Mermaids Song: Dream Stay 600ft to Beach & River

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.

It was a great home! Well stocked with everything you could need. Some of the twin beds were squeaky, but overall comfortable. There are a few plug ins in the bedroom with twin beds that need to be looked at. Overall it was great!

Awesome location for families

We loved the toys, books, grill, and beach tools. Very well stocked house, including great kitchen tools (and sharp knives!) Being a little outside the main commercial district was really nice for our crew, and we loved that we could also take a walk down the boardwalk to get there when we wanted to.

Nice beachside retreat

My family stayed here for a weekend. The house was well stocked and the four bedrooms gave us room to spread out. The check in process was smooth and the owner was responsive when we had one minor issue (Wi-Fi password). All three of my kids said this was their favorite beach rental we have stayed at. We would stay here again.

Great Stay

The house was very nice and impeccably clean. Had all the amenities we needed, and the beds were very cozy. My only thing to note was that I wish there was an earlier check in time. I feel like 5pm was a little too late, especially when we are paying for a full day's rate.

Such a fun house to stay at in Seaside- far enough away from the noise and busy-ness of the touristy area, but close enough to walk there easily. The beach was a block away and the area of the beach near the house was beautiful!!!

BEWARE AGGRESIVE HOSTS

we are rating our experience here as a 0 star. It all started with the hosts requiring a third party verification which cost money!? And then in an effort to be transparent, we let the hosts know that as the owner of my company I would not be joining the team on this work trip. This was not allowed in the rules for the house and we understood that without issue. The problems began when we asked for the reservation to be cancelled so we could re book with one of the employees as the renter. As the reservation was made last minute we were outside of a refund availability. This made it impossible for us to stay. At this point we communicated with the host and they took a stance that it was within the stated rules that they did not and would not offer any assistance. We tried in vain to go through VRBO to resolve. Eventually the hosts even resorted to threatening us after they were advised that we would be leaving an honest review. After all of this, they cancelled our reservation with no refund. As a prospective guest I would suggest reading through the entire contract they have as it is filled with conflicting information and threatening language as well as a laundry list of reasons they will fine the “guests”

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.

Perfect family getaway home

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!!

Weekend retreat with family.

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.

Everything You Could Want & More

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.

Nice place, unpleasant owner

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.
