Great Vacation
The house was exactly as listed and had everything you could want or need in a vacation rental. The location was perfect. We watched dolphins from the deck almost every day. Our dog loved hanging out on the large deck and the gate kept him safe. We ate dinner on the deck several nights as the sun was setting- lovely. Terry’s house is perfect for an OBX vacation!

Best OBX vacation ever!
House was right on the beach with an amazing deck overlooking the beach and ocean. Best part of every day was enjoying morning coffee pre-dawn through sunrise on the deck. Second best part of the day was cooking in the best-stocked kitchen I have ever encountered in a rental house. The downstairs room was perfect and private for visiting family members. Owner was friendly and responsive to all inquiries and requests. We would stay here again without question.

Great stay in Kitty Hawk
We had a great time staying here. Kitchen is well equipped and there was plenty of space. Very quick walk over a dune to get to the beach and great views from the upper deck. The younger kids had a great time playing on the lower level under the deck too. Thanks for a lovely stay!

The Perfect Beach Location
This was the perfect place for our beach vacation. The large front room overlooks the ocean, pictures don't do it justice. The extra large deck was where we spent our evenings sipping wine and watching the waves. The home was clean and well stocked, the property manager was accessible and attentive. We'd definitely stay here again!

Relaxing Family Getaway
We had a wonderful week at the Mermaid! The house was so cute and charming. The location was everything! The beach being so close made it so nice going back and forth to the house with our kids. Everything was nearby in terms of shopping, restaurants etc. Terry was very easy to contact and returned texts right away. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our time! Especially when the dolphins swam by!

Great
You can't beat staying right on the beach. Large deck highlight of the property. Also nice to find a house with a king size bed. Private beach access, an abundance of chairs (beach and deck), and plenty of seating for outside or indoor dining. Awesome spot.

Best Beach House Ever!
This house is as close as you will get to the surf without being in a boat! Great accommodations located in the heart of Kitty Hawk - close to some really great locally owned restaurants! Other great points: terrific deck, comfortable furniture and beds, and plenty of kitchen space! Property owners are awesome and the house was spotless! We love, love, love this place and will definitely rebook for next summer!

The house has one of the best views of the ocean of any oceanfront house we have ever stayed in. Stocked well, appliances were in excellent condition, and the outside and inside of the cottage were spotless. House is bigger and brighter than photos.
