NO CLEANING FEES! NO DOG FEES! NO LINEN FEES! DIRECT BEACH ACCESS!

*Jan/Feb/Nov/Dec welcome short stays. Please inquiry for accurate pricing.

Experience Oceanfront Living at its finest with this Extremely Clean & Comfortable Oceanfront Gem!

With new kitchen appliances and quartz countertops, this vintage style beach cottage is fully updated on the inside! You can see the ocean from every room!

This property is lovingly and routinely maintained. Located directly on the beach with spectacular panoramic ocean views both inside and outside the house. New 52" Overlook chairs on the deck to watch the dolphins and maybe even a whale swim by. Shorter chairs are also provided for those not comfortable that high up!

Unfamiliar with KITTY HAWK? It is Located just over the Wright Memorial Bridge in the Outer Banks (OBX). Brilliantly located in a small family vintage "Beach Box" town with miles of beautiful beach and single family properties. Safe and super convenient to shopping, groceries, local restaurants, vet and human medical care; it's easy to explore all the towns in the OBX since Kitty Hawk is centrally located. Travel to the Northern Beaches to find the Wild Horses or travel to the more remote beaches further south. Kitty Hawk really is the perfect, centrally located family and dog centered beach town!

We understand the investment you are making in your vacation, and we want to be sure you are getting the value you deserve. What you see is what you get...well actually what you get is far more spectacular in person! Our pictures are accurate, and we update them as quickly as we can however there may be updates to the decor as we replace and freshen the home continuously.

As close to the ocean as you can get. This home sits on the beach with direct ocean access off the deck steps. The ocean views are the bees' knees. A sweet and clean dog friendly beach cottage that is conveniently located on the beach just past Mile Post 3 in Kitty Hawk, N.C. Local dining, gas stations, drug stores and grocery stores are easily accessible.

Travel to the northern beaches to see the wild horses or head to the southern beaches for more seclusion. Explore all the towns, light houses, historical landmarks, wildlife refuges, aquarium, golf, great dunes, sunsets on the sound side or just stay home and watch the dolphins while sipping coffee or your favorite beverage. Walk off the deck and surf fish for fun or for a fresh caught dinner!

The location of this home cannot be beat nor can the tasteful beach decor and comfortable furniture. There's a King, Queen and Twin Bedroom, an adjoining full bathroom (shower stall) to the King bedroom and a convenient full bathroom (shower stall) in the hallway. A full size stackable washer and dryer is located in the hallway and the full kitchen with breakfast bar is well equipped with dining essentials and more. Dine at the table with the beach in view or relax on the Lay Z Boy reclining sectional and gaze out the windows as the Pelicans fly by. The oceanside deck boasts 2 Overlook chairs and 4 tall captains chairs which you may find yourself sitting in most of the time.

There is parking for 3 vehicles and one vehicle can fit comfortably under cover (height restriction). A handy outdoor shower and charcoal grill complete the experience. Please note: the sand dunes wax and wane throughout the seasons. You are allowed to walk on the dunes on our property to access the beach.

If you are looking for a pool, please check out our other OBX SALT LIFE property, SALT ON THE RIM OBX Vrbo 2562748 which is also in Kitty Hawk and is a 4 BR/ 2 BA property with a pool and hot tub.

RATES & FEES: No one likes added fees. So obxsaltlife beach houses don't have them.

Perfect Getaway

A relaxing beachfront home, super clean, well appointed and really comfortable. Sitting on the deck with coffee in the morning can’t be beat. The beach is steps away. A great place to relax after a long day on the beach soaking up the sun. Cannot wait to return!

Wonderful vacation

Beautiful home, right on the beach. Beautiful sunrise every morning. Beds very comfortable. A screen door leading out to the porch would be very helpful as flies are a real problem. That way guests could listen to the surf.

Perfect location!

The home was perfect for myself, wife, and daughter. It was wonderful every day just looking out at the ocean and being able to walk down the deck steps and to the beach/water. The home was well equipped with all the kitchen accessories you would need. House is in a great location with easy access to grocery and shopping. If we come back to the outer banks, we will definitely be staying here again.

