The Mermaid Inn Beach Cottage/ Seabrook/NASA/Kemah

Make some memories at this unique, family-friendly place. Enjoy a quaint cottage by the sea with breathtaking sunrise & beautiful sunsets. Access to small private beach. Sylvan beach in LaPorte is close by. There’s a wildlife preserve beside the neighborhood & a walking trail that runs along Todville Rd & Pine Gully. Conveniently located near the Kemah Boardwalk, NASA, 30 min to Galveston & 30 min to downtown Houston.

Please park on the left side of the driveway or on the concrete slab to the left of the property. Please only use half of the concrete slab if you need this area for extra parking as other neighbors also use it.

Do not park on the first and second streets from the beach. They ticket for this.

Adorable Cottage in a quiet deer-filled neighborhood

We had a delightful stay in this charming cottage. The amenities were everything we needed and more. The neighborhood was quiet and serene with deer just strolling around. The beach is a bit of a walk for this old lady, but I managed! The location to local area sites to see was very convenient and The owner was very responsive to our reservation requests and you can truly tell she takes pride in her home. Highly recommend for a nice, relaxing stay!

So cute

The property is exactly as shown online. It's a little out of the way but the beach is a 2 minute drive or 10 minutes walk. There are deer and peacefulness. The property has all you need and a few good places to eat nearby. Including Kemah.

Quaint

The mermaid inn is a quaint little cottage and decorated cute as a bugs ear. We really didn’t spend much time in the cottage as we were in the area for a friend’s birthday but it was just perfect for our needs. Only one issue with shower and the host would have looked at it if notified sooner but like I said we really weren’t there that much.
