About this property

Book early for spring & summer! Excellent reviews!

  • Welcome to the Salt Box located in the desired location at MP6 in Kill Devil Hills, NC. We fell in love with the Outer Banks as children and later fell in love with each other here. We were married on the beach just beside Nags Head fishing pier. This is our favorite place to be and we feel certain you will agree after spending your vacation in our beach cottage. We set our cottage up with all of our favorite things we have enjoyed over our years of visiting the Outer Banks. Our home is one block from gorgeous sunsets on the Albermarle sound and a short drive to free beach access. A public boat landing is within walking distance for the boat owner who desires to fish on the water. The Avalon Fishing Pier is only a 5 minute drive away.
    After a great day on the beach, come and enjoy an outdoor shower and take a nap in the hammock or read a good book on the deck. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking meals at home and there is also a gas grill for your use. Staying at the Salt Box will provide you with all you need to make a memorable vacation with your family and friends. Our cottage has 3 BR and 2 BA, kitchen with bar area as well as an eat in kitchen. The living room provides a 55 inch flat screened TV with smart tv functionality, along with a Wii and plenty of video games and movies. The master bedroom has a King size bed and an attached full bathroom along with a flat screen TV, the second room has a Queen bed and smart TV and the third room has a bunk bed with a full on the bottom and twin on top and a flat screen TV/DVD player. Linens and towels are provided but we do recommend you bring your own beach towels. There is a washing machine and dryer in the utility room downstairs. We offer four bikes for riding on the bike trail along the sound side. The back yard is perfect for a game of corn hole (set in laundry room) or for the kids to play.

    We do not accept pets. Guests must be at least 25 years of age or a family, this home is not suited for parties. The neighbors are permanent residents and we respect them. The front door has a blink doorbell camera for outside surveillance and safety.

Excellent in all ways. Great location. Comfortable beds, plenty of space and seating. Also, the decor was spot on. We really enjoyed the home and would definitely rent again. Owner is very responsive to messages. We had zero issues with our stay. We were a four generation group from 80 years to 9 years old and there was something for everyone to enjoy. This was my third trip to OBX and hands down the best rental. Made the rest of the trip more fun because the house had everything we needed. Thank you, Cheryl, for providing such a welcoming place.

We enjoyed our stay at this home so much. It was a great size for our family. It was beautifully decorated and comfortable. It was close to the sound and not that far from the beach. We loved being close to mini golf and the Wright Bros memorial. We will be returning!!

The Property and neighborhood are so beautiful, the house was very clean, comfortable, and we absolutely loved the decor. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating.

Outstanding OBX Experience

This cozy, clean house was perfect for my family's stay in the Outer Banks! It's just a walk or bike away from boat dock and short drive to beach access, as well as a ton of fun things to do in area! The property manager was great about communicating details as well.

Quick Visit to OBX

Loved the location of this property! We spent 2.5 days in OBX and this was a great spot to hit many of the local attractions. Great backyard for playing catch or just running around with kids. The bike trail is also one block away and we loved being able to take a bike ride to get some ice cream!

Wonderful cottage - great location! Nice hosts!

The Saltbox was one of the cleanest places (including hotels) we have ever had the pleasure of staying in. The location is ideal - the bay is short walk away and ocean only a 3 minute car ride the opposite direction. Cheryl was a delight to work withk - very clear communication. Even with negotiating a day of heavy rain from Idalia our stay was a delight!

Restful and quiet stay on the sound

This is one of the best properties I’ve stayed in at OBX. The house was so clean and welcoming for guests. My husband and I stayed 11 nights and our daughter and three kids visited for a couple of days. The neighborhood was quiet and neighbors so kind. They offered to help us with anything we needed. The walking paths and easy access to grocery and shopping was nice. We found a close easy beach access. All in all a fabulous trip for us! Just what we both needed! Thank you for being such a wonderful host!

Perfect little vacation home!

Exceptionally clean, affordable, and the furniture was perfect for older generation. Furniture style is first thing I look at when booking, along with reviews. If the chairs are the high bar style chairs for dining, or deep, hard to get in and out of living room furniture, or modern and uncomfortable looking, I always pass no matter the reviews. It seems that younger people that rent out to folks do not consider "comfort" with the wrong furniture. Our rental was PERFECT for comfort!!!!! You could relax in the living room and the dining set had "normal" seating. The house is in a super quiet location! The owner is awesome for contacting, super quick response!
