Stayed Aug 16, 2025Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our third time staying at this property. Location location location! It can't be beat. Right on the beach! Loved starting every day with a cup of coffee on the deck and then walking on the beach as the day got started. House has been upgraded since we were there last. Everything is well set up, well appointed, and in good condition. It was the perfect size for our family of four. Really a wonderful week in OBX. My only complaint is not wanting to leave!

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved our week staying in this house in Kitty Hawk! The location couldn’t be more perfect. With dunes on both sides and no neighboring homes, we had a wide stretch of beach practically to ourselves — it felt private and peaceful, which was wonderful.The home itself was ideal for our family of five, giving everyone plenty of space to relax. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the pots, pans, and dishes we needed, which made cooking most of our meals easy and enjoyable. The property was spotless when we arrived, and we really appreciated the outdoor shower and foot wash station that helped keep the sand outside.This was our first time renting a home in OBX, and it was such a great experience. Since we flew in from out of state, we packed light. The only small surprise was that things like trash bags, laundry detergent, and dishwasher pods weren’t provided, as we’ve had them available in other vacation rentals. It wasn’t a problem since stores are close by, but next time we’ll know to bring a few of those extras with us.Overall, this home was everything we hoped for and more. We truly loved our stay and would highly recommend this home!

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our third year and we love this cottage and the location. The only things we noticed were back hand rail needs repair, outside lights need to be repaired, the HVAC air filter needs more attention and replacement. We always have changed the HVAC filter when we stayed. The driveway renovation is excellent. Maybe one day a walk from the rear deck directly to the beach can be considered or a covered back porch. Overall we love this cottage and plan on renting it every year.

Reviewer Comments: This newly renovated beach front property was everything we could have asked for. So quaint, beautifully decorated, had all the amenities you would need (minus a grill). Being able to walk out your door and walk over a small dune to get right on the beach was AMAZING! The convenience of this little retreat to the beach was just what we needed. At night, we could sit on the deck and listen to the water and even see our kids down on the beach. The Beaxh Balm is a little hidden gem! Highly recommend!!!

Stayed Jun 21, 2025The location was centrally located to many shops and restaurants. The beach front property provided for great views of the beach and ocean. Everyone in our family was extremely happy. We will be looking forward to a return visit next summer. We are interested in a beach from property that permits pets, we missed our family dog this year.

Stayed May 31, 2025We absolutely loved our stay at Beach Balm! We were so close to the beach, we practically felt like we were on the beach while sitting on the deck!There's a bit of a steep dune to climb, but that added to the privacy of the place. Most days, there was 50 yards or more of empty beach on either side between us and the next family on the beach.The new chairs on the deck were perfect for hanging out and enjoying the sights and sounds of the ocean. The interior was well furnished and had plenty of space for our family of 5.Although the windows downstairs are not large, there are plenty of them, resulting in a lot of natural light in the home.And as far as location, there are plenty of great restaurants nearby. You've got a short drive to Duck, Kill Devil Hills, and other nearby areas with plenty of dining and entertainment options.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the great oceanfront location with a view of the sunrise and sunset! The beach was not crowded since there was no house on either side, giving us plenty of space to play and skimboard. The air conditioning was efficient and we found the house very clean. We were a tad confused upon arrival about our beach access- concerned that we would violet the dune policy but we’re relived to find that we were clear to directly access the beach,

It has everything we need and we really enjoyed the updated driveway!! It’s nice to see the owner takes good care of their property. We would love to see some kind of cover installed on the back and possibly a deck walkway that leads from the deck to the beach. That dune behind the property can be a challenge when carrying beach gear. This cottage again is a perfect place for us and we will continue to rent it for years to come!!

Walk right out to the ocean! Watch the sunrise on the deck. Many dolphins viewed daily. Love the updates made to the was beautiful! Our only complaint would be the house was still not clean after 4, and they were done in 15 minutes. Obviously it wasn't as clean as we would expect. But management did say they were short staffed.

Stayed May 25, 2024Our family of 5 loved our stay at Beach Balm! It was the perfect little beachside oasis. The morning sunrises, frequent dolphin sightings, and the ease of going from beach to house was perfect with little ones. The dune was easy for us to navigate over but I can see how it would be challenging for some. We didn’t mind it at all! The A/C was nice and cold and the outdoor shower was warm and enjoyed by our kids. The couch in the main living area is upgraded from the listing photos and I wanted to share that it is really comfortable and our whole family could snuggle up and watch a movie on it in the evenings. Our favorite local spot was Art’s Place, which had a great live band on Friday night, and the food and drinks were awesome too. We look forward to returning to this property again next year.
