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 adore!

An open floor plan welcomes you into the living area furnished with a huge 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 cavernous kitchen is lined with stainless steel appliances, white countertops and cabinets to go along with a sizable 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!

Tricks and tips for getting the best Oak Island vacation rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Reserving your rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Book your rental in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have coupons for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. Mermaid Manor: Ocean View Home with Private Pool, Close to Beach Access has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before booking the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Tips for your stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• During arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected everything. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
