Very nice

This is a beautiful location. I was hoping for a better view of the ocean from the cabana, but it's a quick walk to get there. Be sure to read the entire message in VRBO - there's lots of information that slipped by me because I skimmed - my bad! Loved the few days we were there even with once full day of rain.

Peaceful beach cabana

The cabana was so cute and peaceful. If you have a lifted truck you will not fit under the cabana but there were a few spots to park which worked out. The sun deck had a perfect view of the beach and it was a very short walk to the beach. The location was perfectly placed between hatteras village and Frisco.I would highly recommend this adorable cabana.

Quick getaway

We enjoyed our stay however when we did encounter an issue (the AC stopped working on our last day) We could not get in touch with host. I left two messages and called once and was never contacted. We left a note for the cleaners so that hopefully it would get to the host and the issue could be fixed prior to new renters coming in.

Cabana Stay

We have a wonderful week staying in Log Shaker of Salt. The good far outweighed the bad. Minor bads: The Two large stove burners didn’t work, CD player didn’t work “nocd” code for multiple disks. No problem for us, as we don’t usually watch TV on vacation. They can use a high table on top deck for snacks and drinks while watching the sunset. Overall fine vacation. with Netflix and Prime.

Beautiful little cabana

I loved the little cabana. Very close to the beach and cabana was attractive and clean. Didn’t have any communications with the host but didn’t need them as instructions were very clear on VRBO site and did get the needed final check in instructions three days before my checkin date which was exactly what it said on Vrbo site. I would come back to the cabanas.

In Need Of Repairs & Maintenance

The owner(s) of unit #22 have not maintained it. The pictures have to be 10+ years old. They furniture on the main deck is falling apart; we could not use the table and benches at all. The other furniture needs a good cleaning. The rooftop deck should not be used; the structural bolts are completely rusted and while we were there, part of that decking fell off and landed on the deck below right in front of the entrance to the home. The first floor “tiki bar” area was a complete mess; it is dirty and has not been maintained. Inside the house was okay; however, it is in need of maintenance as well. The kitchen faucet leaks and the bed is HORRIBLE. I messaged the “host” however I have not received a response.

Read all the reviews for this place disaster

No communication until a fire alarm was going off. Attempted communication for almost a month to my stay. Erin L refused to respond to emails, voice calls, and text messages not only thru me but from vrbo until we message saying their for alarm was disconnected due to continued beeping. VRBO couldn't resolve any issues because Erin would not respond to any contact. The decks were dirty and nasty. The top balcony was unsafe, The outside table was broken and the bar below the place was so filthy we couldn't use it. You are in the 7th cabana from the walk way to get to the beach. The pictures are misleading and they obvously have no pride in their property. Trash was in the parking area and storage. The fridge got extremely hot, which means it's about to go. The floor inside was dirty. The blind was damaged. Even their neighbor who owns the property right next door said every guest complains about Erin and her 2 properties there and lack of communication or giving a care about their needs. This was our honeymoon and all the ongoing issues and stressed that was added on by Erin refusal to respond. I Messaged her numbers today to complain directly to her once again about not responding and she threatened me with a complaint against me? Lol. I have already filed a consumer complaint against her and vrbo, in the process of filling Better business bureau complaints in Hatteras as well as Virginia Beach where they reside.

A great vacation.

We had a wonderful stay. In spite of a few mishaps. The community was very pleasant. Everywhere we traveled in the area all of the people were very polite and had lots to share. There is no need to be concerned about safety however, always just be cautious about your surroundings. We ventured out with our bikes for several days to check out our neighborhood. We even did two boat rides. The first was a mini cruise to see the sunset beautiful. The other was to go fishing. We definitely will return to this place again.
