Salt Therapy OBX | Oceanfront | Dog Friendly, Hot Tub | Nags Head

The house itself is really nice. Location is fantastic. We just had a few problems:1. We paid for early check in and arrive right at 1pm. The lock would not open until close to 2pm. So we sat outside and waited. We talked to the rental place (OBX Blue) on the phone to troubleshoot but that was unsuccessful. So that was a frustrating start to the trip. 2. The fridge was not cold and didn’t get cold until about 30 hours after we got there. OBX Blue brought some ice and 4 styrofoam coolers. But some food still was wasted. That was a bummer. 3. The oceanfront location was a selling point. But there was beach replenishment happening when we were there so we had to walk a ways to the next public beach access to get on the beach. With young kids and gear, that was not ideal. I wish OBX Blue had alerted us when the beach replenishment work started so we knew what to expect.

The location was exceptional. That being said the beach access next to the house was shut down for the last 3 days of our stay. The city was doing work on the beach there. No other access was readily available except to go over the dunes. The check in process was not great. Check in was at 4. We got there at 4. We were unable to unlock the keyless entry using the code. We called the office. After waiting an hour they sent a tech over who changed the batteries. It still did not work. We left a slider unlocked aka took the broom stick out, upstairs. Called the next day and they came out to replace the whole device. The hot tub was great but broke down for over 24 hours of our 5 day stay. They did come out and fix that. It smelled like burning which it was. Under the house where the grill and shower are was a disaster . There was trash strewn about. We did not dare use the grill as the tank was laying next to it and it was set in the uneven sand. There were a few other broken things, corner guard on steps to outside, closet door off hinges, faucet handle needed a screw to stay attached to name a few. I realize that it is a pet friendly property but there were fur tumbleweeds going across the floor. I really don’t feel they went through the property before guests arrived. We did call the office numerous times about the keyless entry and hot tub. Wish that even half of those things had been taken care.

Fantastic location! Lovely house with great common areas and views of the ocean. We had all the amenities we needed and everything worked.

The beach view can only be seen from the upstairs balcony. The sheets were dirty. Mold on the shower curtain, the jetted tub had gunk in the jets. The rules said no sand in the hot tub but there was a lot of it on arrival. No broom. Beach access is not easy to get to and construction going on for the part that was easy. It’s a cozy little place. And it could have been worse. But it was not what was expected. I won’t be booking there again.

We had a great time.

The house was very outdated and dirty. When we arrived there was at least an inch of sand on the lower deck, there was sand in the hot tub, the outside chairs were covered with sand. We had no internet, which was fixed quickly and the shower head in the upstairs hall bathroom fell off. This was so fixed the next day. The house had sand inside and we spent the first few hours of our vacation vacuuming and cleaning sand off the decks and the outside furniture. There was a shelf missing in the refrigerator, the master bed squeaked, the kitchen counters had sand on them, the dining room table was dirty and the grill was dirty. We noticed that the floor sloped down.

Easy access and check-in. Little hard to find the driveway the first time. Clean, quiet, and tight in the beach. Kid friendly home and pets allowed is great l!

Great property! So clean and great beach access and views. Responsive hosts and wonderful stay! Thank you for such a memorable experience.

Upon arriving, the code to the door was management was called to resolve. The home seemed as it was not turned over sufficently. The floors were dirty. The main bathroom level was not clean. Dead cockroach in the same bathroom. Baseboards we're not cleaned and very dusty. There was that toilet paper in all bathrooms nor paper towels. Nothing for minimal, short term rental for guests. Called the management number for assistance and advised.If we had a welcome bag. There was not a welcome bag. Management was a little defensive rather than customer service oriented. Requested to advise management of our concern and the female who we are speaking with advice that she was management. Two individuals were sent to reclean the house the next day and not the same day. Hot tub was dirty and cold. The neighboring home advised also that our hot tub was bubbling over peior to oir arrival. Throughout the stay more cockroaches.. crawling in the house. Only certain areas of the home is remodeled, the listing ifoentje rental is not what it seems. The bathrooms are dated. The doors are dated and do not close correctly. There is carpet in the master bedroom. The shower and hot tub are completely dated. The countertops are dated. The shower knob has mold and falls off. Master bedroom mattress &the main level mattress completely uncomfortable, and the box springs are broken.,broken closet doors. Outer bank's blue is not a rmanagement company. We are still waiting to hear back on compens

This house was in an amazing location but the house is worn out and there was a lot of things that needed to be fixed. The beds were really uncomfortable and needed to be replaced, the sliding glass doors needed to be washed (when we arrived), the tracks of the doors were so dirty we couldn’t fully open them. The dishes were not all fully clean. The shower curtain in the master wasn’t attached and fell when we used the shower. The closet door in another bedroom was off its track. The location was amazing, and with some updates and a good clean this would be a great house to stay in.

The location of the property was perfect, beach front and easy access to all the places my husband and I like to go to. Although the pictures don’t reflect it, the property is worn and not not as clean as other places we stayed managed by OBB. The cleaning folks don’t seem to scrub goop from sinks and toilets. The baseboards had dog hair on them. The furniture was pilled and seemed dirty. When you open the silverware drawer it fall out. It would have been dangerous with little kids. The sliding doors leading to the porch were FILTHY. Dog nose prints and dingy. I cleaned them when I got here so we could see through them to the view. Under the home was cluttered and messy, broken kite debris, broken swing and filthy grill. It seems the owners do not keep up with the property. We had a great stay but would not rent this home again. It’s pricey for the condition of it. I understand location, location, location. Note: we have always been pleased with Outer Banks Blue and will continue to rent from them.
