Perfect Accommodations

Our stay in Salvo exceeded all expectations. Upon arrival, the home was spotless and thoughtfully prepared, complete with delicious snacks and welcoming touches throughout. Every detail was considered—from fully stocked kitchen amenities to laundry supplies and personal accents that made us feel right at home.We were able to enjoy every part of the property and truly appreciated the care that went into creating a comfortable and inviting space. The owner was incredibly attentive and communicative, providing helpful details both before and during our stay. This is undoubtedly a property we would love to book again.

Fantastic

We had an amazing vacation thanks to Lori and Salvobx! The home was perfect for our family. It had everything we needed and more! We spent most of our time in the screened porch playing games and enjoying the breeze and sound of the ocean. The walk to beach was not not long at all and took maybe 8 mins. We have zero complaints and can’t wait to return!!

Close to beach access and bigger than it looks

My family had a blast! The house is bigger than it looks in the pictures, the main living area is huge and was enough for the 7 of us with room to spare. Beach access is only a few houses down the block, it took us about 5-10 mins tops to get to the beach carrying all of our stuff. The area is just beautiful, we went to Avon, Waves and Manteo and even bought a huge kite! We found a ton of cool shells and even had a bonfire on the beach one night and made s'mores. It was fantastic.

All The Right Ingredients

The property has all of the right features for a great Outer Banks experience. The house/rooms are very well kept with a very simple "Beach Box" design - 4 bedrooms, kitchen, appropriately sized living room and nice screened in porch facing the road. It can't take longer than 10 minutes to walk to the surf. This place is perfect for those who treasure their time on the beach.

Perfect Beach Family Getaway

Salvobx was they perfect fit for our family get together. Comfortable beds, a well stocked kitchen, fabulous screened in porch, great outdoor shower for rinsing off the sand, storage area for beach items, and minutes away from an incredible beach. (As noted before, if you are into cooking you may want to bring your own knives/cutting boards) Salvo is a quiet little town, with a short drive to the attractions in the north or to Hatteras to the south. Lorri was one of the best hostesses we have ever had in our 20+ years using VRBO. We will definitely be recommending this rustic little gem to others.

Great house in a quiet neighborhood

The house was exactly as described and was the prefect place for our family of four! The kitchen includes most of what you need, but if you cook a lot (or are particular with the tools you use) I would definitely recommend you bring your favorite pot/pan/knife as with any rental they may not have exactly what you want or need to prep. Access to the beach was a 5 minutes walk with the beach entrance about 100 feet from the driveway. We had no issues lugging all the things you need to keep two young kids happy on the beach. Lorri was great and provided a ton of information up front before our arrival that helped tremendously. We experienced one slight issue, but she took care of it immediately and all was good. We know things can happen and it's the response of the owner that matters more than anything else. Lorri was great, and we wouldn't hesitate to stay at one of her properties again!

Great family getaway

We love this area and had stayed in Rodanthe for years, first time staying in Salvo. The home offered plenty of space for our party of 7, plus our two dogs. Lorrie is an incredible host and was available for anything we needed! The porch is definitely a favorite! Short walk to the beach, the beach area was incredible ! We enjoyed the house set up, the beds were so comfy and the outdoor shower is awesome! I am really picky about cleanliness and the house was perfect! I highly recommend this property and can't wait to stay there again.

Where’s Salvo?

That was what we said when this home showed up on VRBO. Perfect location! Very short and easy walk to the ocean, Hatteras water sports across the street, older kids could bike to Salvo day use area (spectacular sunsets), short ride to ice cream and quick grocery items and our new favorite Atlantic Coast Cafe! The house was nice, comfy, well stocked, the Salvobx Yeti cups came in handy! Will stay again!
