SEMI-OCEANFRONT Steps to Beach! 3 Decks/Ocean Views. Delightful Family Fun!!!

Your family will love this beautifully updated one level Semi-Oceanfront cottage AND it's location in quiet South Nags Head near the 20.5 mile marker! Just one house back from the ocean, "Saltwater Cure" is only 70' to the beach (closer than many oceanfront homes). Enjoy outstanding views from plentiful, comfortable seating on each of the three decks, including the roof-top crow's nest. Quiet, beautiful beach! Located on a private, ocean side street (no roads to cross, no traffic - great for kids) with it's own private beach access. So close and convenient - it's not a chore to take all your gear to the beach!


"Saltwater Cure" is a true owner-managed property with lots of attention to detail that a commercial property does not have. Updated with granite counters and stainless appliances, it is a well-maintained, super clean cottage decorated with local artwork and furnished with a beautiful, coastal style. "Saltwater Cure" offers a one level, 3 bedroom, 2 full bath “H” PRIVACY floor plan (two bedrooms and bath on one side of the central living area, one bedroom and bath on the other side - a solid door keeps each "suite" separate from the living area). The large open great room provides a fun gathering space with its 14’ high wood-beamed planked ceilings. You'll enjoy comfortable dining for 4-6 at the convertible console/table and 5 stools at the granite kitchen counter.


Three bedrooms each have a queen bed and 32" wall mounted TV with Roku and Streaming Spectrum App.


Three large separate decks including a rooftop crow’s nest provide awesome ocean views. Sunrises and sunsets in all directions! Lots of seating for outdoor chillin’ and dining! There is a 6' picnic table with umbrella for family fun and dining on the large front deck. In addition, there is another hightop table with 6 more counter height chairs. Another table and four chairs plus two counter height adirondack chairs are on the shaded back deck. Additional ground level areas provide spaces for relaxing, rocking, swinging, playing, and parking. So many places to sit and relax! There is a large fish cleaning table for your fresh catch. Everyone loves the fully enclosed spacious outdoor shower with hot and cold water. It's the very best place to take your shower!


Convenient ground level storage room for beach toys and equipment. Feel free to enjoy whatever chairs, boogie boards, and other equipment that are in the closet!

Inside washer/dryer, central air/heat, microwave, 4 flat screen TV’s - 50” Smart TV in Living room, and 32” in each bedroom. RokuTV with Streaming Spectrum App and high speed wireless Internet, outdoor shower, charcoal grill, large fish cleaning table.




****PLEASE NOTE THAT LINENS (SHEETS AND TOWELS) ARE NOT INCLUDED - this is very customary in the Outer Banks. There will be clean Comforters, mattress pads, and pillows on each bed. Please bring your own Queen sheets, bath, and beach towels. Several local companies provide delivery and pick-up of linens and beach supplies. A few suggestions:
Ocean Atlantic Rentals, 252-441-7283
Just For the Beach, 252-441-6048
Moneysworth, 800-833-5233

****If you choose to order Linen delivery for the day prior to arrival, the house cleaner can make the beds for an additional charge of $10 per bed. Please inquire with the owner if you are interested in this service.

No roads to cross or thru-traffic means it’s safe and convenient for families with young children. At the end of the street, enjoy the multi-use path for biking and walking which extends for miles throughout Nags Head. Sea turtles nest most every year on the beach at the end of the street.

Escape the traffic, crowds, and noise to one of the best stretches of beach in the Outer Banks - away from all the hustle and bustle, yet close to all the fun! Highly desirable South Nags Head is a low density residential-only area that is enveloped by the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. With a great central location at MP 20.5, you’ll discover some of the best attractions the Outer Banks has to offer just minutes away. You can even bike to Outer Banks Fishing Pier and local favorite’s Fish Heads Bar and Grill with live music nightly! Just 4 miles north to shops, restaurants, and all the recreational activities you could ever want.

Very sorry, but no pets are allowed at this time.

Fantastic

Everything was as expected, and so easy to manage. The pictures online are exactly what to you get - step out the door and you are at the beach! A beautiful beach house that has ample space both indoors and outdoors. All the recommendations to support our trip (ie linens, grocery stores, things to do) were easy. The kids had so much fun - they have already asked to come back next year!

Excellent!

