Awesome place to stay!

Such a cute little cottage at the beach, well taken care of, and well decorated. It’s very close to the beach and only a block or two from the bridge to the island. We will stay here again next time we’re in Holden Beach area! Cheers to the host for sure :) thanks for a great mini vacation,

The Mermaid Cottage was perfect getaway.

The cottage was super cute and perfect for me and my daughter. The beach is a quick drive over the bridge so location was great. The cottage was clean and cutely decorated. We had a great time. Jamie was very quick to respond to our request and any questions. Definitely recommended stay.
