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!
Our first trip to the Outer banks was an amazing journey. The cottage was everything described in the listing and so very cozy. Just the right amount of everything for the two of us. Everything was so well organized. The beds were comfortable. The community was quiet and welcoming. The beach was perfect. Sally was exceptional, 10 out of 5 stars. We needed to extend our stay due to car trouble. She worked with VRBO to make it happen, recommended resources to contact and kept us informed to conditions on Hwy 12 due to stormy weather. What could have been a nightmare was a memorable experience thanks to Sally. We explored both ends of the islands. It was everything we hoped for and more. We're already planning our next trip. Carol
We had a much needed relaxing week in Salvo with our dog.Sally was very nice and communicative with us.The extra dog leashes were a special touch when taking the baby out to the beach.The neighborhood was very nice and quiet.The hot water in the shower outside was very appreciated by us and the furrbaby coming off the beach.We had a nice visit at the neighborhood ice cream shop.All in all a great pleasant trip.
The property is clean, private, attractive, and a short walk to the beach. The neighborhood is peaceful and located in a beautiful part of the Outer Banks. The host is very nice and very responsive. Overall a wonderful experience!
We loved this place so much we came back! It is absolutely perfect for a couple to get away and bring their furry friend ?The cottage is a perfect size, the neighborhood is friendly and quiet, and the beach is just a few minutes away. My favorite thing about the place is still the wonderful outdoor shower with hot water. It makes getting all the sand off a MUCH more pleasant experience. The owner rocks, too. Promptly answered all our questions. We would stay here again!
Words can't describe how this trip made me feel. Perfect homie spot, a home away from home. Perfect for me and my small family (wife and toddler). The beaches were clean and not crowded. The shallow water on the side of island was perfect for baby girl to learn how to work in the water. Just overall couldn't have been happier. And Sally was absolutely wonderful to work with leading up to the day we left and anything we needed. Highly recommend.
Wonderful!
Great location, short walk to the beach. The property was perfect fort husband and I. The host was very helpful with providing information prior to our trip to prepare us for our stay. Would definitely stay again.
Our second time staying at this property and just as great as first. Love the location and the “quietness”. Close to beach and short walk to ice cream shop which we used regularly. Can’t wait to return next year. Sally was great and checked in on us to make sure all was well. Would definitely recommend this place for a family of 4 and a dog.
My family stayed at Sally’s cottage for the week. It was a relaxing cottage with comfortable beds, close to the beach on a quiet dead end street. It is the perfect place for a small family to relax, spend time at the beach. The outside shower at the property comes in handy with great water pressure. The neighborhood is quiet and the beach wasn’t crowded at all. From the start of the rental to the end Sally was in communication offering advise with things to do and letting us know that she was there is we need her. We will definitely rent from Sally again.
We loved staying in this cute beach house! It had everything we needed and more. The screened-in porch was a big hit with kids and dogs, and the outdoor shower was so handy to have for after the beach. The beds were SO COMFY- even the kid beds! The kitchen had everything we needed, and the stacked washer/dryer combo was very convenient. We were able to walk to the beach in five minutes with the kids which was great. The neighborhood is quiet and close to all the amenities. The yard is very big and was perfect for our dogs. There was no dog poop in the yard when we arrived, which was terrific because we have stayed at places where you have to pick up all the old dog poop left over from the previous person, which is such a hassle. Great yard for dogs!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sea Horse Cottage!
My family and I have stayed in the Salvo area for the last 8 years and picked this little gem this summer. The host was lovely and very responsive, and the house is as described. It's small, but the main area has vaulted ceilings that give it the feel of a much bigger space. For anyone thinking of trying the Salvo area for the first time, the beach access is very close by (the street is actually in between two nearby access points), but the walk through the dunes can be strenuous. We're used to it, but just something to keep in mind if you have anyone in your party that has trouble getting around. The uncrowded and beautiful beach is absolutely worth the extra effort!
My husband, our dog Cole, and I had the best time ever at the Seahorse Cottage. Sally was wonderful at making sure we had a great stay at the cottage.
We loved staying at this cottage, it was my wife and I, and our two toddlers. Very quiet neighborhood, with very little traffic. The beach here is amazing, and was not crowded at all. We loved using the brand new charcoal grill at the cottage. The large screened in porch was awesome. We can’t wait to go back!
My fiancé and I took our 10 week old baby girl on her first vacation to the Outerbanks and we are so glad that we found Sally’s place. The house was perfect for the 3 of us and our old dog. The place was clean, cozy and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Our dog loved romping around the yard! The rooftop deck was an amazing spot to watch the sunset and we loved the screened in porch during the only thunderstorm we got all week! Sally was wonderful at communicating - she even let us know that her cleaners would be finished up early and we’d be able to get in a little earlier so we could plan our travel time. The next time we plan a trip to OBX we will definitely be hoping to stay in this little gem again!
I got to have mom and daughter bonding at this beach house. Bicycle rental within walking distance.The cul-de-sac allowed my 2 dogs to not meet any other dogs when out on a short walk. No busy traffic, a quiet neighborhood, and very safe. The house was very nice with nice locked porch for doggies to rest on and sleep in the sun. The only downside is anywhere in Salvo the walk to the beach is a little longer, due to houses need to be protected by dunes. I loved the quietness of Salvo.
Cute little beach house near the kiteboarding spots. Super friendly owners and easy communication with them. Super helpful and a great little beach house out there in Salvo. Would definitely stay again☺️
