About this property

The Salty Soul is a cozy, bright, and cheerfully decorated cottage in the heart of the Outer Banks. Nestled between the highway (US 158) and beach road (NC 12) in Kill Devil Hills at MP 10, it is conveniently located to restaurants, shopping, mini golf, and more. Our cottage even backs up to Kill Devil Grill--one of the best restaurants on the beach!

Getting to the beach is easy with two nearby accesses...one at Lake Drive a little north, and a parking access at Eighth Street just a little south (still walkable, though). Or walk a footpath north of the cottage... about a 3 minute walk.

The Salty Soul is perfect for a couples retreat, small family, or a quiet friends weekend. The lower level (and entry area) of the cottage has a convenient heated and cooled room with washer and dryer, utility sink, extra refrigerator, and a private toilet. Upstairs features an open living room with a cozy deck overlooking a large fenced in backyard, kitchen & dining area, as well as a large ensuite bedroom that has a king size bed and a bathroom with double sinks, toilet, and a tub shower combo.

A queen size bed in a spacious room is on the top floor. Working space is available with desk and chair. This bedroom has a large full bathroom. There is also a sweet, cozy, private (3rd) bedroom with a full (double) size bed on this floor. These two bedrooms are joined by a roomy walk-in closet.

The outdoor space is spacious under the house, on the back deck, or in the fenced in yard area. You can enjoy eating outside, playing corn hole, or grilling out on the gas grill. After a long day at the beach, you can rinse off in the outdoor shower and relax by the fire pit with a cold drink in hand!

- You must be 26 or older to rent the home
- We have irrigation in the front and back yard, so please do not park on the grass

The perfect early season getaway

The Salty Soul will be “our” OBX home for as long as the hosts are willing to have us. (This is already our second visit!) It’s a beautiful home inside and out, close to the beach, shopping, and dining, and the perfect size for our family. We’ve done the “ginormous beach house with 5 families” thing and prefer this situation. The hosts are incredibly kind and responsive, and it’s a joy to care for their home for a few days while it cares for us. Do we like The Salty Soul? NO. WE LOVE IT. And we’re already planning our next visit.

Perfect House, Perfect Location!

The property was clean and felt new. The house had everything you needed for a weeks stay at the OBX. It was a very short walk to the beach and easy to carry your gear there. It is close to the museums, Bodie Lighthouse and short drive to Duck and Corolla. Plenty of stuff to do. We would definitely stay here again!

Trip to the Beach!

This was my first time using VRBO and I amazed at how easy booking our stay was. I am a planner and looked for weeks before selecting the Salty Soul for our weekend mini vacation. The owner contacted me directly upon booking the days selected and sent me a payment link to confirm our stay. 2 days prior to our arrival, I was emailed by the owner with procedures and information on our upcoming stay. The day of, I messaged the owner to let them know we were in route. I was told to let them know if we need anything and they would be of further assistance. When we arrived at the house, we were in awe of the location and the cleanliness of the home. The home had plenty of room for my family of 5. Everything was easy to access and information was readily available and noted in a binder. The owner left coffee, dishwashing powder, and detergent for us to use. All in all, beautiful home, great location, perfect vacation!
