About this property

Charming Ocean View Home With a Community Pool

Mermaid's Tale welcomes you to her adventure by the sea! We are directly across the street from beach access to the amazing white sand Ocean Isle Beach and also across the street from the Summer Place HOA pool. We have 4 comfy bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. There are two 2nd floor bedrooms which have private baths with showers and 2 main floor bedrooms that share a large Jack and Jill bath with a tub/shower combo. The large vaulted central living room/kitchen/dining has plenty of space for your family or group to cook, dine and relax together. When we purchased the house we renovated the kitchen with a fresh white and turquoise color scheme, quartz island counter top, and new appliances. We replaced all the carpeting and bedroom flooring. There is a 55" TV in the living room, visible from the kitchen and dining areas. There is also house wide WIFI access. The covered front porch has limited ocean view but plenty of shade for morning coffee and lazy afternoons. The backyard is fenced and ready to hang out in and do some grilling. We absolutely love our home and Ocean Isle Beach for its relaxed and casual beauty and we know you will too!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This was our second annual cousins girls beach trip where 5 of us girls (all cousins) get together for a weekend away at the beach. This house was perfect for our stay. Right across the street from the beach access for an easy walk to the sand, plus the pool across the other street for a fun alternative afternoon hang out spot. The house had what we needed and was clean and cozy for our stay.

Very spacious. The kitchen is well appointed and labeled, so items can be replaced properly for next guest. The bikes were ready to ride with great tires. The porch is great with lots of seating. The place feels bigger than what is advertised! I understand why this host has so many return customers. The 5 star ratings are legit.

Wonderful spring break

We loved staying at Mermaid’s Tale! The proximity to the town center and the beach were perfect. We walked to the park every day and were steps away from the beach access. It was lovely! And great communication with the host.

Can’t wait to come back!

This was our 2nd year at Mermaid’s Tale and we were already planning our 3rd before we left. The house was exactly as described; clean, stocked throughout the house and beach chairs, games, etc. Communication with the owners was very fast and they were very accommodating. A major plus for being just across the street to the beach access and pool since we had some kiddos. Thank you for a great vacation!

About the host

Hosted by Jean and Steve Wolfe

Host profile image
We relocated to Ocean Isle Beach, NC from St. Paul, MN and loved it! We have always been avid boaters with a deep love of the outdoors and especially the beach. When the opportunity arose to come to OIB, we jumped at the chance to live near the ocean. We had 2 daughters in college and an empty nest, so we decided to fill our extra time with buying a beach house and making it our own. We spent the 6 months after we arrived renovating our house and turning it into "Mermaid's Tale". We are excited to share it with you!

Why they chose this property

Our family was initially drawn to Ocean Isle Beach because of the call from the ocean after living in the Midwest our whole lives. So, when we started researching the properties on the Island, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to be right across the street from the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. Not to mention when you want to get away form the salt and sand, we are also directly across from our local community pool. With the kids not living at home anymore, we had plenty of time to renovate Mermaid's Tale and turn it into our dream ocean side home. In addition, an ideal vacation rental with its four bedrooms and three full baths for plenty of privacy and comfort. Vacation groups and families will also enjoy the combined kitchen-dining-living space for games, relaxing, and group meals. Although Mermaid's tale is a rental, we hope you will be able to feel at home and as comfortable as we do when staying here in OIB!

What makes this property unique

The ocean view at Mermaid's Tale and the sound of crashing waves through open windows or from the porch are what initially drew us here. The open floor plan perfectly fits the way we live and entertain. I still pinch myself every time I walk across the street for my beach walk!
