Meaghan from Martinsville, VA - Posted: 9/1/2024

Loved the house and our stay! We have already reserved for next year! The house is perfect for our needs and we loved its location. The only comment for the homeowner would be that there are so many knick-knacks, we had to move some around to have space to put our stuff down. Otherwise, very cute house!
Wendy from Purlear, NC - Posted: 5/5/2024

Absolutely love this house!

This place is perfect for my husband and me, and our 2 dogs (and a few addl family)! It's a cute little cozy cottage right on the beach with a short walkway, so you don't even need to set up on the beach really--just hang out on the deck and still close to all the ocean/beach action! There is a deck umbrella available to set up for shade (much easier than having no wind and a Shibumi on the sand!). The master bedroom bed is very comfy and the living room has plenty of seating for humans and people. The house overall is "gently" used so perfect for dogs and very clean! Nice appliances and fridge with icemaker! Also not a ton of stairs which is nice for unpacking/packing the car). We definitely want to come back and we haven'teven left yet!

Paul from Canisteo, NY - Posted: 7/17/2022

All was great. See you next summer.
Kevin from Pataskala, OH - Posted: 6/6/2021

We loved everything about our stay, and look forward to returning again in the near future. A Pirate & His Mermaid is the perfect blend of nostalgic beach cottage and modern amenities. The views were outstanding. It was an incredible week for us, and our everyday stresses just melted away. We wish our schedule allowed us to stay longer.
Linwood from Alexandria, VA - Posted: 5/16/2021

Enjoyed our stay last week. We couldn't have picked a better place to stay. Thank you for offering such great service to me and our family. Looking forward to our next stay in July 2021.
Patricia from Selma, NC - Posted: 10/28/2020

We are very happy with our stay. We are all ready booked for next year. Thank you.
Kevin from Pataskala, OH - Posted: 6/7/2020

We liked A Pirate and His Mermaid quite well. It is attractively and tastefully decorated, and the furnishings were great. I especially liked the plank-style waterproof vinyl flooring throughout the house (except for a different flooring in the baths). In my opinion this flooring is very attractive, and an ideal choice of material for a beach house (especially a pet-friendly one).
Stephen from Craigsville, WV - Posted: 7/6/2018

This was one of the better-equipped (kitchen items) that we have had. A dishwasher would have been nice, but we made out fine. Will try to stay here again! I, also, loved that the home was not over-decorated.
Vicki from Newark, DE - Posted: 5/27/2018

Love the house. Was worried about pet odors since it was a pet friendly house but none were noticeable which was great. Thanks for sharing the house with others.
