About this property

Mermaid Cove: Minutes to beach

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

    Welcome to your coastal escape! This inviting bungalow is your convenient relaxation destination for fun-filled adventures, sun-soaked days, and tranquil rest. Start your morning with coffee on the private back patio. Hit the beach early (2 min walk away) for easy set up and access. Rain forecasted? Brush up on your history at Fort Macon State Park or explore biology at North Carolina Aquarium (both a 5-minute drive away). Options for cooking in or eating out abound. There is ample room to spread out and enjoy your surroundings. Delve into a book while lounging in the sunroom, play a board game, wash your worries away in the outdoor shower. Vacation is easy when you arrive at Mermaid Cove!

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.

AB Beach House

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.

Staying here was manageable for our group of 4 adults. We rented this house solely for the reason of it being pet friendly. After we had already paid in full and signed the renters agreement contract, we found out they switched the home to no pets allowed on the website. I figured the host company could’ve at least reached out earlier on behalf of that so we could have found a different place. Parking should be listed as 1 vehicle because they ask you not to park in the grass. Other than that, just a couple of dead ants on the headboard of the bed and water bugs in the bathroom. On the good side it’s a place to stay at the beach and close the the center of AB and Morehead/Beaufort are only 10-20 mins traffic depending.
