Perfect January Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay here. Everything was clean and exactly as pictured/described. The wide covered deck really expanded the living space. We will plan to stay here again in the future.

Perfectly relaxing Fall getaway

The gorgeous Fall Carolina weather only added to our first stay at Mermaids Retreat! The first floor condo was perfect for a pleasant ocean breeze and the large deck allowed our dog to enjoy it too! Condo was nicely decorated and all needed items easy to find.

Weekend getaway

Mermaids retreat was perfect for our long weekend getaway. Right on the beach. Hearing the waves right outside your door. Space was very clean. Beds were comfortable. Everything we needed for the two of us and most importantly we were able to bring our dog.

Home Away From Home

We had a wonderful vacation with our family and two Yorkies! The Mermaid’s Retreat had everything we needed to feel right at home. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to meal prep, cook and clean. Check in/check out was a breeze. Walking distance to the boardwalk.

Very nice condo on the water.

The condo was exactly as advertised. Nice balcony off of the living room and view of water. Very convenient location. We could walk to restaurants. My only concern was the lack of soap in either of the bathrooms.

Great location, responsive host

Alana was an extremely attentive host not only before and during our stay, but also after. We let her know that we are interested in Carolina Beach and the NC coast for retirement, and she generously shared contacts in the area for us to further explore the market. It is not surprising that Alana is a Premier host with consistently high rated properties. We will stay with her again knowing how responsive she is to her customers!

Older Condo but nicely maintained

The only reason this was not a 5 is because the complex is older and somewhat dated. It was clean with what we needed and convenient. I am not a fan of this section of the beach- fluffy sand with quick slope to the water make walking more of a challenge.
