Soak up the sun while you sit by the pool, relax in the screened porch on the lower level as the sea breeze blows by or light up the fire pit for a calming nighttime with the ones you appreciate!

An open floor plan welcomes you into the living area furnished with a enormous couch, two recliners and an accent chair focused around a sizable mounted flat screen TV. The couch is a queen sleeper couch that can be used for additional sleeping space if needed.

The open space leads into the kitchen and dining area where you will find seating for four at the dining table as well as two more at the bar.

The cavernous kitchen is lined with stainless steel appliances, white countertops and cabinets to go along with a huge island ideal for prepping a meal or serving up some tasty appetizers.

The master suite flows off the dining area and welcomes you with a king bed, huge walk-in closet, private bathroom with a dual vanity and walk-in shower, and is rounded out with private access to the back screened-in deck.

The bunk room, located on the ocean-facing side of the home is finished with a twin-over-double bunk bed, closet space and vistas of ocean across the way. There is also a twin trundle tucked under the bunk bed.

Connected to the bunk room by a shared full bathroom is the final bedroom that features a queen bed, constructed-in desk and closet space for your vacation essentials. A pack and play and a high chair are also included for your little ones.

An additional half bathroom and private office space also feed off the living area so you can find that ideal work life balance when you visit the coast!

Outdoor entertaining and relaxation is painless on both porches! The front porch offers rockers where you can sit and listen to the waves crash and pelicans glide by over the water.

The back screened porch accepts you to dine outside without in comfort. The back porch also provides access to the backyard and the pool where you can make memories of a lifetime!

Whether you are ready to jump into the ocean or the pool, both options await you at Mermaid Manor!

Tips to get the optimal rental home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in the Cape Fear area area. To book the largest vacation home within budget, we strongly suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Cape Fear area restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Often, rental management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and picking the rightrental home:

• Choose a group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Mermaid Manor: Ocean View Home with Private Pool, Close to Beach Access has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available online. If not, email the host before booking the home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.
• Does your group require unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

During your stay:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of concerns.
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to propel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
