Everything was fantastic. We may rent again next year but school schedule changed. So we need to decide if we want to keep her out of school for some time to come the same week. Mattress in king room was fantastic, what brand was it.

The place is fantastic! What a nice 5 days on the beach at your place. Lola even liked the beach, although she’s more of a mountain trail dog. Everything was so nice, your new kitchen looked like things had hardly been used. We got home last night and boiled up some shrimp for supper that we had picked up before leaving. Nothing beats fresh shrimp from the coast!
Thanks again of having this place for us. We hope to come back next year sometime. We will be sure to contact you when we start planning.
No complaints whatsoever.
One small suggestion, though. The bathrooms need a shelf to put stuff, especially when two or more people are sharing.
Hope you have a wonderful New Year!

Imagine waking up every morning to a breathtaking sunrise, followed by a peaceful barefoot stroll along a spectacular beach. Experiencing that feeling of having discovered your own private paradise. Well… This is a typical day at Saltwater Sunrise!!
We thoroughly enjoyed the coastal charm of this clean, cozy beach house. We so appreciate that this home is pet friendly!! We loved walking our dog along the beach every morning, followed by relaxing out on the deck taking in the beautiful view! The thoughtful addition of the new taller deck chairs quickly became our favorite perch. They are fitted with cup holders and the elevated height is perfect for improving views over the magnificent dunes. We would lounge on these chairs for hours while admiring the dolphins as they gracefully glide through the ocean water. WoW!! Such an amazing week of enjoying the sun, enjoying nature, and enjoying the OBX.
This location is perfect! We highly recommend you experience a stay at Saltwater Sunrise. We cherished every moment. This was our first visit, but we are already looking forward to our next. Thank you so much Maria for sharing your amazing home with us!

Amazing Every Time!
We cannot possibly say enough good things about this house and location. Everything about it is perfect. Clean, well maintained home with everything you could need for a week away. Quiet street for a nice stroll on the bikes. A quick walk brings you to a fantastic section of the beach. The back yard, pool and hot tub are simply the icing on the cake!
Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great stay in the Kitty Hawk/OBX area!

We surely are enjoying our stay and the weather has been surprisingly nicer than forecasted. We even got to get in the pool yesterday. Thanks again for the this wonderful property for us to make lifetime memories.

The house is as advertised and we have brilliant weather for at least these next couple days! I’m all about that! The house is awesome—you and Mike have clearly put a lot of time and effort into this place!!

As usual, your cottage is lovely. Every time I come back, your designer’s eye has been at work, and you and Mike have tweaked something else! The sensor lighting is terrific!
Thanks and warm regards,

We have loved staying here and are sad to leave tomorrow! If any weeks end up opening up this summer before 8/15, we would love to come back.

What a wonderful week we have had!
The house is immaculate and very well appointed with everything we needed.
We made full use of the pool area despite the range of weather we had this week
(and the pool crew came twice to check everything and share some local fishing tips and restaurant ideas).
We will definitely be back. Thank you again for hosting us and we couldn’t have been happier with everything. A really great family experience.

Maria thank you for a wonderful week
You are the best hosts
We rented a second family home and it couldn’t come close to the charm and cleanliness of your home
The others were jealous!!!!
We would love to rent next year, possibly two weeks. We are flexible.Our preference would be end of March into April. Let me know please when your schedule is available
Back to the cold weather

We had such an amazing time at Salt on the Rim!! This beautiful home was perfect for our little getaway. It’s so comfy and homey, decorated so perfect! I actually took some pictures to recreate your style here at home! Each one of us agreed that hitting the beach for NYE is our new tradition! Thank you so much for sharing your little slice of heaven with us.

This is a fabulous immaculate beach house with thoughtful amenities. The beach is a super quick walk and owners have provided a beach buggy for easy transport of your chairs/drinks/umbrella. Once you are tired of the sand relax on the patio or pool deck and enjoy the beautiful new pool or hot tub. A wonderfully pleasing space to enjoy the outdoors even after dark with the mood boosting party lights. Tastefully decorated with comfortable beds and nice layout giving two small families a little privacy since there are two bedrooms on each side of the house with the common area in the middle. Lots of deck space where you can enjoy the sunrise or sunset! Owners are very responsive and invested in your great experience. Highly recommend this property!

I just wanted to say we had an amazing time at Salt on the Rim last week. The house was perfect. Clean, well equipped, excellent location, I could go on and on. It sure was tough heading out on Friday. Kids are already asking when we can come back. I’ll be looking at a long weekend in the fall I think.

4 ladies & 2 labs had a fantastic stay here in early July. Everything the owners say about the place – location, amenities, cleanliness, etc. – is 100% accurate! The kitchen was beyond well-equipped & had everything you could need. Example: can openers, kitchen scissors. Location was on a nice quiet street w sidewalks so easy to walk or use bikes provided. The beach cart with fat tires made taking chairs, umbrella etc to the beach so easy. Very clean, well maintained. The new pool, hot tub and pool area was delightful & we spent lots of time there, when not at beach. Beautifully decorated, we all loved the mattresses. Highly recommend renting this house & the owners were easy to communicate with.
Very pleasant beach house

Don’t wait….Book today and I promise you will LOVE this amazing house! I’ve booked many “oceanfront” houses but, in reality, they should have been called “dune front.” Saltwater Sunrise is truly oceanfront as you can see the ocean while sitting on the living room couch or while eating at the dining room table or even while doing the dishes!! I love to cook so we eat most of our meals at the house and this kitchen is loaded. The gate on the deck was perfect so we didn’t have to worry about our sweet dog and they even have a foot wash on the deck to clean our sandy toes after walking on the beach. The beds were very comfortable which is usually another issue we have at rentals. This house was also perfectly clean and we really loved the decor. Thank you for sharing your amazing house with us!!

Perfect Week! (SS)
Simply Glorious!
This amazing beach cottage is even better than pictures can show or words can describe. After working in healthcare during COVID and not have a real get away vacation for too long because of restrictions this place is just what the doctor ordered! The ocean views are breathtaking and even though I’m typically not up early on vacation couldn’t help myself and had to be up for the gorgeous sunrise each morning. A few hours on the deck just looking and listening to the ocean washed the stress away and was sooooo relaxing! The house is adorable and so well maintained. Came loaded with things we never used but all the extras were appreciated!Superb location with great access to anything you’d need for an amazing week away! Can’t wait to go again next year!
