Reviews

  • Jan 15, 2025 January 2025 We had the best time over the past few days at Mermaid Cove. This home is so thoughtfully thought out. They had everything you could think of on top of being an amazing house in an amazing location. Every time we thought we might need to run to the store for something, we would end up finding it in the house. We forgot our snorkel gear…no problem, that was in the house. We really wanted a rice cooker…no problem, that was in the house. The amenities were great and the communication with the rental team was amazing. We will definitely be back! Mahalo for such a lovely stay! Mary Disbrow
  • Jan 15, 2025 We had the best time during our stay! The views were amazing. The location couldn’t be beat. The house had everything we could want. It was such a great place to enjoy time with the family. The house is so thoughtful and had everything we could possibly need. Mahalo for such an amazing time! Mary Disbrow
  • Jan 06, 2025 Great property with unbelievable views and location. Great for groups that want to spend lots of time playing games and cooking together. Was hard to go out when we could stay here! Steve Street
  • Dec 19, 2024 What an ideal beach setting in a private and quiet upscale neighborhood, very close to Kona. Great central location on the west coast of Hawaii. We’ve been to The Big Island a dozen times and wish we’d found this place sooner! The bay is absolutely perfect for families with young kids! I found myself wanting to wake up an hour before sunrise every morning just to experience the morning glow while swimming in the ocean. Even though there’s an amazing pool on the property we found ourselves in the ocean much more because it was just a few steps further. The home had everything with the right amount of eclectic decor, like a hanging wooden shark, stained glass windows and of course all the mermaid elements 🧜‍♀️ It was very open and spacious for our family of 7 and it was awesome to be able to open up the walls of glass sliders all the way to really take in the breathtaking views. I’m honestly reluctant leaving such a great review because I want this home to be available every time we ret Cody Cupper
  • Nov 07, 2024 This home is beautiful! It had exceeded all our expectations. - from the ornate and attention to details in the house, to the beautiful beach just outside the gate. Perfect place for our grandkids, who enjoyed the pool and beach daily. I highly recommend this home, you will not be disappointed. We can’t wait to come back! Jason Tuttle
  • Oct 29, 2024 Fabulous accommodations and location. They thought of everything and we were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked as well as the rest of the place...plenty of beach items and towels and linens. 5 star recommendation! thank you! Deanna Brandt
  • Oct 11, 2024 This house was absolutely perfect. We had the best time with our family and friends. I was looking for a house on the beach where we could feel the breeze and listen to the waves crashing on the shore and it didn't disappoint. The beautiful house is situated on the best part of Keiki Beach with nothing short of a phenomenal view. It was very comfortable, clean and tidy. Everything was meticulously labelled and easily to use. The downstairs lanai with pool and hot tub was a favorite hangout for the kids and adults alike although the upstairs lanai was also very lovely. There were tons of pool and beach toys available to use as well as plenty of games and fun dress up outfits the kids loved. You can tell the owners put a lot of effort into making it family friendly. This was a top-notch place to stay, and we would do it again in an instant. Renee Taylor
  • Jul 02, 2024 Very nice house, accommodated my large family. Well appointed, good kitchen set up for cooking for the family. Swimming pool was nice for the kids and beach access and swim spot better than pictures. We had a great time at Mermaid Cove! John Paul Jones
  • Jun 22, 2024 This home did not disappoint. We are a family of 5 and my mother came with. We were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary, high school graduation, 8th grade graduation and celebrating health. Our 3 children joined us, 18,16, and 14. My mother joined us too.The location was wonderful. Snorkeling right out front. A short drive to Kona for shopping and food. 20 minutes to the airport. Costco, Walmart and a new Safeway very close to the house. A few restaurants within walking distance, maybe 10-15 minutes. Plenty of space to stretch out. We spent most nights on the lanai talking. Meals at the big dining table. The pool area was nice, there is a public walkway right next to the house, which I was not aware of. It was fine, just more traffic than expected. There is a wall that helps with privacy. Maybe a little more greenery on that wall would need nice. Plenty of pool toys, especially for small children. The kitchen was stocked! There were starter supplies-water, dish detergent and clothing detergent. Small shampoo and conditioners, but I would bring shampoo/conditioner, and body soap. Small beach out front, usually filled up with other beachgoers. Woke up one morning to a large cruise ship, was there for only about 12 hours, can hear the engine, but we just played music in background. The sound system did not work, which was disappointing. The hammock was broke upon our arrival, but was replaced within a day. Not sure if the pool was cleaned. Amazing house, highly recommend. Christine Lipke
  • Jun 11, 2024 Beautiful property. Great location. The kids loved both the beach and pool. Dave Kaminsky
  • Mar 24, 2024 Fabulous time with the family at this home right on the beach. Amenities were plentiful and kitchen was well equipped for us to cook most meals at home. Enjoyed the pool and many seating options as well Libbie Morrow
  • Mar 02, 2024 All the boxes were checked for our time in Kona, everything in the house was so well thought out and very organized. Didn’t have any luck with the sound system, but zero complaints about anything else. Gerard Van Egmond
  • Aug 19, 2023 We had a great family vacation at Mermaid Cove. Wonderful spot for families with babies Dan Rosenthal
  • Jul 06, 2023 All the amenities you could ask for, centrally located, and the ultimate snorkel spot right outside your back gate! Loved it! Ryan Brown
  • Jun 23, 2023 The house sits on an amazing small private beach that has a protected reef. The kids enjoyed snorkeling all day and as parents we really didn’t have to worry about waves, etc. The house has plenty of rooms and space for a large family. Also, the house has more the of small niceties such as utensils, spices, plates, etc… than numerous other vacation rentals we have stayed at. Scott King
  • May 22, 2023 It’s a beautiful property with stunning views.The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. Alicia Deals
  • Mar 24, 2023 Our stay was amazing! The house lives up to the photos. Our younger children loved in the pool, while the teenagers enjoyed the beach right out front. We enjoyed coffee on the balcony watching the waves crash, fish as well as a sea turtle in the tide pool, humpback wales breaching and cocktails with the sunset at night. There was plenty of space for our family of 11. The house was well stocked and had everything we needed. Thank you for a wonderful vacation! 🌺 Nicole Sparks

