New Ownership, Same Great Ocean Isle Experience

Salt & Sound was recently purchased by experienced vacation rental owners in June 2026 who are committed to providing an exceptional guest experience. We have owned and managed successful vacation rental properties and understand what guests value most, clean accommodations, thoughtful amenities, responsive communication, and a stress-free vacation experience. See the attached pictures of reviews from the previous owner.



If you have stayed in this condo before, you'll be happy to know that many of the features and amenities guests have loved remain in place. Our goal is to continue providing the same wonderful Ocean Isle Beach experience while making ongoing improvements that enhance the property for future guests.



We look forward to welcoming both returning visitors and first time guests to Salt & Sound for years to come.

The Experience

The moment you arrive, you'll understand what makes this location so special.



Perched on the top floor of the building, Salt & Sound enjoys elevated views across Jinks Creek and the Intracoastal Waterway. The top floor location not only provides some of the best views in the community, it also offers added privacy and quiet since there are no guests staying above you.



From the spacious waterfront deck, you'll enjoy panoramic views of boats passing through the waterway, kayakers exploring the marshes, fishermen heading out for the day, and coastal birds soaring overhead. As evening approaches, the sky transforms into a spectacular display of orange, pink, purple, and gold as the sun sets over the water. Many guests find themselves spending as much time on the deck as they do on the beach.



Start your morning with coffee and coastal breezes. Spend the afternoon relaxing after a day on the sand. Finish the evening with your favorite drink while enjoying one of the best sunset views on Ocean Isle Beach.
