Very well setup and had everything you need. My family and I will stay there again.

Perfect for our family vacation. A good-sized house with just enough space. The house is well-equipped with everything you need. The kitchen was stocked with cookware and supplies, making it easy to prepare meals. The bedrooms were comfortable. Unfortunately, I missed the part about needing to bring our own bed sheets. For the most part, the house was clean and well-maintained, we did have several run-ins with cockroaches, but nothing terrible. One of the highlights that drew us to this beach house was the canal front. Kayaks and paddle boards were provided by the owner, and we had a lot of fun exploring the waterways. They had plenty of games to keep us occupied when we weren’t at the beach or paddling the canals.
The location was perfect for us. A nice quiet community just off the main road as you enter the Outer Banks. This made getting in and out of the area very convenient. A short drive to the beach with dedicated parking. I really liked the fact that we never had to hunt for a parking space.
The host was very responsive and accommodating. They were available to answer any questions we had during our stay. This beach house is perfect for families looking to relax and enjoy a stay at the Outer Banks. We had a great time and would consider staying here again. Highly recommend!

It is a lovely home. We very much enjoyed our stay And the neighborhood is quite peaceful. The owners are helpful and responsive. We especially enjoyed the fire pit in the back. We will certainly consider this property again the next time we head down there.
10.0 / 10.0
We stayed here with friends and extended family for a long weekend in OBX. Overall the house was great! Nice location close to lots of restaurants and great quiet little sound side location that was very convenient for launching the boat and kayaks. Loved that we could keep the boat tied up right to the dock at the house. The kitchen was well stocked with everything to cook. There’s a fun loft with twin beds and a TV with a Wii that looked so fun for a group of kids (we just had 1 child with us this time around). There were lots of thoughtful extras like beach parking passes, extra life jackets, bikes, etc.
A couple of things that are not at all negative but just good to know for future visitors- there are lots of stairs so this may not be the best for older visitors (grandpa and grandma got pretty worn out by the end of our visit); the driveway is fairly narrow and steep so if you bring a boat you won’t be getting it down the driveway, we recommend dropping it at the marina before you even get in the house; and you need to bring or rent your own towels and bedsheets, as an FYI for those coming from farther out of town.
Overall would recommend this house and location to anyone coming to OBX! We had a great stay!
8.0 / 10.0
We had a great stay. We loved the location, access to the canal for boating, open floor plan with windows, lots of comfortable beds, cool loft for kids, and beautiful kitchen. The only downside was that the house could have used a better deep cleaning - the bathrooms were a little mildewy, we found an empty liquor bottle under one of the bathroom sinks, and there were cobwebs here and there. Not a showstopper problem, though. We definitely recommend for other renters!

We loved our time in Kitty Hawk, the location is perfect for the beach and the kids loved hanging out at the bay.
The trails are perfect for running and cycling and the house is really comfortable and well equipped to cook and relax in the evening.
We had a fabulous vacation.

This property was perfect for our big family vacation. We had three families including four kids under nine. The property was very spacious and allowed for each family to have their own space. There was also plenty of activities at the house to keep everyone entertained. Our family really enjoyed taking the kayaks out in the evenings.

Fabulous house ! My husband has been bringing me to the beach (obx) since I had a cardiac arrest 7 years ago.This vacation with our three daughters and spouse plus 2 grandaughters was by far the best yet! So much to do at this house. We fished , kayaked, caught crabs and had enough for a boil . Just a relaxing not have to stress place .Just what we all have been needing .We ended ournight with a coue hands of UNO . We would definately love to come again .Best of everything all . We had brought spices and such but the home is absolutey prepared and ready for every need you may have while you can just enjoy .Thank you so very much for the use of your superb beachhouse! It is so well loved and I will cherish the memories we made there . Huge hugs from Ohio

Location was great, great beach access. Some problems with air conditioner but figured out the trick of shutting it off 4 hrs and can turn back on. It freezes. Not amused with bugs. Lots of space.

Wonderful location
We had such a great week here! The kitchen is amazingly well stocked. Plenty of room to spread out for personal space and large enough gathering space to all be together. The sand yard next to the canal is a great place to fish, or just relax and enjoy hanging out with family. We loved the kayaks and paddle boards. Such a peaceful setting- less of a touristy area (which we loved) but still close enough to enjoy tourist type activities. There's a great little beach nearby with free parking. Would definitely recommend this home

Great location with kids!
We had an amazing time at the house. It was clean and well stocked, though the basement bedroom is still a bit unfinished. Our kids were in heaven digging in our own “beach” and parents loved being able to supervise from the screen porch. It was convenient to everything, but we did go in spring so parking was easy. We even took the kids out in the kayaks to explore! Would definitely return.