Description

If laid-back luxury is what you crave, Mermaid Cove by Gather has it all. Enjoy some of the best ocean views on the island from the spacious, fully furnished living room. Throw open the giant pocket doors and take in the fresh ocean air while relaxing on the sofa with your partner. Stroll outside to the furnished lanai, the perfect place to listen to birds sing and watch the cruise ships dock.

When you're ready for a great meal, the spacious gourmet kitchen is furnished with everything you need to whip up your favorite dish, including high-end finishes and state-of-the-art Bosch appliances. Enjoy a cup of Kona coffee as you watch the sunrise from the spectacular ocean-view eat-in area. Just off the kitchen, a large dining area offers enough space for all of your guests and is an ideal space for a tropical dinner party.

Mermaid Cove has four bedrooms (one on the ground floor and two on the second floor) each one furnished with plush bedding, flat-screen TVs, and en suite bathrooms. The third floor is dedicated to the primary suite where you'll enjoy a posh king-size bed, a private lanai, and stunning ocean views. Watch the sunset from your balcony and when you're ready for bed, leave the doors open and listen to the sounds of the waves as you drift off to sleep. Furnished with fluffy cotton towels, a double-slipper clawfoot tub, and a steam shower for two, the spacious primary bath provides a spa-like experience you'll never forget.

Grab your friends and watch a movie in the home theater on the 80-inch Smart TV. Choose from a collection of Blu-ray videos or press the Netflix button on the remote for even more choices. For book lovers, Mermaid Cove has a well-stocked library.

If you need to work while you're away, the expansive ocean-view corner office is the ideal place to keep up with your projects. Wifi and high-speed internet provide convenience.

Outdoors at Mermaid Cove, fun and excitement await you. From the beautiful sandy beach, eight-person Jacuzzi, and expansive swimming pool that flows underneath the lanai, you'll never be at a loss for something to do. No need to pack and go to the beach—you're already there! Enjoy a relaxing morning on the beachfront lounge chairs. Take a dip in the ocean, then wash off the salt and sand in the refreshing heated outdoor shower. Fix a tasty lunch in our covered outdoor barbecue kitchen and serve it to your friends from the swim-up bar.

This gorgeous home is secluded in a 24-hour guarded and gated oceanfront community with keypad entry just a short walk to the classic Hawaiian town of Kailua. Watch the cruise ships from the Kailua-Kona Pier, where you'll have access to Hawaii's best scuba diving, big-game fishing, kayaking, and dolphin and whale watching. Visit the famous farmers market. Enjoy shaved ice or a cup of Kona coffee. Dine on a light snack or a gourmet meal, buy an inexpensive souvenir or a piece of fine art, book an activity, go for a swim, or hang out at the beach. The pier is the official starting and finishing point of the Ironman World Championship (held annually in October) and a great place to watch the sunset. Everything you want and need is readily available in the heart of Kailua-Kona town.

You'll love exploring the area and its many significant Hawaiian cultural landmarks. Both the Hulihee Palace and the Mokuaikaua Church are located on Ali'i Drive. King Kamehameha I spent his last years living near the current site of what is now the King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel, until his passing in 1819. The Ahu'ena Heiau, located on the grounds of the hotel, is a reconstructed temple rebuilt by the late king and is on the register of National Historic Landmarks.

Mermaid Cove is one of only a few properties with beachfront access. It's conveniently located, and a great home base to explore the many wonders of the Big Island including Volcanoes National Park, Mauna Kea Observatory, coffee and macadamia nut farms, artist communities, and more!

*This property features A/C in all the bedrooms as well as the media room. The living room, dining room, and kitchen areas are not air-conditioned but they feature excellent ventilation*
