About this property

The Spoon Cottage - located on the Beach Road in Nags Head!

  • Located in the heart of Nags Head on the Beach Road, you'll find this super charming 2-bedroom historic cottage is all you need to have an amazing getaway on the Outer Banks. Located right next to the Surfin' Spoon, and across the street from Nags Head Pier, you are close to some of the most fun places around. You'll love the sound of the ocean and night life while sipping a cold drink on the screened porch. Grab the beach chairs provided, and walk across the street to enjoy the stunning beach and ocean waves! When you get back, there's a private outdoor shower to rinse off in, too. We love the old school Outer Banks vibes of the cottage, so it has been maintained in size and amenities to keep the feels of simpler times. There is enough space for a small family vacay, a fun friend's trip, or a couple's romantic retreat! We can't wait to host you!
    *Things to be aware of:
    -you will have two parking spaces; one in front of the house, and one behind
    -there is an employee parking lot located behind the home for the Surfin' Spoon
    -there will be some noise in the evening during the summer because Surfin' Spoon is next door, and people love to have a good time (you can always reach out to us if there is a problem)
    -we are happy to provide with bed linens and bath towels, along with toilet paper, paper towels, and some cleaning supplies

Amazing Week at the Beach

We had a wonderful stay at The Mermaid's Pillow. It was our first real vacation as a family of 3. Close beach access and the pool allowed for us to relax with our 7 month old in tow. We would highly recommend a stay at The Mermaid’s Pillow!

Mermaid's Pillow was the perfect beach getaway! This VRBO exceeded all expectations. The location was fantastic, the home was beautifully decorated and immaculately clean, and the amenities were top-notch. We loved every minute of our stay and can't wait to return. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Cottage!

The Mermaid’s Pillow was in a great location, well stocked, beautifully decorated, and CLEAN! Our family truly enjoyed our vacation. The pool and short walk to the beach are always high on our list of must-haves, and this cottage delivered! If we are traveling with a smaller group again in the future, I’d definitely book again. Highly recommend!

Great Cottage in Nags Head!

We had a wonderful stay at the Mermaids Pillow! The house was very clean, well stocked, and in a great location. A public beach access is right across from the house making an easy stroll to the beach. Comfortable beds, clean pool, great working AC. We had a great time! The host was very responsive and thoughtful! We would definitely recommend! Have fun!!

Perfect Stay in Nagshead

This property was the perfect house for our family. We had 5 adults, one of which is in a wheelchair, and an infant. The house was spacious, accommodating, and was very inviting. It was across the street from the beach access, and only a couple of blocks from the handicap beach access. We had an amazing time, and made lots of core memories. I highly recommend this for your next Nagshead stay!

Beautiful accessible cottage!

So happy with our choice of Mermaids Cottage. Loved the location on the OBX. Central to both North and South adventures. We needed a smaller accessible property and this was perfect. The ramps and thresholds both front and back were easy for the two wheelchair users in our party. I loved the bathroom. Shower was the best I’ve ever experienced. Safe floor and didn’t flood the entire room.

3 Generations at the Beach

Three generations enjoyed our stay at the house! The beautiful kitchen was put to good use and the pool was a fantastic bonus to have during our stay. The accessibility of the house was important to us, and the proximity to the disability access point to the beach was extremely helpful. We also loved the indoor and outdoor spaces designed well for time together as well as time for folks to have quiet time for themselves - chairs for reading on the back and front porches (with the best cup holders for mugs of coffee and tea in the morning!) Thank you!

Wonderful!!

This house is a treasure- it was lovely and bright and clean and had everything we needed for our weeklong family stay! Cindy was so kind and responsive and flexible. The location was perfect- we could walk most places!- and the proximity to the disabled-accessible beach access was ideal. We have a kiddo in a wheelchair, so the house was so convenient for us, but really it would be great for anyone who doesn’t like a lot of stairs and extra comfy shower space. Truly can’t say enough about how perfect this place is- and already can’t wait to go back next year! Thank you, Cindy!

Mermaid's Pillow-Talk

Place was very clean and well appointed; on-line pictures were accurate, but for some reason, do not do it justice. The master shower (designed to accommodate a wheelchair) was even amazing for those not wheelchair bound. The location was fantastic; one block away from the beach. Outside shower was great to get all sand off to keep from tracking in the house. Full compliment of pots, pans, bowls, and kitchen utensils to prepare any meal. The pool walls could use fresh paint. Although pool water itself was clear and clean, it had a brown tinge to it due to the color of the walls. The numerous pool and porch chairs were very comfortable and could accommodate quite a large party. Great place to stay! Would highly recommend.
