About this property

Small But Very Open Family Friendly Home With A Beautiful Private Pool

Beautiful and well maintained home (owners still vacation every year at this home). The kitchen, dining and living rooms are all open and connected to promote hanging out together. One bedroom and bathroom are also located on the first floor. Second floor contains two bedrooms with connecting bathroom and a loft. Two large decks to relax on. Watch sunsets over the sound from the upper deck. Screened in porch next to kitchen to enjoy al fresco dining. Beautiful private salt water pool with custom tiles. The pool is unheated and is only open from May to September. Full steps run the length of the shallow end for children. There is a security fence around the pool to protect the little ones.

Home Away from Home

Every other review was spot on! Truly the perfect spot for our family of 4 great communal spaces, inside & out. Kitchen had all the essentials, and the beach was a hop, skip & jump away. Rita was very courteous, answering my questions in a timely fashion, and we are thankful for our time spent here.

Great getaway

We love the Salvo area for its quiet seclusion. The walk to the beach is so easy, and the dunes are fairly mild. We could not below clean the house was when we arrived. Plenty of room for 2 adults and 3 children. The pool was fantastic!

Lovely quiet beach house

We stayed at Rita's house for 5 nights this summer. The location was close to beach access and the pool was well maintained and private. We enjoyed the quaint and thoughtfully curated pictures and art displayed throughout the house as well. Would absolutely go back!

Great location, close to beach

House was true to pics. Close walk to beach, pool was perfect and felt great in the heat of day. Comfy home and had everything we needed for a quiet week away on vacation. Bike ride to ice cream, far away from traffic and crowds. Loved our week here! Highly recommend!

Adventures in Salvo

We can't say enough good things about the location in relation to the beach, the house accommodations, and having the pool. This was an amazing experience! The house had everything we needed, we grilled and ate at the house mostly- so we ordered food from Food Lion in Avon, which was about 20 minutes away(also a great little town to check out). The short walk to the beach was easy enough- we had an 11, 8 and 6 year old and unless it was super hot, they all traversed the dune path with ease. Beds were super comfortable, and lots of space! We loved the attached deck off the master bedroom. The beach items/gear were great and although we didn't use the bikes- having them there was a great option had we decided to take a tour of the area. Host was responsive and answered any questions we had, as well as getting us checked in a bit early after it was ready of course, after our overnight 18 hour drive. If we ever return to the area and have a large group- we would stay here again! 5 stars!

Fun vacation

We had a great time at this house. Our kids loved the pool and riding our bikes in the quiet neighborhood in the evenings. My only small issue is that the curtains/blinds in the bedrooms had virtually no shading from the sun, so our kids were getting up earlier than normal with the sunrise.

OBX Vacation House

This house was a solid choice. It had everything we needed for a comfortable and CLEAN stay. The house has an open floor plan so it felt spacious enough for 6 adults (2 parents and 4 young adults ages 18-22). The beds are comfortable and the pillows were supportive. All of the windows have light filtering shades instead of blinds so they don’t block much light. We didn’t mind but it might be an issue for anyone that likes their room to stay somewhat dark during the early morning hours. The pool goes to about 5 - 5.5 ft deep and is a decent size with plenty of seating area around it. The beach is a short walk from the house which is a plus. I would highly recommend this house for a family looking for a clean, comfortable, and convenient place to stay.

Great little place in Salvo

We really enjoyed our time staying here. It's a nice little home in a good area. Beach is about a 3 minute walk away. The house is well kept and decorated with tasteful artwork. It had plenty of room for my family of 5. Having the pool was a big hit with our kids and gave them something to do while we were letting our youngest take her afternoon nap. The only complaint I would have about our stay is that towels aren't provided, which meant packing an additional full suitcase of towels. There is an agency in the area that rents towels and such for your stay but it is so expensive you'd be better off just buying cheap ones at a local Walmart or TJ Maxx in OBX and trashing them when you leave if you aren't wanting to lug them back home. Towel situation aside, we really enjoyed our stay and would love to come again.

Average stay

I understand most houses in the beach is old, but this was out dated! Rust n stains at many places. Pots were pretty old. Drainage was slow. Cracks on most of the screens, a few on the cabinets, n microwave door handle was loose on one end. I had to notify the landlord before I was gonna be charged for these. Pool was nice n cold, only plus.

First time in OBX; we loved it

We loved this house. It was perfect for us (4 boys ages 7, 5, 3, and 1 as well as one set of in-laws). The layout felt spacious, and it was great to have our little family upstairs sharing a bathroom and the in-laws downstairs. It was about 5-7 min walk to the beach which our children could do (except the almost 2 year old), and the house came equipped with boogie boards, beach chairs, and beach toys. We just loved our stay. The pool was such a nice break from the sand. The property is obviously very well cared for, and it is apparent that it is still used by the owner. It was so helpful to have a small grocery store with the necessities 3 min driving away. We loved the quiet town and the quiet beach! Perfect for families. My one negative was that on our last night, we did see a cockroach scurrying across the deck, but no signs of infestation within the house, which did seem clean.

Great house in the OBX for a family!

This house is perfect for a large family or 2 smaller families. Great beach house a block from the beach. Owner was very responsive and helpful. The area is beautiful and there is everything that you expect around to have a great vacation. We will be coming back.

Family Friendly Salvo Home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Rita's Salvo home. It's very well maintained, has all the amenities, and is located close to the beach as well as the many shops and restaurants in Salvo, Waves, and Rodanthe. The pool provides a respite from warm summer days. I high recommend it for a vacation spot along the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.

Perfect Family Getaway

From the time we entered the home to the time we left, everything was perfect. Unfortunately this property is already booked for next summer because we considered coming back next year. There was a grill that we used everything night which was great. There is a basketball hoop, but no ball, so if you want to play bring one with you! The private pool is amazing!!!!! We really enjoyed our stay!

Still love salvo

We have vacationed here for four years. It’s never a disappointment! We love the location, the pool, everything! We hope to continue our yearly tradition. Waves is an excellent place for sandwiches, the staff is always friendly. The house is a short walk to the beach. The pool is quiet. We couldn’t ask for more.
