Welcome to 'Lightly Salted', one of Swan Beach's finest homes perched against oceanfront dunes of the wild and beautiful Outer Banks of North Carolina. This home boasts views of blue-green waves, bubbling white surf, and wide, sandy, wheat toned beaches as far as the eye can see. The enchantment begins as soon as your 4x4 vehicle leaves the pavement to drive right on the sand, only a few feet from the roar of the surf.

All newly updated roku smart tvs , bring your own passwords to utilize the streaming apps (YouTube tv, Hulu, Netflix, etc). Outdoor picnic seating area with large hot tub and a charcoal grill. The ground floor half bath and second floor mini fridge make poolside entertainment a breeze. Hop out of the pool and walk 50 feet across the dune to the ocean!

The extremely well equipped kitchen has all stainless major appliances, cookware, utensils and small appliances. Brew your morning coffee in the Keurig, Mr Coffee and enjoy it while watching the waves from the screened porch just off the kitchen.

Sleep Number® beds with dual comfort controls are in 4 bedrooms: the third floor master king and three queens. The kid's room with two sets of bunkbeds.

POOL and HOT TUB are typically opened from MAY until end of SEPTEMBER. The pool is not heated.

Spend a luxurious week enjoying the beach, watching the wild horses graze and relaxing to the sound of the pounding surf from the well-appointed accommodations of 'Lightly Salted'.

Always arrive before dark because the beach is more difficult to navigate at night. We recommend lowering your tire pressure to 15-20 psi so bring a tire pressure gauge along. Tires can be re-inflated at any of the area gas stations or the county put in FREE air stations at the Historic Corolla Park, 1100 Club Road, Corolla. The Park is on the sound side of the road. Turn in at the park road, make a right at the stop sign and another quick right into the gravel parking lot. The air up stations will be at the end of the lot. Check area tide charts prior to arrival. Low tide is ideal for beach driving. Follow all posted speed limits (35 mph or 15 mph when within 300 feet of pedestrians or wild horses). Drive on the hard-packed sand near the edge of the water or close to the dunes. Leave the middle of the beach available for parked vehicles. Drivers must be 16 years of age and possess a valid driver’s license. ATVs are not permitted. Also, Currituck County does not allow personal motorized watercraft on the ocean. Jet skis and personal motorboats are allowed on the Currituck Sound. The closest boat ramp is located at the Whalehead Club in Corolla. Due to shallow water and grass, this ramp is suitable for small craft only. For more information regarding Currituck County's rules and regulations, please contact the Currituck County Chamber of Commerce.

Oasis on the Shore
Lightly Salted is a great house in a great location that gave us the solitude on the coast we were seeking. The house provided unobstructed views up and down the beach with the roar of the surf loud and clear on the decks. We were looking to avoid large crowds of beach goers, and the beach was mostly ours alone when we ventured out looking for shells and shore birds. The sun rises on the last few days were spectacular! The owners installed a brand new refrigerator with icemaker for the kitchen on the day of arrival. The unit was clean, and we have no complaints with any of the other appliances or furniture. The owners were very responsive and even helped me get our Jeep unstuck from sand during our worst weather day (without us asking)! Overall an outstanding experience, and we look forward to returning for our next Outer Banks vacation.

Wild Horse Dream
Great property, salty air is definitely hard on a home, but the owner has done a nice job of making it feel like home. Decor was lovely and well thought out. I feel that some people who have previously rented the property have not treated it with care. That’s a shame that people don’t take care of someone’s rental home as they would their own. The pool is nice, the hot tub is good but needs a new cover. All in all we were happy. Would rent again.

Perfect Location!
Our host was accommodative and was always easy to get ahold of. The house was awesome and big enough for our family and friends. We enjoyed the drive on the beach to get there and the amazing views. The pool and hot tub were a must for our kids and they enjoyed it. The horses came up to the house a few times and were usually in sight all week . The only negative thing to say was the sleep number beds were uncomfortable but that’s a personal preference. We had the best time at Lightly Salted and made many good memories.

Loved the location
Loved the remoteness, beach access, pool. Beautiful views. Perfect weather Horses came for a visit once and stayed around the house for quite a while. Kitchen well stocked Ice maker was broken, but host refunded cost of buying bags Only downside to trip was highway 12 traffic- plan to come and go with consideration to avoid peak travel times. Would be the only reason why would not visit again during the summer season

Adventure - not for everyone
Loved the remoteness of the property, the horses, the beach was beautiful, but not prepared for what was required to travel on the beach without a lot of anxiety. Getting to the beach through the sand requires being in pretty good shape and agile. First impression of the house when we arrived was disappointing, but it grew on us. It's a lot of money to rent to not have the basic amenities provided or be in better shape.
