Luxury Oceanfront home in South Nags Head!

The Mermaid's Grotto at Nags Head
Stunning Oceanfront Sunrise views await you at this oceanfront private home in an ideal location in Nags Head, NC. Just remodeled, this home sleeps 10 & features 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths and 1 outdoor shower. The primary bedroom is up with a private balcony to enjoy spectacular sunrise views and features a king size bed & coffee bar and private bath. The 2 story Great Room features a wall of windows, a 77" OLEG TV & gas fireplace. Ideal location with quick access to everything you need, less than 1 mile Fishheads fishing pier & restaurant. Close to the Bodie Island Lighthouse and lots of shopping, restaurants, mini golf, The Wrights Brother's Monument & Jockey's Ridge State Park. Have an electric vehicle? There are supercharging stations within 15-20 minutes of the house. The outdoor grill is charcoal on lower level & a small electric grill on back deck. Please let me know if you are celebrating a special occasion. The best photographers, in my opinion, on the island are Beth & Wes Sneider. Ask me for their contact information. For babies: There is a rocking chair in the upper-bedroom as well as both chairs in the Great Room are swivel & Rockers. I do have an infant swing stored in the bunk room closet.
Towels & Linens are NOT provided so you need to bring your own or rent them. You can inquire on all kinds of rentals from surfboards to bikes to linens from a local vendor: 252-261-6999 website is: www.rentbeachequipment.com OR Bikes & other beach equipment go to :vakrentals.com

Great family fun on the beach
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

Mermaid’s Grotto
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.

Beach family getaway
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
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.

OBX Getaway
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.

The perfect sojourn
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.

Beautiful House
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!

Memorable week
The Mermaid’s 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 weren’t far from anything. The owner was very responsive, helpful, and accommodating. She even made a mid-week coffee machine purchase despite providing a Keurig! We’d definitely visit this rental again!

Pristine and Pretty Oceanfront Gem
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+

Great place to stay!
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!
