Double Dog Dare – Sound-View OBX Retreat in Black Dog Harbor, Salvo

Beautiful property. We had a great time on our intergenerational vacation. Aaron was very responsive throughout our stay. We’re already planning our next trip to Double Dog Dare!

Sunset views were amazing. House was comfortable and clean. Host was very responsive to address any concerns

Clean property with a great location, close to drive on beach access

We had a wonderful experience! Aaron is a delightful host and is one who will reply quickly. The place was gorgeous and we felt safe walking at night. The views are excellent and it’s close to salvo beach and a five minute drive to the Real. We will definitely be back for a month long stay next year when we retire!

This home is exactly as described. Clean, nicely decorated and has everything you can think of. Kitchen was well equipped, back deck sunset views are amazing, great location, and owners were responsive. Would definitely stay again!

Very clean, well kept up, and in a great location. Enjoyed our stay there very much.

This was our third summer at double dog dare and we will keep coming back. The house is gorgeous, well laid out, great kitchen, dining, living space for hanging out, private bedrooms and bathrooms. We love the view of the sound and use the kayaks and fishing pier every day. Hosts are super responsive and kind. This place is paradise!

House was as advertised. Clean, easy to check in/out, close to the sound and beach. Kitchen had all the pots/pans and extra appliances you need for a short vacation: blender, crock pot, etc. easy to wander to the pier to go fishing or grab a kayak and catch the sunset.

We really enjoyed our stay at this home. It’s like a model home but comfy and clean. We were in contact with the owners before and during our stay and they have been great to work with. My husband and I checked in and my parents joined us later in the week. The home is in a great location in a quiet culdesac. The home is well stocked with everything you need to cook and enjoy. There’s a gas grill and a charcoal grill. There’s plenty of room for a family to gather and have fun. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms just off each bedroom is a plus. There are closets for hanging up closets with really nice felt hangers. The beach is just across the street. It’s a little bit of a walk but it’s a great walk. There are restaurants and shops nearby too. We ate sandwiches from the Market Deli and they’re delicious and huge! You can share one and get plenty to eat. We ate at Waterman’s Grill and one note is to seat your family and then one person place your food order at the counter. Seating is limited there. We ended up with takeout. Our last night there we ate at Ketch55 and it was mediocre at best. There’s a Food Lion just down the road about 18 minutes and a Duck Donuts in the same shopping center in Avon NC. This was probably one of our best vacations since before Covid. Thanks to the owners for allowing us to spend time in their beautiful home. And thanks to their next door neighbor for puttering out the trash for us and helping out with things around the neighborhood.

This was our second stay at Double Dog Dare and we looking forward to our next stay there already. The house was beautiful, clean, and well equipped to make our stay very comfortable. The views from the back decks are beautiful. The neighborhood is in a great location and has a gazebo, fishing pier, boat launch, kayaks, and corn hole. The owners communicate well and are very responsive.
