Great place overall!
My family and I (6 adults) had a great Memorial wknd visit. The upstairs common area is very large, spacious and sunny. Great space for us all to relax and cook. Kitchen has about eveeything you need, minus your spices, coffee filtets etc.
Large deck rea for lounging with a great ocean view (now that the house in front on the beach collpased while we were there!! A sight to see!)
The only odd thing to happen (besides witnessing a house fall into the ocean lol) was the fire alarm went off multiple times one night for no reason....and the attick woodem board opened upstairs over night due to wind).
A few great reatuatnts around but, a quite sleepy town with walking beach access down the road!

Beautiful views in Rodanthe!
We had a relaxing and enjoyable stay at the Pickled Mermaid! The house is close to the beach with great views of the water from the large wraparound deck. Beds were comfortable with a TV in all rooms (except for the kids room) and the house was well-equipped with what we needed. The remodeled master bath with large shower was nice. Rodanthe is a sleepy town - perfect if you are looking to get away from the crowds in other more populated parts of OBX and have a quiet getaway.

Friend trip getaway
The location was perfect, 30 seconds from the beach. The views on the porch were amazing. Some of the furniture outside wasn’t in the best condition, and the kitchen cabinets were really unorganized, but we had a great time!
We also noticed a potential septic system issue and notified the property management company.

Happily Pickled!
My sister and I spend a week on the outer banks every year. The Pickled Mermaid has proven to be one of our favorite locations. We will definitely return. Rated communication with property management very low only because we had no need to call them.

Amazing location
The stay was great! The beach was a 30 second walk away. The central location made going to the northern and southern parts of the island a breeze.
