We are a family of four and absolutely loved the accommodations. Everyone had roomEnough to be, but close enough to be together, share our meals and lounge on the couch. Our daughter LOVED the loft area. Even though it is a walk to the beach people along the way are kind and welcoming. Aside from Salvo, if open to travel, I would also take the time to head south and hit Cape Point in Buxton. Excellent for shelling, shallow and softer ocean. Of course north to Nags Head is very tourist and activity heavy too. Again, if you want intimate and refined, this is the house for you, the decks were perfect to wake up and end your days. ThankYou Rose for excellent accommodations!

Loved our stay, the perfect beach house!! We spent 3 nights and regretted having not planned a longer trip! It’s in a great location just a short walk to the beach, and also walking distance to ice cream, a market, and more. Rose was an amazing host, she made the check in/out process very smooth and is so sweet! I was very impressed with how clean the home was as well, I would definitely recommend booking here with Rose for your next trip, 10/10 experience! My favorite space was the screen porch!
