Gloves will be discarded after each cleaning and cleaners will wash hands immediately in warm soapy water for 20 seconds after gloves are removed ◦ We use EPA-registered hospital grade disinfectants that provide CDC recommended antimicrobial chemicals – We provide all housekeepers with these chemicals ◦ Housekeepers will be focusing additional attention on high-touch surfaces, including but not limited to: doorknobs, elevator buttons, keyless entry pad, TV remotes, light switches, stair handrails, cabinet drawer pulls, appliance handles such as fridge, microwave, & oven, laundry machines, washer/dryer knobs, and thermostats. All hard surfaces, kitchens, and bathrooms will be thoroughly sanitized ◦ Housekeeper will use disposable cloths, sponges and mop heads for each home. Vacuum cleaners will remain in the house and will be emptied after each use ◦ All windows and slider doors will be open while cleaning and left open to remove and disperse the droplets and reduce the amount of virus in the air – which will reduce the risk of infection for others ◦ Beds will be made with freshly laundered sheets and pillowcases. Pillows, mattress pads, and comforters will be misted with sanitizing product ◦ Supervisors will follow cleaners with a spray to ensure all surfaces have been correctly sanitized ◦ We will have no more than two cleaners in a home and family members only • Laundry Protocol: ◦ All bed linen, pillow cases, towels, and etc. are laundered at our facility in commercial washers and dryers at high temperature to help kill coronavirus. ◦ All Laundry staff wear masks and disposable gloves when cleaning and disinfecting items or surfaces. Gloves will be discarded after each handling of a load and the laundry attendant will wash hands immediately in warm soapy water for 20 seconds after gloves are removed. ◦ While transferring items from the bin to the washer, our team has been trained not to shake the laundry, which could disperse the virus through the air, according to the CDC. ◦ Sanitizer is also used between each folding task to keep all surfaces clean. ◦ After the dirty laundry is placed in the washer, our staff disinfects the surfaces in the laundry area such as the knobs and the door pull on the washing machine and dryer. ◦ Laundry bins that hold dirty and clean laundry are kept separated and washed between uses with bleach or other EPA – registered disinfectants. ◦ Once linens are bagged by laundry staff, it is placed on the porch for pick up at a certain time and cleaners will pick up bags and all supplies one at a time. ◦ Housekeepers will return the laundry bag at the end of the day and it will be washed and ready for the next turn day.

Pool was great. Beds where very nice to sleep in. Only downside was a little far from things. Grocery store is about 20 mins south to the food loin. Would stay again. ##### shannan s. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren G. 15 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best House Yet The house is perfectly situated and sized for us, a family of five, with a private pool and direct access to the beach. The interior is nothing fancy but clean and functional - actually nicer than what we saw in the pictures provided. It's clear that the owners are invested in keeping the house updated and were responsive to questions we had during hour trip. Overall, it was an excellent house to spend the week. We plan on going back. ##### Lauren G. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tara P. 20 Aug 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Family Fun in Salvo Overall our vacation was a 5, but this house is more like a 3\. The property has great potential, but has not been maintained. The pool was fantastic, but was surrounded by weeds and included a pile of broken and rusted pool toys. The pool loungers(3) were all broken and unusable. It was nice to have direct access to the beach, a short walk over the dunes for a day in the sand. However, the fence door was not secure and with a dog and small child, this was a concern. The host was informed and was responsive, but the issue was not resolved. The house itself worked out great for our group with plenty of room to spread out inside and out. It could have been cleaner(walls and floors) and just needed more attention to details like clogged bathtubs and broken blinds. With a little effort, this property could easily be a 5\. ##### Tara P.

There is a lot of work that needs to be done. The upstairs shower leaked to the master bedroom below. We messaged the owner, he sent the property manager and plumber over and we just stopped using the upstairs bathroom. When we were leaving we noticed that the kitchen sink was leaking below. Other than this the place was good but don't expect anything extravagant except the stereo which was awesome! We did have a great vacation! ##### Anthony E.

