### Ocean Views • Hot Tub • Pet-Friendly • Steps to the Sand
Welcome to Salt & Sand, your coastal sanctuary in Rodanthe, NC—where crashing waves drown out your inbox and toes-in-the-sand is the new dress code. This 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath reverse living home is perfect for families, couples, and friend groups needing a reboot. Wake up to ocean views, soak in the 6-person seasonal hot tub, and let even the furry family members get in on the action. Just a few sandy steps from the shore!
**The space**
Time to trade busy schedules for beach days and sunsets. Salt & Sand invites families to slow down, spread out, enjoy life, and make memories together. Here’s what’s waiting:
**Highlights:**
➤Prime location: Steps from the Beach- grab your gear and go—no long treks or packed parking lots. Great for surfing or Surf Fishing, and Rodanthe Pier is just a short drive or walk along the beach
➤Reverse Living: The Main living, kitchen, and dining space are on the top floor for beautiful ocean views.
➤3-Season Hot Tub: Relax in the hot tub from Spring till Fall.
➤Pet-Friendly: We welcome pets to join in on the fun (additional fee applies), but no cats, please—our beach house is allergic to their charm (and their dander).
➤Perfect for Reconnecting: Spacious layout, comfy shared spaces, and beachside calm to bring everyone back together.
**Accommodations & Features:**
Experience comfort and modern amenities in this charming seaside escape:
➤Bedrooms: 5 Bedrooms, 3.5 Baths: Plenty of space for everyone—no fighting over beds or bathrooms. Primary Suite: King bed, en-suite bath with balcony and hot tub access.

➤ Modern Conveniences: Equipped with a fully stocked kitchen, laundry washer and dryer. Two full-size refrigerators to ensure there’s enough room for groceries so you don’t have to leave the beach, and a drink cooler on the bottom floor so you can pop in from the beach for a quick beverage. Enjoy fast WiFi for those who need to stay connected.
**Living Spaces:**
➤ Indoor: Spacious open-concept living and dining area with vaulted ceilings and lots of natural light.
➤ Outdoor: Covered and uncovered decks, dining space, and lounge areas for soaking in that sea breeze.

**Salt & Sand House Rules**
**Quick Clean-Up Checklist**
Load dirty dishes into the dishwasher.
Toss the used towels in the bathroom.
Either strip the beds or leave them unmade—we’ll take it from there.
Trash days are **Monday & Thursday nights**:
➤ Roll cans to the driveway's edge (wheels facing the house).
➤ Please do not overstuff, put stuff on top of the closed lid, or on the ground (the cans are emptied by machine, and may not be emptied).
➤ Please return the cans after pickup.
**No fireworks** allowed or used on property
No unregistered guests or pets
No house parties
**House Stuff**
Keep doors and windows closed to keep cool air in and bugs out.
The cargo lift is not for guest use. Please don’t use it.
Be gentle with furniture and décor—this is a family home, not a frat house.
**Hot Tub Etiquette**
Rinse off before you hop in—salt, sand & sunscreen clog things up!
It’s cleaned **Wednesdays & Saturdays**.
No Glass containers in or around the hot tub
Keep the cover on when not in use to maintain heat and keep debris out.
Fees for hot tub violations:
➤ $100 for excess cleaning
➤ $500 for damaged or mishandled cover (they’re \*shockingly\* expensive!)
**Pet Parents, We See You!**
No cats, please.
There may be an extra cleaning fee for excessive shedding—brush before beach zoomies!
We recommend kenneling pets if you're out exploring for long stretches.
Outside, leashes are required at all times in Rodanthe.
Always scoop the poop and bring water to keep those tails wagging.
Avoid hot midday sand, as paws can burn.
Stay on walkways and don’t leave huge dug holes (sea turtles and clumsy humans say thanks!).
**Beach Reminders**
No overnight gear—chairs, tents, toys must be off the beach by \*\*8 PM\*\* or Dare County will remove them.
**Quiet hours** are from **10 PM to 8 AM** sound carries over the ocean like gossip at brunch.
**Beach & Water Safety**
Flag System – Know Before You Go
Green = Low Risk. Swim smart.
Yellow = Moderate Risk. Caution for all.
Red = High Risk. No swimming!
Double Red = Beach Closed. Stay dry.
Purple = Marine life warning (jellyfish, etc.)
**Rip Currents**
If caught in one:
Don’t panic. Float, yell for help, and swim parallel to shore.
**Weather & Surf Reports**
Check conditions daily.
If you hear thunder, get indoors—lightning travels far!
**Text “OBXBeachConditions” to 77295** for updates (Msg/data rates may apply).

#### Good property with an excellent location
Very communicative owner, nicely done home with an excellent location. House does need house numbers and its name on it. WS a bit weird to try and find then walk onto property just guessing. Only way we knew was the door code worked…The description of the property amenities could use an upgrade….coffee machine, no beach equipment included, bbq is lacking.
