Great trip

The house and location are great. It was so relaxing to be so close to the ocean and the sound. Great views from both decks. Our family enjoyed our second stay here and hope for it to be available in future vacations

OBX Perfection!

My entire family enjoyed our stay immensely! This house suited us perfectly. It was spotlessly clean, nicely decorated, and very comfortable. Its location ar the southern end of Nags Head was perfect for our plans to explore the Outer Banks. Very easy access to the beach. We visited Roanoke, Hatteras, and Duck and loved it all! Would highly reccomend this property and it's hosts.

Nice beach home for our family

This is the 2nd time we’ve stayed at this house because our family said it was their favorite one we’ve stayed in. We like that it has a fully stocked kitchen, a nice hot tub, plenty of beds for everyone. Also, the little rooms to have some quiet time when needed. Oh, and so close to the beach with a buggy to load up and roll to the ocean. The hosts are real nice and helpful.

Salty Wahoo Aug 2024

What an incredible week! The Salty Wahoo was the perfect choice for our OBX getaway; it is both beautifully decorated and cozy. The perfect location in South Nags Head, close enough to make a grocery run but secluded enough that the beach was never crowded. It was so nice to be able to use the beach wagon which made transporting all the beach ‘necessities’ so much easier, as well as the extra chairs and large cooler. And of course the hot tub was a great way to unwind at the end of the day. It was absolutely perfect, and we look forward to returning!

Friends + Family Beach Vacation

Overall the house was in great condition, seems recently stylized, fresh, clean and current. The house was just the right size for 8 of us. Loved the front and back decks which got used every day depending on the breeze. Lots of different places to relax. Short walk to beach.

Nags Head Beach house

Lovely beach home. Plenty of space for all. Comfy beds, clean rooms, kitchen had everything we needed. Short walk to beach. Short drive to many attractions. We had children of varying ages and there were books, games, puzzles etc for each age group. Hot tub was perfect ending to each day. Really enjoyed our stay.

Oasis in OBX

We had a wonderful family trip at this beautiful home! The house is very well kept and the kitchen is incredibly well stocked with good pots, pans, etc. everything is labeled and very well organized! The house is super convenient to the beach and a short drive to grocery stores and restaurants. We will definitely be back! Thanks to Tommy and Danielle for being such gracious hosts!!

Nice area.

Did not really feel that the water was safe to go into because of the big drops. The beach was relatively nice, and the path to get there was easy to find. However they were some sand hills to climb and it was very close to a house that looked condemned.. was not easy for everyone in our party.

Sun and Fun at The Salty Wahoo

We had a great time on our family vacation! This was our first time in the Outer Banks and it did not disappoint. Weather was awesome! A peaceful and quiet location. Just a short walk to the beach and a close drive to restaurants, activities and sightseeing, etc. The house was roomy and had lots of amenities!! Good communication with the owners and an early check-in was definitely a plus! And a welcome gift too! What a wonderful time had by all! Thank you Tommy and Danielle!!

24-hour amazing views (+We brought too much stuff!)

One of my main goals for any beach vacation is to catch at least one sunrise and sunset. At the Salty Wahoo, we saw both—every day! Just go out on a deck and they’re right there for you. And the stargazing at night is phenomenal. This has to be the cleanest, best-stocked rental we have ever had the pleasure of visiting. We brought our usual armament of supplies because I didn’t trust the listing, but the owners thought of everything. No last-minute runs to the store needed. The only snafu we had was getting the grill to work. In all fairness, we shouldn’t have waited until the burgers were ready to go on to check it, and the owners were responsive when I messaged them about the problem. Thank you so much for providing a comfortable home base for a much-needed relaxing getaway.

Amazing Stay!

We had a wonderful stay at the salty Wahoo! The beach was super close and there was plenty of beach chairs and a wagon for us to transport everything there easily even with 4 kids in toe. Lovely to be able to see sunrise and sunset from the house and have multiple places to sit to get shade and sun. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed and more. We are already talking about returning next year!
