Celestial Mermaid: 2-Min Walk Beach, Ocean Views
Charming Retreat in Southern Shores Welcome to Celestial Mermaid, a charming 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom retreat designed for a relaxing Outer Banks getaway. Located just moments from the beach, this inviting home features a spacious main living area, perfect for gathering after a day of sun and surf, an added bonus room with a King Bed, and easy access to the beach less than 500 feet away. Step outside onto the double sun deck, where you can enjoy the ocean breeze and partial ocean views while sipping your morning coffee or unwinding in the evening.
On the Main Level, the open-concept Living Area is bright and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to relax after a fun-filled day exploring the northern Outer Banks and beyond. Head on over to the Kitchen with an induction stovetop, where you've got a welcoming, cozy space to whip up a meal the whole family will love and can enjoy together in the Dining Area. Step outside and enjoy some al fresco dining out on the Deck or head up top to enjoy partial ocean views. This level also offers a comfortable layout with a Queen Master Bedroom, a Queen Bedroom, and a bedroom with two twin beds, providing a cozy and convenient space for resting up after a day at the beach. A half-bathroom ensures added convenience.
On the ground level, a bonus King Bedroom and full bathroom create additional privacy for guests, along with an additional dining space for snacks after a day at the beach. Head over to the Game Room with a Foosball Table (located in the garage) to let off some steam and enjoy time together as a family, while the Laundry Area ensures clean clothes all week long. After a day on the shore, rinse off in the outdoor shower before heading inside for a laid-back evening and whip up some fresh, local seafood on the charcoal grill. Whether you're looking to spend your days on the beach, exploring local attractions, or simply relaxing on the deck, Celestial Mermaid is the perfect home base for your next Outer Banks vacation.
Enjoy a Small Coastal Town Visitors to Southern Shores love this small, coastal town where you can enjoy quiet, unobstructed beaches while still being within close proximity to local shops and restaurants. A few miles down the road, A WalMart Supercenter, Food Lion and Harris Teeter are available for all your supply and grocery needs. Pick up dinner to-go from Southern Shores Pizza or enjoy a night out at Steamers Restaurant, where you'll find fresh, locally sourced seafood steamed up to perfection. Don't forget to swing by Crumbl to buy a fresh box of cookies for dessert! For a fun adventure, you and your friends can try escaping from one of the exciting rooms at OBXscape. You could also head north to Corolla to explore the 4x4 beaches and maybe catch a glimpse of the wild mustangs or head south to Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head where your family will be able to enjoy local attractions like the Wright Brothers Memorial, Jockey's Ridge, the Bodie Island Lighthouse and Jennette's Pier, just to name a few! Celestial Mermaid is sure to be your new favorite OBX paradise!

Our family had a great time at Celestial Mermaid- property is newly renovated and literally steps from the beach. Also super close to Duck and a short drive to Nags Head. Highly recommend!
Loved being on a dead end street. Beach was literally 1 min away. Location was ideal. Duck is 5 mins away and the store was about the same. Bathrooms were gorgeous. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need. If we were to be picky- the room downstairs should be an extra living space.Only TV was in living room which. We had a rainy day and all 6 of us tried watching the tv. We did play games. Living room got warm. No fan. Other than that it was perfect! Deer come out around dinner time to graze.
