Perfect little spot close to the beach for our weekend stay. Very clean. Host promptly called us to address a mix-up in VRBO's automated check-in instructions. Really enjoyed staying in Salty Cabana and getting several beach walks in every day.

My only complaint was the bedroom air conditioner light was sooooo bright. Maybe it’s just us, but we like it very dark when we sleep. We “fixed” the issue by taping a piece of dark paper over the light. More ice trays would be good to have. Other than that, we had a great time and would recommend it to others for short stays.

My family and I loved Salty Cabana!!! It was so comfortable and felt like a home away from home. The check in process was simple and our host was very fast to respond to questions. The property was very clean and had everything we needed. The location was wonderful with a short walk to the beach, pier, arcade, and restaurants. We will definitely be rebooking!

Great walking area

We enjoyed our stay. It was so nice to walk to the beach, food & the pier! The cabana is definitely older, but also clean & cool. The hot water was great!! Having the outside shower was plus with 4 people. Only thing I wished for was a covered porch/patio area. Otherwise, it was a great stay!

Chill Vibes, Close to the Beach, and Dog-Approved

This cozy “cabana” was the perfect escape for me and my dog, Cocoa (queen of sand and side-eye). It’s only about 100 yards from the sand—close, but far enough that you’re not crunching sand in your bed like it’s a seasoning.Inside was spotless, comfy, and had actual closet and cabinet space. I unpacked. Fully. No laundry goblin piles on a chair. I felt like I had my life together. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything I needed to pretend I was going to cook more than once. (I did not. But I could have.)The indoor shower is definitely on the fun-sized side—sneeze too hard and you might concuss yourself—but it’s beautifully tiled and feels like a tiny spa for people who bathe with their elbows tucked in. The outdoor shower was the real MVP. Great for de-sanding after beach adventures, and Cocoa enjoyed watching me from a safe, dry distance with mild disdain.Let me say this loud for the people in the back: blazing fast. Not “it works if you stand near the router” fast. I’m talking full-bars, Netflix-binging, Zoom-call-ready fast. No buffering, no rage. Rare. Beautiful. A beach miracle.The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet—no mysterious thumping from next door. Just sleepy streets. And shoutout to the host for not leaving me a dissertation of checkout rules. Just take out your trash and do your dishes. Simply revolutionary.Bonus win: beach chairs in the shed! Because nothing says “I’ve got my stuff together” like sitting comfortably at the beach.

Cute apartment with easy access & parking. Full kitchen. Nice, artful use of space in the bathroom, looks newly updated. Comfy bed. Nice neighborhood for walking. Short jaunt to the beach. Local seafood shop & restaurants. Short drive to Carolina Beach State Park & Good Hops Brewery - two of our favorite places to visit when we are in the area. Nice weekend getaway. No big issues. Wished an outdoor grill had been available to grill our fresh NC fish, minor detail.

Cute home, great location!

This location alone really makes it worth the stay. Located on the south end of Kure Beach its a little quieter. Only took about three minutes to walk to the beach, a few minutes more to restaurants near by. The place was a quiet, cute little one bedroom. Everything you need for your stay! Would definitely come back and stay here again. Outdoor shower is a big plus!
