Our family had such a special vacation here. Rose was very welcoming and accommodating! There is crosswalks to walk to the beach which worked out really well for us. Grocery close by and teens had freedom to walk to duck donuts and shopping. The place was clean and cozy…great AC for the heat! Loved under the deck and a nice quiet neighborhood. We would love to return here! Thank you Rose!

due to length of stay, most OBX rentals required a week long stay... thankfully we came across this location that didn't. Rose was accommodating and maintained great communication with me in the week leading up to check-in.
What initially was just meant to be a weekend spent with friends for my birthday turned into a proposal with my now fiancée. Everything was perfect for this to happen and would not have been possible without the cute cottage.

This adorable little cottage was perfect for our family! It was nicely updated, clean and very well stocked with linens. With five of us we never ran out of towels. We have three boys, 17, 16 and 9. We had plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy their time while we were there. It's a very short walk to the beach with a shortcut path in the front yard. If you choose to drive to the beach, there are beach access parking areas just down the street. Grocery store, gas station, retail stores and most importantly DUCK DOUGHNUTS are right next door. I cooked several meals during our stay and the kitchen is well stocked. There is also a gas grill and we used that. If there is anything you find you need that isn't there, Wayne and Rose will do their best to accommodate you. We handlined for crabs one afternoon. Wayne gave us directions to the best spot to catch crabs and while we were out he brought over his propane tank, cooker stand and steamer pot for us to use. Dinner was delicious that night! My older boys loved the outdoor shower and I loved less sand to clean up. There are lots of puzzles, board games and yard games for the kids to entertain themselves with on rainy afternoons. The Wifi is teenager approved as well. The listing says no TV, but they do have one with streaming services on it.

The Mermaids purse was a comfortable home base for us to stay on our trip to the outer banks. The beds were comfortable and The house was well equipped with what we needed to make meals for the family. We are used to sitting at a table together, our three boys were able to sit at the counter bar to eat. A couple of kitchen chairs would have been helpful for my husband and I to sit at the small table. The location felt private and was close to the beach and other sights we were interested in visiting. There was noise from the main road and car wash early in the mornings. Rose was welcoming and gave us lots of helpful insider information for parking and things to do. She provided toys and boogie boards for the kids to use at the beach. She also left a basket of snacks and goodies for us to enjoy. Overall we enjoyed our stay at the Mermaids Purse.

This place was perfect for our family and dogs! We loved that it was at the end of the road against trees for taking the dogs out.
The house was comfortable and setup nicely! We found everything we needed in the house. We loved how it was close to everything and the neighborhood was quiet.
Rose is a sweetheart and welcomed us with cookies and fresh eggs from her chickens! We will definitely try to book here again in the future 😀

Wonderful beach cottage in a quiet neighborhood, with a short drive to the beach. The cottage is very clean, has cute decor, and Rose is a great host. Our furbabies loved the private backyard, lovely place to stay with pets!

This is our second year staying here. Both times we’ve had a wonderful stay. Plenty of cooking utensils to use so if you want to cook you can. Our favorite part of the stay was seeing the chickens that hang out around the house. They’ve greeted us both times on our first day and give our family a lot of laughs! This is a lovely home close to the beach!

My family stayed here over a long weekend and loved it. We enjoyed the short walking distance to the beach and grocery store. The house itself was perfect for our needs - the kitchen had all the tools that we needed, the girls were thrilled with the game closet and enjoyed counting all the mermaids we could find, and the owner Rose brought us fresh eggs, which was a lovely surprise. The area under the house is very inviting, with a large picnic table, chairs and a hammock, as well as lots of extra beach toys. Rose was very responsive to my questions and was easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!

Awesome!
The house was just what we needed for the two of us and a dog! Rose was kind enough to stop by and introduce herself. The location is close to everything and yet we still felt away from people/places being tucked in the back of the dead end street! We look forward to future trips!

Everything was perfect for our family to get together to celebrate my mom’s 60th birthday. She was so happy all her kids could be there. The location was perfect, so close to everything yet it felt very private at the same time! We enjoyed playing cornhole and had a picnic under the deck one evening. The house was very clean and stocked with plenty of towels, bed linens, dishes, and everything we needed!

The Mermaid was a quaint cottage with all the comforts of home plus fresh chicken eggs from the owner. Rose was kind and responsive- even helpful when we lost our dog for a few hours. (Great people in KDH, we found him on Facebook). I liked the location- could walk (if you are athletic) to beach but if not, 5 min drive away. Also walking distance to gas, convenience store, grocery store, food, etc. Felt like we were at home for the week. Thank you, Ms. Rose!

Cottage is situated in a central location on a quiet street. Owner provided a stocked kitchen. TV is available for streaming services. My family were there for 3 nights. Had we have stayed for longer, we would have missed not having a washer dryer but we found it accommodated us for the time we were there.
