Comfy and convenient
This house was so cute and clean. We would definitely stay again. The host was so quick to respond to questions and so accommodating.
Close to beach access on a quiet street & close to attractions. Neat tidy home with great beds and everything you need for a nice beach trip.
property was beautifully decorated with light and airy colors and accents. House was upper floor only and stairs to all entrances. Bedrooms were nice and comfortable. We enjoyed cooking some meals in well equipped kitchen.front enclosed porch was very breezy and our dog enjoyed playing there. . We really enjoyed our stay.
We really enjoyed our stay at Mermaid Shanty! We came down on a stormy day and asked about early check in. We were able to turn a miserable beach day into a relaxing afternoon on the comfortable screened in porch. We’ve been having trouble finding rentals we like, but we will be back to Mermaid Shanty!
We had a great long weekend vacation! The owners were in touch prior to our trip and very welcoming. She provided more info and suggestions than any other rental we’ve stayed in. The beach wagon provided was a small but wonderful touch- we can’t imagine not using one in the future. The hosts were extremely accommodating and provided everything we needed. The few questions we had leading up to our trip were responded to within a few minutes. We will definitely be returning.
Great communication with the owner, and the place is exactly as described. Great location in OBX. Thank you!
The Mermaid Shanty was a great retreat for us before the school year started and a bonus that we could bring the dog on vacation with us too. The house was very clean and had everything we needed including a few things we forgot to pack (sound machine for thw kids) The location was great- a short walk to the beach, restaurants, grocery and moni golf. Communication with the owner was great. Looking forward to returning in 2024.
The house was great and came with everything we needed. Location is central to everything so you can easily explore entire outer banks. Shower under the main floor was super convenient for sandy kids. Wagon came in handy and beach was beautiful. screened in porch with string lights made for relaxing memorable evenings!
Great for the family. Short walk to the beach and good suggestions from the owners. Pea island was great!
The screened porch was definitely the highlight. We sat out there every night. Thank you!
A cottage like feel, adorably decorated a block from the beach. Wonderful screened porch with a nice breeze. Was a perfect get away for the four of us.
Good location to get to get anywhere on the island. Beach is very close and the house is fully stocked on beachy things to take for the day. We were there in the off season and therefore some things were closed but it wasn't crowded at all.
This property was the perfect choice for our family spring break. We were a few block walk to the beach and less than a half mile from the Wright Brothers Memorial. The house itself provided so many amenities that we haven't always seen with other rentals, ex. beach towels, umbrella, beach wagon, etc. It definitely felt like Tonia opened her home to us!
Nice beach rental. Home is very well appointed. Nice location, convenient to everything you would need. We look forward to future stays at the Mermaid Shanty.
Comfortable house with a nice walk to the beach. In love with the decor ?So many items included for convenience! We will be back
I would love to rebook this location every year at the same time.
The property was as advertised! We had a great time and appreciated the suggestions in the welcome letter! The code we were given for the door was incorrect but were eventually able to get into the house. Thanks for a great stay!
The house was clean and in perfect shape when we arrived. It was also a big plus having all of the stuff for the beach there. Chairs, umbrellas, beach cart were in great shape and it made it so much easier to pack coming down.
Mermaid Shanty was comfortable and inviting. Excellent location within a quiet beach neighborhood just a short walk to the beach and great restaurants. We will definitely return.
We had a wonderful stay at the Mermaid Shanty. Spent a lot of time on the covered front porch. The house has everything you need. The extras such as beach chairs, umbrellas and wagon were extremely handy. Bikes are on their last leg but we were able to take 2 of them for a short bike ride. Grateful we could bring our dog and appreciated the central air in the house. Owner was very quick to respond to questions. You can't beat the location and proximity to the beach a few minutes walking distance. I would highly recommend this place!
Great house close to the beach! Easy walk a couple blocks to the beach- lots of beach gear supplied which was convenient. House is great for couples or a small family. Screened front porch was nice for evening sunsets
House and location great. Communication with owner very timely. My family of 6 had a great week. Beach supplies not fully functional.
Awesome place and owner. Can’t wait to return!
We loved the location. Perfect for visiting family nearby. We also meet on 1 st at beach.
We had such a nice stay at this home! Extremely clean and organized! It had everything we needed and so much more. We appreciated the many thoughtful extras that are not always provided at other rental homes. Kids enjoyed the games and activities and loved the bunk beds! It was a short easy walk to the beach and we loved the front porch area. This was one of the nicest properties we have ever stayed at and we hope to come back again in the future! Thank you!
My family and I really enjoyed our stay! The house was great, and it was really nice having access to the bikes and beach equipment. We look forward to returning!
