Salted Dunes OBX, Beach front, Wild Horses, Pool, Hot Tub, 4x4 Beach, 7 Bedroom

The host was very responsive and helped with information. The rental was clean, a little dated, but overall acceptable. There was so much room for people to spread out. We didn’t use the hot tub but it looked wonderful. The lid was off when we arrived so we left it that way, not knowing if they had done that for a reason.

Fantastic place - owners were excellent, very communicative. One toilet and one shower in separate rooms were not working. Not a big inconvenience. Air filters need replacing. Amazing location in OBX. Would love to stay here again.

The owner was extremely friendly and responsive. The location of the house was perfect- gorgeous views of the ocean, dunes and wild horses. Having a pool was also great for the entire family. This property had the perfect layout.We will be back!

The setting is quite beautiful. We had zero issue getting there and back daily. The first level- there’s a door that was just standing- not actually hanging. Downstairs fridge leaks, tv didn’t work in a few rooms. For me the worst part was the hot water situation- there isn’t enough to go around. When the water is used on other floors no water will come out of the faucet on the 3rd floor. The water also comes out with a lot of sediment. Everything was in ok condition- otherwise. We woke up to horses several mornings.

This home is absolutely beautiful in a perfect location. It's clean with plenty of room. The views were breath taking. There were horses around the house every day and lots of shops and restaurants close by.

We found the home clean, comfortable and generally as advertised. There were nine of us so the layout and bed to bath configuration suited our needs well. The owners were easy to deal with and responsive to the couple of minor issues we encountered while at Salted Dunes. The only negatives we experienced was the water pressure was insufficient to support much more than one consumer at a time. We were aware of the water quality issue (very rusty) before renting the property so that came as no surprise but a negative all the same. We suspect that this is a local water quality issue that the other homes in this area suffer from and not isolated to this one residence. Overall, our family enjoyed the beach; the horses and magnificent views of the Atlantic Ocean sun rises and sunsets. Would recommend this to any family looking for a tranquil vacation spot but be prepared for traversing the beach access and dealing the water issues and you will enjoy your stay.

Beautiful home!!! Very well kept and clean. The location was everything you can dream of! Wild horses seen daily, gorgeous beach, great pool!!! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

A perfect friend’s gathering for a week of celebration! The house was exactly as described online. The kitchen was stocked well with appliances and cooking tools! Bedrooms were all a great size and beds were comfy! We had no issues with the water. Loved the deck and enjoyed sitting on the deck on top of the dune! Perfect walk to the beach with gorgeous views of the beach!!! We will stay again!

The house itself was very spacious and accommodating! The location was great, as it was right on the beach, just a very short walk over the dunes. It was so nice have our own pool right on the property. The downfall of the house is that it wasn’t very well cleaned. We arrived to a dishwasher full of the past guests dishes, along with the washer and dryer full of the past guests towels. The house was pretty dirty overall- bugs squished on the walls, couches caked with filth under the cushions, fridge dirty, etc. At the end of our stay we were instructed to remove the sheets from our beds and place by the washer but not the blanket or pillow shams, which to me implies they do not get washed regularly between guests. Just not what you expect when paying this kind of price. There was also very low water pressure, as only one person could shower at a time (although there was 6 showers). And at times there wasn’t enough water pressure to use any of the sinks or wash laundry. This could just be from being in the location it is though. Overall would rent there again if the cleaning was stepped up a notch! Owners were very pleasant and easy to communicate with.

We recently stayed at this beach rental and were excited about its prime location, which is undoubtedly its best feature. However, our experience was marred by several significant issues. First and foremost, the water system had severe rust issues, which we discovered when our laundry came out stained with an orange hue. This problem extended beyond just the washing machine; even our swimwear was affected after being worn in the pool. The owner did send maintenance to address the issue promptly and provided a partial refund for the ruined items, which we appreciated. However, the compensation was minimal, and the owner’s dismissive attitude and lack of empathy left a sour taste. The owner suggested that sunscreen interacting with the water was the cause, which implies future renters should avoid using sunscreen to prevent damage—an impractical expectation at a beach property. Additionally, we encountered several other issues: The cleanliness of the floors was questionable, leaving our bare feet dirty. About half of the outlets did not work. A light fixture was hanging from the ceiling in one bathroom. While we managed to overlook these problems and enjoy the beach, the overall experience with the property and more so the host was disappointing. I would advise future renters to be cautious, especially with laundry and swimwear. In other reviews, cleanliness seems to be a problem so perhaps a new cleaning company should be utilized.
