Description Description
Relax and rejuvenate in this spacious, thoughtfully refreshed and impeccably maintained 4700 sq. ft. Semi-Oceanfront retreat. You’ll be on vacation sooner than you think as this home is located just 5 minutes from the Wright Memorial Bridge! Windows galore welcome you with great ocean views from every room on the top floor, and breathtaking sunsets from the rear Florida room and newly expanded rear deck. The large kitchen and expansive island are a magnet for family gathering and meal preparation with a well-equipped kitchen for those who love to cook. Large and open living areas and dining areas provide ample room for family meals, game night, movie night, or showing off your dance moves. Separate getaway spaces on each floor enable everyone to spread out or find their quiet place.

Stay Salty has Seven Spacious Bedrooms with Private Bathrooms; the ground floor bedroom includes a bathroom with an accessible shower and roll under sink. The elevator gives you easy access to all three levels to complete this perfect getaway – great help for luggage, groceries and, of course anyone who needs it.

Upgrades over the past couple of years include: premium LVT flooring and carpet; all new Beautyrest Mattresses and Bedding; new high efficiency HVAC for your comfort, widescreen Smart TVs throughout (including one in every bedroom); surround sound on top floor; fresh Sea Salt paint, updated artwork and coastal décor throughout; new outdoor furniture including poly chairs, bar stools, rockers, and picnic tables (one for the adults and one for the little ones); cantilevered umbrella on the pool deck; Weber gas grill, official-size corn hole, upgraded cabinet and door hardware throughout, and more. In the words of one guest… “The upgrades made it feel we were in a new home!”

This custom home is situated on a large private lot filled with live oaks that are native to the Outer Banks. An easy three-minute walk and you are on the uncrowded Southern Shores beach. After a fun day of beaching it, come home, rinse off, and relax in the expansive Private Pool & Hot Tub area with ample furniture that borders on an eight-acre nature preserve, perfect for bird and nature watching.

Another wonderful 2 weeks in your beach rental. I think this is our 17th year in this house. This year the ping pong table was a hit with my two 16-year-old grandsons! We have already re-signed our 2 weeks for next summer!

Our family of four generations had an amazing week! This is our 14th summer vacation in the OBX. We have stayed at a different house every year and the Hilton once. However, this is our second stay at this property. We stayed in 2021 and loved the large pool and wonderful upstairs. We were delighted with the updates and personal touches throughout your house. The ping-pong table was the kid's favorite update. Thank you for the glasses and all the house extras!

The Biddle and Kerr families had a great week! This was our first time at the OBX and this house exceeded expectations. We did have some rainy weather but the fun did not stop as we LOVED being by the pool and playing games together in the common areas. Thank you for the endless amounts of supplies throughout the whole house as it was very useful when doing things this week. We hope to be back again soon!!

Thank you for sharing your gorgeous home with our family. Stay Salty is the most beautiful, clean, welcoming, and stocked home our family has ever stayed in in the OBX. We saw dolphins every day and loved the beach chairs. All of us spent countless hours by the pool under the umbrella and sunning. We even used the karaoke machine! Stay Salty is absolutely wonderful and we appreciate its beauty and tranquility. It was exactly what we needed and bittersweet to leave.

Our large family had a great vacation at Stay Salty! Your beach house had so many extras which we really appreciated... very well-stocked! Thank you so much for the welcome gift. We loved the proximity to the beach and also spent most evenings in the pool and hot tub. We cooked most meals and the open concept upstairs allowed us (all 13 of us) to spend a lot of quality time together!

We had a fantastic week at your house! We spent lots of time at the pool, enjoyed the beautiful beach close by, and at night slept great in our rooms. Thank you for your hospitality! Our family came together from multiple states and phases of life to spend time together. It was made even better by the beautiful surroundings here. We hope to return again!

First-time visitors to OBX & we couldn't have asked for better accommodations. The house is beautiful and has so many wonderful tools to help us enjoy our stay. We truly appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, and the space to spread out as well as come together for family game nights. Beach access was so easy too!
