Luxury Oceanfront home in South Nags Head!

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.

The house design, layout, and care in details and proximity to beach were all great! We especially loved the children books, watering color paint books, and the sea shell poster under the kitchen table to match our sea shells to. 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. Thank you for a lovely stay

The Mermaids Grotto was a beautiful home perfect for our family vacation!

Interior design was spectacular! Ocean view was more of a sand dune.

Extremely clean and well equipped. Great location

The Mermaid’s Grotto is in a perfect location. Very easy access to the beach and lots of space to spread out on the beach. The decor of the house is fabulous and the communication with the owner was easy and quick. We would definitely recommend this beach house to family and friends and hope to return.

This property is stunning. We especially loved the spacious living area, large kitchen island, master suite on the upper floor with private balcony & coffee bar, and outdoor shower. In addition, communication with the owner was superb. We continued to notice so many thoughtful details throughout our stay which made us feel exceptionally welcomed and informed.

Family get away with our 2 childern, our Daughter inlaw, my wife's mother, and 4 grandkids. The trip for my wife and I was about time with the grandkids. Plan accomplished. This home is right on the beach, we had plenty of space for all of us. The owner was great with information and following up on questions. I would recommend this owner and home. Great place and location.

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.
