Enjoy a Backyard Beach Home in Southern Shores! The Kitchen’s Salt House OBX!

What a great house. We had our three children, three grandchildren, son-in-law and always had plenty of space for everyone. The canal and Kayaks were a wonderful feature. Great kitchen, spacious tv room, we never wanted to leave. We had a family reunion of sorts and of the 4 rented houses the Kitchen's Salthouse was everyone's favorite. John Lamparelli

Great stay enjoyed it very much house very clean

The home was very inviting and spacious. Overall cleanliness was great. The outside of the building could use a little TLC but not a game changer. The major challenge we faced was the wheelchair accessibility. We chose this home specifically for the accessibility. The access ramp was located mid ways up a rather steep driveway. Pushing a wheelchair up the driveway to the home or holding it back from rolling down the hill when going on an outing was extremely difficult and required great strength. The ramp was thin and had a 90 degree turn. The doorway was extremely tight for a bariatric wheelchair. The other option for wheelchair access was through the garage to a bedroom that would be apart from all family activities. There was not a bathroom that allowed a wheelchair. The walk in shower was thin and didn’t allow for a wheelchair either. The air conditioner cooled great but had a leak that flooded the garage if a bucket was not constantly emptied. Be sure to read all fine print as linens was listed one area and listed as not included in another. We luckily caught this the night before our arrival and was prepared.These were issues we managed through. Disappointing for us but this home is an excellent choice and highly recommended for a group that does not require wheelchair accessibility. This option should really be removed from the listing.

The salt house was a fantastic place to stay for the week. Our party consisted of 4 adults, two young teens and two kids! The kitchen has everything you need, whether you want to bake, cook or steam seafood. There is a drip coffee machine as well as a Nespresso (original) machine! That was a huge plus to have Nespresso as an it would have been nice to have an air fryer, but that’s just nit picking because this house is awesome!!!During our stay, we saw a fawn and her mom, as well as a great blue heron catch breakfast!all while drinking our coffee on the backyard beach! A few lizards as well. We even saw a crab by the dock. We did not make time to fish unfortunately! Southern shores is a wonderful neighborhood and perfect for those who want easy and quiet time to spend with family or friends. As a note for guests who may not have experience in the southeast, you may see a bug or two during your stay on the property! There are fire ants in the sand, in case you have kids who may not be fans of bugs. It is to be expected down here!Also for parking, sadly my husband couldn’t make the trip, but I’m not sure his diesel GMC would have fit down the driveway, as my BIL also drove a truck down. 3 SUV/truck combo might make for Tetris parking! But overall amazing stay!! We truly appreciate the Kitchens opening their home to us!! I would come back again!

My family loves coming to stay at the Kitchen's Salt House! The house has plenty of room to spread out and areas where it's easy to spend time together. We love the amenities like kayaks and paddle boards, fire pit, outside games, and board games. So many ways to have fun together!The house is easy to access, clean, and has a kitchen with all of the equipment you would need. The hosts are easy to work with and helpful. We had a great visit and look forward to returning. Thank you!

Group of friends had a great time at Kitchen’s Salt House in late March. We especially liked the fire pit out by the canal. Would gladly come back!

Very well setup and had everything you need. My family and I will stay there again.

Perfect for our family vacation. A good-sized house with just enough space. The house is well-equipped with everything you need. The kitchen was stocked with cookware and supplies, making it easy to prepare meals. The bedrooms were comfortable. Unfortunately, I missed the part about needing to bring our own bed sheets. For the most part, the house was clean and well-maintained, we did have several run-ins with cockroaches, but nothing terrible. One of the highlights that drew us to this beach house was the canal front. Kayaks and paddle boards were provided by the owner, and we had a lot of fun exploring the waterways. They had plenty of games to keep us occupied when we weren’t at the beach or paddling the canals. The location was perfect for us. A nice quiet community just off the main road as you enter the Outer Banks. This made getting in and out of the area very convenient. A short drive to the beach with dedicated parking. I really liked the fact that we never had to hunt for a parking space. The host was very responsive and accommodating. They were available to answer any questions we had during our stay. This beach house is perfect for families looking to relax and enjoy a stay at the Outer Banks. We had a great time and would consider staying here again. Highly recommend!

It is a lovely home. We very much enjoyed our stay And the neighborhood is quite peaceful. The owners are helpful and responsive. We especially enjoyed the fire pit in the back. We will certainly consider this property again the next time we head down there.

We stayed here with friends and extended family for a long weekend in OBX. Overall the house was great! Nice location close to lots of restaurants and great quiet little sound side location that was very convenient for launching the boat and kayaks. Loved that we could keep the boat tied up right to the dock at the house. The kitchen was well stocked with everything to cook. There’s a fun loft with twin beds and a TV with a Wii that looked so fun for a group of kids (we just had 1 child with us this time around). There were lots of thoughtful extras like beach parking passes, extra life jackets, bikes, etc. A couple of things that are not at all negative but just good to know for future visitors- there are lots of stairs so this may not be the best for older visitors (grandpa and grandma got pretty worn out by the end of our visit); the driveway is fairly narrow and steep so if you bring a boat you won’t be getting it down the driveway, we recommend dropping it at the marina before you even get in the house; and you need to bring or rent your own towels and bedsheets, as an FYI for those coming from farther out of town. Overall would recommend this house and location to anyone coming to OBX! We had a great stay!
