About this property

Oceanside condo just steps from the beach and plenty of local restaurants!

Incredible views from multi-level decks and convenient 250-foot walk to the beach are just a few of the highlights of Mermaid’s Den, a well-appointed family friendly two-bedroom condo located in the Sea Dunes community in the heart of Kitty Hawk. The community itself features a pool, hot tub, tennis and racquetball courts and exercise room each exclusively for use by the guests in this charming little neighborhood. The cozy interior meticulously decorated with bright beach decor offers a unique layout not found in many of our condos utilizing all three levels of living space. Upstairs you will find an open living space with connecting kitchen, dining and living room and half bathroom. The living room comes equipped with a large flat screen TV with full cable package, DVD player. This all leads out to a sun deck outfitted with high end polywood furniture and fantastic views of one of our most legendary surf breaks called Laundromats. On the second level you find the main sleeping quarters with two bedrooms both of which are en suites with flatscreen TVs and cable. First up you have the versatile pyramid bunk room, double on the bottom twin up top with another twin trundle underneath. The rear bedroom provides a king-sized bed and access to a private shaded deck also with views of the Atlantic, providing a quiet spot to read a book with the backdrop of crashing waves. Downstairs a finished garage provides ample storage for your beach gear, a cabana shower, washer, dryer and even an extra fridge.

Mermaid’s Den’s proximity to a local surfing hot spot makes for an ideal location for some, but the beach and surrounding areas provides easy access to restaurants, shopping and just those looking for a beach day with the kids. Just to the south, you'll find a lifeguarded beach manned each day from Memorial Day to the end of September. For food and entertainment, two of the only oceanfront restaurants/bars and local hot spots, Black Pelican and Hurricane Moe’s, are easily walkable from Mermaid’s Den. Less than a mile away are Captain Frank’s and John’s Drive In, one famous for hot dogs and the other milk shakes. When we say this conveniently located condo at milepost 4.25 is in the heart of Kitty Hawk, it truly is the epicenter of our little beach town. Imagine what you will find if you venture out a little further?

The reputation of the Outer Banks was built on smaller affordable family vacations. In today’s age where bigger is better it’s become hard for families to find the perfect private vacation spot without sacrificing the creature comforts we have all become accustomed to.

Please note this home does not include bed linens and towels, however, an optional package can be purchased for an additional charge.

The community pool dates are 05/17/25-10/13/25. Pool dates are subject to change based on the HOA.

Excellent property a short walk away from the beach and walking distance to several shops and restaurants.There was a ton of beach gear in the garage and we could have saved ourselves the trouble of bringing a bunch of stuff as they had boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas, a beach wagon for hauling stuff, coolers and even a small beach tent. If you wanted it, they also had bikes and kayaks. The little trundle bed under the bunks had too thin of a mattress to be useful for our teenagers so one boy ended up sleeping on the living room couch. The couch is a sleeper sofa, but again, the mattress is the typical thin variety. These would work well for small children but teens and adults would find the mattresses inadequate. There is a carbon monoxide detector in the house which I saw was questioned in the description. They provided a nice starter pack with household essentials but you'll want to pick up toilet paper and more trash bags if you're staying more than a couple days. There seemed to be a few non working outlets around the house but that was easy enough to work around. Be sure to stagger your showers since you'll run out of hot water after a couple back to back. The biggest complaint we had was the flapper on the oven exhaust was apparently broken so every time the wind blew (and it was very windy) the flapper would open and snap shut loudly. Not ideal when you have someone sleeping on the couch next to the kitchen. I let the property manager know so hopefully it's fixed!
