We had an incredible time at the Salty Shrimp! The communication with the host was exceptional and the welcome basket was a nice surprise. The cottage was clean, charming and in a great location. Being so close to the beach was so convenient! We loved riding the bikes around the neighborhoods and stopping at the little shops along the way. Evenings on the porch was nice way to end the eventful day. We would definitely come back!

We had a great stay in Nags Head! The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach, which made it easy to take advantage of every break in the weather. While the weather wasn’t ideal for most of the trip, being so close to the ocean allowed us to squeeze in beach time between storms. Communication with the host was excellent throughout our stay. Overall, a convenient and comfortable spot for a beach getaway!

Perfect Place!

The Salty Shrimp was the perfect location, clean, inviting, and comfy. They had accessories for our dog, board games and toys, and lots of beach gear. We had such a great time here with access to so many shops and restaurants in the general area, and even though it rained every day of our trip we made it to the beach every day with just a super short one block walk. We will be back!

Loved our first trip to the Outer Banks!

This cottage was perfect for us!! It was so clean! Bridgett communicated the details with us and was very responsive if we had a question. The popcorn and sweet bread were both delicious. The coffee was great! We definitely plan on returning. One of the highlights of our trip was “The Wild Horse Adventure Tour!” It’s located in Corolla. It did not disappoint! They use a 12 passenger Hummer as their transport vehicle. Everyone has a great view as well as a comfy seat. Our tour guide, Jeanea, was the best ever!! We are now in love with the Outer Banks!!

Quaint, Cozy Cottage

Perfect beach cottage! Loved this beach access - one block from the access itself - quick 2 minute walk down the sidewalk. Can run back to the cottage for lunch, check on your pooch, snag more snacks, etc. Access has a wooden ramp w/out steps and a "beach carpet" that extends a little ways over the dune. You could also just walk the sandy ramp which was mostly flat. The neighborhood was quiet and perfect for bike rides and morning walks. The side yard was great for letting our dog get a little exercise in. The house itself was spotless! The cleanest house we've ever stayed in! Little beach decorations in all the right places, comfy beds, cool retro kitchen appliances, front porch was screened and perfect for people watching, enjoyed the back deck,e tc etc etc. If we could add something to make this house an even better place to stay, we'd add a second bathroom, or a half bath at least. It was challenging for all 5 of us to use the same bathroom, but we made it work for the week. The communication was awesome as well and we appreciate everything that goes into getting a house ready for a family to have a super beach vacay! Would definitely rent again in the future!

The property is older, needs some work but it was very clean even though it allows dogs, but you would never know that its that clean. Our contact Bridgette was very nice and easy to work with. Only complaint was it stated it had 3 TV's, which it did but only 1 TV worked in living room with cable, the other 2 in 2 of the 3 bedrooms did not work at all. There was no cable attached to them , had DVD's? Not sure why? does anyone use DVD players anymore?

Lived up to all the reviews and then some!

The Salty Shrimp lived up to every review and then some! Location is perfect! Literally open the door and walk a short block to the ocean! So many shops and places to eat within walking distance. Super convenient to be able to order a groceries and only take a 5 to 10 minute drive to pick up. Every type of restaurant within a 5 to 10 minute walk. The house was super clean and well taken care of. We were delighted to walk in and find a cute welcome basket with fresh blueberry lemon bread! The house has everything you will need to enjoy a day at the beach or a cookout on the back deck. Fully equipped kitchen. Beds were super comfy. Open all thebl windows and listen to the ocean waves and enjoy the breeze! Didnt have any issues and the only 2 times i had to reach out to local management they were super quick to respond and went out of their way to give us some great insight on places to eat and sight seeing info. Easy check in and check out process. Simply couldnt have been a better experience! Will DEFINITELY be back to stay again but will probably add a few days!

We love the Salty Shrimp! The short walk to the beach, convenience of nearby shopping and the ambience of the property, not to mention the hosts are fantastic. If driving isn't your thing, everything is in walking distance- grocery, restaurants, beach; there's a grill in the back and charcoal is available. You can literally unpack the car and spend the week walking or biking anywhere.
