About this Property

• Approximately 1600 square feet

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 simple 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 enormous fenced in backyard, kitchen & dining area, as well as a sizable 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!

Tips to get the very best vacation property experience:

Getting the best value:

• To book the best rental home within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Kill Devil Hills restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many property management companies supply Kill Devil Hills area visitors guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing the best rental:

• Begin by selecting your a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Close to Beach-\"The Salty Soul\", Bring Your Flip Flops, New Cottage, circa 2022 has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before you book your home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine which bed configuration is optimal for your trip.
• If there's a certain Kill Devil Hills beach you long to visit, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.

More considerations:

• Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Document any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a great vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