Amazing clean home on the beach at Kitty Hawk with beautiful sunrise views. Perfect Outer Banks location steps away from the beach. Everything you would need is in the home. We had an amazing time and we will be back, thank you for sharing your beautiful home. Very dog friendly. We woke up every morning to catch the sunrises.

Sandy Toes and Stunning Sunrises

From the time of booking, communication was excellent. After months of waiting the date was finally upon us… checking in was a breeze. Breathtaking views, location is at the center of everything. The home is immaculate and VERY well maintained. All kitchen items run smooth and home is well stocked with basically everything you’ll need utensils and glasses/silverware wise. I personally loved the little signs and touches of decor in the beach house. I could go on and on with how amazing this week was but you’ll have to see for yourself. Thank you for a memorable week for myself and my family.

Just As You Imagine

Saltwater Sunrise is a spectacular property. You will not find any location that provides close proximity to the ocean waves than this property! Every aspect of the home is as indicated in the listing. This home was the cleanest, most well appointed him that we have ever used. The owners are responsive to any needs and communication is superb. We look forward to returning in the future. Maria and Mike--thank you for sharing your home with our family.

About the host

Hosted by Saltwater Sunrise/OBX Salt Life

Host profile image
We are the owners of Saltwater Sunrise, the sweetest and cleanest beach cottage on the beach! We believe life is meant to be spent with the ones you love and want to be around and in a place that reminds you that an uncomplicated life is a happy life. Rest and fun are all part of our best life and spending time at Saltwater Sunrise  with our rescue dogs completes us.

We have spent the better part of our lives in professional and volunteer positions where saving lives as a firefighter and healing souls as a social worker have become our mission.  We have brought our past experiences to the forefront through owning a gym and teaching the community self preservation through functional fitness and nutrition. Relaxing while enjoying family and friends or just being by yourself is crucial to wellness. And Saltwater Sunrise gives you that perfect balance of Rest and Relaxation without isolation. 



Why they chose this property

Conveniently located just past Mile Post 3 on Beach Road, Saltwater Sunrise is not only perfectly situated directly on the beach, it is easy to get to and easy to get to all the necessities such as grocery stores, restaurants, shopping, medical and vet care and obx sights.  We can watch the sun rise, pelicans fly, dolphins swim and have even seen a seal on the beach with the panoramic view from inside the house, from the gated deck or on the beach itself.  Sun, sand and salt air abound which makes this house a dream to own.

Being able to bring our dogs with us allows us to be at home at the beach. It's quite a find and the location, bed configuration and (did we mention the views) allows our family to enjoy living on the beach in comfort.

What makes this property unique

Saltwater Sunrise is the sweetest beach cottage with sweeping ocean views all around! You can see the beach from every room! With historical sights, water and non-water adventures, shopping, wild horses, fishing, swimming, restaurants, medical facilities, veterinary care and so much more within minutes of this beach cottage, it truly is the perfect location for a beach cottage. You can have lazy beach days or fun exploratory days without any preparation. We couldn't ask for a better location or a better cottage.

Kitty Hawk is our favorite location in OBX. Why? Because minutes after you cross the bridge you have arrived! There is no sitting in traffic one way in one way out of town. You have the choice of Beach Road (Hwy 12 aka Virginia Dare Trail) as well as the divided Croatan Hwy to get you where you want to be. Is it crowded? Well, it is a beautiful beach vacation destination so there will be people. However, being in Kitty Hawk allows us easy access to grocery stores, drug stores, gas stations, and all the wonderful sights yet still have the serenity, quaintness and miles of beach just outside our door. Without large high rise buildings and mansion neighborhoods, Kitty Hawk remains a sweet family friendly and relaxing yet convenient town to vacation. The vintage style "beach boxes" keeps Kitty Hawk an OBX gem of a location as well as family and dog friendly.
