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 youâll be hard pressed to find a home that checks as many boxes as the Mermaids Grotto.
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!
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!
The Mermaidâs 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.
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
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.
We loved our stay at the Mermaidâs Grotto. Spotlessly clean and very well appointed; a lovely comfortable home so well cared for by the owner. Excellent response to our questions, and we even had a beautiful doe visit us on a starlit night. Would definitely return!
It was like a private writing retreat to reenergize and reconnect w old friends. It was exactly what I hoped for. I could stay forever perched on the upper balcony and ask for nothing more.
What a great week with my college aged girls and friends. The property was amazing! Great location. The owner was available and so kind. Iâve been renting in south Nags Head for 20 years and have never loved a property so much! Weâve rented for July 4th
Stunning renovation of this oceanfront home is matched by thoughtful details by expert host. 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+
The house was just beautiful!! 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!
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 Iâll 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). Wasnât 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.
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.
The Mermaidâs Grotto made for a beautiful summer get-a-way. 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 werenât far from anything. The owner was very responsive, helpful, and accommodating. She even made a mid-week coffee machine purchase despite providing a Keurig! Weâd definitely visit this rental again!
We really enjoyed our stay! The house was beautiful, just as it appeared in photos. Nadine was prompt getting back to us when we had a question. There really wasn't anything she didn't think of, laundry room, games, plenty of dishes and pans, comfy furniture & beds, etc. We would definitely stay there again!
