Let romance bloom in the arms of “Salt Heir”, a dreamy misty blue vintage beach cottage with a unique cut flower garden experience surrounding her. Location counts for nature lovers. Salt Heir is ideally located one block from the wide golden beach lining the Atlantic Ocean and one block in the other direction from swampy First Landing State Park which is loaded with tree lined hiking trails swinging with Spanish moss and a popular hidden local favorite beach at the Narrows whereboats often gather which makes for a very festive atmosphere during warmer weather. Our very rare c.1930’s vacation home was lovingly restored retaining as many of the original charming details as we could possibly salvage while adding luxurious modern touches like warm marble mosaic floors in the bathrooms and laundry room and a deeply carved imported marble fireplace with a remote controlled gas log and a palace sized wool rug under our custom leather couch and club chair that adds to the overall high end designer feel of the space. Every room has at least one fabulous antique, a tradition handed down in our family. An impressive chef’s kitchen featuring brands including Viking, Meile & Big Chill & Breville will inspire you to get busy in the kitchen and make some wonderful dining memories in our sunny dining room space overlooking the front garden. We stock ground coffee, fresh half & half, basic spices, chefs knives, tools as well as a collection of All Clad cookware and SMEG coffeemaker. A Kitchenette hand mixer and Breville counter mixer & toaster oven are also included among your arsenal of kitchen tools to assist with food & drink preparation. We also have a selection of fresh seasonal herbs growing in pots surrounding our outdoor grill located on a paved patio just off of the lower back deck. We recently restored our cottage for family to enjoy for short summer vacations but now are permitted by the City and very pleased to be opening up our cottage doors for guests to book and enjoy as if it were their own family cottage. We hope to have the same guests return every year, choosing Salt Heir to enjoy with family & friends that appreciate the many fine details that set our cottage a class above most. If you appreciate a finer quality, high end beach vacation experience in an upscale but understated casual setting while visiting our resort city here in Virginia Beach then “ Salt Heir” may become your favorite destination retreat to escape to. Visiting executives traveling for work will appreciate our designated office space overlokking the garden featuring an antique Horner desk and leather Hooker adjustable executive chair along with a drawer full of office essentials. We also offer board games and books. To heighten the classic cottage charm even further we have surrounded our vintage beach cottage with a wonderful micro fresh cut “flower farm” garden embedded in the landscape which features an impressive succession of colorful cut flower & filler options from March-October. Guests are invited to cut armloads of bouquets from the surrounding garden to enjoy during their stay or request a complimentary bouquet to greet you upon arrival. Just ask when you book and we’ll take care of you and your guests to make sure fresh flower arrangements await their arrival. Vases, gloves, baskets and snips are provided for you to borrow while you harvest cut flowers. Our gem of a cottage topped with a a distinctive copper antique whale weathervane is nestled a block in each direction between the scenic swampy old Spanish moss laden hiking trails located in First Landing State Park and the wide immaculate golden beach lining the sparkling Atlantic Ocean along the North End of Virginia Beach. Our chef’s kitchen invites you to experiment with local ingredients perhaps found at the Old Beach farmers market just a few miles away open each Saturday until noon. Ample dining and living space allows room for up to 6 adults to relax. All bedrooms feature brand new extremly high end mattresses and large LG Oled TV’s tucked into designer wall cabinets with cloding doors for those who wish to take a vacation from media while staying at Salt Heir. The sunny dedicated work space featuring a heavily carved wood antique desk and comfortable adjustable executive desk chair and dining space overlook the large front flower garden are bright and welcoming. The dining room features a fabulous antique dining table from the early 1800’s and is complimented by brand new reproduction style chairs that coordinate with the era the table was created in. In the summertime the outdoor seating area overlooking the garden is an ideal space to watch the parade of people & pets traveling to and from First Landing State Park. There is a second more private outdoor living space located on the back deck featuring a covered seating area and grilling space surrounded by freshly potted herbs overlooking gardens. Our cottage offers ample off street parking for up to 3-5 cars. For guests of guests, street parking is free and on a first come first served basis with no special passes ever needed. A newer 4 seat street legal blue golf cart is also available for reservation for an additional fee of $100 a day with a 3 day minimum. Come stay at Salt Heir a block from the beach and breath easy knowing your beautiful vacation experience will always be a good one staying at Salt Heir. Look for our distinctive vintage copper whale weathervane swimming high above our garden and you will know you have arrived at the one and only Salt Heir. Welcome to your favorite beach luxury cottage!

    This was the perfect house for our family of four! We can to town for a lacrosse tournament and we enjoy having a comfortable place to relax after a day of games. Danna's house is so absolutely perfect and clean. Such a stunningly beautiful home, inside and out. Danna is so thoughtful and we had the most beautiful fresh cut flowers lovingly placed throughout the house. Having the golf cart to go to the beach was handy and fun! We highly recommend spending time at Salt Heir!!! We hope to be back soon!!!

    There aren’t enough words to do this place justice in a brief review. This is for the high end luxury type folks. Heated tiles, extremely awesome, all the special touches you expect if you prefer high end, top shelf properties. Great beds and kitchen, you won’t know unless you go. Also eat at the “Leaping Lizard” and “Harvest“ while you stay in VB. 5 Star host and communication. Flowers everywhere, a real gem!

    Our family had a terrific time at Salt Heir. The location is wonderful, house super charming and superior furnishings. Host provided everything we needed. The AC kept the house very cool and comfortable and it was very quiet. The front flower garden is beautiful and provided a great backdrop for family photos. Would absolutely stay here again.

    We were a group of 3 couples, and the house was large enough for all. The primary suite and living area are especially spacious, with antiques and quality linens throughout. The kitchen is well-stocked with new equipment plus a wide variety of food items and snacks. Bathrooms are recently renovated and luxurious. It's a great location: just a block from the beach in one direction, and a block from a state park with 20 miles of interesting trails in the other. Not far from restaurants and stores, but definitely at the quiet end of the beach. The outdoor spaces would provide additional getaway spots for the introverts in your group. The host was readily available, friendly, and easy to work with (thanks Danna!). We would definitely stay here again!

    I am not usually inclined to submit reviews, but the experience was so pleasant I felt the need to share. We reserved the Salt Heir for our 4th of July getaway. Everything from the house, location, amenities, and especially the host were on par with 5 star resorts we have stayed at. We arrived to a lovely home filled with drinks, snacks, and beach supplies only 2 blocks from a less crowded beach at the north end. We had use of a golf cart for easy transportation, whether down to the beach, to the state park at the end of the street, or elsewhere (it was street legal). We were even provided charcoal for the grill when we had a cook out. The host was always responsive and proactive in communication. I would recommend the Salt Heir for anyone looking for an elevated experience in Virginia Beach and would happily stay there again!

    Encapsulates all of Virginia Beach’s beauty. Perfectly situated on the north end with access to both seashore state park and the beach. The gardens surpass any expectations that I had and the home was clean and comfortable.
