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!

Our stay

The property had everything we needed and had easy access but there were some things that could have been cleaned up better before our stay. But overall it worked for us.

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.

Thanks for the great time!!!

Wonderful accommodations. The only complaint was the cleaning crew did a horrible job cleaning prior to our arrival. I had to sweep the floors even.... Otherwise, the place was nice and just what we needed. I only complain about the cleanliness or lack thereof, because I hate to think they are probably paying a pretty penny for the service.

Really by the sea!

We very much enjoyed our stay! The apartment had such a wonderful beachy cottage feel! It was a very short walk to the beach. We could site on the deck and enjoy the sights and sounds of the ocean!
