We love Salvo and have been staying there for years but always on the soundfront. This is a nice home as close to the beach as you can be without actually being on the oceanfront and we loved the easy access to the ocean. The interior is comfortable and the decks are nice for catching the breeze and enjoying a view of the ocean and (indirectly) the sunset on the sound. The pool is small but nice and our young ones loved it. The first floor bedrooms stayed a bit warm but there was plenty of room for my brother and his family there. Having the second kitchen was convenient. The third floor king and queen masters were very nice and accommodated my daughter and her family well. The configuration of the double double beds was not ideal for the rest of the family (prefer queen beds), but it was workable and we didn't spend much time in the bedrooms anyway. I realize it's late in the season but many of the lamps had no light bulbs so it was a little dark for working a puzzle or reading at night unless you were in the main living room. The kitchen was large and well-equipped and the dining room table easily accommodated the nine of us. The homeowner was wonderful to work with. I was excited about a 3pm check-in but the cleaners were there when we arrived and we weren't actually able to check in until 4. I'd double-check this in the future. Sweet Sands is a nice property in a great location. We had a very pleasant week and hope to return.
Sweet Sands was the perfect home for our 40th Anniversary Celebration. The location, house layout and pool gave us plenty of space and options for sleeping/playing for 6 adults and 6 children!
We have stayed in this house previously and it did not disappoint! The house is roomy enough for our large family and such a perfect location- with the beach, sound, and quiet area.
The place is suitable. The 20 stray cats in the bushes adjacent to the house are vile. Elba Morgan, property rep, is great to communicate with, very helpful
I can’t say enough about the space in the home! It’s a perfect setting for a large number of family and friends. The neighborhood is very quiet and friendly!
We are 4 families numbering 10 in all. This house gave us plenty of sleeping spaces and gathering areas. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. We loved the large dining table which sat 10 very comfortably. Internet and cell phone service worked fine with our numerous devices. We couldn't find the house information book, so we called the owner with a few questions. Elba was gracious and answered all our queries. The elevator was easy to operate and made moving in and out so much easier given the 3 levels. This house is well maintained and we highly recommend it if you are planning a trip to the Outer Banks.
This home is well designed for a large crowd; plenty of areas for gathering. Kitchen was well equipped and eating areas were great. Getting to the beach access (through the bushes) wasn’t bad;l, then we had access to a fantastic boardwalk. We would stay at Sweet Sands again!!!
Great home to accommodate large family gathering. We are return customers! Area is a quick walk to the beach--only negative is the amount of feral cats on the pathway--they do get into the trash cans!
Wonderful location with easy access to the beach. Nicely furnished, but the star was the kitchen which was amazingly outfitted with any type of pan or food prep items a gourmet could want.
The location was close to an awesome boardwalk over the sand dune. The main kitchen is on the 2nd floor - we loved it - so much more convenient. We would definitely rent it again.
