Mermaid Cove - Blue Bay

amazing house stay . one of the best in my life so far. The beach was 5 min walk and one of the most beautiful beaches I have seen so far. The owner was super friendly and responded fast if I had any questions.

The wifi connection was unstable in the first day because of windy weather. But later they fixed it. If you dont have a car the mobility can be difficult, but that applies to the whole island. There are few resturants and bar near the beach which operates until 10 pm. so if u r a late night party guy this area is not for you.

Excellent location, only about 100 m from the beach Very close to Blue Bay Marine Park and good snorkeling with turtles and colorful fish (Don’t expect lots of colorful, healthy coral though - much of the reef is unfortunately affected by coral bleaching) Clean and practical apartment Two bathrooms, very convenient for a family of four Nice balcony with sea view Quiet area overall

Balcony too small for four people to sit or eat together comfortably No washing machine in the apartment Planes pass overhead regularly, sometimes also at night; quite loud, although not too frequent No grocery shopping within walking distance Communication with the host could have been warmer and more responsive

The location is exceptional and the apartment is truly beautiful, complete with every comfort.

Close to the beach, spacious, two separate bedrooms and bathrooms.

Die Unterkunft hatte für uns eine super Lage - der direkte Zugang zum Strand war einfach super. Man konnte direkt im Riff eine Runde schnorcheln - die Unterwasserwelt war sehr vielfältig und schön - wir haben beispielsweise zwei Mal Schildkröten gesehen. Auch fühlte man sich durch die bewachte Wohnanlage und die zusätzliche Umzäunung des Grundstücks sehr sicher. Die Wohnung war mit allem ausgestattet - vollständig bestückte Küche und auch der Rest der Wohnung ließ uns nichts vermissen. Eine große Shopping-Mall ist mit Auto in 5 Minuten erreichbar. Die kleinen Supermärkte und Restaurants im Ort sind auch empfehlenswert. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war unkompliziert und verlief ausschließlich digital.

Die Unterkunft war etwas hellhörig (damit meinen wir nicht die Flugzeuge) - sondern eher die Wasserspülungen/Abflüsse der anderen Wohnungen. Einige Dinge z.B. der Balkon war schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, was uns aber nicht sonderlich gestört hat.

A 2 minutes de la plage ! Emplacement parfait !

Excellent séjour ! Tout était conforme à la description, logement propre, confortable et bien situé. La communication très facile. Je recommande sans hésitation. Merci encore 🙂

Seul petit point à noter : le bruit des avions, lié à la localisation, mais cela n’a rien à voir avec le propriétaire qui a été irréprochable.

Really close to the beach.. Had a partial view of the ocean

The stairs to the upper floor was a bit dangerous, going up and down. Not close to restaurants or stores.

Très beau logement, bien équipé , literie de bonne qualité, 2 salles de bain, quartier sécurisé. Proximité avec l' aéroport. plage magnifique à 60 mètres.

Rien

We used the apt 2 last nights of our holiday. It's very spacy, 2 bathrooms. Host very kind, close to the beach.

Cerca de una playa muy bonita donde puedes practicar snorkel fácilmente, cercanía al aeropuerto ideal para tus últimos días en Mauricio. Muchos detalles muy cuidados que hicieron una estancia agradable. Recomiendo tener coche porque aunque esta justo al lado de otros alojamientos , para cenar si queréis ir cerca del pueblo el camino es algo oscuro aunque seguro.

La cama no era del todo de mi agrado, junto con las almohadas, pasamos una noche algo incomoda. El ruido de los aviones no es tanto problema, los últimos vuelos están programados hasta las 12 de la noche y por la mañana son aviones pequeños que no son tan molestos.

Very nice and accommodating hosts, fast communication. Lovely, well located and spacious apartment with a nice terrace.

Lage super, 1 Minute zum Strand

Beautiful beach just one minute walk away. The flat had extra information like where to go to eat in Blue Bay and how to join boat excursions.

The place was amazing. Really spacious and clean. The owner was very friendly and attentive to all needs. Nice personal touch. Would highly recommend

Endroit calme, super pour un jeune couple. Proche de la plage.

Pas d'arrêt bus à proximité mais rien de méchant.

Le parking, la situation vis a vis de la plage et de l'aéroport, la sécurisation avec garde a l'entrée du lotissement. La rénovation des salles de bain prévue dans l'année apportera un plus supplémentaire pour les mettre au niveau de celle de l'appartement "petit cove"

Peut etre une rénovation d'ensemble en apportant plus de luminosité

Meernähe, Ruhe, viel Platz , Meerblick , Umgebung,

Das Beet war für 2 Personen etwas zu klein; ein Liegestuhl auf der Terrasse wäre schön gewesen. Total vertrocknete Pflanzen sind keine Zierde.

