform vs our rental thru VRBO. Makes me question the fees going to both Vacasa & VRBO

Very nice house kitchen was wonderful, plenty of room, i would have given it a 5 but downstairs only bathroom door was broken which was a pain, everyone had to go upstairs if they didn't want to mess with the door, with the money it cost to rent and then 900 dollars in fees ontop of rental fee there is absolutely no reason to not fix it and just put a sign on it, that's just bad management otherwise great place

We enjoyed everything about this house and the area of Biddeford Pool. The house was beautiful, spacious, family friendly and had everything we could've asked for and then some. The ocean breeze coming in through the windows even in mid November was our favorite part. We walked to both beaches several times and enjoyed riding the provided bikes around the neighborhood. The kitchen was perfect for cooking the big family dinner that we planned. Beds were all comfortable and the basement was a dream for all the kids. Would love to return!

The property was beautifully landscaped. The house was clean, comfortable, and supplied with all the amenities to make one’s stay stress free and fun. We were a family group of 13. Eight adults and five children under the age of five. Bikes, boogie boards, games, kayaks, ping pong, 56” television, and a weight room station are just some of the perks provided. The kitchen was stocked with multiple electric appliances, pots, pans, dishes, glasses etc.. The Mermaid House was set up to make the guests feel like they were in their own home and whatever was needed at a moments notice was readily available. We had a great time and would gladly rent again.

My children had so much fun on our family vacation. We walked to the ocean twice a day. They had so much fun finding all the tiny crabs and shrimp. We cooked some fresh Maine Lobster in the phenomenal kitchen. The most organized rental I have ever been in. The house manual was also so helpful and well thought out. We really enjoyed The Mermaid House and hope to book again in the future.

When family is spread out around the country, it's always a great event when we can get everyone together! We gathered at Mermaid House to celebrate Christmas, coming from Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Wyoming, Texas and Florida. The house itself was perfect--large dining room table around which we enjoyed delicious food and wine, comfortable accommodations for all, including a great bonus room, where we hung out and played games. Speaking of games, there is an awesome assortment of games, packaged in their original boxes with laminated instructions and small plastic bags so you know exactly what and how many pieces there should be. Amazingly well organized! Loved walking the neighborhood and the nearby beaches, even though it's March! The house manual with all the details about the house, the area, recommendations, etc., is the best we have seen to date!

We really enjoyed our stay! The living area, kitchen and dining room were very nice. The single en suite bathroom, as others have said, was very tiny! But we had plenty of towels!!
We had trouble getting the back deck door locked the entire time there. Also, there is no “gate” to unlock—it is a garage door. That threw us off. Guess the one thing that we were surprised at was only 2 dish towels. For 6 people. Staying 5 days.
Location was nice being so close to the ocean and a sandy beach. Out of the bustle of the cities, but close enough to get anywhere. Highly recommend.

Our family (6 adults and 5 kids ages 3-8) stayed at Mermaid House for the second year. It again was perfect for our group. The kitchen is marvelous for preparing family meals. (Only thing lacking is a large skillet). The outdoor spaces and gardens are beautiful. And the garage full of toys for all ages is fantastic. We enjoyed the sandy and Rocky beaches, both a short walk, as well as the Audubon trail. This year we enjoyed a day trip to Portland which was fun.

Great location, lots of room for all, wonderful and well-equipped kitchen. Very clean, loved the table on the deck and the fire pit. Upstairs (where the bedrooms are) could use a coat of paint (chipping on doors/walls/window frames) and a little updating (tiny showers in 2 bathrooms). Beds comfortable. Had a great time there with extended family, good memories

We loved that the house had all the amenities including the fun stuff. Ample amount of available things to use at the house such as board games, table games, bikes, ocean/ swimming stuff, fire pit. Multiple TVs. So much space! We particularly loved using the bikes to ride around the neighborhood and the cornhole. The place was perfect for what we wanted a short getaway (staycation) to celebrate a family members birthday. The is both a sand beach and rock beach with a short walk.
