Wide street with ample room for walking the dog, strollers, jogging, bike riding, go two miles in a big loop and never go out on highway 12. Walk to the Conery for an ice cream treat. Salvo is a magical little village, you can relax, unwind, unplug and let your troubles go. Bright, fun and open concept living with large comfortably furnished living room, a kitchen with all new appliances & cook and bakeware; counter height bar seating, dining area which looks out to the most amazing front porch, sure to be your favorite place to make family memories. Great place to have your morning coffee, sit in the double glider, or 2 rocking chairs, eat meals on the dining table, play games, this porch is amazing. Finish your evening here with the little white lights plugged in, reminiscing about your day in the sun. You can hear the ocean from this porch.
    Walk down the hallway which leads to four bedrooms, three queen sized bedrooms and a master with a California king size bed and a bath, also a shared bath in the hallway, as well as the laundry area.
    Great parking area underneath, as well as a place to hang out, eat, play corn hole. There is an outdoor shower, fish cleaning station and a pen for the dog. Nice area to store all your beach gear at the end of the day.

This was the absolute best place I have stayed in the OBX, and we tend to go every year. The host provided extremely detailed precheck-in emails and support and stayed in touch via text at the beginning and end of visit. The place is about a five minute walk to the beach with a beach cart (which the property had on site!) along a newer boardwalk. Also the property had chairs and other beach essentials available. The outside shower was the biggest one I have seen so far. The interior of property was totally comfortable and up to date. Furniture was very comfortable. The place was clean and definitely set up for a modern family visit. Landlord does allow small dogs which we have one. The appliances were on the modern side, the HVAC was wonderful, and the covered porch was very nicely set up with nice comfortable seating for an entire family. My wife liked the twinkle lights on the covers porch. Bedrooms were all nicely furnished. They had a lot of hooks for stuff! The bathrooms were all well appointed and water pressure was excellent. Wi-Fi for those that need it was decently fast and stable. The bedrooms all had smart TVs. The laundry was full-sized machines and very efficient. All in all a wonderful location and great host if looking for a laid back OBX vacation.

We really enjoyed our week at SALVOBX. The house was a great size for our group and the location was exactly what we were looking for - tucked away from the crowds, with easy access to both the ocean and the sound. We only went into Nags Head once during our visit. The rest of the time was spent at the beach, on the sound, and exploring the Salvo area and areas further south. Communication with the owner was easy and helpful. Overall very pleased with our experience, which made for a very relaxing stay at the beach!

Great place to get away

We had a wonderful time at Salvobx. The house was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with accessories. The screened in porch was perfect for evenings hanging out and the music from the windchimes was so perfectly relaxing. Amazing communication from the owner. Short walk to beach.

Great house, great owners!

We LOVED Salvo, and the house was fantastic! The pictures were spot on, but being there was even better! Great owners to work with. Quick to respond during the entire process! And, they sent breakfast muffins and cinnamon rolls from a local bakery, delivered to the front door while we were there. Would recommend, and plan to return in the future!

Salvobx

Salvobx was a great house to spend a week long vacation. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and the living spaces outdoor and inside were perfect for spending time together. The neighborhood is enjoyable for walks with our dog, and the beach was only a short walk. We would definitely come back!

Our stay in Salvo exceeded all expectations. Upon arrival, the home was spotless and thoughtfully prepared, complete with delicious snacks and welcoming touches throughout. Every detail was considered—from fully stocked kitchen amenities to laundry supplies and personal accents that made us feel right at home.We were able to enjoy every part of the property and truly appreciated the care that went into creating a comfortable and inviting space. The owner was incredibly attentive and communicative, providing helpful details both before and during our stay. This is undoubtedly a property we would love to book again.

All The Right Ingredients

The property has all of the right features for a great Outer Banks experience. The house/rooms are very well kept with a very simple "Beach Box" design - 4 bedrooms, kitchen, appropriately sized living room and nice screened in porch facing the road. It can't take longer than 10 minutes to walk to the surf. This place is perfect for those who treasure their time on the beach.

Fantastic

We had an amazing vacation thanks to Lori and Salvobx! The home was perfect for our family. It had everything we needed and more! We spent most of our time in the screened porch playing games and enjoying the breeze and sound of the ocean. The walk to beach was not not long at all and took maybe 8 mins. We have zero complaints and can’t wait to return!!

Close to beach access and bigger than it looks

My family had a blast! The house is bigger than it looks in the pictures, the main living area is huge and was enough for the 7 of us with room to spare. Beach access is only a few houses down the block, it took us about 5-10 mins tops to get to the beach carrying all of our stuff. The area is just beautiful, we went to Avon, Waves and Manteo and even bought a huge kite! We found a ton of cool shells and even had a bonfire on the beach one night and made s'mores. It was fantastic.

Perfect Beach Family Getaway

Salvobx was they perfect fit for our family get together. Comfortable beds, a well stocked kitchen, fabulous screened in porch, great outdoor shower for rinsing off the sand, storage area for beach items, and minutes away from an incredible beach. (As noted before, if you are into cooking you may want to bring your own knives/cutting boards) Salvo is a quiet little town, with a short drive to the attractions in the north or to Hatteras to the south. Lorri was one of the best hostesses we have ever had in our 20+ years using VRBO. We will definitely be recommending this rustic little gem to others.

Nothing to do but RELAX!

I can’t say enough about this house...Everything was perfect and my family and I finally relaxed once we got there. The house was easy and the more I stayed, the more I appreciated all the littles touches that Lori put in the house and the very nice renovation. Favorite memories...The screened in porch, grilling downstairs, the outside shower, the kids loved watching movies in the bedrooms, the waves at the beach and the wide open spaces on the sand! Thank you Lori for your attention to detail in every way.

Absolutely beautiful property!

We just returned from a fantastic week! The house looks in person just as pictured. The beds are comfortable. The walk to the beach is SO quick and easy. The town is so peaceful! The only issue we had was the cleaning. The cleaning person was not thorough, and in a pet friendly property, that’s maybe even more important. When we arrived we open the door to a wall of overwhelming fragrance. Even the refrigerator smelled like the cleaning person had just emptied a bottle of Lysol or Febreeze in it. We’ve never had to air a place out before, but we had to do it here. It took 6 hours of open windows to make it so we could come back into the house. With so many asthma and allergy sensitivities, the cleaning company needs to find an alternate idea to clean a small space and use less of it! Once we could re-enter, we found that we had to vacuum because there was dog hair all over. Under all of the furniture, on the sides of most of the furniture, and under the beds looked like it hadn’t been touched in weeks. However, I communicated all of this right away with the owner, who does ask for feedback. She is incredibly gracious and I believe she will have this fixed right away! Owner communication is unmatched. Lorri provided us with everything we could possible need to enjoy our week there, including ideas of things to do. She also goes way above and beyond with so many welcoming surprises that it would be impossible not to feel at home! Overall, we were beyond impressed with the property. Everything in the owner’s immediate power was handled beautifully and we will absolutely be back!
