General summary;Mermaid Crossing, Suite 2 has a stellar location to relax and relax ALL year round! This first floor unit/second row home sits just across the street from a beach access and is less than a hundred steps to fun in the sun! The suite is roughly four blocks from downtown Carolina Beach and everything that is has to offer. Amid the COVID-19 concerns, our suites offer key-less entry, to minimize person to person contact. We have implemented new protocols for the current circumstances to welcome our guests to a safe and clean environment. We have added a multistage system air treatment system with UV light to reduce airborne bacteria, germs, viruses, plant pollen, dust and mold pores. As a result, we no longer provide linens. We want to be able to provide our valued guests with a safe memorable beach hideaway experience.The space;The suite is located in the heart of Carolina Beach and walking distance to downtown and all of its attractions. The location is a short walk from the Carolina Beach Boardwalk, eateries, and local stores (don't forget Britt's Famous Donuts)! If you like adventures, the marina is also a few blocks away where you can take an offshore fishing trip or event boat out for a sunset sail. Camping more your thing? Bring the 4X4 and drive (and camp) on the beach at Freeman Park, located on the North End of the island. The Carolina Beach Lake is close by, hosting the Farmer’s Market every Saturday, FIREWORKS every Thursday, and summer outdoor movies on Sunday (on a enormous inflatable screen in the middle of the lake!). We welcome you to sit back, relax and savor yourselves because that's exactly what the beach is for!These suites are a mixture of the original “period” construction and old world appeal, with a kiss of shabby-chic modernity and today's technology because hey, there’s got to be something for everybody! Each suite has its own distinct traits, quirks, and characteristics.The entry to this 1 bedroom, 1 bath suite opens up into a family room combined with an open dining area and completely equipped kitchen (stove+oven, refrigerator). The kitchen is outfitted will all of the basic cooking and dining silverware one can expect (plates, bowls, cups, silverware, etc.). In addition, there is a microwave, toaster, and coffee maker ready to help make yourself at home (and on Vacay!). Courtesy shower/shampoo, and conditioner are left in the bathroom of each suite as well as a roll of TP, garbage bags, dish soap, a broom, and sponge in each kitchen.Most bedroom beds consist of a new encased 8” memory foam/cooling gel composition bed because we want all of our guests to be comfortable when it comes time to recharge. The pullout couches that can fit/support a memory foam pad are also accommodated with such! (Always bear in mind, although comfortable, a pullout couch/futon for a longer-term tenant may/may not provide ideal support!) Remember, linens are NOT included, however, you can bring them from home with you, buy them (Wal-Mart in Wilmington), or rent them (Oceanside Linens & Units). There are 2 intelligent TVs (with approx. 25 channels through the Charter Spectrum cable) along with an ORBI router WIFI computer connection for when it's time to sit back and savor some movies or shows after a long day at the beach! There is complimentary Netflix to watch movies. We do not provide a pin for the Roku TVs so please do NOT request one. We also have some games to appreciate some family game time when the weather is bit dreary for the beach. Sometimes however, these items are removed from the suite and not replaced and we do not realize it (tsk tsk!).If you notice something we’ve bragged about missing please let us know!!! The outdoor shower is located on the lower left of the building to help get that sand off of those toes! Guest access;Guests have full access to their own private suite (never shared) along with a respective deck, patio, balcony, or yard. Each suite can vary slightly in archetype but what’s private to each guest or is a common area for all to share is effortlessly recognizable. Feel complimentary to reach out for any specific needs or clarifiers! Each guest will also have access to one assigned parking space. For additional spaces, please refer to our list of parking suggestions.Other things to note;-ALL suites are non-smoking (including vaping) and a heavy cleaning/repair charge can result if not adhered to. -Linens (sheets/towels) are NOT part of the suite rental. If you prefer to bring your own or rent linens, we partner with “Oceanside Linens & Units” for any guests looking to rent a linen package (sheet sets, towels, etc.) as opposed to bringing or buying your own. Although the hyper link will be blocked by this site, a simple web search can yield their contact information. They will deliver directly into the suite in advance of your stay!-Quiet(er) hours begin at 9:00pm EST. We host many families of all ages so we ask all our guests to be considerate, and enjoy the heck out of yourselves!-NO BBQ’ing on ANY decks or porches.

The property is set four blocks from downtown Carolina Beach with its stores, activities and dining. There are fireworks during the summer every Thursday nighttime, Movies at the lake each Sunday nighttime, and local fairs around the lake each Saturday morning (refer to for additional info!). Carolina Beach is a mix of friendly locals, snowbirds, and visitors all looking to escape the inland and enjoy the sand, surf, and ambiance. We really have an extraordinary community! Carolina Beach and the surrounding neighborhood offers an array of sights and activities to enjoy while here. Some of these examples are (but not limited to) a subtle beach hike through Carolina Beach State Park, Finishing on the Kure Beach Pier, Kayaking to one of the many islands surrounding the Intracoastal Waterway, watching canons blast during a historical reenactment at the Fort Fisher State Historic Site, or petting some Sting Rays at the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher. This doesn’t even include the aweing scenery of Airlie Gardens, and our very own battleship (USS NC) in Wilmington! Perhaps more calming and less “adventure” is your speed. Our own local Brewery (Good Hops) along with a round of Frisbee golf may be a great time.And between the beach and Downtown Wilmington, boy do we have FOOD, Festivals, and good times!Getting around;Food, dining, and a multitude of outdoor activities are all well within walking distance.
