Upgrades for 2024: Brand new pool! New Deck & Siding!

Charming Oceanview Cottage
Your Outer Banks vacation will be all about joy and relaxation when you book The Merry Mermaid! This newly redecorated and newly painted oceanview bungalow features roomy decks, ocean vistas, a huge great room and 3 comfortable bedrooms that are sure to help you wind down and embrace the laid-back coastal lifestyle. When you're craving a leisurely walk on the sand or plan to spend the whole day splashing in the waves, the nearest beach access is only 500-ft (just a 2-min. walk) away!

As you pull up, you will find plenty of parking space in the driveway and beneath the home in the carport. An enclosed outdoor shower makes it simple to rinse off after spending a day at the beach while your very own Private Pool* is ideal for a cool dip on a warm day. You'll appreciate the raised single-level living which helps keep the family together and accepts for gorgeous vistas. A welcoming great room offers plenty of natural light, cozy furnishings and a wall-mounted Flat-Screen for catching up on your favorite TV show. Cook up your favorite meal at home in the entirely equipped kitchen with modern appliances. There is plenty of seating in the adjoining dining area and additional seating at the kitchen counter. Wash your clothes throughout your stay in the convenient laundry closet.

When it's time to turn in for the evening, a King Master Bedroom with Cable TV and an attached Master Bath is the ideal place to relax. Two other bedrooms are located right down the hall and share access to a full hall bath—one room containing a Queen bed with Cable TV and the other with Pyramid Bunk bed with a trundle and a Cable TV that is ideal for the kids. The giant deck spans the entire length of the home and is a great place for watching sunrises over the coast. For an even better view, climb up the crow's nest deck to the top floor and savor a expansive view of Nags Head.

Explore the Heart of Nags Head
Visitors to The Merry Mermaid will adore the prime location in the heart of Nags Head where they will be able to walk to great eateries, stores, and other local attractions. Less than a 2-min. walk away, check out the Seagreen Gallery full of local art, jewelry, souvenirs and other items made from recycled materials. For lunch, pick up some steamed crab legs, a classic burger, a tasty sandwich, or some fried oysters from Red Drum Taphouse. For dinner, try Dirty Dick's Crab House or Mahi Mahi's Island Grille. To see the area's natural beauty, climb to the top of Jockey's Ridge State Park (the tallest living sand dune on the East Coast) or take a walk through the Nags Head Woods (a natural marine forest full of local flora and fauna). Several fishing piers line Nags Head's wide, open beaches and allow for anglers of any skill level to try their luck reeling in the biggest catch. For a day of shopping, try the Outlets Nags Head or head to a neighboring OBX town for a little exploration. No matter how you want to spend your vacation, The Merry Mermaid will serve as the ideal home base!

How to find the best Nags Head rental experience:

How to get the best value:

Summertime is the most expensive season in the Nags Head area. To book the best rental home for your budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Nags Head restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
Often, property management companies supply Nags Head area visitor guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Nags Head visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, selecting, and booking the best Nags Head rental:

First, have your family select the best dates and a max budget.
Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 6009 The Merry Mermaid * 2 Min Walk to Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you book the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
Looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your . Put the host's information in your smartphone.
Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
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 order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
Did you have a great time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
