Three Mermaids' Cottage is named for our daughters, and we are all about family! We are family owned and operated, a true mom and pop business. You will deal with us directly, not a realty company or property manager. We do our best to make sure everything is perfect for your stay. Our cottage is clean, well equipped, and very nice. A true home away from home.
Please read our reviews and you will see many who truly enjoy our little piece of heaven by the sea.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!
You can find us East side between the highways in Nags Head at MP 10.5.
This has us centrally located, close to the beach, restaurants, shops, the YMCA, the new Dowdy Park, and a mile from the Nags Head Fishing Pier.
We are two short blocks away from the beach. It's a 3 minute walk with direct beach access at either end of the street.
We are a block from the grocery store as well, it doesn't get much better!

Summer season weeks run Saturday to Saturday. Sheets and towels are provided free of charge. You will find clean sheets along with 6 bath towel packages in the bedrooms.

We are always updating and upgrading. We have modern amenities but still retain the homey "cottage by the sea" feel.

The kitchen is well equipped. It has plenty of dishes, glassware, pots and pans, and small appliances. Dishwashing liquid, dishwashing pods, hand soap, trash bags, & coffee filters are stocked for you. The breakfast nook seats 6, and is the perfect place for cozy family meals, game playing and enjoying time together.

The main living area is tastefully decorated, with new furniture, and custom touches and artwork throughout. We have a new 55" smart TV. Those with a Netflix account can log in to watch your favorite shows.

Bedroom 1, first floor, Queen bed, TV and nice size closet. It connects to the first floor bathroom.
Bedroom 2, second floor, (bunk room) 2 singles, great for the kids, they love the bunk beds, and will enjoy the TV and DVD player. The bunk room connects to a Jack and Jill bath.
Bedroom 3, second floor, Queen bed, has a TV & DVD player and a large closet. There's also a sitting nook attached, perfect for curling up with a good book. This bedroom also connects to the Jack and Jill bath.
The loft area is added space for the kids to enjoy board games, or if you need a quiet space to simply chill out, or work (if you must). We have free wifi.

We have a mud room on the ground floor, with a full-sized washer and dryer. Also in the mud room, you'll find a closet with beach equipment for our guests. We have beach chairs, an umbrella, a cooler, boogie boards, corn hole, some sand toys and other fun games. Lastly there's a new wagon to haul it all to the beach.

Outside, you'll find two decks, one is covered and shady for relaxing after a day in the sun, or if you are a sun worshiper, the upper deck is complete with table and chairs for al fresco dining. Our back yard is spacious, flat, and fenced in for security and added privacy. It's perfect for cornhole, playing horseshoes, bocce ball or whatever outdoor games your family enjoys.

Lastly we have a keyless entry, nice outdoor shower, a swing, a new gas grill, and picnic table.

****Please make sure you read and understand all aspects of our rental agreement and house rules. Specifically, our occupancy limit and penalties for noncompliance, hurricane policy, and the "no animals allowed" rule. We are true animal lovers, but sadly we have family members that are highly allergic. There are many pet friendly homes along the Outer Banks. We would be more than happy to recommend some to you so you can bring your furry family member along without any worries.
Thanks for understanding. Any questions? Feel free to ask! We are happy to help.

After being guests ourselves for many years, we strive to make this house our, and your home away from home. We have put a lot of thought and care into making it a nice, clean, organized, safe environment for everyone. After all, it's about family and friends, spending time together with the ones you love, and making memories that last a lifetime!!

Excellent OBX vacation spot!
We had such a fun time at Three Mermaids - the house was well-maintained, perfect for our family with small children, and in an incredible location to access all the spots we wanted to enjoy. The beach is a quick walk, Jockey's Ridge is an easy drive, and there were lots of amazing dining options nearby. We had a great routine of playing at the beach or park, putting the kids down to bed, and getting a take-out dinner date to enjoy at the cottage - the favorite spot was Tortugas Lie! Highly recommend this cottage.

Wonderful Stay
My family and I had a wonderful stay here! Jim & Cindy were amazing hosts and communication was clear, especially through a rebooking due to a tropical storm delaying our trip and prepping for check in. This was our first time to the area and they were helpful with suggestions to enjoy our visit! Would definitely stay with them again!

About the host

Hosted by Jim and Cindy Levo

Host profile image
We have been drawn to the coast since we were both young. As a child my parents always took my family to vacation at the shore. My husband has been coming to the coast since his high school days. We fell in love with the peacefulness and charm of the Outer Banks 35 years ago. It reminded us of a quaint beach town from bygone years. We breathe easier knowing it will never be overrun with high rise buildings, and neon signs. We have been vacationing here with our three daughters for those 35 years. It has become a family tradition for us. Now it is time to expand, and share this tradition with our grandchildren. We have created many memories here throughout the years. We have tried to teach our daughters about the importance of the conservation of the coast and ocean, from the preservation of the wild horses that roam the OBX, to the salvation of the sea turtles. We now hope to educate our grandchildren to respect this planet and it's creatures for future generations to enjoy. We hope to create new memories with our family and friends, and hope that you will do the same.

Why they chose this property

We love this area of Nags Head, it has that quiet, neighborhood feel. The location is perfect. It's two blocks to the beach, and one block to the grocery store. (Food Lion) It's close to the Nags Head bike path, and we enjoy riding our bikes as often as we can. There is a beach rental shop a mile north of us for anyone interested in renting bikes, kayaks, etc, anything you would need. My husband can enjoy fishing from the shore, or from the Nags Head Pier which is a mile south. He can golf at the many golf courses in the area. I can walk to the galleries and quaint shops. Sea Green Gallery is a favorite, along with Something Fishy. Gallery Row is also a few blocks away. There are some very good restaurants that are within walking distance also, one of our favorites is the Red Drum Tap House. Tortugas Lie is located nearby, and Lucky 12 Sports Bar is 1.5 miles away. A coffee shop is right up the street offering flavored coffees, cappuccinos, and pastries. Everything is within close proximity but it doesn't feel crowded. Directly across the street is a wooded area allowing privacy and not giving you the feeling of 'living in a fish bowl'. Honestly, the location can't be beat, no busy highways to cross, no traffic to fight. You wouldn't have to move your car once parked. The new Dowdy Park is just two blocks away, there you will find a great playground for the kids, and enjoy family friendly events all summer long. Take time to walk around the neighborhood, and enjoy all that Nags Head has to offer!

What makes this property unique

We think the house itself is unique. The minute we walked in, we saw the potential. We knew with hard work and determination we could turn this house into a charming, cozy, comfortable space. We love the salt box style. The openness of the main floor, with the vaulted ceiling and balcony, gave the home style and character. We also love the fact that it has areas that offer a tranquil setting, the breakfast nook, the balcony area, and the sitting room in the master bedroom. The house is bright and open, and truly has the beach cottage feel. We have done a significant amount of work to the cottage and hope to update something every year. Three Mermaids Cottage also has a Facebook page, like us on Facebook and see the transformation, many before and after pictures are listed there.
