OBX Saltbox Retreat, Dog Friendly, Walk-In Showers & Decks

We had an amazing first time to the OBX. The apartment was clean and spacious. Less than a 5 minute walk to the beach, stores, and dining options. We loved being able to bring our pup. It was a wonderful experience and we will be definitely staying there again!

Liked - Very nice home. Very spacious. Laundry included. Right by the beach - right across the street access. Lovely porches in front and back. It was off-season and chilly/rainy when I was there so I only got to sit out there and work on my laptop one day. TV had actual live TV channels, when so many people just have Roku, which to me is so very limited. They were very responsive. Overall great place. Sort of Disliked - absolutely none of the normal items like coffee or any cooking oils or spices that I've always seen left over from all previous stays. When traveling, I don't want to have to go to the store to buy cooking spices for example only to have to leave them or trash them or have the owners/cleaners get to have them... They need to leave instructions on how to use the coffee maker. The front/back door needs a little more insulation around the edges b/c the strong winds blow right through them, but it only made it slightly chillier.

Unique interior with original wood paneled walls. Huge master bath. Very nice kitchen and bath amenities as well as large TV with tons of channel options. Close to ocean. Quiet.

Clean, spacious home. Dog friendly. Prompt assistance if needed.

Nice place with good location.

The property was as advertised and was correctly rated by previous guests. The owner was very communicative before our stay. The unit was very clean. The kitchen well appointed. The kitchen and bathrooms were renovated but the rest of the unit keeps its old school charm. Noticed lightbulbs were out and water dispensed from fridge wasn’t not working. I only made note of this to the owner and it was fixed immediately. The price point for our October 11-18, 2025 stay was excellent. The unit is dog friendly. Just a block from beach access. The house is solid. We were there during a Nor’easter. Would stay there again! Would recommend to others.

Great location for beach access at Nags Head (less than one block from the nearest public beach access) and for quick trips around the town and Kill Devil Hills. The outdoor shower was really nice also. It was one of those times when the host and my family’s preferences lined up well from a host recommendation standpoint and we enjoyed almost all of the recommendations from Morning Cafe, to BootyTreats, to Jockey’s Ridge at sunset, to Corolla wild horses, the list goes on and on. The house was a great size for our family of 5 and dog friendly. There is also a dog park at the hotel next to the rental which was helpful. Harris Teeter and a number of food options are within easy walking distance also. Would definitely stay there again! Thanks!

Beautiful place! Perfect location and steps from the beach. Full kitchen with everything needed. Huge beds. Loved the soaking tub!!

Our host was so helpful with great restaurant and local recommendations. We appreciated the well-appointed kitchen and proximity to the beach!

Inside the unit is very spacious. Couldnt believe the size of the master bath. Kitchen is fantastic for those vacationers that prefer to stay in and cook. Very well equipped and spacious. Beds are decently comfortable. Pull out couch was also more comfortable than

Clean property close to beach access, good deal.

Stayed ther 2 nights for are anniversary. Loved it. Great location

Great location. Very clean and comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay in an excellent, cute, and clean accommodation close to the beach. There was plenty of space, and everything worked well. The owner was very available and helpful. Highly recommend!

Spacious 2nd floor rental. Great location-Nearby restaurants and shopping. A few steps to beach access.

Overall it was a good stay. The house is just like pictured. Beds weren't terrible. BIG bathtub was very relaxing. Could use another sofa or more comfortable chairs in the living area. The second bedroom has a tv but no streaming device had to buy our own. Location is great easy beach access and walkable restaurants we had to buy one

Great location

The property is very well-kept, but it was a shock to find out it was an upstairs unit. I did not see anything in the posting that mentioned it was an upstairs unit. Also, the driveway for the unit is very hard to find, and the GPS of the unit takes you next door with no way to connect to the property.

We loved our week here- this upper floor unit is right across from the beach with a nice little yard and two outside porches. The beach access is right at the border of Kill Devils Hill and Nags head and the nags head side allows leased dogs all day all year—watch out for the hot sand and sand spurs though! We had our dog and worried he would struggle with the stairs to the flat- about 20 steps from ground level. But they were well maintained with railings and closed risers so he trotted right up and down.the place was very clean, nice and comfortable furniture and well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed the oversized tub too. Joe and lisa were great hosts- very responsive. We would come back!

Loved the charm of an older home but with the updated touches. Kitchen was wonderful. We loved the location as well. The host gave us wonderful dining recommendations that we found very helpful and we were satisfied with them all.

This was the best experience we’ve had with a rental so far!! It changed our minds about staying at a rental property in the future. This house was perfect for our family of four!! We had such a wonderful week there in OBX. Clean, roomy and such a beautiful house!! We enjoyed the porch in the front and it was such a short walk to the beach. It was in a good location so we had a short drive to all the things we wanted to go do. Joe was wonderful and so very helpful. We would definitely stay at the property again. Five stars all the way!!

Super close to ocean access, zero hassle, clean beautiful home! Good cooking appliances and utensils, couldn’t ask for anything more! Oh yeah and the softest pillows and couches

Loved the house. It was very comfortable

What a wonderful sanctuary for beach lovers! It's a beautiful place--we are so grateful that you share you heavenly spot with others!
