Fun and Relaxing!
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!

Mermaid's Purse bday & proposal
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.

PERFECT Home Away From Home!
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.

Comfortable home base
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.
