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 huge 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 roomy room is on the top floor. Working space is available with desk and chair. This bedroom has a sizable 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 cavernous 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 Kill Devil Hills vacation property experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are high season in Kill Devil Hills. To book the best vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Kill Devil Hills attractions and restaurants.
• The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Kill Devil Hills visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to select the best rental home in the Kill Devil Hills area:

• Begin by choosing potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Close to Beach-\"The Salty Soul\", Bring Your Flip Flops, New Cottage, circa 2022 has 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the host before booking your home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what configuration is right for your vacation family.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.

During your stay:

• Get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your . Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of issues.
• Be respectful. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
