Super family room and spacious kitchen area with high quality appliances, great dishes, cookware, etc. Gigantic TV in family area. You can sit out on the deck and listen to the ocean waves. From the MBDR on the top floor has its own deck that looks over the dunes to see the beach and ocean. We did not want to walk over the dunes to the beach so we walked 1 house over to the public walkway. We could fit 4 cars in the driveway. One of the nicest rentals we have had in the OBX.

Aug 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We loved our stay at Mermaid's Grotto! The house was perfect for our family of 5\. Everything was so beautifully decorated and so well stocked. It was close to shops and restaurants and many things to do, but also away from it all in the beauty of the south of Nags Head. Really the best of both worlds.Nadine was an amazing host. She was great to work with and very easy to communicate with. All the thoughtful details of the rental were noticed and appreciated. The only negative thing I have to say is I wish there was a larger entryway into the house to get sand off and leave items before transitioning into the living room and house. It was tight and made it tricky to enter from the beach sandy.But overall it was an amazing experience! We would go again. ##### Valerie N.

We were also big fans of the Captain Stumpy the Pirate Cat books and ended up buying our own from the Manteo bookstore. Overall a big hit with our daughter.

The house is decorated perfectly for the area and is cozy and clean. My family and I loved the location (away from the bustling tourist activity) but close enough that we weren’t far from anything. The owner was very responsive, helpful, and accommodating. She even made a mid-week coffee machine purchase despite providing a Keurig! We’d definitely visit this rental again! ##### Shannon L.

The upstairs master suite ( where I stayed ) was spacious and the views of the ocean each morning when I woke up was stunning! You could not see the ocean from main floor ( where living room and kitchen were located due to the dunes being so high. This is not something that the home owner has control over , but should be noted in the description . We loved staying here! It should be noted also if you are unfamiliar with the outer banks , that the location of house is a good 10-15 minutes of any stores, rest ., etc. I loved being right on the beach ! Thank you for an amazing week in OBX! ##### Fran B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen P. May 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### OBX Getaway This house was fantastic and Nadine, the owner, was a wonderful host who was easy to communicate with when we had questions leading up to the trip! She even left flowers and an anniversary card for my husband and I who were celebrating our 10th anniversary. The pictures of this rental hold up in person. It was a beautiful home and location! I loved Nags Head as a destination as well. You are basically in the middle of the outer banks so day trips up to places like Corolla, Duck, Rodanthe, etc are easy jaunts. The area where the house is located felt peaceful and our beach was great for the family - not overly crowded or busy. Yet, where we were was fast and easy access to shops/shopping. A fantastic trip, a wonderful home, we would absolutely stay here again! A few things I’ll note for people who are considering this home because these are things I would find helpful to know or have pointed out to me: If you are in an electric vehicle (one family member has a Tesla) there are supercharging stations within 15-20 minutes of the house. Reminder this home has 2 full bathrooms (one for the rooms downstairs and one for the main suite upstairs). Wasn’t an issue for our crew but I think important to note if you are bringing multiple guests. Note to either bring your own linens or rent them since this is not included. We did a combination of both. The kitchen was well appointed and has a gas stove. It was easy to use. The grill outside is charcoal only. ##### Helen P.

The house was well maintained and beautifully decorated. The location is perfect- right on the beach dunes, just steps from the beach. Nadine is a fabulous host, extremely responsive. I would highly recommend the property. ##### Matt D. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindsey K.

The Mermaids Grotto was a beautiful home perfect for our family vacation! ##### Lindsey K. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin G. Jul 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy What an amazing home! The location, decor, cleanliness, fully stocked kitchen, ocean/beach front, and quiet location make this a 5 Star destination. Just a short drive to Fish Heads restaurant and another 5 or so minutes to all shopping, restaurants, and entertainment Nags Head has to offer. The sunrises are something not to be missed from the primary suites balcony. Just a great way to start the day. You may find bigger, but you’ll be hard pressed to find a home that checks as many boxes as the Mermaids Grotto. ![View from the balcony. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b616ece4-406d-4157-ad23-aa049a8280d7-1753998727975.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kevin G.

It was wonderfully decorated, clean, and the perfect set-up with the private upper bedroom within the upper loft area and the three other bedrooms (all good sizes) included one with bunk beds together for a larger group. The owner was very accommodating and a great communicator. Nags Head Golf Links was close by and a beautiful course with insanely amazing views of the water! I would suggest to any families or adults on an excursion that they rent this exquisite home, we also look forward to coming back...soon! ##### Jeanee L.

Great location. The owner was available and so kind. I’ve been renting in south Nags Head for 20 years and have never loved a property so much! We’ve rented for July 4th ##### Sara B.

Well-stocked kitchen, high end appliances, plush beds, giant tv (if you can tear yourself away from ocean gaze), even clear labels on light switches to make it all convenient. Top floor master has deck oceanfront too.My 17 year old doggie snoozed away while my brother and I escaped the city/Zoomathons. High end rental; responsive host. A+ ##### Mary S.
