Great Long Weekend
We really enjoyed our stay at Mermaid Shanty! We came down on a stormy day and asked about early check in. We were able to turn a miserable beach day into a relaxing afternoon on the comfortable screened in porch. We’ve been having trouble finding rentals we like, but we will be back to Mermaid Shanty!

Great Weekend Vacation
We had a great long weekend vacation! The owners were in touch prior to our trip and very welcoming. She provided more info and suggestions than any other rental we’ve stayed in. The beach wagon provided was a small but wonderful touch- we can’t imagine not using one in the future. The hosts were extremely accommodating and provided everything we needed. The few questions we had leading up to our trip were responded to within a few minutes. We will definitely be returning.

Family getaway
The Mermaid Shanty was a great retreat for us before the school year started and a bonus that we could bring the dog on vacation with us too. The house was very clean and had everything we needed including a few things we forgot to pack (sound machine for thw kids) The location was great- a short walk to the beach, restaurants, grocery and moni golf. Communication with the owner was great. Looking forward to returning in 2024.

Great spot for the family
The house was great and came with everything we needed. Location is central to everything so you can easily explore entire outer banks. Shower under the main floor was super convenient for sandy kids. Wagon came in handy and beach was beautiful. screened in porch with string lights made for relaxing memorable evenings!