This property is even more than we hoped for! The beach really is only a few steps away. There is a view of the ocean from the deck and the crow’s nest. There are front and back decks with umbrellas and covered seating areas, all with many comfortable chairs. The “H” floor plan is fabulous for privacy. We enjoyed board games in the living room. The beach is quiet and not crowded. The house is very clean, and updated, and well maintained. The bedrooms are comfortable, and the kitchen is stocked with more dishes, pots, pans and utensils than I could ever use. The owner is very responsive, and took steps to make sure our check-in was smooth. The neighborhood is lovely and quiet and uncrowded. And the outdoor heated shower is amazing! This is such a lovely place to stay. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect for our family with teens!

House location was excellent; One house back with ocean view from two decks! Layout of rooms was the best we’ve ever had. Our two kids each had their own room and shared a hallway and bathroom. My wife and I had the “master” on the opposite side of the living room with our own hallway and bathroom. It was perfect!

Beautiful cottage with great location!

The cottage is located so close to everything! The beach is steps away and you have an amazing view from the crows nest. The house layout is fantastic with the living area in the middle and the kids had their own side of the house. Nags Head is located in the heart of so many activities to do in the Outer Banks, we were within minutes of restaurants, shopping, jet skiing and National Parks. The house was clean and comfortable. I would recommend Saltwater Cure to anyone looking for a great place to stay!!

Wonderful family beach vacation

This is one of the nicest rental homes we have ever stayed in: beautifully decorated, well stocked, and lots of personal touches. The location is right on the beach and close to great local spots. The views from the decks are perfect, and it’s a child-friendly home. Highly recommend.

Saltwater Cure

This vacation was the most stress free one we have had in a long time. Carolyn made the WHOLE process easy and accommodating. The house had literally everything you would need or want; kitchen appliances, fans for each room, etc. The house is actually way bigger in person, and has the absolute PERFECT views. This is the first vacation home we’ve stayed at that we truly felt at home, and for that reason, we will continue to book each year at Carolyn’s little slice of heaven; Saltwater Cure.

Great Experience!

From pre-booking to post-trip follow-up, Carolyn was great to deal with. She gave us great local info, answered our questions, and kept in touch. Her home was clean and well kept; both inside and outside. The kitchen was well stocked. A few things we enjoyed about the property were 1) Quiet neighborhood, 2) Multiple decks with ample seating for our party of five, 3) Beds were comfortable, 4) The outdoor shower with hot water. Carolyn, we hope we're well and look forward to visiting the Saltwater Cure in the future!

Extemporaneous respite required and fulfilled

I found myself in need of a quick last minute getaway and Saltwater Cure checked off all the boxes. The cottage is quaint and cozy with all the amenities you could ask for. Plenty of outdoor chilling spaces and the beach just footsteps away. Couldn't have asked for a better experience and everyone wants to come back again. The beach is pristine and not crowded at all. Definitely would recommend for a family or a few couples.

Perfect beach house with great location and close proximity to the sand/ocean. The house was far enough away from the main drag and highly congested areas of the island but close enough to be able to drive to those areas as needed. Would definitely go back!

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn B

Host profile image
I am local Outer Banks fine art photographer and retired NC Real Estate Broker. This is my year round home except for the summer months when I leave this perfect spot to travel around, visit family, or have a new adventure. A native North Carolinian, I have lived in many different states, but love my home here the best of all! Beachcombing and photographing the birds, boats, and beaches are what I love to do the most. I strive to ensure that my guests feel as much at home as I do and try to provide all the info they need to relax and have a wonderful family vacation here in the Outer Banks. I want them to enjoy my home and to love the area as much as I do!

Why they chose this property

This is the perfect spot for me. I rented this cottage 14 years ago for a month in the Fall. I came with my little dog and a sign that says "Saltwater Cures Anything". I was a new widow and was looking for a place to be happy for just a little bit. My family has vacationed in the Outer Banks all my life, so this seemed like the place to be. During the month I met some new friends and found a new way to be happy. After a few years of moving about to different cottages, this one came on the market and I snapped it up. You'll see the sign sitting on top of my kitchen cabinet ~ I love this place!

What makes this property unique

South Nags Head is the most relaxing area in the Outer Banks. Mostly just residential homes - some old, some new. I like my street and know most of the owners in the area. Our beach is so great for swimming, shelling, fishing, walking - whatever you want to do. Sunrises and sunsets are amazing. Sea Turtles come back each year to nest on our beach - hope you'll find one over the dune. The beach here changes daily and it's never dull. It's quiet with minimal foot and car traffic, yet close to all the super fun activities the Outer Banks has to offer. I hope you love it as much as I do!
