Welcome to Redheaded Mermaid, your perfect Outer Banks escape! šŸŒŠ Located in charming South Nags Head at milepost 20, this 4-bedroom coastal retreat is just a short 5 minute walk to the beach and packed with fun, comfort, and relaxation.

šŸ›ļø With space for the whole crew, this home features 2 King bedrooms, 1 Queen, and a Pyramid Bunk, making it ideal for families or groups. Unwind in the open-concept living area, where everyone can gather, cook, dine, and relaxā€”all while catching a movie on one of the 6 Smart TVs šŸ“ŗ.

šŸŽ® The fun continues downstairs in the rec room, complete with 2 brand-new arcade games, a pool table, and wet barā€”a true gamerā€™s paradise! After a day at the beach, cool off in your private pool (14' x 28'), or warm up with a soak in the hot tub šŸ’¦. Even better? The pool is heated for those cooler OBX nights! šŸ”„šŸŠ

You're also just minutes from the Outer Banks Fishing Pierā€”perfect for casting a line or grabbing a bite šŸ¤šŸ¹.

Loved this house!

It was perfect for our family and toddler. It was a little chilly during our stay so the heated pool saved us to still get our daughter some water time! Anything we needed the host were very accommodating. We canā€™t wait to book again.

What a great spot! Full of amenities and dog friendly easy walk to beach appreciated the dolly to transport beach toys and chairs. Heated pool and hot tub was great for cool days. When time to go inside pool table and video games was a great way to hangout. Great stay would go back!

Kitchen was well equipped, much better than other properties weā€™ve stayed in. Comfy beds and couch for movie nights. Lots of games/activities for the whole family. Love the spacious dining room table. Would have loved to use the pool but we were there in off season, hot tub was great. Also good area for walking/running/dog walking. Just watch out for the prickly burrs that can get stuck in dog paws.

My family enjoyed our stay at this property. We were here April 10th thru the 13th of 2026. The property is equipped with all that you need. From the outside grills to the kitchen appliances, every essential need was thoughtfully provided. Although the weather wasnā€™t too favorable, we did enjoy water play. The jacuzzi and heated pool was most enjoyable. The temperatures remained perfect throughout the duration of our stay. If you are a worry freak like me, you want to make sure everything is in place when occupying someone elseā€™s home. The thoughtful written instructions and pictures were great tools used to keep us on track. There are so many things to do in the area and great restaurants. The gaming activities were a win win for my teenaged grandson and the adults too. We definitely enjoyed our stay, and would love to return in the warmer seasons.

We had a great stay. House was very clean. Kitchen cabinets and all light switches were labeled for convenience. The kids enjoyed the heated pool since the weather was a little cooler. The house is stocked with games (arcade, pool table, mini golf, etc.) that the kids enjoyed as well. Would definitely recommend!
