This house is perfect for a coupleâs get away. Conveniently located & close to everything.The house was clean, the kitchen was well equipped, and the deck is the perfect place to relax! We went to the beach, rode bikes, & cooked delicious meals in the kitchen. Donât skip a duck donut!
The location, on a quiet dead-end street, is conveniently located to grocery stores and restaurants. It is just a very short drive to the beach and locations of interest like Jockey Ridge State Park and the Wrights Bothers National Memorial and Museum. Lighthouses are just 30-45 minutes away. The cottage is perfect for families with comfortable beds, a variety of kitchen appliances, and roomy living room space. The front porch, as well as the sandy area under the house, provides space for outdoor dining and relaxing. This is an older beach home, that would benefit from a few updates; but overall it provides a clean space for a relaxful family vacation. Additionally, the host, Rose, lives nearby and will respond in a flash to any questions, or requests. We asked for additional wash cloths and she arrived within an hour with a large stack! Rose is very eager to make her guests have a wonderful stay. She is full of recomendations, helpful information, and cheer!
It was perfect for our family and very close to everything. We had a wonderful time. Rose was very nice and helpful. Definitely would stay there again.
Second stay at Roseâs beach cottage and we got to meet Rose, sheâs absolutely wonderful and a great host. Great location, private backyard, always very clean, and super close to the beach. Lovely place to stay with the furbabies, We look forward to coming back!
Perfect place for us, had all we needed and more; nautical deco that i wantrd to copy. Quiet neighborhood. Rose was a great host and gave us great recommendations for everything we asked. She's a long time local so she's in the know. Comfortable bed. If we return to OBX this is our go to place.
Our family enjoyed our stay in OBX. The house was clean with plenty of cookie supplies, nice space under the house. Lots of towels provided by Rose which was great as the house does not have a washer and dryer.
Rose was very helpful and quick to make a small repair on the outdoor shower.
The mermaids purse was a cute little cottage perfect for a couple to get away from all the things! Met my expectations and served us well for the week.
Great place to stay with our little family! Its so hard to find a vacation home that also allows 2 large dogs so this place was perfect! Just off the main highway, but in a nice secluded area. Had all the amenities you could think, especially in the kitchen. The outdoor area was a perfect hang out spot for everyone! Rose checked in a few times to see if we needed anything and gave us plenty of information about things to do and places to go. Thank you so much, we enjoyed our stay!
Rose was quick to respond to any questions or requests that we had. She and her husband came by during our stay and were both very nice people. This house was very clean and the beds/pillows were super comfortable.
We come to OBX routinely to see family. This time we decided to bring the dogs with us for some beach fun. Location was convenient. Rose was an absolute wonderful host. Had a great time.
We stayed with my husband, 2 kids (ages 7 & 10) our dogs and myself. It was such a lovely, quaint house. We enjoyed the outdoor shower and area underneath the house very much! Loved that it was on a dead end and it offered a little more privacy.
The house was perfect and everything we needed for our family vacay! Rose was very easy and accommodating! Thank you Rose!
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!
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 cozyâŠgreat AC for the heat! Loved under the deck and a nice quiet neighborhood. We would love to return here! Thank you Rose!
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 đ
My boyfriend, dog and I had a great time at the Mermaidâs Purse! The place was very clean and Rose was so great - answered all our questions about the area and gave us excellent recommendations. We loved the pine forest backyard - the dog got to run around and didnât want to leave! Also, the decorations added a great touch - I counted all the mermaids - there are 22! We hope to return soon.
Wonderful , Wonderful place ! Cozy and charming! We had everything we needed in this beautiful cottage. The hostess was so kind to think through every single detail. It is so well decorated , with great taste. Space is so well organized, kitchen has everything you need and want for cooking. Every thing you need for the vacation at the beach , you get in this place. Very accommodating for two kids ( 2 years old and under) . Rose is a wonderful hostess! We would love to come if we can .
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.
We have lived on the Outer Banks since 1975. The ocean called Wayne here to surf from Hampton Va. many years ago and we couldn't live anywhere else now. We raised two beautiful girls here, one still in high school off to college soon. I attended ECU , Special Ed. teacher. Wayne is a professional house painter.
We bought this home four years ago. I have remodeled it so my Mother and family would always have a place to stay close by. It's so secluded yet so close to everything we need. A little slice of heaven in the middle of town! We can show you how we really live life to the fullest here on our little sandbar we call home.
