This house was very special and one of our nicest rentals. House was clean. It had many amenities. The large bedrooms and individual bathrooms were a plus for all adult family of 5. It was a few minute walk to the beach and a very sizeable pool. Location was perfect for restaurants and shopping some within walking distance. We've booked the same property for next year.

Fun place to stay!

Mermaid Way was a wonderful place to stay for friends and family. We were at the beach everyday which was only a short walk from the house. There were so many activities at the house and surrounding area we could have used a second week of vacation. A wonderful time was had by all.

Overall great time

We really enjoyed our stay! The home was exactly as described and there was plenty to do in the house and in the area to keep everyone entertained. The home could have been cleaned better and the traffic noise was annoying at times but it wasn’t awful. We’d stay there again.

Spring Break in the OBX

This house provided an excellent location for a vacation in the OBX! We enjoyed every part of this house from the heated pool to the family fun game room. With a bathroom adjoining every bedroom, it gave our kids some needed alone space. This house will be our go to for future trips to the Outer Banks.

The property exceeded our expectations. The location was ideal, truly a short walk to the beach and centrally located to area restaurants, shopping and attractions. Our family loved the pool, the game room and relaxing on the balconies. Sitting on the 3rd floor balcony watching the people and cars go by was our dog's favorite. The owners were outstanding, they were quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had prior to and during our stay. We have vacationed in the Outer Banks several times when our children were younger and it was nice to return with them as adults. We were able to relive some of our favorite memories and create new ones as well. It was nice to be able to stay at such a wonderful property, with excellent amenities and accommodating hosts. We would love to stay at Mermaid Way again and would not have any reservation about doing so. Thank you so much for allowing us to share your slice of paradise in the Outer Banks.

Lovely home in a prime location

We had a wonderful time staying at Mermaid Way! It is a beautiful home and truly is in a phenomenal location. It was great having all private bathrooms. The beds were comfy and the kitchen is spacious and well stocked. The house is super close to Jockey's Ridge, Wright Brothers Memorial, tons of stores, and a quick stroll to the beqch access.