We enjoyed the "private" beach!

The bathroom could use a little renovation. In our opinion, the price of accommodation is a little overpriced.

Excellente situation et confortable. Super terrasse abritée , intime et malgré la pluie nous avons été satisfaits. Bonne réactivité de Stéphane.

Skvělý přístup k pláži, ubytování je za bránou, takže máte přístup k soukromější pláži. Na terase se dobře sedělo večer, není z ní však výhled. Hostitel je milý a pohodový.

Nedostatečný úklid ubytování, hlavně postel. Některé věci by chtělo vyměnit nebo vyčistit, mají již lehký odér.

I stayed in a one bedroom (small cove) flat, lovely beach feel, pretty decor. Very spacious and has a large terrace, can see the ocean (over the roof of the house in front, but works). Big modern bathroom, good shower. Kitchen has everything for cooking, big fridge and stove. Good towels and linen. There was a very useful map of surroundings for land and water sights...I followed the turtle directions and found one. Thank you! Should have stayed longer. Proximity to the airport is good.

Wish they had a safe for valuable, place should be safe, but just for the peace of mind (and insurance) would be nice to have it.

Tilava, hyvin varustettu

The location is superb, just a few steps from the beach. Beach towels are provided.

Shower kept going cold, not sure why. But after a few minutes, it would warm up again. Simple basics like a bottle of drinking water, tea bags, etc. would make it more welcoming.

Nähe zum Strand und zum Flughafen. Die Wohnung ist recht groß.

Küche und Utensilien waren schmuddelig. Ein Wäscheständer auf der Terrasse wäre nicht schlecht gewesen.

The property is very well located, just a couple of minutes walk to a stunning beach. There is secure parking and the accommodation is spacious and well equipped. The host Laura was very friendly and arrived promptly when we called to gain access to the property. The airport is only a 10 minute drive away, so there is a bit of noise from aeroplanes, but it isn't a busy airport!

The entire property

Everything was good.

Nonostante sia vicino all'aeroporto, il rumore non è fastidioso durante la notte; staff estremamente disponibile e premuroso sin dalla prenotazione; parcheggio interno; posizione vicinissima alla spiaggia

Pulizia non eseguita a dovere, per la quale l'host si è scusato molto ed è per questo che abbiamo dato la sufficienza; acqua calda che va e viene; bagni troppo piccoli e il soffitto è così basso che le persone alte non riescono a stare in piedi davanti allo specchio; aggiungeremmo lo stendino

The location was excellent, 1 minute around the corner and you are at the beach! It was also a quiet area, very peaceful and able to get a good sleep (occasional noise from planes didnt bother us). Apartment was nice and clean, owner was helpful whenever we sent a whatsapp message and the area felt safe and secure. The view from the main bedroom was beautiful, would stay again!

If you dont have a car there is no decent supermarket or anything within walking distance to grab supplies so bring some basic ones with you. If you have a car, there is a mall with supermarket 2km away. The hot water was playing up, we had to turn it on and off multiple times while having a shower to get the hot back on.

Very short walk to the lovely beach!

Might be better to have the television in the living room instead of the bedroom but just a suggestion, it didn’t affect our enjoyment 😊

Un très bon accueil, une bonne communication avec Stéphane avant l'arrivée tardive. Un bel appartement, avec de belles chambres spacieuses. Très proche d'une plage privée sur Blue bay et la réserve marine. Hôte réactif à toutes nos questions.

Il manque une terrasse plus indépendante pour le midi en particulier. Mais nous avons mangé à l'extérieur en général.

Leider war die Wettervorhersage für den Standort zu schlecht, sonst wären wir mit Sicherheit länger hier geblieben. War dann zum Schluss unserer Reise nur eine Nacht. Es ist total gemütlich eingerichtet. Es muss nicht immer top modern sein um sich wohlzufühlen.

Apartamento espacioso muy agradable. Desde la parcela se puede bajar a la playa directamente a dos minutos. Buena calidad precio

Emplacement idéal pour départ tôt le matin de l'aéroport

Qui dit près de l'aéroport dit nuisance sonore des avions, c'est évident. Il suffit d'en être conscient.