Early spring stay
Very comfortable house with nice set-up. Beds were very comfortable. Kids really liked the beach-like back yard with lots of sand to play in. Back deck and yard are sunny throughout the day. Owners got right back to us when questions.

Fall Family Get Together
The Kitchen’s Salt House was an excellent find! It accommodated our group of 10 very comfortably and location and amenities were wonderful. Kids and adults all had a blast and we were able to enjoy quality family time together. The fire-pit, kayaking, fishing and beach yard on property were hits for all. Would definitely return and recommend.

House was FANTASTIC, but not exactly handicap accessible
This house was beautiful! So clean, and one of the most well stocked houses I have ever stayed in. The owners were FABULOUS, and answered questions quickly, and offered great suggestions for our stay. The property was so serene on the water. We had an amazing week visiting with our friends. We had a minor hiccup with the accessibility. We picked this property b/c we have a person in our traveling party in a wheelchair. I checked the handicap accessible search tab, and this property was included. I was concerned with the stairs and sleeping arrangements, but figured it would be ok once we got there. For a wheelchair to get into the main level, you need a ramp that starts 1/2 way up a steep driveway. On the main level, to get to the bathroom and bedrooms, there is a lip that a wheelchair could not maneuver over The only standup shower that doesn’t have a tub attached, is on the bottom level, use of stairs is needed. Fortunately, the person in our party that needed this accessibility, was a child. It was tiresome on his parents to carry him up and down, but they made it work. If this accessibility was needed for a full grown adult, it would have been a much larger challenge to overcome.
Overall, the house is fantastic! We really enjoyed our stay. If you need a true handicap assessable property, ask specific questions for your needs.

Great locations and lots of amenities
The location on the canal and access to the beach is great. Easy to avoid the heavily used main road. It's a quiet area with great outdoor space. The amenities are great - kayaks, paddle boards, bikes, outdoor games. The house can easily accomodate a lot of folks.

Vacation Review
The house was very well equipped with household items as well as outdoor items. It was also an excellent location and very easily accessible to stores, restaurants and many attractions including the beach. My whole family thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful!
Kim and Eddy were top notch, communicative and maintain a great, spacious, super convenient home. The kitchen was a great working kitchen and well stocked. For the size of the house there was plenty of communal and private space.
Situationally - Perfect!
My college friends and I rent a beach house for a week. The week before, two of us come down early and are looking for an intermediary house, sort of a primer. We were able to easily enjoy the homeyness of the house and the access to the sound. Beach access is super easy and the sound is right there (did I already say that?).
Pretty sure we’ll be contacting Eddy and Kimberly very soon about next year!

We really enjoyed our stay at this home. It has almost everything you could need. Our extended family enjoyed hanging out in the great room and by the fire pit. There house us stocked with beach chairs, paddle boards and ocean kayaks, sand toys, corn hole, and in the kitchen there are seasonings you might not have brought from home. The beds are comfortable but the platform beds are low to the floor. We had fun with the games and puzzles. I went out on the paddle board a few times, the step-down at the pier was convenient for getting in and off the board. The drive to the beach was short and we never had and trouble finding parking. We would return.

Lovely time
Perfect property for our family and children -- so many small touches added up to a memorable experience. It was particularly important for us to find a great house given that the weather this time of the year is unpredictable, and this fit the bill perfectly. The "back yard" was amazing for our kids.

Family vacation
This property is amazing! We had a fire every night in the fire pit, kayaked every day, spent an entire day at the beach and enjoyed wonderful breakfasts cooked on the efficient gas stove top. The kitchen was very well stocked & all the beds were comfortable. The kids enjoyed fishing & playing the Wii. I have 1 cautionary comment about wheelchair accessibility...My sister is in a wheelchair completely-cannot walk at all-and while we WERE able to get her in and out of the main level of the house, it was a bit difficult getting her down the dirt path that led to the front deck (which only had one stair which was good). Overall excellent time!

Great Location!
We enjoyed the location and will plan to stay in Southern Shores again as you can avoid the OBX traffic for the most part.
The kitchen in this house is wonderful and we loved the uniqueness of the house layout. There was plenty of room. We also loved the canal view and outdoor space for activities.
We will try to return if the place is available for our next trip.

Fabulous OBX Stay
Had a wonderful time at the Salt House. It was a perfect fit for our family. The space is beautiful and the house sits in a beautiful neighborhood just minutes from southern shores beaches. Our kids love fishing in the canals and using the great kayaks and paddleboards. Looking forward to visiting again!
