Great Getaway

Mermaid's Pillow was the perfect beach getaway! This VRBO exceeded all expectations. The location was fantastic, the home was beautifully decorated and immaculately clean, and the amenities were top-notch. We loved every minute of our stay and can't wait to return. Highly recommend!

Amazing Week at the Beach

We had a wonderful stay at The Mermaid's Pillow. It was our first real vacation as a family of 3. Close beach access and the pool allowed for us to relax with our 7 month old in tow. We would highly recommend a stay at The Mermaid’s Pillow!

Great Cottage in Nags Head!

We had a wonderful stay at the Mermaids Pillow! The house was very clean, well stocked, and in a great location. A public beach access is right across from the house making an easy stroll to the beach. Comfortable beds, clean pool, great working AC. We had a great time! The host was very responsive and thoughtful! We would definitely recommend! Have fun!!

Perfect Stay in Nagshead

This property was the perfect house for our family. We had 5 adults, one of which is in a wheelchair, and an infant. The house was spacious, accommodating, and was very inviting. It was across the street from the beach access, and only a couple of blocks from the handicap beach access. We had an amazing time, and made lots of core memories. I highly recommend this for your next Nagshead stay!

3 Generations at the Beach

Three generations enjoyed our stay at the house! The beautiful kitchen was put to good use and the pool was a fantastic bonus to have during our stay. The accessibility of the house was important to us, and the proximity to the disability access point to the beach was extremely helpful. We also loved the indoor and outdoor spaces designed well for time together as well as time for folks to have quiet time for themselves - chairs for reading on the back and front porches (with the best cup holders for mugs of coffee and tea in the morning!) Thank you!

Beautiful Cottage!

The Mermaid’s Pillow was in a great location, well stocked, beautifully decorated, and CLEAN! Our family truly enjoyed our vacation. The pool and short walk to the beach are always high on our list of must-haves, and this cottage delivered! If we are traveling with a smaller group again in the future, I’d definitely book again. Highly recommend!

Perfection!

What a gorgeous cottage! So much thought was put in to making this home not only gorgeous, but perfect for all ages to explore, have fun or simply relax. The nearby restaurants and beach access made getting our toes in the sand or bellies full, a cinch! Can't wait to go back!

Great place, even better location literally across the street from the beach.

House was warm and inviting, well maintained and most importantly super clean. BIG kitchen was great to cook in. Bedrooms and bathrooms were great size and so nice. Outside was awesome with the pool being so refreshing and the outdoor shower coming in handy when you spend those long days at the beach. Overall we give it a 10 great vacation and place to stay.

Beautiful accessible cottage!

So happy with our choice of Mermaids Cottage. Loved the location on the OBX. Central to both North and South adventures. We needed a smaller accessible property and this was perfect. The ramps and thresholds both front and back were easy for the two wheelchair users in our party. I loved the bathroom. Shower was the best I’ve ever experienced. Safe floor and didn’t flood the entire room.

Wonderful Property

This house has everything you could ever want. It was so clean, well maintained and beautifully decorated. The location is so convenient to restaurants, night spots as well as the beach. We were just a little too early to enjoy the pool, but the weather was beautiful so we took advantage of the beach instead. I highly recommend this home for your next beach trip!

Year 3

This is the 3rd year in-a-row that we’ve stayed at the Mermaid’s Pillow. It was perfect as usual, and Cindy is so great with communicating before and during the stay! The kids (3 & 6) love the bunk room and, especially, the pool!! We can’t wait to book again for next year! Thank you, Cindy, for another amazing vacation!