Comfortable home, with a nice deck and pool, and a short walk to the beach. ##### Christopher M. Stayed 7 nights in May 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Andrea B. 28 Sept 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy The location/access to the beach and pool were wonderful. The home, however, was mold-ridden, musty, and in poor repair. We learned from a maintenance worker that the upstairs tub had been flooded by previous tenants and ran through to the downstairs bathroom and bedroom. I reached out to the property owner to see if an air purifier could be provided and got no response. The advertised beach chairs and wagon were rusty, broken and not usable. The area around the pool was littered with weeds and old cigarette butts. The experience was overall very disappointing and will not return to this property due to the mold problem and lack of upkeep to the home and property. Salvo, the beach and locals are delightful and will definitely go back for vacation! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/74faf08c-2a05-48af-a61c-70f623b83833-1759086282244.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cba37db7-b99a-4b8a-980a-22f22951edc0-1759086279636.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1dc77c4c-51a3-40c7-a2da-edded605546e-1759086278000.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9b6ad2f4-2f0e-4f42-929c-4a846996ce07-1759086269814.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Andrea B.

There is a very short walk over thru the dunes to the beach, right behind the house, the beach is very quiet and clean, lots of wildlife, crabs, birds....We visited some other beaches further north and this one was much cleaner and much less crowded. Maybe one group of people every 300-400 yards, so much space. This is right before the official season begins, would guess the neighborhood was maybe half occupied There were a couple of broken chairs on the rooftop, we laid down a blanket on the rooftop as we didn't feel comfortable moving the furniture to the top deck. Loved watching the sunrise and stargazing from the top deck and afternoons spent in the shade of the house in the pool. Bedding needs updating and dishes needed cleaned off before use, maybe first stay of the season. We thought it was a great location for visiting the Outer Banks and we thoroughly enjoyed the stay. We would stay again. Thank you! ![Main deck view of pool and dunes ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/16da23ac-10e2-497f-bce9-51000b830f3e-1748129482222.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f6f79377-d18e-4575-928f-040ec2ae5410-1748129482223.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lauren Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Douglas H., Burnsville NC 10 Jul 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We had clean the pool it was nasty in the house the filter was nasty under the couches very nasty Not happy ,no ocean view ,over price but we made the best of it going back to Holden beach ,at least they Should have clean The pool for us and everything was not clean very disappointed never got internet access ##### Douglas H.

It has everything you need, particularly in the kitchen which even had an air fryer. The pool was nice, a little cool in April, but great to have it right next to the house. The beach is a short walk through the dunes and can't be seen from the house, but the ocean can be seen from the rooftop deck. There were extra sand toys, beach chairs and a wagon under house. Check in was super easy with the door key pad and a clear and informative email from the owner. Otherwise, it was clean and functional like you'd expect and we didn't have any issues while we were there. Thanks again for a great week! ##### matt s.

The layout of the house was good. The house was too short to see the ocean, so that was disappointing. The dangerous ladder stairs to the roof were impractical. The house was not very clean. The living room furniture was stained. The master bedroom had moldy water stained walls and was in the worst shape. Outside lighting was too little and not all of them were in working order. ##### Penny B.

Property owner is making many efforts to improve this property. If you’re not familiar with the dune situation in OBX be prepared for crossing to be a challenge, not a reflection of the property owner just something I wasn’t quite ready for. Currently there wasn’t a good seating choice for older guests that need to put their feet up, again not a reflection on the owner just something I should have realized when booking, hopefully new living room furniture will be in the future. \*house was no longer brown, but rather a beautifully updated turquoise! ##### Talitha D.

We had a great experience renting this property for our family of 5 and the family dog. The week was sunny and warm, it was nice to have the air conditioning inside after a long day at the beach or pool. The pool was a huge hit, perfect size for the property and the fenced in yard was great to keep track of the dog. Some extra pool and beach toys under the house with a wagon came in handy as well. The house was well cleaned prior to our arrival and having the towels in plastic wrap gave us that extra clean comfort. All kitchen appliances we needed were there and plenty of options in the area to order from as well. Having the outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach was nice, and the 3 levels of deck were appreciated. We got some beautiful views of both sunrise and sunset from the top level, and seeing the boats on the water was also nice. The house will need continued TLC as it is showing age in some areas, but it has everything you need to have an amazing week in the Outer Banks! We would definitely stay here again when we come back to the area in the future! ##### Amanda K.

