An open floor plan welcomes you into the living area furnished with a sizable couch, two recliners and an accent chair focused around a enormous 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 roomy 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 and Tricks to get the best vacation property experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• To get the best rental within budget, we recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for local tours and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking your prefect Cape Fear area vacation home:

• Start by choosing potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Mermaid Manor: Ocean View Home with Private Pool, Close to Beach Access has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper 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.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.

During your stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• At Check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
