About this property

Summer stays still open

NEW FOR 2021!!! HOT TUB, New patio furniture, New washer/dryer
Spend your vacation at Saltwater Sanctuary - Our fabulous home is central to an array of Outer Banks attractions, excellent restaurants, shopping, pier fishing and National Parks. Take in all that OBX has to offer and come back to our comfortable home and enjoy your own private saltwater pool !
We have been visiting the OBX for 15 years and are so happy we are able to have a place to call "home" in Nags Head. Our house is located in walking distance to Lucky 12, Surfin' Spoon, Tortuga's, Dowdy Park, Nags Head Fishing Pier which has a great outside bar/restaurant, Morning View and Front Porch coffee shops...... tour Jockey's Ridge and see a great sunset right across the highway from us! Austins Fish Market is a few minute drive, grab some fresh seafood for dinner to cook on the grill and dine poolside or on the picnic table. We are close to the bridge to Manteo - don't miss this gem of a town! Be sure to stop at the Tiki Bar at Blue Water grill and take in the marina - great boutique shops, Lost Colony Brewery for great beer and Ortegaz's for yummy Mexican food and margaritas, Kill Devil Rum tour and tasting, Elizabethan Gardens and the TO DO see the Lost Colony play. Oregon Inlet is a great place to watch the catch come in later afternoons - some monster fish, don't miss it, only a short drive from the house....MP 11.5 is convenient to so many places it's hard to list them all - AND, don't forget the beach - a five minute walk to Bladen Street access or Bainbridge Street access, both offer parking if you'd prefer to drive the two minutes.
Don't feel like walking? We supply TWO adult bikes as well (helmets not provided).
Our shed is stocked with beach chairs, coolers,corn hole and ladder ball - less to pack !
Built in 2010, Saltwater Sanctuary has been beautifully maintained, it shows like a new home. The lower level has a rec room with couch, large flat screen TV with Netflix, full size frig for all your overflow goodies, full bathroom complete with granite countertops and access to the fenced pool area. Our upper level features an open concept living area and kitchen, pantry, washer and dryer, master bedroom with King bed and beautiful attached bath, make-up chair and granite counters and two additional large bedroom with queen beds that share a full bath.
Outside, in addition to the pool area, the front porch offers a shaded seating area as well as a spot in the sun with bar height chairs and a pub table. Underneath the house, enjoy the shade in our comfortable swing hammock chairs.....
We provide bed linens but you will need to bring your own bath and beach towels.

Your best vacation home awaits your arrival....................

Saltwater Sanctuary

My two friends and I were very impressed with this home. It is clean, comfortable, well equipped and beautifully decorated. Since the weather wasn’t great that weekend we spent more time than usual sitting on the front porch and by the pool. Would definitely return to this home and the gracious hosts.

We’ve found our yearly spot!

The house was amazing! This trip was for my 50th birthday with the girls! Everything was fantastic. Danielle is an amazing host and just literally a phone call away. I think we’re going to return as soon as possible The pool allows a wonderful day in and the closeness to the beach allows for a day out. It was one of the most peaceful and relaxing vacations we’ve had.

Relaxing Week at the Saltwater Sanctuary

We had a great stay at the Saltwater Sanctuary. Dani was tremendous to work with and answered any questions we had before check-in. She was also very responsive during our stay. The house location is perfect as you are in walking distance to the beach and a short drive to grocery stores/restaurants. While the week wasn't that conducive to beach days, we made the most of it by spending the mornings at the shore and then the afternoons in the pool and hot tub. The house was great. It looked to be very updated. The decor made you feel like you were on vacation in a tropical paradise. The kitchen amenities (pots/pans, spices, plates, glass cups, plastic cups, etc.) were easy to find and made cooking at home very easy. We used all of the entertainment choices provided...both in the downstairs game room and cornhole outdoors. We will definitely return to this location the next time we are visiting OBX.

Great week at the beach

Third time staying on this property. This in itself says a lot. It's just perfect for our family to enjoy good times together at the OBX. We loved the pool and the spa tub. House has plenty of everything you need, close to the beach and Jockey's Ridge.

Relaxing and accommodating

Our stay was perfect for a girls getaway. The house was very clean, had all the beach and pool amenities needed, and communicated quickly any questions we had. The beach was walkable and it was a quiet street. This is an excellent choice for any family or group.

Perfect house

This house is a perfect place to stay in the outer banks. The kitchen is stocked so well, we were able to prepare and cook many meals. The house is cozy and comfortable. The pool is relaxing and fun. It's just a short walk to the beach making it so easy to walk in the morning and evening after a fun day at the beach. The owner is responsive and truly cares about you enjoying your stay. After we checked out, she sent a text with a heads up of traffic on the bridge, we were able to alter our directions and save loads of time on our travel home. It was so thoughtful.

Great family house!

It can be hard to find a great house for a single family in the Outer Banks, but this one delivers on everything! Plenty of space, well maintained and in a prime location. The pool and hot tub area are a must for anyone looking for a break from the beach. There was plenty to do provided in the house, from puzzles, to board games to yard games and bikes. The house is well stocked with kitchen essentials, including a Keurig and regular coffee maker, along with plenty of dishes, mugs, glasses etc. Hosts are very responsive to any questions and provided a ton of info about the area. Highly recommend!

Perfect Family Vacation

The house was perfect for our family. The owners have made their beach house feel like a home. We really appreciated all of the extras that are included, ie, beach toys, beach chairs, beach wagon, bikes, etc. House was nicely decorated and kitchen was well-equipped. Pool and hot tub were an added plus. Also, great communication with Danielle. We would definitely stay here again!

Family Trip to Nags Head

Our family of 6 (4 adults 2 kids) had an amazing time in OBX and the stay at Saltwater Sanctuary was fantastic! The house was very clean, decor was adorable, and the location was great. We could walk to the beach, pier, coffee, or Surfin Spoon! The house was well equipped with everything we could need and we enjoyed riding bikes around. The outdoor areas were great and we spent many hours in the pool. We appreciated the hospitality and communication from Dani! 10/10 would recommend this place for any family. Thanks Dani for letting us enjoy our vacation in your home!

Perfect Family Getaway

This home was perfect for our family's vacation. It stands out as one of the best stocked and most comfortable homes I have rented. You can see the owners have gone the extra mile to provide the best experience for their guests. Our young son loved swimming in the pool since he could only be on the beach for so long. The distance to the beach, the pool and the overall comfort of the home make it one of the best places to rent in OBX.

Amazing stay in Nags Head

The property is just as advertised. Walking distance to the beach. Conveniently located to the YMCA, grocery stores, and restaurants. Air conditioning works beautifully. The pool was wonderful. A slight amount of traffic noise, but pretty minimal if the windows were closed. Dina is very communicative, check in process was extremely smooth.
