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.

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.

Overall Great Stay
Overall this was a great place to stay. The house and kitchen were well stocked with stuff you'd need. Every bedroom has a bathroom. The pool and hot tub are nice. You are minutes away from stores to buy anything you need. It's an easy walk to the beach even with toddlers / young kids. You can drive your car down and park near the beach if you don't want to walk. I recommend doing this early in the morning because parking fills up fast. The beach is great and you are right by a lifeguard which is nice when you are there with kids. There are a few things that we didn't like about the house. The cleaners beforehand could do a better job. There was mold on the shower curtain in the upstairs bathroom and some mold on the floor vents in the kids' downstairs bathroom. It didn't bother us much but some people might freak out. All the bedrooms besides one are downstairs and above the downstairs bedroom is the living area and kitchen. If you are trying to sleep downstairs (or have kids that you are trying to get to sleep) and people are still awake and moving around upstairs you can hear it in the bedrooms. For most people, this wouldn't be a big deal but we did need to play white noise for the kids when they slept. We knew from reading other reviews before we stayed that the house was next to a busy road. The traffic noise is pretty loud. That didn't bother us too much but sometimes it was annoying especially when sitting outside at night trying to have a conversation.

Nice house
We enjoyed our stay. The house was beautiful, but hot tub and showers weren’t clean. Rest of house was nice. Close to beach but on a busy road and could hear the traffic all the time. Really the only bad part about our stay, and our fault we didn’t look at the map to locate proximity to other landmarks other than the beach. Owner/property manager was very responsive and even offered us late check out with no charge since no future guest checking in right after us.

Excellent house
We all loved it. I’ve been coming to OBX for more than 20 years, it was my girlfriend’s second trip, and her boys’ first. The boys fell in love with the place. This time I proposed to my now fiancée, and we had a memorable stay we’ll never forget. Two things: 1, to renters, be careful in the water on either side of a hurricane. I’ve been swimming those waters my whole life, and this year the surf and currents were VERY intense for the first couple days after Idalia left, the most intense I’ve seen. And 2, to the management, just one tiny constructive criticism; the beds are awfully stiff. Hop on Amazon and grab some of their tall mattresses and the house will be perfect.

Great family vacation
We had a family of 10, including two children ages 9 and 13 stay for a week this house. It was perfect! Everyone had their own bathroom and bedrooms plus the kitchen and family room were large enough for all of us. The kitchen is well stocked so most nights we just cooked a large dinner for everyone. But the biggest hit with everyone was the pool and hot tub. The house is only three blocks from the beach so we spent a lot of time there but we also spent an equal amount of time in the pool and hot tub. I would definitely stay again. We all really enjoyed it.
