Luxury Oceanfront home in South Nags Head!

Outstanding is the best way to describe

We very much enjoyed this home. The bunkroom was great for the kids. There are tons of toys, beach umbrellas, chairs etc. available. There was even a nice beach cart which was much appreciated. The kitchen is brand new and has a nice gas range. This home was completely remodeled very recently and it looks like new.The main deck is very large and there is a new grill. The upper deck has wide beach views but the lower deck is shielded by the high dunes. The recent beach sand project has added a great deal more sand in this area. We found lots of shells!

Nadine was amazing at communication from the time we reserved all through check out. Ocean view is only available from the master bedroom but it is set up nicely for coffee and a balcony to sit out enjoy the view. There is a protective dune that blocks the view from the main level and the access to the beach is just one house over and easy to get to. Nadine has thought of all the things one might need to have in the kitchen and there are upgrades throughout the house. We did not have any children but this house is equipped with all the necessary items and the bunk beds would be a fun room for the kids. The laundry room is filled with beach chairs and items to have fun at the beach. We spent a week with our grown kids and their spouses and did all the fun activities (aquarium, Manteo, Jockey's Ridge, Bodie Lighthouse, Spanky's, The Rundown, and other great places). Thank you for a fun-filled week!

Nadine was an excellent host - communications were timely and she was very responsive. The house is nicely decorated and well stocked w/paper products, soaps, and kitchen items. The location was great - close to the Oregon Inlet Fishing Pier as we as grocery stores and shops in Nags Head.

The property was excellent and Nadine is an excellent host.

Wonderful location and home! Very friendly and communicative owner throughout our stay. Would absolutely recommend a visit to this awesome oceanfront home!

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The host was exceptional—so helpful, responsive, and made everything feel easy from start to finish. The home itself is beautifully updated and truly felt like a home away from home.We especially loved the gorgeous sunrises and the perfect ocean view from the upper balcony—such a peaceful way to start each day. It was very family-friendly, and our girls had the best time playing games and just being together. As a mom, I really cherished sipping my coffee while taking in that amazing view.We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would love to come back!

This is definitely a top tier Nags Head rental. It is really well maintained, clean, bright and pleasant inside. 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. Excellent communications from Nadine

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.

Fantastic property. 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.

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.

Very nice place, great location, and responsive host!

Nadine's property is in the perfect location...right by the beach and in a bit quieter part of the Outer Banks. Exactly what our family of 6 was hoping for. We'd definitely stay here again!Some things not in other reviews / photos that might be helpful:- The kitchen is VERY well stocked with pots, pans, utensils. The stove / oven is gas. The electric grill on the patio works better than you'd think!- If you want a beach fire, get a permit. Easy to find online and available after 5:30pm if little wind.- Reserve your linens (sheets, towels, etc.) in advance!- No restaurants or other things within reasonable walking distance - just the beach! Plenty of good restaurants and grocery stores within a 15min easy drive. - Nadine is VERY responsive. Don't hesitate to message her.- There is a beach access point about 30 yards from the house. Don't run over the dunes, no matter how tempting :) - The house has plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, etc. We didn't do it, but you may want to look at also renting (or buying a cheap) larger sun shade. - Sunrises from the top balcony were the best!

We visited this home for a four day golf and fishing trip! 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!

We loved our stay at this beautiful place. In front of the beach with an amazing view. Perfect for families.
