Nostalgic Beach Cottage

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!

Amazing Journey

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.

Our Second Time Around

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!

About the host

Hosted by Sally

My husband and I live in the Shenandoah Valley in VA . Our family vacationed in Nags Head when I was little. In 1974 my parents built their own little cottage in Salvo on the next block from here. In 2017 this sweet cottage was for sale and we decided to buy our own. A dream come true.

Why they chose this property

This cottage is on a nice secluded and quiet court and a very short walk to the beach. It is the perfect size for a fun family vacation. You can ride your bikes or walk around the neighborhood. We ride our bikes to the stores that are close to the neighborhood.
