Our stay at the Mermaid Shanty was truly fantastic. Tonia, the host, has thoughtfully equipped the beach house with everything needed for a relaxing getaway. As this was our first visit to OBX, we had a lot of questions, but the house provided a sense of comfort and ease. With four kids and our parents in tow, there was plenty of space for everyone to feel at home. The front porch quickly became our favorite spot, and the backyard was a great size. The downstairs room, complete with a shower and extra toilet, was incredibly convenient. We absolutely loved the charming decorations, and everything was spotless and fresh when we arrived. Thank you!
