Idle Minds 84

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Tucked away on Colony Drive in Salvo, this cozy oceanfront cottage will truly put your mind at ease. Simple yet sophisticated, Idle Minds offers three bedrooms and two baths, ocean views, and charming interior design.

An outdoor shower comes in handy for a quick rinse after a trip to the beach, and a charcoal grill off the back deck where everyone hangs out makes cooking out fun. There are two entry points to this cottage: one in the front, and one in the back. The front stairs lead up to a sundeck that overhangs the drive, and the back stairs lead up to a larger sundeck with a picnic table and hot tub.

As you enter the home from the front, you might not make it past the first room as a huge couch, flatscreen TV, Blu-ray player, and surround sound make this a premier spot to flop down and lounge the day away. A slew of board games and movies put the icing on the entertainment cake for both kids and adults alike.

Moving into the living room, a high vaulted ceiling really opens the place up. A couple of comfy chairs are perfect for reading the morning paper in, and a lovely couch and coffee table are centered around a marvelous fireplace creating an intimate setting. Just off the living room, you will find a spacious bedroom with a king bed and flatscreen TV. There is a full bathroom next to this room that is accessible from the bedroom and the living room.

As you proceed to the back of the house, there is an eight-person dining room table that looks out toward the ocean through sliding glass doors. The kitchen has all matching appliances, including a cooktop stove on the island bar with bar stools, allowing you to socialize while you prepare meals. You'll find another four-people counter height table in the breakfast nook, and back entrance leading to the sundeck and carport.

Upstairs you'll find bedrooms two and three. The second bedroom has a pyramid-style bed and is connected to bedroom three by a bathroom with a jetted tub. Bedroom three is an open loft space with a king-size bed. There is a sitting area that overlooks the living room, and the bed is tucked away in the back. Off this room, there are sliding glass doors that provide access to a second-level deck. From this deck, you can walk up one more level to the crow's nest that offers amazing ocean views of the pristine Salvo beaches.

Nice Location and Modern Kitchen
We stayed here for two weeks in the spring. What we loved: Super easy access to the ocean, modern kitchen, great hot tub, quiet neighborhood, great sunning deck off the master bedroom. What we would change: Although the kitchen is modern, the rest of the house is pretty vintage 80's beach house. The windows were old and most are not functional so you are stuck just using the sliding doors if you want fresh air. Summary: Generally a good value rental and given the cleanliness and proximity to the beach we would stay here again.

Pluses and minuses
Hot tub one of the best I've ever been in. Huge and jets were powerful. Location very good. Easy walk to beach. Confusion about can you or can't you grill in backyard. Carpet needs replacing. Clean better or charge less cleaning fee. 75% of staying here again.

Great house!!
I would 100% stay here again!! It was clean, well stocked, perfect amount of space for us, and perfect location. There are only 3 things I would suggest; 1. the upstairs bedroom sliding glass door was difficult to open every time, 2. the clothes washer made very strange noises while running, and 3. maybe trim down some of the trees in the back so they don't cover up the view. Otherwise, it is a really great house!!
