- Private vacation home
Mermaid's Dream is just steps away from the sandy beach. One of our favorite things is sitting on the deck watching the dolphins (yes, we see them just about every day) and, of course, the excellent sunrises and sunsets.
Bed linens will be furnished. Mermaid's Dream encompasses a reversed home plan which is very common to many homes along the Outer Banks. This simply means that the living area, ie, kitchen, dining, and living room are located on the highest level.
Our second floor level of Mermaid's Dream includes a very huge living area (great for entertaining) with flat-screen TV and DVD player. A sizable sectional couch and two chairs face the two 8' sliders for a gorgeous view of the ocean. The dining area, open to the living area and kitchen, has seating for eight plus 3 seats at the island. The modern kitchen has all the cooking needs should one decide never to venture out to any of the great eateries in the area. A coffee station with a Keurig coffee maker and a traditional drip coffee maker is right off the kitchen for your convenience. There is a king bedroom upstairs with a connecting bath and shower that has its own slider to the outside oceanfront deck. A flat-screen TV and DVD are also in this bedroom.
Three of our bedrooms are downstairs, the master has a king bed with a huge bathroom with a separate shower and hottub tub. The slider leads to a covered deck that is virtually on top of the ocean. This bedroom has a flat-screen TV and DVD. Another bedroom downstairs, very cavernous with a king bed, has a enormous window and a slider to a covered deck overlooking the ocean. This bed and breakfast style bedroom has a flat-screen TV and DVD. The third bedroom has two king beds. This bedroom has two windows; one with a view of the ocean, the other a view of the sound in the distance. This bedroom also has a flat-screen TV and DVD. This bedroom and the second bedroom share a full bathroom. Also, downstairs is a nice welcoming entryway and a full washer and dryer. Outdoor shower with hot and cold water. While staying in Mermaid's Dream, exploring is a must. Hatteras Island is simply the most handsome place on earth - where the Atlantic Ocean and Pamlico Sound are separated by a thin, fragile slice of land. Hatteras Lighthouse, Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge, the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum, modest villages of Avon, Buxton, Waves, Frisco, and Salvo are all within a short drive. Traveling the length of the Hatteras Island on the delightful Outer Banks of North Carolina is a coastal bicycle trail that’s as dreamy as it sounds. Running along the seashore, vistas of the bay and ocean greet you at every turn. You’ll want to take the whole family along to discover this famed island that offers impressive vistas every way you look!
In Rodanthe, discover the Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station Museum, Civil War Battle of Chicamacomico Races, and try to identify each of the over 400 species of birds. Or simply lay back and savor reading and watching the surf.
Pack and play are supplied.

Our top Rodanthe rental home booking tips:
Sticking to your spending budget:
- Summer time is high season in Rodanthe. Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes.
- Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
- Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
- Property management companies often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
- Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.
Use filters to search efficiently:
- Start by selecting your trip dates and a max budget.
- Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Oceanfront, Outer Banks, Rodanthe, Pet-Friendly has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
- Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what configuration is optimal for your family.
- Does your group require special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
- Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
- Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or costs could be applied to your invoice.
Know before you go:
- Take a copy of the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your . We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
- To make certain that no damages are linked to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. text the rental manager right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
- Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
- Be a good neighbor. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
- Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
- Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
- Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
- Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
- Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to compel future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
