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 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 simple 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!

Rental home tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Oak Island. Book your vacation home in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Decide 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 Cape Fear area rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If not, call the host before booking the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what configuration is suitable for your trip.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.
• Visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your visit:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great time? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
