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

Getting to the beach is painless with two close by 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 bungalow... about a 3 min. walk.

The Salty Soul is ideal for a couples getaway, modest family, or a peaceful friends weekend. The lower level (and entry area) of the bungalow has a convenient heated and cooled room with washer and dryer, utility sink, additional refrigerator, and a private toilet. Upstairs features an open living room with a cozy deck overlooking a sizable fenced in backyard, kitchen & dining area, as well as a enormous 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 cavernous room is on the top floor. Working space is available with desk and chair. This bedroom has a huge full bathroom. Off this 2nd bedroom is a walk-through closet leading to the 3rd room that has the full size bed in it and a nightstand with light. Great for the snorer in the family or someone wanting privacy. This modest cozy room is best suited for kids or 1 adult.
Note: This 3rd room has no windows and accesses the bathroom through the 2nd bedroom.

The outdoor space is roomy under the home, on the back deck, or in the fenced in yard area. You can savor eating outside, playing corn hole, or grilling out on the gas grille. 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!

Finding the best Kill Devil Hills vacation property experience:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Kill Devil Hills area. Booking your Kill Devil Hills vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a great way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Kill Devil Hills visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain coupons for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to pick the best vacation home in the Kill Devil Hills area:

• To start, have your family agree to date ranges and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Close to Beach-\"The Salty Soul\", Bring Your Flip Flops, New Cottage, circa 2022 has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before reserving your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on good ratings to compel new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
