Salt & Light: Charming Contemporary Studio, Dog-friendly and Close to the Beach!

My husband and I loved our stay in the OBX with our two dogs. The place was exactly what we needed and the walk to the beach was better than we had thought it would be. Convenient outdoor shower and laundry area. We will most definitely be looking here to visit again in the future.

Clean, convenient to beach, restaurants, shopping. Just what we needed for a quick trip to the shore!

Cozy studio located close to the ocean and sound. Short walk to beach access. Quiet neighborhood. Bring your own toilet paper if you’re going to stay more than a couple of days. Only one roll provided. Overall great stay and would return.

Only issue was lack of toilet paper & paper towels. Everything else was great

PROs - Location, location, location. Off the main drag, but without road noise, and walkable to public beach access, Jeanette's Pier, restaurants and shops. Fairly clean, and convenient having a kitchenette and some dishes. Helpful that the TV swivels for viewing from the dinette and from the bed (since you can't really watch it from the couch). Great that we were able to bring our pup, and there was a small grassy area out back. The mattress was comfy. Complementary gift certificate for 1/2 dozen Duck Donuts was a nice touch. CONs - NO Soundproofing to speak of. If there is a tenant in the upstairs rental, You Will Hear Everything. Every footstep, discussion, television show...and loudly. Our dog was concerned, thinking strangers were trying to break in (much barking ensued). Very little sleep while they were there (first night). Apartment clean and appeared to be fairly recently updated, but the place had an underlying scent - worn and tired, like damp basement and old ashtrays. The bedspread has seen better days. Modestly appointed kitchenette; dishes were sparse and there was little mismatched cutlery. Had trouble navigating the Roku and a message to the host went unanswered, but we finally saw instructions on the back of the channel guide and figured it out. All in all, a decent stay for the price, like going to a roadside motel from the 70s that has had a cosmetic makeover. It's okay, but we won't be back.

Very clean studio apt that is right across the street from beach access. Enjoyed our stay!

Several dead cockroaches upon arrival. We then noticed several other ones during our stay and had to leave early because we did not feel comfortable staying another night. You can hear the neighbors above you too.

Clean and quiet , next to boardwalk / beach perfect for two of us and 1 dog

When we arrived, the room was very clean.. but did see bugs, roaches from time to time.. It seemed we didn't Communicate Very Well with whomever (several Different) people who we contacted.. Room was nice, but the Friendlyness of whom we were in contact with, the few times i needed something, wasnt the greatest.. I didn't get messages about how to leave room, until after i had already left, so i Didnt follow instructions.. Sry about that.. The People who stayed above us in other unit, were VERY loud.. Could Hear EVERYTHING that went on above us.. Day an NIGHT.. Very Disappointing.. We Wont be coming back..or Recommending..! The last place we stayed at a few years ago, in Kill Devil Hills.. There welcome basket included a bottle of Wine and Small Chocolates, a vase of Fresh Flowers.. .. yalls was 6 donuts... 😕 So i guess we Will Be Going Back To Kill Devil Hills in Future Stays..

The apartment is in a great spot, short walk to the beach, near restaurants and shopping. Well taken care of and clean. Appreciated being able to bring our two dogs. We would definitely stay there again!

Very clean and comfortable, just across the Virginia Dare Trail from the Glidden Beach access. The king size bed was quite comfortable, and the small loveseat was adequate for watching TV on rainy afternoons and evenings. The kitchen was small with the basic tools needed for a weeklong trip for two people. The Dunes restaurant is basically right next door, and the outlet mall is just across the highway. The communication was clear, friendly, and proactive. I was particularly grateful for that when we inadvertently locked ourselves out and Lisa came right away to let us in. This is perfect for a stay in Nags Head, and I look forward to a return visit!

No complaints just a suggestion...when the carpet wears out put in tile...those lil sand burs getcha...only issue for us folks upstairs were very loud ....

We had a great time in Nags Head. Our stay was comfortable and as expected, per reviews and descriptions of property. Recommended for only one or two people. Easy access to beach!

Nice, clean, great for two people! Needs a few more dishes and silverware.

Stayed here over Labor Day Weekend with my girlfriend, and this place is so convenient for the beach (a 2-3 minute walk directly across the street) or for other activities up and down OBX. The only thing I might suggest is more utensils for those who prefer eating in rather than going out to eat. Otherwise, I would happily stay here again if I'm in Nags Head in the future!

Perfect setup for solo traveler or a couple. In the heart of Nags Head.

This is a perfect location to get to any area of the outer banks.The property manager sent very good recommendations for places to eat, which is helpful for a visitor. Great shower!I missed not having a closet but the dresser accommodated most of my items. Best of all, a great beach less than a block away.

My husband and I just stayed August 24-28 and it was such a nice getaway from home life,it’s super close to the beach, just a walk across the street, it’s such a cute comfortable studio just the right size for us & our little Yorkie. Will definitely stay again. Lisa and Mike the caretakers are so nice & Amy was great !

The condo was very cozy and clean. Perfect for me my bf. Had an amazing breakfast at The Dunes Restaurant that is in walking distance of the condo. We had dinner at Bonzer’s Shack one evening and it was very good and great service. Everything was amazing but I have to give an extra shoutout and thank you to Amy for being so helpful and accommodating. The afternoon of the day before we were supposed to head home (a Sunday) our starter went out on our truck and being that it was a Sunday there were no mechanics open to help us until Monday morning. I reached out to Amy and we are so grateful she was able to extend our check out time to give us some extra time to have our truck repaired so we could get home. Shoutout to Seto’s wrecker and repair services. We were able to speak with the manager on the phone Sunday afternoon and they were so kind to put us at the very start of their Monday to get the truck repaired to help us get home at a reasonable time Monday evening. Other than this hiccup in our plans we had a wonderful time on and off the beach in OBX. Hope to be back soon. Amy, your hospitality will always stay in my memory of this trip, we hope to stay at your place again in the future!

Our stay was great! The host was very accommodating and took extra time to ensure a meaningful experience. We loved our trip! We would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a dog-friendly, close to the beach place to stay at OBX!

This property was perfect for our needs with a baby and a dog. Very close to the beach. The owner was very kind and helpful, definitely recommend!!

Great pet friendly studio with responsive host/caretakers! Thanks for a great stay!

Staying at this property was wonderful. Literally a block and a half to the access for an amazing white sand beach. We had a lovely family of five staying upstairs, and sometimes they were a little noisy, however, we had already made friends with them, and found that many people staying in the area were extremely friendly and helpful. If living on the beach and cooking out of the modestly appointed, full-size kitchen are not your jam, there are other activities that are equally fun and entertaining. A couple of codicils, for sure, bring your own pillows, additional toilet paper, and cleaning supplies, and if you look to eat out, make sure you’re making reservations well in advance. The hosts are very responsive, and give you lists of places to go and eat, and activities that you might like to do.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Outer Banks and this quaint little hideaway was icing on the cake. Compact, but cozy and comfortable. The well thought out kitchen with just enough to make meals easy. The location was perfect for either day excursions or a very short walk to the beach. We really hope to return soon!
