WELCOME TO THE MERMAID LOUNGE!! Cancellation leaves Thanksgiving dates open!!



If you like to stroll, hike, run, bike or swim in the ocean, this condo is close to the beach, parks, running and bike trails. Just about 1-1/2 miles to the beach, you’ll be steps away from Fairview Park and Talbert Nature Preserve in Costa Mesa. You’ll be 5 miles from Huntington Beach Pier; 7 miles from Balboa Island; 14 miles from the art colony of Laguna Beach, and only 13 miles from Disneyland. So, what are you waiting for?!!
The “Mermaid Lounge” has a kitchen, living/dining area, two bedrooms (plus loft), a full bath (Jack and Jill) and a half bath downstairs. With tile throughout, it’s okay if you bring in a little beach sand. Upstairs there’s carpeting in the loft next to the walk-in closet and a ¾ bath. According to VRBO, the average hotel room is 325 sq. ft. Here you can bring your groceries and spread out in about 1,300 sq. ft. Just right for a maximum of 6 guests. Master bedroom has a king size bed, loft has a queen size, and the “surf room” has a daybed and twin bed. Add a Pak n Play for little ones at no charge. The kitchen provides what you need for preparing meals with mostly new appliances; use spices, cooking oil, coffee, or anything you can find there. The washer and dryer are just around the corner in the hallway where you'll find all the laundry supplies you will need.
Clean, uncluttered and comfortable, you can unwind here or scurry off to your choice of Southern California attractions. You may even want to sign up for sailing lessons at the Orange Coast College School of Sailing and Seamanship whether you are just starting or have sailed before. You don’t have to leave Newport Bay to enjoy a fabulous day on the water. Rent a Duffy boat, order food and beverages or bring your own!
Head through Fairview Park and down the hill to pick up the Santa Ana River Bicycle Trail. Turn left and you’re at the beach in about 2.5 miles. Or, turn right and bike the rest of the 30-mile trail to Riverside County.
Oh, and if you play the piano …bring your music because we have one here!

Since the beginning of this adventure, all guests are asked to sign a one-page Rental Agreement and make a brief phone call to say "hello" and meet the owner, Kathleen, very briefly. You will be staying in my home! Thank you!
During your stay at this condo building, you'll be close to Huntington Beach Pier. The condo offers free WiFi and a kitchen.
  • Air-conditioned condo with kitchen, washer/dryer, and 2.5 bathrooms

Huntington Beach get away
We have stayed in Vrbos on both coast and everything in between. Mermaid Lounge did not disapoint us. Everything as advertised and so quiet! Winter storms were no problem with plenty of blankets and good heater. Host was always a text away. Beach, lacrosse fields, stores and restaurants all very close. We will be back! We saw lots of games, toys and beach stuff for kids. This place has it all.

Cozy, Comfortable Place
My daughter, three grandchildren, a fiancée and great granddaughter stayed in the condo over Thanksgiving, and it was as close to being at home as you could get away from home. It had everything they needed to have a great holiday. It was also kid-friendly, and everyone enjoyed their stay. Kathleen was very accommodating in making the home available when they arrived. Would highly recommend it for anyone traveling to the area.

Very clean and comfortable townhome in a quiet neighborhood close to beach and OC theme parks.
Our family of 6 adults really enjoyed our stay here. It was very clean and comfortable. Kitchen had what we needed to fix meals. It is close to the beach and a reasonably short drive to Disneyland. There is a river trail for walking close by. The neighborhood was very quiet. It was perfect for our needs.

Wonderful Home!
Where to start! Arrived after midnight and key was in designated location. Home is well laid out and everything you need is there. Extra linens, towels ... We used this as a central location for wedding celebrations around LA, as well as going towards San Diego. Locale beaches/tide pools/whale watching are great. Kathleen was wonderful and when we return to So Cal we will seek this excellent rental out!

This property was clean and perfect for the four of us. It has three bathrooms-2 have showers, which is great. The owner made the check-in process very easy and was very quick to respond to messages. The beach pass was a great treat. It is centrally located to Disneyland and Universal Studios as well as the beach. Highly recommend this property.

Landing spot for move from overseas
My daughter and her family were moving back to the states and Newport Beach and we all needed a fully furnished and stocked place to land for 9 nights while getting their home ready. This was the perfect spot. We mixed in fun on Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach and Disneyland . The shelves of kids books, beach toys and close neighborhood park plus state park trails for morning runs made this a very comfortable and easy place for my crew. The beds were very comfortable. Our host was super responsive and very attentive to all our needs and any questions. There are so many wonderful places to eat close by - Moongoat coffee, Fermentation Farm and Avila’s.

Perfect relaxing retreat
We arrived at the property around 8 pm due to a late flight. Kathleen met us at the house and made sure we got settled in. While our daughter and 3 grandkids spent time at Knottsberry Farm and 6 Flags, my husband and I spent time at the beach. The house is conveniently located minutes from Hunnington and Newport Beach. The beach pass provided by Kathleen came in very handy at Hunnington Beach. The house is well equipped with beach chairs, towels, umbrella and beach toys that the kids enjoyed. The house is cozy and comfortable. Kathleen was a perfect host making sure we had what we needed to make our stay memorable. We would definitely stay here again.

Close to Everything and SO PERFECT
It is the absolute perfect location and price for any family trip to California. It has easy access to the beach and the major freeways. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. Kathleen is the most wonderful hostess you could ever ask for. She genuinely cares about your vacation and does everything she can to make it perfect and memorable. The house is loaded with everything you need for a beach trip, and it couldn't be more spotless and yet homey at the same time. Loved every minute of it!!

LAST MINUTE SAVIOR
KATHLEEN WAS THE MOST PERFECT HOST. WE HAD THREE DIFFERENT FLIGHTS INTO CALIFORNIA BETWEEN OUR TWO ADULT CHILDREN AND OURSELVES. I THOUGHT TRYING TO COORDINATE ARRIVALS AND CHECKING INTO THE HOUSE WOULD BE COMPLICATED BUT KATHLEEN WORKED IT ALL OUT AND IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER. THE HOUSE WAS SPOTLESS! I DID NOT HAVE ANY WORRIES OR PROBLEMS. THERE WERE MORE THAN ENOUGH TOWELS AND SUPPLIES. THE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS VERY QUIET. WE WERE USED TO EASTERN TIME ZONE SO WE GOT UP AROUND 6AM EVERY MORNING. WE ALL TOOK WALKS OR RUNS ON THE NEARBY TRAILS AND MET SOME WONDERFUL PEOPLE. THE BACK PATIO WAS BEAUTIFUL. WE WOULD LOVE TO VISIT THE MERMAID LOUNGE AGAIN!

Loved the Mermaid Lounge!
We had a wonderful stay at the Mermaid Lounge! The location was perfect and central to all we were doing in Orange County. It was clean and had everything we needed (or might have forgotten.) It was a great homebase for our busy days. The size was perfect for our family of young adults and teens. The owner kept in contact with us as we neared our arrival and made the whole process very smooth. We would definitely stay here again when we return to Orange County!
