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.

About the host

Hosted by Cindy Thornsvard

Why they chose this property

Since building our home we have a new son-in-law who is a quadriplegic. Our home is not accessible and their visits required staying in hotel. We decided to build a handicap accessible beach cottage for the use of our family & to put in a rental program. Our belief is that there are many families and/or individuals who will benefit from such a cottage. Whether is be a wheelchair, walker, cane or artificial limb. Although it is totally handicap accessible it is also the perfect cottage for those without disabilities.

What makes this property unique

Unique, cozy, affordable & conveniently located. Beach access is a short walking distance away with ramp leading to viewing platform. Open floor plan on ground level with master bedroom/bathroom. Covered porches front & back. Rear ramp make for easy access to pool deck & backyard. Plenty of parking.
