Tennis, One-level in Southern Shores! Steps to the sand! Hot Tub, SS0019
Welcome to Summersalt — Your Seaside Sanctuary in Southern Shores Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac just steps from the pristine sands of Southern Shores, Summersalt is the ultimate beach retreat for families seeking a blend of serenity, convenience, and coastal charm. With no busy roads to cross, you’re just a few barefoot strides from the private beaches that make this part of the Outer Banks so special.
Wake up to the scent of salt air and unwind on the expansive decks—whether you prefer basking in the sun or relaxing in the shade, there’s a perfect spot for every moment of the day. The ocean-facing hot tub is a guest favorite, offering a front-row seat to both sunrise serenity and starlit evenings, year-round.
Inside, Summersalt offers the comfort and space your family needs to fully relax. Outside, you’re perfectly positioned: a short drive north brings you to the boutique shops, restaurants, and charm of Duck, while heading south leads you to iconic attractions like the Wright Brothers Memorial, Roanoke Island Aquarium, and the fishing docks of Oregon Inlet.
For those craving adventure, a day trip north to Carova delivers unforgettable memories. Cruise along the unpaved beaches and spot the legendary Wild Horses that roam freely—whether by guided tour or your own 4x4 (if you dare!). This is the Outer Banks at its most wild and wondrous.
Whether you're soaking in the hot tub with an ocean breeze, enjoying peaceful porch mornings with coffee in hand, or watching the kids run carefree to the beach, Summersalt is more than just a place to stay—it's the backdrop to the memories you'll treasure for years.

Loved this house! The open interior, large covered deck and hot tub were a big hit. And just a 2 minute walk to the beach was a plus! we'll be back!

Another great year at the shore. The house was clean and well-stocked.
Summer salt is a lovely property. Although it states ocean views and does not, the house was more than adequately stocked. Full kitchen and anything you could need. Quiet area but close to restaurants. Basic cable would be a plus.
We were very excited for this vacation. And Summersalt House did not disappoint! Beautiful home, the perfect size for us. Everything was immaculate. We ordered the linen package which made things so much easier. Just a short walk from the beach, close to shops, restaurants, etc. The hot tub was wonderful, and there is a porch swing in the front where I loved to drink my coffee and read in the morning. Really a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this home!

The house was in a great location and everything was as described in the listing. The house has obviously been recently updated. Beds and furniture were comfortable. Kitchen was very well stocked with plenty of dishes, cookware, and utensils. Most importantly everything was very clean.

Great place for a small family! Newly renovated and comfortable place to stay! I liked the layout as all the living area was in the middle and the bedrooms were off to the side. Cozy and roomy for our stay. Everything we needed and super quick walk to the beach. The best is the house feels secluded and not too close to the other houses. Definitely recommend. :)

Reviewer Comments:
Overall the negatives of our stay ought weighed the positives. It felt like there were preventable issues with this property that took our stay from wonderful to poor. When we arrived the counters were clean and rugs vacuumed but we also found dirty underware under a bed. There was a bug issue (roaches observed on the walls and counter in the kitchen.) You could hear the skittering of the bugs in the walls at night, even after someone came to spray. We observed bug traps over the kitchen cabinets that would indicate the bug infestation is a known issue. The signage in the home and the information provided in the app and via email was not accurate/inconsistent for things like Wifi and trash etc.The hot tub cleaner showed up at 8am on check out day. Could that not wait until we were out at 10? My daughter got a splinter from touching the wall in her room. (Bedroom adjacent to the hot tub)The security gates at the deck stairs did not latch.I am unsure if you were supposed to provide things like hand soap and trash bags but they were not present/enough for our stay. (i.e. No hand soap in a bathroom and 2 bags for the stay.)As a positive, your staff was very responsive and professional.I would likely avoid renting a property managed by your rental company again given our experience.

Fantastic house and a wonderful location. Two wishlist items, iron/ironing board, and WiFi booster, the signal was very weak. Otherwise, I have zero complaints, I am looking forward to next year already.

We stayed in Summersalt for a long, 4-day weekend in July. The house was the perfect size for the 7 of us. It was clean, with a nice kitchen and family room area. We especially liked the nice large shaded porch and the hot tub. The house included 3 nice beach bikes and lots of beach chairs, boogie boards and beach umbrellas. It is a very short walk to the beach and convenient to grocery stores and restaurants.

From the photos you could tell that there had been some updates to this property but it's always tough to know for sure how nice a place is until you're there. We were very happy with the property, the owners made some nice updates while keeping the charm on an OBX cottage. The layout is great, 1 king bed on one side connected by a jack and jill bathroom to a twin room then a queen size bedroom on the other side connected by another jack and jill bathroom to another twin bedroom. My husband and I stayed in the King size bedroom and the mattress was very comfortable. My 2 children stayed in the twin rooms (1 in a pack and play and 1 in a bed) and we were pleasantly surprised that the rooms had blinds and curtains. This is always nice when the kids go to sleep before the sun goes down so the rooms can actually get dark. The patio and patio swing were wonderful as well as the hot tub. The hot tub was actually hot when we got there as well so we got to use it the first night instead of having to wait for it to heat up. We ate at the house most of the week and found it equipped to handle cooking basic meals. The location of the house is great, the street is very private so the beach is also less crowded than other areas. It was an easy walk across the street to the beach for us, including my 4 year old and even my 16 month old could walk it. We did go up to Duck a couple of times and it was only a 10 minute drive. We used the beach cart and boogie boards in the storage unit which was nice to not have to bring or rent those items. The enclosed outside shower was wonderful to rinse off the sand before going into the house. All and all we were very happy with this house and would definitely stay here again.
