A true home away from home.
Please read our reviews and you will see many who really appreciate our little piece of heaven by the sea.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!
You can find us East side between the highways in Nags Head at MP 10.5.
This has us centrally located, close to the beach, eateries, stores, the YMCA, the new Dowdy Park, and a mile from the Nags Head Fishing Pier.
We are two short blocks away from the beach. It's a 3 min. walk with direct beach access at either end of the street.
We are a block from the grocery store as well, it doesn't get much better!

Summer season weeks run Saturday to Saturday. Sheets and towels are supplied complimentary of charge. You will find clean sheets along with 6 bath towel packages in the bedrooms.

We are always updating and upgrading. We have modern amenities but still retain the homey "bungalow by the sea" feel.

The kitchen is well equipped. It has plenty of dishes, glassware, pots and pans, and modest appliances. Dishwashing liquid, dishwashing pods, hand soap, trash bags, & coffee filters are outfitted for you. The breakfast nook seats 6, and is the ideal place for comfortable family meals, game playing and appreciating time together.

The main living area is gorgeously decorated, with new furnishings, and bespoke touches and artwork throughout. We have a new 55" intelligent TV. Those with a Netflix account can log in to watch your favorite shows.

Bedroom 1, first floor, Queen bed, TV and nice size closet. It connects to the first floor bathroom.
Bedroom 2, second floor, (bunk room) 2 singles, great for the kids, they adore the bunk beds, and will savor the TV and DVD player. The bunk room connects to a Jack and Jill bath.
Bedroom 3, second floor, Queen bed, has a TV & DVD player and a huge closet. There's also a sitting nook attached, ideal for curling up with a good book. This bedroom also connects to the Jack and Jill bath.
The loft area is added space for the kids to enjoy board games, or if you need a peaceful space to simply chill out, or work (if you must). We have complimentary wifi.

We have a mud room on the ground floor, with a full-sized washer and dryer. Also in the mud room, you'll find a closet with beach equipment for our guests. We have beach chairs, an umbrella, a cooler, body boards, corn hole, some sand toys and other fun games. Lastly there's a new wagon to haul it all to the beach.

Outside, you'll find two decks, one is covered and shady for calming after a day in the sun, or if you are a sun worshiper, the upper deck is complete with table and chairs for al fresco dining. Our back yard is cavernous, flat, and fenced in for security and added privacy. It's ideal for cornhole, playing horseshoes, bocce ball or whatever outdoor games your family enjoys.

Lastly we have a keyless entry, nice outdoor shower, a swing, a new gas grille, and picnic table.

****Please make sure you read and understand all aspects of our rental agreement and home rules. Specifically, our occupancy limit and penalties for noncompliance, hurricane policy, and the "no animals allowed" rule. We are true animal lovers, but sadly we have family members that are highly allergic. There are many pet friendly homes along the Outer Banks. We would be more than happy to recommend some to you so you can bring your furry family member along without any worries.
Thanks for understanding. Any questions? Feel complimentary to ask! We are happy to help.

After being guests ourselves for many years, we strive to make this home our, and your home away from home. We have put a lot of thought and care into making it a nice, clean, organized, safe environment for everybody. After all, it's about family and friends, spending time together with the ones you appreciate, and making memories that last a lifetime!!

How to get the best Nags Head vacation property experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

  • Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
  • Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties.
  • Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
  • Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
  • Find a copy of your local Nags Head visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain money saving offers on local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to choose the best vacation rental in the Nags Head area:

  • To start, have your family commit to trip dates and a budget.
  • Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Three Mermaids Cottage, Nags Head, 2 blocks to the beach, read our reviews! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
  • Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you book the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
  • If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
  • Looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
  • Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

More considerations:

  • Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your . Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
  • Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
  • Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
  • Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if there is a dispute.
  • Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
  • Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition.
  • Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
