Quiet, well appointed get away!

My family loves coming to stay at the Kitchen's Salt House! The house has plenty of room to spread out and areas where it's easy to spend time together. We love the amenities like kayaks and paddle boards, fire pit, outside games, and board games. So many ways to have fun together!The house is easy to access, clean, and has a kitchen with all of the equipment you would need. The hosts are easy to work with and helpful. We had a great visit and look forward to returning. Thank you!

Perfect for our family vacation

Perfect for our family vacation. A good-sized house with just enough space. The house is well-equipped with everything you need. The kitchen was stocked with cookware and supplies, making it easy to prepare meals. The bedrooms were comfortable. Unfortunately, I missed the part about needing to bring our own bed sheets. For the most part, the house was clean and well-maintained, we did have several run-ins with cockroaches, but nothing terrible. One of the highlights that drew us to this beach house was the canal front. Kayaks and paddle boards were provided by the owner, and we had a lot of fun exploring the waterways. They had plenty of games to keep us occupied when we weren’t at the beach or paddling the canals. The location was perfect for us. A nice quiet community just off the main road as you enter the Outer Banks. This made getting in and out of the area very convenient. A short drive to the beach with dedicated parking. I really liked the fact that we never had to hunt for a parking space. The host was very responsive and accommodating. They were available to answer any questions we had during our stay. This beach house is perfect for families looking to relax and enjoy a stay at the Outer Banks. We had a great time and would consider staying here again. Highly recommend!

Fun beach house for big groups!

We stayed here with friends and extended family for a long weekend in OBX. Overall the house was great! Nice location close to lots of restaurants and great quiet little sound side location that was very convenient for launching the boat and kayaks. Loved that we could keep the boat tied up right to the dock at the house. The kitchen was well stocked with everything to cook. There’s a fun loft with twin beds and a TV with a Wii that looked so fun for a group of kids (we just had 1 child with us this time around). There were lots of thoughtful extras like beach parking passes, extra life jackets, bikes, etc. A couple of things that are not at all negative but just good to know for future visitors- there are lots of stairs so this may not be the best for older visitors (grandpa and grandma got pretty worn out by the end of our visit); the driveway is fairly narrow and steep so if you bring a boat you won’t be getting it down the driveway, we recommend dropping it at the marina before you even get in the house; and you need to bring or rent your own towels and bedsheets, as an FYI for those coming from farther out of town. Overall would recommend this house and location to anyone coming to OBX! We had a great stay!

Great place

We had a great stay. We loved the location, access to the canal for boating, open floor plan with windows, lots of comfortable beds, cool loft for kids, and beautiful kitchen. The only downside was that the house could have used a better deep cleaning - the bathrooms were a little mildewy, we found an empty liquor bottle under one of the bathroom sinks, and there were cobwebs here and there. Not a showstopper problem, though. We definitely recommend for other renters!

Fabulous location with lots to do

We loved our time in Kitty Hawk, the location is perfect for the beach and the kids loved hanging out at the bay. The trails are perfect for running and cycling and the house is really comfortable and well equipped to cook and relax in the evening. We had a fabulous vacation.

Perfect vacation spot

This property was perfect for our big family vacation. We had three families including four kids under nine. The property was very spacious and allowed for each family to have their own space. There was also plenty of activities at the house to keep everyone entertained. Our family really enjoyed taking the kayaks out in the evenings.

Location was great, great beach access. Some problems with air conditioner but figured out the trick of shutting it off 4 hrs and can turn back on. It freezes. Not amused with bugs. Lots of space.

Wonderful location

We had such a great week here! The kitchen is amazingly well stocked. Plenty of room to spread out for personal space and large enough gathering space to all be together. The sand yard next to the canal is a great place to fish, or just relax and enjoy hanging out with family. We loved the kayaks and paddle boards. Such a peaceful setting- less of a touristy area (which we loved) but still close enough to enjoy tourist type activities. There's a great little beach nearby with free parking. Would definitely recommend this home

Great location with kids!

We had an amazing time at the house. It was clean and well stocked, though the basement bedroom is still a bit unfinished. Our kids were in heaven digging in our own “beach” and parents loved being able to supervise from the screen porch. It was convenient to everything, but we did go in spring so parking was easy. We even took the kids out in the kayaks to explore! Would definitely return.
