Spend a luxurious week enjoying the beach, watching the wild horses graze and relaxing to the sound of the pounding surf from the well-appointed accommodations of 'Salted Dunes'.
Starlink Internet Always arrive before dark because the beach is more difficult to navigate at night. We recommend lowering your tire pressure to 15-20 psi so bring a tire pressure gauge along. Tires can be re-inflated at any of the area gas stations or the county put in FREE air stations at the Historic Corolla Park, 1100 Club Road, Corolla. The Park is on the sound side of the road. Turn in at the park road, make a right at the stop sign and another quick right into the gravel parking lot. The air up stations will be at the end of the lot. Check area tide charts prior to arrival. Low tide is ideal for beach driving. Follow all posted speed limits (35 mph or 15 mph when within 300 feet of pedestrians or wild horses). Drive on the hard-packed sand near the edge of the water or close to the dunes. Leave the middle of the beach available for parked vehicles. Drivers must be 16 years of age and possess a valid driver’s license. ATVs are not permitted. Also, Currituck County does not allow personal motorized watercraft on the ocean. Jet skis and personal motorboats are allowed on the Currituck Sound. The closest boat ramp is located at the Whalehead Club in Corolla. Due to shallow water and grass, this ramp is suitable for small craft only.

Beautiful views, nice home
The setting is quite beautiful. We had zero issue getting there and back daily. The first level- there’s a door that was just standing- not actually hanging. Downstairs fridge leaks, tv didn’t work in a few rooms. For me the worst part was the hot water situation- there isn’t enough to go around. When the water is used on other floors no water will come out of the faucet on the 3rd floor. The water also comes out with a lot of sediment. Everything was in ok condition- otherwise. We woke up to horses several mornings.

Summer Vacation
We found the home clean, comfortable and generally as advertised. There were nine of us so the layout and bed to bath configuration suited our needs well. The owners were easy to deal with and responsive to the couple of minor issues we encountered while at Salted Dunes. The only negatives we experienced was the water pressure was insufficient to support much more than one consumer at a time. We were aware of the water quality issue (very rusty) before renting the property so that came as no surprise but a negative all the same. We suspect that this is a local water quality issue that the other homes in this area suffer from and not isolated to this one residence. Overall, our family enjoyed the beach; the horses and magnificent views of the Atlantic Ocean sun rises and sunsets. Would recommend this to any family looking for a tranquil vacation spot but be prepared for traversing the beach access and dealing the water issues and you will enjoy your stay.

A perfect friend’s gathering for a week of celebration! The house was exactly as described online. The kitchen was stocked well with appliances and cooking tools! Bedrooms were all a great size and beds were comfy! We had no issues with the water. Loved the deck and enjoyed sitting on the deck on top of the dune!

Awesome house!
The house itself was very spacious and accommodating! The location was great, as it was right on the beach, just a very short walk over the dunes. It was so nice have our own pool right on the property. The downfall of the house is that it wasn’t very well cleaned. We arrived to a dishwasher full of the past guests dishes, along with the washer and dryer full of the past guests towels. The house was pretty dirty overall- bugs squished on the walls, couches caked with filth under the cushions, fridge dirty, etc. At the end of our stay we were instructed to remove the sheets from our beds and place by the washer but not the blanket or pillow shams, which to me implies they do not get washed regularly between guests. Just not what you expect when paying this kind of price. There was also very low water pressure, as only one person could shower at a time (although there was 6 showers). And at times there wasn’t enough water pressure to use any of the sinks or wash laundry. This could just be from being in the location it is though. Overall would rent there again if the cleaning was stepped up a notch! Owners were very pleasant and easy to communicate with.

Great Location, But Beware of Water Issues
We recently stayed at this beach rental and were excited about its prime location, which is undoubtedly its best feature. However, our experience was marred by several significant issues.
First and foremost, the water system had severe rust issues, which we discovered when our laundry came out stained with an orange hue. This problem extended beyond just the washing machine; even our swimwear was affected after being worn in the pool. The owner did send maintenance to address the issue promptly and provided a partial refund for the ruined items, which we appreciated. However, the compensation was minimal, and the owner’s dismissive attitude and lack of empathy left a sour taste.
The owner suggested that sunscreen interacting with the water was the cause, which implies future renters should avoid using sunscreen to prevent damage—an impractical expectation at a beach property.
Additionally, we encountered several other issues:
The cleanliness of the floors was questionable, leaving our bare feet dirty.
About half of the outlets did not work.
A light fixture was hanging from the ceiling in one bathroom.
While we managed to overlook these problems and enjoy the beach, the overall experience with the property and more so the host was disappointing.
I would advise future renters to be cautious, especially with laundry and swimwear. In other reviews, cleanliness seems to be a problem so perhaps a new cleaning company should be utilized.

Awesome
We came on an extended family vacation (infant, parents, cousins, grandparents). The house had everything we needed, aside from some kitchen basics (salt, pepper, oil) but we were able to easily purchase those at the food lion. We had plenty of space for everyone. The beds were comfortable and the view was amazing.
It was a short drive up the beach and the beach parking was always available close to the house. The parking passes made it very convenient to bring our gear back and forth to the beach. On the choppier/windier days, lounging by the pool was perfect.
As we only had 1 4x4 vehicle, it made for a few trips up and down the beach. I would highly recommend a thorough shopping trip on the way in!
We will definitely be staying again!

Awesome oceanfront house - great for a big group!
There is plenty of room in this house for several families to have a fantastic week. We drove onto the beach in the morning and set up tents but we could easily walk back and forth over the dunes throughout the day for potty breaks or lunch. The pool was perfect. We loved the hot tub. We ran into a few small things but the property manager was very quick to respond and remedy anything that came up! Definitely recommend!

Awesome stay in the OBX
This was our first time to stay on the 4x4 beach. It was an amazing place and the house was perfect for our needs. There were a few little things in that there were items left by the previous clients, dirty beach towel, empty boxes in the hallway downstairs, and items left in the refrigerators. These were all very minor issues and overall, the house was extremely comfortable and worked very well for our family. We had 13 people with 7 children aged 2 months to 14 years old and there was plenty of space for everyone. The house offers incredible views and the lookout spot on the dune was perfect for family photos. The owner did an exceptional job of getting back with me quickly when we had questions. They seem to be freshening up everything on site and it shows. I would highly recommend this property and this owner. Thanks for a great vacation!

Amazing views with horses, too!
The property was amazing, and we saw horses every day. We watched the sun rise every morning from our bedroom balcony. The pool was very clean and comfortable. The host was great to deal with, very communicative, and she resolved a few issues we had with the iron in the water. She went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied.
We did not read the listing as carefully as we should have, and found that several amenities were lacking (kitchen towels, trash bags, paper towels). Bring your own frying pans, spices, dish detergent (including dishwasher), and a towel or mat for drying. Otherwise, the kitchen was exceptionally well stocked.
The beach was very nice, but heed the warnings about 4-wheel drive, and make sure to air down your tires as suggested. The drive in (on the beach) was soft-packed and difficult to traverse, especially at high tide, or after dark. We saw several people get stuck. This limited our willingness and ability to go into town.
We had a wonderful vacation at Salted Dunes!

Great location, house was perfect for large families to stay together. A little disappointed in the cleanliness upon arrival, notified the owner, felt like she was more defensive than considerate regarding us making her aware.
