The Salty Soul is a cozy, bright, and cheerfully decorated cottage in the heart of the Outer Banks. Nestled between the highway (US 158) and beach road (NC 12) in Kill Devil Hills at MP 10, it is conveniently located to restaurants, shopping, mini golf, and more. Our cottage even backs up to Kill Devil Grill--one of the best restaurants on the beach!

Getting to the beach is easy with two nearby accesses...one at Lake Drive a little north, and a parking access at Eighth Street just alittle south (still walkable, though). Or walk a footpath north of the cottage... about a 3 minute walk.

The Salty Soul is perfect for a couples retreat, small family, or a quiet friends weekend. The lower level (and entry area) of the cottage has a convenient heated and cooled room with washer and dryer, utility sink, extra refrigerator, and a private toilet. Upstairs features an open living room with a cozy deck overlooking a large fenced in backyard, kitchen & dining area, as well as a large ensuite bedroom that has a king size bed and a bathroom with double sinks, toilet, and a tub shower combo.

A queen size bed in a spacious room is on the top floor. Working space is available with desk and chair. This bedroom has a large full bathroom. Off this 2nd bedroom is a walk-through closet leading to the 3rd room that has the full size bed in it and a nightstand with light. Great for the snorer in the family or someone wanting privacy. This small quaint room is best suited for children or 1 adult.
Note: This 3rd room has no windows and accesses the bathroom through the 2nd bedroom.

The outdoor space is spacious under the house, on the back deck, or in the fenced in yard area. You can enjoy eating outside, playing corn hole, or grilling out on the gas grill. After a long day at the beach, you can rinse off in the outdoor shower and relax by the fire pit with a cold drink in hand!

    The house was as described in post! Right in the middle of what I would call the strip of KDH and Nags head. Very easy to get to and things to do. Debra and Nell were responsive when we got to town and when we were leaving. Thanks for a great time and we enjoyed the time spent on the back deck.

    The house was lovely, very clean. However, we were there for 4 days and only 2 dishwasher tabs were available for us to use. I have never come across that before. Also we were required to unload the dishwasher before leaving. Again, I had not come across that either. Every other place I have rented, we load the dishwasher, turn it on and leave. Those are small issues that can and should be addressed. Everything else was lovely; easy access to the ocean. It stormed while we were there, I was there had been games &/or playing cards to pass the time, but we were warm and safe inside.

    Absolutely beautiful and sparkling clean home! We have been visiting OBX for many years and this was one of the cleanest and most organized houses we have ever stayed in for our our vacation. We knew where to find everything we needed. The host was most gracious and answered any questions we had right away. Short walk to beach and great restaurant spots nearby. We wanted to move in and stay! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home with us.

    We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Salty Soul. It was convenient to everything in a nice neighborhood. We were within walking distance of restaurants and the beach. Our daughter snd her friend moved the upstairs area that gave them private space as young adults. It was nicely furnished. We wanted a place that we could enjoy and feel comfortable in. The owner pays attention to details, takes pride in providing a nice place and wants guests to enjoy their stay.

    I stayed at this beach house over the weekend, and it completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, it felt like the perfect beach house. The space was spotless and beautifully decorated.The house was well-stocked with everything we needed, from kitchen essentials to beach gear. The beds were super comfortable, and the whole layout was perfect for us. If you’re looking for a place to disconnect, relax, and soak in the best of the Outer Banks, this is it. I’m already thinking about booking my next stay!

    Our family booked a last minute OBX trip and the Salty Soul was the perfect place to stay. The house was very clean and well kept. Kids loved the backyard for kicking the soccer ball. Perfect location for us as we did activities north of Nags Head and on Roanoke.

    Overall, The Salty Soul was a good short, weekend rental. The house was modern and decorated well. The location was perfect. The house was not visibly dirty, but it was obvious the floors were not mopped prior to our arrival because our feet were very dirty all weekend if barefoot. Also, one of the upstairs smoke alarms was open and didn’t have a battery inside- this is a safety concern for guests. The third bedroom size was misleading from pictures. It is a very small room/closet with a double bed. It would be a great option for children, but a challenge for two adults. The hostess was made aware of these concerns. Check in and check out went smoothly. We enjoyed our weekend here.

    I can’t say enough great things about this house. Everything was beautifully appointed and made you feel like you could be in your own home. So many amenities were provided for comfort, cooking, and activities. Kids loved playing the back yard. The location was perfect and many choices for dining, shopping, attractions, and beach access were so close by. I hope we can come back and stay longer next time. The owner’s communication was top notch. If you are coming to the OBX, you need to book this property!

    We had an amazing time at Debra's vacation home! From the moment I booked the rental through the day I messaged the cleaning staff of our departure- time we had nothing but the BEST experience. The house is so new and clean! Lots of room for our two families (4 adults and 2 children) to spread out. Spending every night on the back deck and every morning with coffee there was just so relaxing! The close walk to the beach access is just ideal with smaller kids. Even hurricane Debbie that passed through while we were there did not dampen the amazing time we had. It was part of my family's first time to OBX (our sixth) and they were just blown away! Thanks so much Debra for being a wonderful host throughout all of our vacationing time!!
