This location was perfect for us!
I could not be happier with the 5 nights we just spent at Mermaid Cove. This was a special event for us since my husband was turning 80! His kids and grandkids came to celebrate and we all had the BEST time! This home made it extra special. I was just beautiful, comfortable, relaxing, and the location was great for us. None of us wanted to be in the middle of an overcrowded beach scene, and yet, we were literally right across the street from the beach! Wow! We could drive down to Port Aransas, or into town (Corpus Christi), or just out to the main road with plenty of restaurants and a new grocery store. We rented a cart to get around and it worked out great. The host was very helpful and there was just the nicest feeling about our time here. We will definitely return. Thanks Trish.

Great T-giving
This was our first visit to Corpus to join extended family, in- laws for Thanksgiving. Seven stayed at Mermaid Cove and absolutely loved it. Large dining room so we hosted dinner, plenty of room for 14. Well equipped kitchen to prepare everything, including an instant pot! Bed are so comfortable! The set up was perfect for our group, beds for the two kids and parents, two beds down for the other adults. The place is clean and well maintained. Lots of nice provisions like beach towels, plenty of bath towels, charging hubs, serving pieces. it could not have been better for our group. Thanks so much.

Perfect spot for friends getaway
You know how you find a rental property that changes the game? That is this place. The place was beautiful… the pictures are accurate not some staging job. I loved loved loved working directly with the owner. I travel to this area 1-2 times a year and am not a fan of working with the property management groups on the island. Trish had great communication and responses and was great to work with even gracious in responding to feedback. Nice little added touch to have: plenty of beach towels, TP, mini beverages already chilled, and some snickers bars. 😉 AC was cold and the house was super clean and smelled good (how often do you say that about a beach rental??) Large dining table was great for game night when it rained. Pantry had all the small appliances you could want PLUS some. Blankets were abundant for snuggling up with a book. We were a group of 50 somethings and this place was a perfect fit. Able to park a jeep gladiator in the garage. Covered patio with comfortable furniture -and an unobstructed view of the water was a plus. We will definitely stay again in the future. Thanks Trish!

Mermaid Cove is a very nice place to stay while at Padre Island! The condo, which felt like a large home, is very modern and clean! It is very spacious and accommodated our party of 7, plus 2 dogs, with ease! The owner was very responsive and sent proactive messages before we arrived and just before we checked out. Mermaid Cove is also walking distance to the beach. We already plan on staying again! Highly recommended!!

Peaceful and Comfortable!
We had a lovely restful stay at Trish's property. The property looks exactly like it does in the photos. There was plenty of space for our family. The photos don't show how comfortable the beds and couches are! This is one gripe I have with many rental properties-- the beds and furniture look nice but aren't comfy. Not the case here! High quality bedding, mattresses, and living room furnishings. There is a balcony off the living area that looks over the water (no buildings in between you and your beach view), and It's a 5 minute walk to the beach . The kitchen is nice and well-equipped. Very large dining table so you can have meals on one end and do puzzles on the other, plus seating in the kitchen. Great for a large family gathering or a smaller family like ours who like to spread out. I definitely would return and recommend!

Beautiful and Relaxing property!
1st time renting via VRBO and it was fantastic! The owner was very accommodating with answering questions before we got there and she created such a relaxing atmosphere from the moment we walked in the door. Nice & cool with dim lighting & music in the background. Rooms were just like the photos (it was so beautiful, i plan to change my decor at home!). View of water from balcony, you can actually drive about a block down to a parking lot with beach access so you can carry all your gear down a ramp & you’re on the beach. Although if u don’t have much gear you can walk through a parking lot across the street. There were beach towels, bags & a cooler to use in case you don’t want to bring too much…some sodas & water in the fridge, a bowl of candy & koozies on the counter! Great kitchen & laundry room. It rained half the time we were there so the big screen TV was a plus and of course being able to sit out on the patio was awesome! Thank you Trish! You obviously like making your renters feel at home.

It was also located near the things we wanted to access. We had some issues with the AC and disposal, but the manager/owner was very attentive and responsive to make sure our stay was enjoyable.

Best rental we have ever stayed in!!!!
We have stayed at many places while traveling and this was by far the BEST!! The location was great. The house was UNBELIEVABLE!!!! All you need to bring are your clothes, sunscreen, toothbrush and toothpaste! Everything else was provided (beach towels shampoo, soap etc.). The beds were amazingly comfortable!! The dining area is set up to seat 10-12 easily and comfortably! The view, the beach- everything was great! The hostess was great. She was available to answer Q’s and recommend restaurants. I can say enough great things about this place. It was by far a “12” on the 1-10 scale! We are looking forward to our next stay!

Amazing Getaway!!
Our family was looking for a quiet, nice townhome to stay in for an extended weekend in Corpus Christ that was convenient to the beach and we absolutely found paradise in the Mermaid Cove! We were traveling with 5 adults and two young children, so we wanted at least 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, plus ample living space for kids kids. We had more space than we needed and the property was absolutely incredible! It was impeccably decorated, functional, yet gorgeous and had all the updated amenities. The kitchen had every single thing we needed, dishes, cookware, cleaning products and more than we could have used in two weeks! The beds were extremely comfortable and came with ample beddings. Fast wifi, huge TVs in each bedroom and living room, what more could we ask for?!? We were all thoroughly impressed with everything and we had top-notch customer service from the owner. We've been traveling to Port A or CC for years now and this is the best place we've stayed in thus far. We will definitely be back!! Thank you for making our vacation smooth and memorable!