I loved the vibe of the property. Super beachy and a lot larger than what I expected! You get a full kitchen, large wardrobe, beautiful bedroom with a high ceiling and added benefit of being in a gated community. Plus a view of the ocean too! Also situated in the more quiet part of Blue Bay which is a bonus. The host was super responsive and always available if I needed anything which was also great! Make sure before arriving you receive an email on instructions on getting to the property. This is important.

The front door was a little difficult to open at times and the balcony didn’t have a lock on it. The aircraft noise was loud but it was only apparent during waking hours and not so frequent.

Allotjament prop de la platja en una zona residencial tranquil·la. Cuina ben equipada i bany amb gel i xampú. Es proporcionen tovalloles de platja, cosa que s'agraeix molt. Google maps ens va desviar per un altre camí i l'amfitrió ens va guiar per arribar correctament.

A uns 10 minuts caminant del centre i a la nit el camí no està gaire il·luminat; però no hi ha res que no se solucioni amb una llanterna :)

Very helpful owner. Very relaxing area.

The bed size🙂

We stayed 4 nights and really appreciated both the location and the house. We truly felt at home. It’s the perfect place to discover the southeast of Mauritius.

None

Blue Bay is beautiful, and the view from the apartment is nice.

We arrived very late due to holdup in passport control. No drinking water provided. The cutlery, plates, glasses, and cups were not clean with almost no soap and dirty sponge. Only hot water in the unit is in the shower and only minutes at a time. Second shower only able to use hand shower as fitting was broken. Owner did assist with dish soap and new sponge the next day. Close to the beach and able to snorkel, but the beach had lots of plastic.

location

all fine

Aesthetics and location

Could have been cleaned up properly after previous guest - Kettle had water

Very cosy!

The best thing about this apartment is its location - literally a two-minute walk to a very nice and quite beach. This made up for everything else. Another positive was communication with the owner - nothing to add here and it was super good. The owner also offers boat trips around and that's something I'd totally recommend. Feel free to read my review of Mermaid Safari in Google maps.

No doubt the apartment looks better in the pictures than in reality and here's why: (1) The AC is only on the first floor where you have the bedrooms but not downstairs. (2) The patio, which at Booking.com has a nice table a chairs and shutters, no longer had anything of it - it turned out the same furniture were to be found upstairs and the paint on the chairs was flaking heavily, not very pleasant in fact. (3) The faucets in the kitchen sink and bathroom washbasin are only for cold water. There, apparently, was hot water in the shower and it fact we had it after contacting the owner (kudos here for responsiveness and addressing all the questions immediately), but then after we came back in and wanted to take a shower, we couldn't get the hot water to run. But we had a short stay here so this was not such a big problem. For longer stays, this would have been problematic and we'd definitely have wanted the owner to address.

We had a great stay! The location was fantastic — just about 50 metres from the beach, making it super easy to walk down whenever we wanted. The unit was perfect for a lock-up-and-go setup, which made exploring the surrounding areas really convenient. It had everything we needed for a self-catering stay, and the beds were decent and comfortable. Both rooms had their own bathrooms and air-conditioning, which made it even more comfortable. Would definitely recommend!

There weren’t many issues, but a few small improvements could make the stay even better. It would be helpful to have a few extra pots, pans, and glasses in the kitchen for convenience. The fan downstairs was a bit old and could maybe be updated for better airflow. Nothing major, just a few little things that would add to an already great experience.

Location to beach

Direction to house

Perfect location for a couple gateaway. The place is clean and cosy and well maintained. You are 50m from the beach and the place is totally secured. I highly recommend.

Close to the airport. You will hear the planes every now and then but it's no big deal.

walking distance to a very nice beach

it is noisy from 6AM til 11PM due to airplanes flying directly above the house. The bathroom was stinky from the sink. The bathroom door was to be closed with a small bag of sand instead of a properly working door handle. The bed was narrow. It was a little bit pricey for this type of accommodation.

I read all the guests' reviews and host's responses and I was quite anxious to see how this place really was. Let's face it ... We guests are looking for a "perfect place" to stay but for different people "perfection" means different things. Me and my wife stayed in Mermaid Cove 2 nights and an extra 8 hours and we really liked it. Surely ... the apartment would appreciate some maintenance and the kitchen upgrade but on the other hand you are just 100 meters from the incredible beach in a safe gated community. The host was such a nice person. We had a couple smaller issues/comment and he immediately addressed them. We wish we would stay longer. No worries.... We will come back soon.

Overall great experience at Mermaid Cove - the Small Cove is bigger than what it looks like on the pictures. It is an extremely well-equipped apartment with a super cosy vibe - and it is very quiet (except for the occasional sound of the planes taking off/landing). Self-check in is super convenient, and the host was super responsive to our needs. We had a great time and will definitely be back and greatly recommend it. Bonus point is that it’s super close the beach!

