Seaside OR- Chic Family Beach Escape & Fast Wi-Fi
About this house rental
Nestled in Seaside, this charming house for $367 per night is a great option for your next break. Seaside is a vacation destination dating back to the 1870s. With its grand oceanfront promenade offering leisurely walking with a view of the Pacific Ocean, Seaside is an easily reachable fairground by the water. Oregon’s first seashore resort community, Seaside has maintained its legacy as one of the most popular year-round family destinations on the Coast. At the end of a nearly direct route on Highway 26 from Portland, it’s not hard to reach for even a day trip on the North Coast. Spanning the Necanicum River, Seaside’s Broadway Street features unique restaurants, pubs, and cafes and ends at the beachfront promenade. Down on the beach, enjoy kayaking, hiking, razor clamming, and kite flying: there’s enough space that you’ll rarely feel crowded. The Mermaids Song Beach House sits on a quiet street where the ocean and the river meet. We are less than a full block from the beach with two access areas and nestled between the BEST clamming, crabbing and fishing location. It's a quiet area away from the bustling crowds in summer, but still so close to everything Seaside has to offer. Just a short stroll or bike ride to the prom. It's perfect for feeling like you have a private beach and the Mermaid's vibe is SUPREME! She seems petite but she holds in her lair a 4 bedroom, 1.5 bathrooms, 1 block from the Ocean and 1 block from the River, where the two meet (Estuary), in Seaside Oregon. With an array of sleeping arrangements and the ability to separate adults and children, cozy up to the fire or just sit on the front porch with a book as the kids play corn hole on the lawn. Watch the sunset in all it's beautiful glow. Take the wagon and head a short block to the beach with the many sand toys and equipment. Meander around on our bikes...whatever you like! Just a few short blocks away there is a City Park across from the 12th street bridge, where you can try your luck with our crab cages or rent a bike fit for the entire family or start your stroll on the prom. The Necanicum River comes in and out with the tide, which is perfect for fishing, kayaking, clamming or beach combing. Walk to the prom, shop the outlets, take a short drive to Astoria, Cannon Beach or Manzanita. Try your luck fishing for salmon in the Necanicum behind the house, down 17th street and you run right into the Estuary ...maybe even spot some local ELK. The digital access information is shared before your stay and after all forms have been received. You will have access to the house, garage and exterior of the property. There is parking for 4 vehicles behind the house on 17th street and in front of the garage. We are not afforded on street parking by Seaside City Ordinance. No RV, Boat or Commercial vehicle parking on or near the property. Mermaids song is located in the quiet north end of town but still within walking distance to the Seaside promenade.

I's also imperative that you and even the smallest members of your group remember that if an item breaks, tell us right away. This makes a huge imp

We had a great time staying at the Seaside bungalow. It had lots of space and amenities for a large party (8 of us). It was super comfortable and I'd recommend to others who want to visit.

The house was in a great location and perfect for our family to get to and from the beach often during our stay. we were surprised that the house had for use bikes, BBQ, Beach items such as chairs, beach towels and many other items. We have previously stayed in other houses in Seaside but really appreciated the owners thoughtfulness.

We had a wonderful time at the Mermaid beach bungalow! The home was very clean and well stocked with all kinds of goodies! There were many games and activities to entertain everybody! The home is a short walk to the beach and to the promenade leading to the city center! We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this home to everyone! Thank you!

Let's Do It Again!
Mermaid's Song is a very comfortable, excellently equipped, and nicely situated house close to the beach. We were a party of nine (six adults, three children) and we were very comfortable. Our activities were focused mostly on the nearby beach as well as the tourist opportunities in Seaside proper. While we did eat out, some we also cooked in the kitchen which had plenty of pots, pans, cookware, utensils, etc., etc. The garage was very well equipped with beach toys, beach chairs, coolers, and bicycles. While we didn't use it, there was also a great barbeque cooker available. All in all, this was a fine place for us to have quality time together as a family. We would happily stay here agin.

We spent a long weekend here with 5 adults, 4 children and an infant. Great location, comfy and plenty of space for everyone. We loved having a “kids” room for them to hang in.
Fully stocked with dishes, coffee makers, waffle maker, beach toys and bikes.
Hosts were very helpful and we had great communication.
Thank you Mermaid Song, our family really enjoyed your home!!

The property was very clean and in a nice location for easy beach access. It was a bit far to town though. One full bath was a bit of a challenge for 10 people. Beds were also quite squeaky!
It was also a bit hectic to find out 24 hours prior to arrival that all adults had to sign a rental agreement. We all live in different towns and work different shifts and this was very stressful at the last minute. Other than that, we had a good time and the house was well stocked.

