We really enjoyed our stay at Mermaids tale. The location is great being so close to the beach access and pool. We loved the front porch swing. Kitchen is dining area is perfect for families. Would stay again.
Everything about this property was excellent! Wonderful location, super homey & comfortable and great communication from owners. We really enjoyed our stay and would 10 out of 10 recommend staying here! Clean, cozy, comfortable, convenient ⊠everything you could ask for when renting at the beach!! Thank you for sharing your home!
Our family loves OIB !!! Itâs our LOVE TIME !!! Weâve stayed on Isle Plaza for the last 10yrs and our kids LOVE being close to COUSINS !! (We spent 25 yrs going to IOP,SC and then 25 yrs at Ocean Creek Resort in NMB,SC )⊠Itâs a sweet tradition of 10 days at the beach with extended family where we play ,eat, connect and just SPEND TIME TOGETHER !! My Mother always said â You spell LOVE .. T I M E ⊠!!! Itâs so true ! We enjoyed staying at the Mermaid Tale and making sweet,precious new memories together !!! Until next time âŠ..
This was our 2nd year at Mermaidâs Tale and we were already planning our 3rd before we left. The house was exactly as described; clean, stocked throughout the house and beach chairs, games, etc. Communication with the owners was very fast and they were very accommodating. A major plus for being just across the street to the beach access and pool since we had some kiddos. Thank you for a great vacation!
Our family of five, and our friendâs family of 4 shared the house for quick work retreat in the area. The location makes for super easy beach access. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the kitchen tools and appliances, dishes, cups, bowls you could need for several people. The house was very comfortable and offered plenty of space for the 9 of us. There are beach toys, chairs, boogie boards, and bikes to use as well. Overall very thoughtful and thoroughly stocked all around. We opted for linens, and the washing and drying and folding did take a bit of time (we started the night before we left with most of the towels, which helped us have less in the morning). The convenience of not having to bring our own sheets and towels from out of state made it worth it. Would visit again!
We enjoyed our stay at this home. The short walk to the beach and parking for so many vehicles was great for our party of 8 since we are coming from many different directions and parking is always one of our main issues when trying to find a place to stay. The kitchen was well equipped. Only thing missing in kitchen is an ice maker in the refrigerator. We enjoyed each night on the front porch. Owner responded quickly to our inquiries. We would definitely stay here again.
We loved how close to the beach the rental was with ample parking available which was a bonus and we all enjoyed sitting on the front porch. Host was very responsive to all inquiries which was nice too. We did have a couple small issues. Electric outlets in bathrooms did not work and were not fixed by resetting them, gas grill was not in working order (problem with leaking tank & rust on the grilling surface), we killed 2 cockroaches and even though the listing said bikes were available from May 1st (we rented 4/30-5/3), they were not on site. Realize our rental date started the last day of April but we were there for 3 days in May. I would have brought my own bike if I knew theirs weren't available. Also we found that there was garbage in the recycling bins so that negated being proactive with recycling and there was an electric griddle that was not clean, grease on top and in catch cup under it. All in all a cute place but could use a little more attention to these details.
We loved staying at Mermaidâs Tale! The proximity to the town center and the beach were perfect. We walked to the park every day and were steps away from the beach access. It was lovely! And great communication with the host.
This home was well appointed in an ideal location across from beach access and peak a boo views of the waves! My family was grateful for this gathering spot and Iâm confident others will be too.
Amazing house just be prepared to do 3 hours of laundry the last day if you choose to use the linens. That part was a bit stressful to get done in time
Although the weather didnât cooperateâŠ.we had a great time on our annual fall trip. The location was terrific, lots of space, and a great porch for drinks and conversation!!
Great stay. I did reach out to the owner and sent a kind email to him as there were bugs (roaches) that we killed while we were there and wanted to give him a heads up. I really wish he would have gotten back to me but didnât. We loved ocean isle.
We relocated to Ocean Isle Beach, NC from St. Paul, MN and loved it! We have always been avid boaters with a deep love of the outdoors and especially the beach. When the opportunity arose to come to OIB, we jumped at the chance to live near the ocean. We had 2 daughters in college and an empty nest, so we decided to fill our extra time with buying a beach house and making it our own. We spent the 6 months after we arrived renovating our house and turning it into "Mermaid's Tale". We are excited to share it with you!
Our family was initially drawn to Ocean Isle Beach because of the call from the ocean after living in the Midwest our whole lives. So, when we started researching the properties on the Island, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to be right across the street from the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. Not to mention when you want to get away form the salt and sand, we are also directly across from our local community pool. With the kids not living at home anymore, we had plenty of time to renovate Mermaid's Tale and turn it into our dream ocean side home. In addition, an ideal vacation rental with its four bedrooms and three full baths for plenty of privacy and comfort. Vacation groups and families will also enjoy the combined kitchen-dining-living space for games, relaxing, and group meals. Although Mermaid's tale is a rental, we hope you will be able to feel at home and as comfortable as we do when staying here in OIB!
The ocean view at Mermaid's Tale and the sound of crashing waves through open windows or from the porch are what initially drew us here. The open floor plan perfectly fits the way we live and entertain. I still pinch myself every time I walk across the street for my beach walk!
