Mermaid Cove: Minutes to beach

New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.

Prepare to be charmed by this inviting family-friendly cottage, just a few minutes' walk from the beach, shopping, dining, and other attractions. Mini-golf, Fort Macon State Park, golf courses, and the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores are all an easy drive away.

At home, start the day with coffee on your cozy front patio, then step inside to make some breakfast in the full kitchen. Throughout the home, you'll find coastal decor and lots of space to spread out, including a fully enclosed sunroom, a living room, and a family room with a TV and comfy leather furnishings. After a day on the sand, relax at home in the central AC while you pop in a DVD or watch some free cable. Use the WiFi to upload the day's pics to social media, then host a family cookout on the gas grill. Drift off to sleep in either well-appointed bedroom - another dreamy beach day awaits tomorrow.

All reservations are offered to purchase travel insurance for an additional 7.75% of your rent and taxes. Please refer to the rental agreement you will be signing to accept or decline this coverage as your refund in the time of cancellation will be dependent on your acceptance in most situations. All guests must sign and return a rental agreement before reservations are confirmed. Payment for travel insurance, if accepted, will be processed upon receipt of this signed agreement.

Standard cancellation policy is: CANCELLATION POLICY and SUBSTITUTIONS - Any changes, including changing dates, switching of properties, or complete cancellations will invoke the cancellation policy. Agent recommends all Renters purchase travel insurance offered at time of booking to protect them in the event of an unexpected event affecting their vacation.

Please do not ask. All cancellations are subject to a fifty dollar ($50.00) cancellation fee. Cancellations must be submitted to Agent in writing (email is acceptable). In the event of cancellation, no refund of monies paid will be made unless the Property is re-rented for the same price and time period of this original vacation rental agreement. If the Property is re-rented for a lesser price or time period, the original Tenant will receive a refund for the difference between the originally agreed upon rental amount and the rebooked rental amount as Owner is entitled to receive the full amount of the original rental agreement. Agent will make every effort to re-rent the Property at the full amount. Tenant acknowledges that Agent has full discretion on negotiating rental rates in an effort to get the Property re-rented and make the Owner whole, while also attempting to get the Tenant the highest refund possible.

Fun cottage for small group.

Cottage was perfect for 2 with plenty of room. Small closed in part of the yard was wonderful for sitting outside and made it easy for the dogs to get off leash

Perfect cozy vacation cottage.

This is the perfect spot for a relaxing fall beach trip. Quiet neighborhood only 3 blocks away from the ocean and nice clean cottage. The small outdoor fenced area was nice to sit out in and my dogs loved it. This is the second time we've stayed here and the new furniture layout only made it better. I'd recommend this to any couple or smallish family .

Cute Cottage

We loved the location! Walking distance to beach, shops and food. The neighborhood was quiet as well. I wish they hadn't advertised having a grill though b/c we weren't able to use it due to how nasty it was. Overall a cute and comfortable place for 6 people!

Good to be back home

Previously owned 2 houses closer to ocean a few streets away. Love this area. This house was absolutely amazing. EVERYTHING you needed, not one single spot of unused space. Extremely clean. Great price. Wonderful location.

Vintage vibes

The house was very clean and smelled clean; couldn't tell it was pet friendly based on smell. It's an older home that's been updated and upgraded in areas. It has vintage features without being creepy. Close walk to beach in a nice neighborhood. Also, quiet considering how close it is to the main road.

Cute but could use some improvement

Cute house! The location is perfect for what I needed, and it was a great stay for two people. Be sure to look at the photos as there is no full size sofa and the bathrooms are small, no handheld shower fixtures. Parking is limited and it can be a tight squeeze getting by the car to the door, but it would help if the bushes were trimmed. Most of the place was clean, except the floors, and there were some bugs. Take slippers to wear at all times or your feet may get very dirty. The rental rate should stay lower than other rentals nearby for the aforementioned reasons. It was comfortable overall and good enough that I would rent again depending on the nightly rate.

Loved the location of the cute, quaint cottage, as it was close to the beach and other things in AB. It had plenty of space for just the two of us, with lots of windows to let the sun in. Check in was easy and the management staff were very responsive.

Great location

The biggest plus to this place was the location, not to far from beach, shops, etc, house was clean, but had crickets inside and out, could hear them all night long also, main bed was kinda hard, furniture could be updated. There was no toaster either. Lawn care company had blowed grass all over our car also, Otherwise was a nice house to stay for a couple days and would book again if the price is good.