What stands out about this property is the extra amenities included. The owners have thought of everything. From a loaded coffee bar, to sand castle building supplies, to video games and karaoke. You literally don't need to bring anything to DO. We have two toddlers and they had a blast using the art table, Little People toy set, Legos, and ride-on kids toys in the garage. This place was also immaculate - not a spec of dust anywhere. The furnishings gave it a whimsical beach house feel. It is nestled in a clean, quiet, and safe neighborhood right down from the beach. Also only 3 minutes from downtown Seaside where the famous Seaside carousel and aquarium is. The owners were wonderful to work with and despite as changing dates last minute, they were completely kind and accommodating about it. We will definitely be back to the Mermaid Song.

This house had all the little things you forgot as a traveler. Files, lotion, cotton balls, hair dryer, curling iron, I could go on and on. It’s a super cute house. We were nervous because there was only 1 bathroom and 8 of us there, but there is a little toilet cupboard also.
She definitely spent some time decorating this home perfectly. My only thing I didn’t like was the small dining table, but we totally made due. It would be hard to fit anything bigger unless it was expandable. I loved the house, very cozy.

I stayed here with a small group of friends, and while the house is quite lovely, our experience was marred by the interaction we had with the owner. The owner deducted from our safety deposit to replace a missing screw in the bathroom sink’s drain stopper that we absolutely had nothing to do with. The amount deducted was fairly ridiculous for the replacement of a screw (or even for the cost of a new plug). After being accused of this violation — somewhat harshly and without any acknowledgement that we asserted our innocence in the matter — my entire group offered to return to the home and see what could be done about the missing screw—not as an admission of any wrong-doing, but out of politeness. When we got there, the house was being prepared for the next renter and we were turned away by the housekeeper who told us “the situation would be dealt with and not to worry.” Within minutes of this, I learned about the charge to my deposit — remember this was for a screw. I sent multiple messages to the owner wherein I tried to explain how unjust this all seemed. These were met with condescending, accusatory, and aggressive statements that, quite frankly, made me feel like she thinks I am a lying, cheating, criminal (I’m not). If you choose to stay at this property, proceed with caution.

Highly Recommended!
We loved our stay at Mermaid’s Song! Our group of two families stayed 7/8-7/12/19 and we all agreed that it was one of the nicest vacation rentals we had ever booked. The house is cute and clean and the owners have clearly put so much time and care into providing all of the details to create a great guest experience. The adults loved the well-stocked coffee bar and the kids loved the “kid room” and game closet (LEGOS included). All of the beds were very comfortable and had nice linens. The carpet was even super clean and soft (I think it must be new, but I’m guessing the no shoes rule + outdoor shower for rinsing off help a lot).
As far as the location- the house is in a very quiet spot surrounded by equally nice beach houses and cottages. The beach is so close and the kids had fun splashing and running around. We were even catching crabs in the shallow waters with our (adult) bare hands (probably not recommended). We also found that we were very conveniently located to Astoria (Buoy Brewing) and Oswald West State Park.
William and Marie were very pleasant and responsive to our questions (I reached out three times while we were there).
Overall, I would definitely recommend Mermaid’s Song to potential vacation renters. The pictures honestly don’t do it justice and we had such a wonderful stay.

Cannot recommend for familes with small children
Owners of the house were vague and do not communicate well with each other. We requested on 3/19 if we could check-in early. The response provided was the access code (arrival was 3/30). No mention of fees were disclosed during the email or face to face conversation with the owner at the home for an early check-in (half the nightly rate) until after we checked out as part of the modest portion they deducted from the deposit.
When we arrived early one of the owners let us know that we could not check in yet but to leave our number with him to be contacted when we could. He was working on the chimney (due to damages and parts had not been delivered). He asked us not to use the fireplace which we obliged and went to the beach. When we returned, we did not enter until the housekeeper was leaving & left the door open & wished us a wonderful time.
Cute house, sadly, it is not a friendly environment for families with small children because:
~The home is on the same dead-end street as the town’s waste water sewage treatment plant (not disclosed)
~Dump trucks and utility vehicles quickly passing in front of the house daily
~Cut wires sticking out of walls at children’s levels throughout the home
~Internet boxes were at a child’s level in a bedroom with the 3 twin beds
~Toys & games were provided but strict expectations from the owners not clearly communicated
~No compensation for: fireplace, an amenity; garbage containers placed at the street for pickup; cleaned kitchen, bathrooms, towels washed & put away
Owners were very quick to take a moderate portion of our deposit for:
~Early check in (as noted above)
~A red stain on a comforter on the front room bed, which was never used. A red carpet stain was also stated in the children’s room that no one saw. No picture of the carpet was provided
~A box of sidewalk chalk and cleaning sidewalk
~4 towels from am in front of the washing machine instead of on the laundry room counter
~Reorganizing a game/toy closet. Described as ‘left in disarray’. The picture showed otherwise
Owners took advantage by providing vague responses and instruction which made our family an easy mark because our children used the toys. The explanation provided for deductions taken from our deposit along with the requested pictures did not justify the partial refund. We have never encountered this type of stressful experience.
Prospective travelers: print instructions. They are nowhere in the home and video when leaving.
