Charming Oceanview Cottage Your Outer Banks vacation will be all about joy and relaxation when you book The Merry Mermaid! This newly redecorated and freshly painted oceanview cottage features spacious decks, ocean views, a large great room and 3 cozy bedrooms that are sure to help you wind down and embrace the laid-back coastal lifestyle. When you're craving a leisurely stroll on the sand or plan to spend the whole day splashing in the waves, the nearest beach access is only 500-ft (just a 2-minute walk) away!
As you pull up, you will find plenty of parking space in the driveway and beneath the home in the carport. An enclosed outdoor shower makes it easy to rinse off after spending a day at the beach while your very own Private Pool* is perfect for a cool dip on a warm day. And be sure to take some time to unwind in the bubbly Hot Tub after a day at the beach! You'll love the raised single-level living which helps keep the family together and allows for gorgeous views. A welcoming great room offers plenty of natural light, comfortable furnishings and a wall-mounted Flat-Screen for catching up on your favorite TV show. Cook up your favorite meal at home in the fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances. There is plenty of seating in the adjoining dining area and additional seating at the kitchen counter. Wash your clothes throughout your stay in the convenient laundry closet.
When it's time to turn in for the evening, a King Master Bedroom with Cable TV and an attached Master Bath is the perfect place to unwind. Two other bedrooms are located right down the hall and share access to a full hall bath—one room containing a Queen bed with Cable TV and the other with Pyramid Bunk bed with a trundle and a Cable TV that is perfect for the kids. The huge deck spans the entire length of the home and is a great place for watching sunrises over the coast. For an even better view, climb up the crow's nest deck to the top floor and enjoy a panoramic view of Nags Head.
Explore the Heart of Nags Head Visitors to The Merry Mermaid will love the prime location in the heart of Nags Head where they will be able to walk to great restaurants, shops, and other local attractions. Less than a 2-minute walk away, check out the Seagreen Gallery full of local art, jewelry, souvenirs and other items made from recycled materials. For lunch, pick up some steamed crab legs, a classic burger, a tasty sandwich, or some fried oysters from Red Drum Taphouse. To see the area's natural beauty, climb to the top of Jockey's Ridge State Park (the tallest living sand dune on the East Coast) or take a walk through the Nags Head Woods (a natural marine forest full of local flora and fauna). Several fishing piers line Nags Head's wide, open beaches and allow for anglers of any skill level to try their luck reeling in the biggest catch. For a day of shopping, try the Outlets Nags Head or head to a neighboring OBX town for a little exploration. No matter how you want to spend your vacation, The Merry Mermaid will serve as the perfect home base!
