Charming, Affordable, Pet Friendly, Semi-Oceanfront Cottage!

The house needed a good cleaning and some TLC. We had an electrical fire/smolder and had to abandon the property. The property was disconnected from power completely. The RESORT company that actually manages the property ( not vrbo ) couldn’t find another acceptable property for us to stay in. And we didn’t know that until 5:30 the evening of the incident. So we had to pack, and leave that evening at 5:30- and drive all the way back to the Shenandoah Valley.

Lost at Sea is the perfect place to stay for 2-4 people. We have stayed there 5 times. It's our home away from home. We find it very comfortable and homey. It's very spacious and has everything that you need. The linens are super clean and the house is very clean upon arrival. We will be there again next year, I am sure!

The overall cleanliness was great. The size was also good for our needs. Our issue and the reason we are giving it only 3 stars was that the property was not all that kept up. First we were provided 1 towel set per person for the house for the entire week. No spares. The refrigerator on the house level did not have a freezer. But there IS one in the laundry room underneath the house as well as an ice maker, which was pretty cool. There were no spare tissues, paper towels, toilet paper,Laundry soap,dish soap, etc.... What was on the roll was what you got. Also, the stairs coming up to the house and are no longer screwed down in some spots which was unsafe. Splinter galore. The rocker in the front porch was broken and the screen on the front porch blew out in the wind. The doors stuck really bad un the humidity. . The beach equipment was almost all broken. Went to the lockal dollar general for others. Lastly, everything seemed warn and old. We spent so much time outside of the house so it didn't matter too much but when you work hard and spend the money for a vacation.... you expect it to be worth the money. This was not. I would not recommend it honesty and we won't be going back. Someone need to give this place a little TLC.

This property was just as advertised - bright, clean, updated and in a great location in Salvo. Long walks through the dunes to get to the local beach, but the house had a lot of beach chairs and a nice beach wagon and cooler available for use. Loved the sunsets and starscapes at night in the bird’s nest up top. Also the ice machine - I never want to go on a beach vacation in a place that doesn’t have one now.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Great porches, comfortable beds and stylish decor. We missed not having a washer/dryer, a regular size refrigerator/freezer and a closet in the primary bedroom.

We’ve been coming down to the OBX for years. This is our first stay this far down south 12. The house was perfect for our needs and was in a great location. We will absolutely come and stay at this house again.

We have stayed here 3 times. We love it here. It’s just the right size for the two of us plus our doggie. Very cozy. I’m sure we haven’t seen the last. We almost feel like it’s ours!

Very nice. Only one hiccup…. Maintain person came while we were out. No notification they were coming. Good thing we took the dogs with us!!!!!

Wonderful gem, great placement in a quiet neighborhood. Great size and cost when you have a small family and don’t need a six bedroom house. I would add another couch so four can sit comfortably and make one a sleeper sofa type. My kids are young enough sharing a room wasn’t a issue but that will change of course. We came for the 4wd beach which is very near by and loved every moment. Would stay again!

The house was clean and in a great location. For those not familiar with the area, Salvo is secluded and 20+ minutes from some amenities like larger grocery stores like Food Lion. It’s a quiet getaway and in a great location if you want to unplug and unwind. The walk to the beach is a littler farther than I expected but it was doable.
