About this property
Mermaid Cove: Minutes to beach
New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.
Prepare to be charmed by this inviting family-friendly cottage, just a few minutes' walk from the beach, shopping, dining, and other attractions. Mini-golf, Fort Macon State Park, golf courses, and the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores are all an easy drive away.
At home, start the day with coffee on your cozy front patio, then step inside to make some breakfast in the full kitchen. Throughout the home, you'll find coastal decor and lots of space to spread out, including a fully enclosed sunroom, a living room, and a family room with a TV and comfy leather furnishings. After a day on the sand, relax at home in the central AC while you pop in a DVD or watch some free cable. Use the WiFi to upload the day's pics to social media, then host a family cookout on the gas grill. Drift off to sleep in either well-appointed bedroom - another dreamy beach day awaits tomorrow.

Family vacation
We loved how cozy the house was. Short walking distance to the beach was so nice. Very close to shopping centers and restaurants too. We all had a wonderful time!
This was exactly as described! Everything in the house was nice. Convenient location and easy walk to the beach, shopping and food. Very centrally located so quick drive to anywhere we wanted to go!
Cozy house, good location. Plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 teens and a furry companion. Around a 3 minute walk to the beach, 1 minute walk to a good seafood restaurant. Family definitely enjoyed the stay, would recommend.

Sweet & Cozy Beachy Cottage
My husband & I really enjoyed this cottage… it was clean & we had everything we needed. Easy walk to the beach. The neighborhood was quaint & we would love to return with the kids this summer!
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.

A true, homey cottage!
I loved having no stairs, being in a neighborhood where we could easily walk to the beach. It’s very close to everything.

Fun cottage for small group.
Cottage was perfect for 2 with plenty of room. Small closed in part of the yard was wonderful for sitting outside and made it easy for the dogs to get off leash
Great location, tv's in both bedrooms and one in family room. Easy walk to beach, even my 70 year old wife with back issues was able to walk to beach. Real good time

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 .
This was a wonderfully renovated and well equipped spot. Plenty of room for the two of us and our dog. Room for more if needed. We very much enjoyed our stay, would book this location again. The walk to the beach was fast and easy!!!!

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!

Response from VrboOwner on 15 Apr, 2024
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Brooke. We are so glad that you had a wonderful time at our beautiful home. We appreciate you letting us know there is room for improvement, and we will pass your comments regarding the grill on to our local operations manager for consideration. We hope to have another chance to impress you in the future.
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.
This cottage was perfect for our group for Spring Break. The lay out allowed us to have privacy between the teens and adults and the trundle bed came in handy with company one night. I loved the little enclosed court yard to sit out of the cool winds way. The walk to the beach and shopping was convenient and I would definately recommend this to anyone.

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.
