Oceanfront, Outer Banks, Rodanthe, Pet-Friendly - Vacation rental home in Rodanthe, NC

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 marvelous 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 sizable living area (great for entertaining) with flat-screen TV and DVD player. A huge sectional couch and two chairs face the two 8' sliders for a lavish 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 enormous 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 huge 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 pretty 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 gorgeous 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 appreciate reading and watching the surf.

Pack and play are supplied.
