Salvo, North Carolina
Located on one of the most beautiful and unspoiled beaches on the East Coast. Moondance is located semi-oceanfront, on a cul-de-sac, in a very quiet neighborhood in Salvo. Beach access is just across the cul-de-sac and the beach is a short 3 minute walk down the boardwalk. The sound is also a short, 5 minute walk down Farrow Dr., where you can find Hatteras Watersports that rents kayaks, standup paddleboards and other water sports equipment.
Moondance sits on a half acre, corner lot, which provides plenty of open space for viewing the sunrises and sunsets from the deck.
The private pool provides a great alternative to the beach and the hot tub is right beside the pool. One of our favorite things about the house is sitting in the hot tub on a clear night. The star views on Hatteras are amazing and you have a wide viewing area from the hot tub. Other outside amenities include an outdoor shower, a large basketball court, a gas grill, a charcoal grill and fish cleaning table.
The first floor has four bedrooms and two baths. The beds in the two main bedrooms are a king bed and a queen and these two bedrooms share a jock and jill bath. Bedroom number three has two twin beds and number four has two sets of bunks and these bedrooms share a hall bath. Three of the bedrooms have a TV (only the bunk room doesn't). The deck on this floor also has a comfortable swing and adirondack chairs for relaxing.
The upstairs great room includes the kitchen, half bath, as well as living and dining areas. The wet bar provides extra space for making cocktails. There are two dining tables with seating for 10, plus 7 bar stools between the kitchen bar and the wet bar. The kitchen is very well stocked for nights when you want to stay in and cook.
The deck on the top floor was replaced in 2022 and provides adirondack and captain chair seating to take in the views and ocean breezes. There are gates on both decks that provide a convenient way to keep pets contained while they enjoy the outdoors.
Other updates to the house in time for the 2023 season include all new stainless steel appliances, sofa, loveseat and other furniture
Beach chairs and umbrellas are also provided.

House was dated, but very clean. The main living area was an open floor plan with access to a full large size upper deck. Some of the unique features we liked were the separate bar in the main living area, gates on the deck entrances large eating area, large drive, easy access to the beach, and nice hot tub with pool.
First vac in 5 years. Not disappointed. Even our dog enjoyed the time away from home. Best time of the year to visit this area. Less of a crowd and weather was wonderful
The house was centrally located and had everything we needed for our week stay. The pool/hot tub were great alternatives to spending everyday on the beach, and the gates on the deck were perfect at holding in our dog (and our toddler too!). I'd highly recommend Moondance to anyone who is looking for an OBX getaway.
Our family had a wonderful, relaxing week at Moondance. It was a short walk to the beach (we brought a wagon to carry our chairs, etc.) The beach was not crowded and was pristine. The house had plenty of space for us (9 adults and our 15-month-old grandson). The living area was comfortable and the dining table fit all of us for our meals. We had delicious pizza from Leonardo’s, and ice cream from the local creamery 1 block away. Beds were super comfortable! And the neighborhood was quiet. The pool and hot tub were a fun way to relax after a day in the ocean. The upper deck was perfect for stargazing. And the lower deck has a relaxing swing for 2. I would definitely recommend this property to a large group!
Despite the rain, we had an excellent stay at Moondance in Salvo! Booking was easy and efficient online, the house was super clean when we arrived, and the house exceeded our expectations for our week at the beach!
This is a great property that was well maintained and cleaned. It is located in a culdesac with an access to the beach. The upper floor had a great kitchen, a large table that sat 8, and a smaller table that had 4 chairs and was perfect for puzzles. There was couch seating for 5 and 3 chairs. There was a bar area and lots of great art. The lower floor had 4 rooms. The queen and king are jack and Jill style with a bathroom. The twin rooms (2 and 4) have a bathroom between them with a laundry directly outside. The upper and lower decks are gated and work well with dogs and both floors get a great breeze. The hall bath fan wasn't working and it wasn't possible to take a bath because of the faucet. The only reason I wouldn't give this house a 5 star is that the ocean view in the listing can only be seen from a tiny spot on the top floor and you can't see anything worthwhile.
Had such a great time at a great place we want to do it again next year!!
We had an awesome time. Enjoyed how comfortable the house felt. Easy access to beach. Pool was very clean and nice. We rented bikes and explored the area. Visited Bodie Lighthouse and Wright Bros Memorial. We had an awesome dinner at Good Winds Restaurant. Would definitely return to this house. Mike was an excellent host. He was very responsive and welcoming.
The beach access is nice, the area was quiet. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The only complaint we had was that when the kids were running around, the whole house seemed to shake, we hadn’t experienced that at other houses in the outer banks but overall the house did what we needed it to do.
Farrow Shores is an ideal place for a family vacation. There were 6 adults and 2 children in our group and we had plenty of space for everyone to enjoy dinner and game night comfortably. The ocean/waves were pretty rough several of the days we were there and we were able to enjoy time at the pool and hot tub. The walk to the beach truly takes about 5 minutes with easy access to the beach area. We had a great stay at Farrow Shores and plan to come back.
This house was a wonderful place to spend time with my family. Awesome location! House was perfect! It had everything we needed to cook family meals and hang out together!
This was an incredible property! 5 minute walk to the beach, clean and spacious house, awesome pool and hot tub, great area, and responsive host. We hope to come back next year!
My family had a wonderful time. Place is accurately depicted. Owner is pleasant and quick to respond. We would definitely like to stay here again.
Moondance is a great beach house for a family gathering! The living room, dining room, and kitchen area on the upper level are spacious and comfortable with plenty of room to relax. The large dining room table is perfect for puzzles, games, or family meals; and with a kitchen table, too, there's no need to pick up that 1,000 piece puzzle at dinnertime! The two decks are full of comfortable wooden chairs and a swing to enjoy the ocean breeze, birds, and stars at night. The bedrooms are comfortable with plenty of extra blankets and closet space. The beach is a short walk from the house and feels quite secluded. Great for kite flying! The owner's description of the beach house is quite detailed. We'd definitely stay at Moondance again!
