Relax at the Barefoot Mermaid, a 3BR 2BA cottage retreat half a mile from the beach and only one mile from Carolina Beach’s best dining, recreation, and entertainment. Restaurants for every taste. An old-fashioned Boardwalk with a Ferris wheel and amusement rides. Fireworks on the beach every Thursday. Free live music on Fridays. Lake Park, with a Saturday Farmers’ Market and free outdoor movies on Sundays. All within one mile of this beach hideaway. The Island Greenway, a 1.2-mile biking/walking path is a block from the house. Another block over is Mike Chappell Park, with tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts, a skate park, and playground. A short drive away, visit the NC Aquarium, Ft. Fisher, Carolina Beach State Park, and the Kure Beach Pier for fishing and sightseeing.

**Bring your own Beach towels**

Back at the house, settle into the cozy vintage-inspired living room.
Free WiFi keeps you connected, and the Smart TV lets you log into your favorite streaming services.
In the mood for tunes?
Connect your device to the stereo speakers with sub-woofer. Central A/C plus 5 ceiling fans will keep you cool.

Prepare meals in the fully equipped kitchen, with full-size stove, oven, and refrigerator (w/ice-maker and filtered water), dishwasher, microwave, 2 coffee makers (drip and pod), convection toaster oven, crock pot, blender, dishware, cookware, and utensils. Serve in the light-filled dining area or at the kitchen counter. Out back, there’s a picnic table with umbrella, and a covered porch with rockers that are the perfect place to sit and listen for the ocean in the quiet of the evening.

You have three bedrooms to choose from: Queen (w/shower bath), Queen (w/Smart TV), and Twin with easy-to-use trundle (sleeps 2).
The second bathroom has a tub/shower.
There is also a full-size washer/dryer.

The Barefoot Mermaid is your beach retreat—tucked out of the way, yet just minutes from the best Carolina Beach has to offer.
Cottage-style one-story living—no stilts, just three steps up to the entrance. Nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood, the cottage provides off-street parking for two or three vehicles, depending on size.

Bring your own beach towels, chairs, boogie boards, paddle-boards, surfboards, kayaks, bikes, etc., and get ready to make some memories!
