We throughly enjoyed our stay at the Emerald Mermaid. It was a great location for us as my husband’s family had a beach house rented not far away but there wasn’t space for us and this space was perfect for 2 to go hang out with them and then come back to peace and quiet. I wish Emerald Isle was only 6-8 hours away instead of a 17 hr drive because I’d be back every year. ##### Lynn C.

Kitchen well equipped with a wide variety of pots/pans/measuring tools/dishes/knives. Small refrigerator, but large enough to hold essentials and several grocery stores near by. Space was clean with a vacuum provided for sand patrol! Covered outdoor space for relaxing. Easily walkable beach access( bikes also provided) Hosts very friendly! Would most certainly stay there again. ##### Linda S.

It's the perfect location for doing everything you want to do when you're in this area. This place was spotless. Not a thing was dirty or out of place. The private beach access is amazing because you have a place to park your vehicle or bikes and don't have to deal with a crowd of people. Tons of shops and food are within walking distance and the pier is very close as well. It may not be right on the water or have a view of the water right from your window, but everything else about this place makes it the perfect stay. We will definitely try to book this place first the next time we are back in the area. ##### Jeromy K.

Unfortunately the weather was chilly & breezy forcing us to limit beach time. We were disappointed with television channel selections, being only digital. Not a big thing for most, but for us older adults it makes a difference. Also the comfy chairs were not user friendly for older adults. But, the property is delightful & access to private beach parking was really appreciated! ##### Larry and Elaine C. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ---
