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.

All reservations are offered to purchase travel insurance for an additional 7.75% of your rent and taxes. Please refer to the rental agreement you will be signing to accept or decline this coverage as your refund in the time of cancellation will be dependent on your acceptance in most situations. All guests must sign and return a rental agreement before reservations are confirmed. Payment for travel insurance, if accepted, will be processed upon receipt of this signed agreement.

Standard cancellation policy is: CANCELLATION POLICY and SUBSTITUTIONS - Any changes, including changing dates, switching of properties, or complete cancellations will invoke the cancellation policy.

Please do not ask. All cancellations are subject to a fifty dollar ($50.00) cancellation fee. Cancellations must be submitted to Agent in writing (email is acceptable). In the event of cancellation, no refund of monies paid will be made unless the Property is re-rented for the same price and time period of this original vacation rental agreement. If the Property is re-rented for a lesser price or time period, the original Tenant will receive a refund for the difference between the originally agreed upon rental amount and the rebooked rental amount as Owner is entitled to receive the full amount of the original rental agreement.

AB Beach House

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.

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 .

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!

Great location

The biggest plus to this place was the location, not to far from beach, shops, etc, house was clean, but had crickets inside and out, could hear them all night long also, main bed was kinda hard, furniture could be updated. There was no toaster either. Lawn care company had blowed grass all over our car also, Otherwise was a nice house to stay for a couple days and would book again if the price is good.

Spring Break 2023

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.