And we loved the pool tho it wasn't heated, but one warm day it was tolerable. While we were fans of the house, the furnishings seemed haphazard and convenient. The furniture doesn't fit the house and the linens were of poor quality(think cheap hotel). But we liked the layout and design of the house.and the decks! I wish there had been a table and more visit-friendly chair sets on the many decks. We were able to cook no problems. There was no extra anything tho, not paper towels or toilet paper or trash bags. The hand soaps were nearly empty and no dish liquid or powder/pods. Not even salt and pepper. Some kitchen towels would have been nice also. I sound as if i am complaining however i can honestly say we enjoyed our time here and would stay again. Just want the owners to know it could be even better! One last thing- when we arrived, we found and envelope asking for a gratuity from the cleaner. I leave a tip for outstanding service. This was not. There was trash behind the nightstand, which i left, and there are crumbs in the silverware holder. Just doing a few things could make this house into a more comfortable home. ##### Michelle H.

We arrived at 3:45 and the cleaning company arrived at 4:00 & stayed a total of 25 minutes. She came in with a bottle of Clorox and a rag only. There is no way someone was able to clean a two story house up to covid protocol as stated or any cleaning protocol whatsoever. When we got in, the floors were filthy with dust and hair balls / crumbs all over the floor (we ended up vacuuming and just the living room carpet alone filled up half the vacuum), the kitchen table and counters had crumbs and smudges all over them, the bathroom mirrors were not cleaned, the back slide door was covered in handprints and dog drool, the coffee pot was not clean, the AC did not keep up (it got to 78 everyday before noon), the fans were completely coated with dust & the main living room fan did not work, the deck had rusted nails sticking up. After waking up the first morning, my 3 month old daughter had a swollen eye and green goo coated. We spent all day Monday at urgent care in Kill Devil Hills to find out she had conjunctivitis (bacterial infection) most likely from the dirty environment. Not to mention there looked to be black mold on the ceiling on the main floor bathroom. When I reached out to the owner, he told me the lady who came to clean when we arrived was only there to wipe down the door knobs and surfaces and that a cleaner came at noon. Overall, we took it upon ourselves to clean the property so we didn’t have to pack our belongings back up and have more people coming in and out of the property. I’ve never been to a rental so filthy. The location was nice but if you have small children or like a clean environment, this is not the property for you. ##### AXqh6rYAAACqAQICAHhRqf5uyCh4rhrpAEcd0Lr3O2ECPWffSl2fK29sG1pXlAG4k3KmFsPeUvIVxlzkjpfoAAAAcDBuBgkqhkiG9w0BBwagYTBfAgEAMFoGCSqGSIb3DQEHATAeBglghkgBZQMEAS4wEQQMHakMC4CNcL0ghWukAgEQgC2574T5R3ihv9VtUq/9kctoILboSPm5XDLbrpi3mhajhVjLwBZvQRimccBo+Xaj5HEgu1OgMx2TpjdoXXgfAlfkQD5LPqfLr+zusf+UlPZM A.

The house is located on the beach with a beautiful pool in Salvo, NC. The house is spacious with three bed rooms, two bathrooms and a full kitchen. It also has a washer and dryer which is perfect for a beach house. It also has a roof deck! The pictures are exactly what we saw when we arrived. We enjoyed our week in Salvo. ##### Angela T.

The house was very comfortable and this is probably the first vrbo I have rented that actually had decent TV service and reception (Thank you). The pool felt wonderful and clean and well kept. The beach was beautiful and not crowded. I enjoyed greatly being able to wake up and walk out through the dunes to watch the sunrise. In the same breath I was able to catch some amazing lightning from the storms which luckily rolled through in the evenings and overnight. There was great communication with the owners or rental management as they were truly wanting to make sure we had no issues with the house. I truly appreciate their concern on my behalf. The only thing I would suggest to future renters (no fault of the property/owners) grab your milk and eggs and other necessities before getting to the property. There is a run on those items with everyone else coming to their vacation rentals. The closest grocery is 20 min. South in Avon. ##### Colleen C. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ---
