The Salty Swan is a wonderful house, with all the amenities a family could want to thoroughly enjoy their OBX vacation. Nestled under the trees right next to the Sound, the osprey were in abundance and provided hours of entertainment, along with the pier and the walking trail along the Sound. The house was clean and well stocked, with everything you could want in the kitchen, lots of books and movies and games as well, and even beach towels were provided, a first for us! A putting green and foosball table kept our kids entertained nicely! It was not just a spartan rental beach house, it was a special place where you feel immediately at home. We highly recommend staying here.
