Mermaid's Cove (FFR111) is a 2-bedroom, 2-bath, first-floor oceanfront condo at First Flight Retreat that sleeps 6. It sits in Kill Devil Hills, NC, Milepost 8.5, just steps from community amenities and direct beach access, no elevator required. Some condos get updated once and coast, but this one gets better every year.
Guests love how cared-for it feels. Over the past two seasons it has added new mattresses, couches, light fixtures, ceiling fans, and a full-size washer and dryer, and for 2026, plush new carpeting, plantation shutters, and a Polywood high-top table and chairs on the private balcony.