The cottage was clean and comfortable and we have a lovely stay. Good location and friendly hosts. We will be back.

If you want accomodation that is near to airport, that could be the one. Beach is very close, so you can take a walk. Area is under camera system. Air con in every bedroom.

And because this is about 10-15 minutes from the airport, that means planes fly above your head. So you hear them pretty enough. Last one at 11pm and first about 4am. I missed clothes dryer. Door lock is not safe at all. The fan is rusty. The railing on the stairs needs to be tightened. And mirrors in the bathrooms are for small people.

The proximity to the beach with was nice and good for snorkeling. Good place for a stop before or after catching a flight.

There were 2 bathrooms, but both were at the second floor. Also there were no trash containers at the second floor.

1.Good location. 2.Exceptionally well host. 3. Neat and clean property 4. Next to the beach 5. Good communication with the host about all the relevant information required to stay in Mauritius. 6. Host is pro active and approachable on the phone. 7. Only suitable for a couple. Bed is a queen size. 8. AC in bed room. 9. Well decorated and maintained. 10. Positive feeling / vibes during the stay.

1. Bed should be king size and not queen 2. AC should also be drawing room although not that hot.

Enough space, cozy like a home and few steps to the sea, close to the Airport, really nice owner

I would be good if there will be a water boiler:)

Close proximity to the beach with great snorkeling.

Small bathrooms with not much ventilation.

Great apartment on great location. Easy communication with the owner. The kitchen was well equiped.

Just add to the instructions that the gates to the house aren't locked. It took us 15 minutes looking for the key locker before we realized that the first doors are unlocked:). Everything else exceeded our expectations.

Great location, just next to the Blue Bay beach!

The location is excellent just a stroll to the beach and close to the airport. Lots of space inside the apartment, the beds are comfy

We rented a cosy, comfortable, and clean apartment. It is not too far from the airport or the beach, which is wonderful. We enjoyed walking to the beach in the mornings. Additionally, the location is safe. The host, Stephan, is a very kind individual, and he was able to accommodate all of our requests. He always responded to our inquiries promptly.

In the shower, it's crucial to have a bath mat! 🛁 Without one, it could be a hazard for guests.

The apartment is very close to the airport, nice and clean. The staff is friendly, good communication. For a couple and an infant, the apartment is perfect, it has everything you need, and supermarket cloes by(where you can buy coke for 3 dollars rather than 12 dollars elsewhere )

Only one downside is the airplane. It could be lound at night, but it wasn't too big of a deal.

Location and a lovely retreat.

Nothing much.

The property was close to the airport and great value for money. Super friendly staff!

Downside of being so close to the airport was planes overhead 10pm and 4am.

Location

All rooms including bathrooms didn't have lock

Cozy apartment with all you need. Equipped kitchen, ac, terrace, private parking and short distance to beach and also airport. This must be the best stay in Blue Bay :)

Everything was perfect.

The self-check in instruction is very clear. The house is located within a gated community.

It was a perfect stay, all clean, furnished and 2 minutes walk from the beach. Also convinently near the airport. The owner is very responsive and kind.

The proximity of the airport has its cons with hearing the airplanes quite loud, but I knew this before booking, so no issue.

Close to the airport with a public beach just 300 meters from the property. The host was very friendly even drove us to the closest restaurant at our arrival.

-Its a cozy appartment with a nice terrace (we had the big one) and the small one is even better! -2 min from the beach where you can see fish and crabs -1km away from Bamboo- a great place to eat and have a drink -its quite (despite the planes from time to time) they dont fly at night anymore and I am myself very sensitive for noise and I slept like a baby -chairs outside in the shadow! -a super friendly,helpful and kond host!

-only the airplanes which are not really an issue -its was a bit hard to find,because there is no Mermaid sign at the gate

The atmosphere

The yard

Was well maintained, tidy and nicely decorated!

Nill

The host was very courteous and welcoming even if we have booked a stayed for an impromptu stay, only 2 hours before.

There is a quiet and clean beach by foot 3mins walk. The sea bed is very clean and nice.

The kitchenware and the fridge need a throughly clean.As there’s food stains and mold on it,that I had to clean up by myself. There is only one AC on the upper floor,and the stair handrail isn’t study and no blocked, which is really unsafe for families with young children. Mosquitos and bugs are everywhere No washing machine Indeed there has lots to improve.but you will get one the nice beach on this island
