SEA HORSE A Charming Beach Cottage

I felt like I was home away from home. So clean & inviting. The screened in porch was wonderful ! Enjoyed shopping near by but the beach was peaceful. Hostess was prompt in responding to my questions; she’s the Best !

We loved our week at the Seahorse! A very cute place with close beach access, and perfect proximity for a nightly ice cream stop at the Village Conery. Sally was so responsive prior to our trip. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Salvo!

Location was perfect size and distance away from beach.

Enjpyed our relaxing stay at Sally's as usual! Close to all the fun amenities of the area!

Adorable cottage, very nice and clean. Sally was very nice to work with, answered questions quickly. It was however a bit different than described. There was no tub, just a nice large shower.The veiw from the crows nest was not as described. You can not see the ocean nor do you have a clear view of the sound side..There weren't supposed to be fireworks around the subdivision but the 3rd and 4th of July there were and scared my dogs. Its still a nice home in a nice area. I would still recommend it.

I've been to the Outer Banks many times, and this little neighborhood in Salvo might be my favorite place to stay. Sally's cottage was quaint and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the dead-end street and the screen porch. The walk to the beach is short and very pretty, with trees forming a tunnel across the path at the entrance to the dunes. I was a little wary of visiting in June, as I've always come in the off season to avoid the crowds. The beach was still surprisingly quiet, just how we like it!The cottage was well-equipped. The outdoor shower was incredible and I don't think anyone showered indoors all week! We did miss some courtesy supplies, such as a starter roll of TP and things like trash bags and hand soap. Definitely grab TP to have with you if you're arriving after a long drive! The Dollar General is close by and has all you'll need, though. There was also an odd smell in the bathroom - possibly cat urine - but Sally was very responsive and gave us instructions for cleaning the floor. I think that was an oversight on the part of the cleaning company rather than the owner. Overall, we were thrilled with our stay and had a lovely time.

We traveled as a family. 2 preteens and 1 dog. House was so nice, clean and right size for 4 people and a dog. Sally was a great host. She gave us all the info. So, my kids rented a bike, walked to the ice-cream place and enjoyed it everyday. Beach was so close by and huge. Yes, there is a dune part, but you can easily walk through. We walked our dog at the beach every morning. There are restaurants or little markets, very close by. Food Lion is 20 minutes drive. It is a very convenient and safe place. My kids had so much fun. They were so tired from swimming, riding a bike and walking to ice cream place. House has everything. Games for kids, books, cooking utensils. You need to bring your towels and bed sheets only. it was a home away from home. Special thanks to Sally. I wish I have a neighbor like her. She was very helpful. We will be back.

This was our second summer staying in this quaint little cottage. Perfect location, away from the chaos of the busier northern OBX. Sally is easy to communicate with via text, answering any questions promptly.

A wonderful house, perfect location to area attractions and beach. Very clean and neat. Would def. Recommend.

Visiting Sally’s cottage took us back in time. The decor, location, and screened front porch was nostalgic. Everyone in our small family took showers all week under the house in the outdoor shower and we found no issue having only one bathroom all week. It took us back in time. The kids rode scooters on the quiet street and enjoyed putting together a puzzle from the game chest. I will say - while this was a block off the beach… there is a slight “trek” through thicker dune sand to get to the beach. Our beach wagon wouldn’t work and we ended up taking less items (not a bad thing) to the beach. Our rule with the kids was - if you can’t carry it, it’s not coming to the beach. The wagon was pointless on that thick sand. But oh what a treat coming over that dune to a wide, beautiful private beach!!! It was awesome! Not crowded at all on July 4th - to give you an idea. And, the proximity of the house to the sound side beach access was very convenient. The kids loved swimming in the sound. If you are seeking an affordable, comfortable cottage in a quieter area with a wider, private beach - this is the spot!
