Upgrades for 2025: New, bubbly Hot Tub!
Upgrades for 2024: Brand new pool! New Deck & Siding!

Charming Oceanview Cottage
Your Outer Banks vacation will be all about joy and relaxation when you book The Merry Mermaid! This freshly redecorated and newly painted oceanview bungalow features roomy decks, ocean vistas, a sizable great room and 3 comfortable bedrooms that are sure to help you wind down and embrace the laid-back coastal lifestyle. When you're craving a leisurely walk 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-min. 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 painless to rinse off after spending a day at the beach while your very own Private Pool* is ideal for a cool dip on a warm day. And be sure to take some time to relax in the bubbly Hot Tub after a day at the beach! You'll appreciate the raised single-level living which helps keep the family together and accepts for elegant vistas. A welcoming great room offers plenty of natural light, cozy furnishings and a wall-mounted Flat-Screen for catching up on your favorite TV show. Cook up your favorite meal at home in the entirely 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 ideal place to relax. 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 ideal for the kids. The humongous 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 savor a expansive view of Nags Head.

Explore the Heart of Nags Head
Visitors to The Merry Mermaid will adore the prime location in the heart of Nags Head where they will be able to walk to great eateries, stores, and other local attractions. Less than a 2-min. 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. For dinner, try Dirty Dick's Crab House or Mahi Mahi's Island Grille. 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 ideal home base!

Nags Head vacation rental tips and tricks:

When to go & When to reserve a Nags Head rental home:

Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Nags Head vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides have money saving offers on nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Make a plan and pick the right Nags Head rental home:

Start by selecting the best vacation week and a spending budget.
Determine how many beds and the configuration your group needs. 6009 The Merry Mermaid * 2 Min Walk to Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Nags Head vacation rental search.
Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what is best for your trip.
Visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Tips for a fantastic stay:

Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
To make sure damages aren't linked to your visit, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the property manager immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
Be respectful. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would back home.
Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
Did your family have a great vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
