We really enjoyed staying at Tommy’s place. Beautiful views from the second floor, great layout, stocked kitchen, very comfortable beds and sitting areas. Access to the beach was super easy, and having the wagon and beach chairs made it so easy. I also really appreciated how responsive Tommy was each time we asked a question. Without fail he responded within minutes or within the hour. We had to contend with Hurricane Erin so his availability was super helpful. We plan to come back!!

Piece of Paradise

Our stay at the Salty Wahoo was wonderful. Tommy and Danielle were easy to communicate with and everything was clean upon arrival. The location is perfection at the south side of Nags Head and walking to the beach was a breeze. The only negative was the grill. I had read previous reviews prior to our trip regarding the grill. On our second night, we planned to grill burgers. Upon trying to light the grill, we noticed charcoal was placed in the propane grill, therefore making it inoperable. I notified Tommy and he apologized for the inconvenience, however not one step was taken to rectify the situation. We still had five more nights remaining at this property and heard no more regarding the grill. That was disappointing as we had hoped to use the grill throughout our stay. With that being said, I would stay here again, hopefully with an operable grill.

24-hour amazing views (+We brought too much stuff!)

One of my main goals for any beach vacation is to catch at least one sunrise and sunset. At the Salty Wahoo, we saw both—every day! Just go out on a deck and they’re right there for you. And the stargazing at night is phenomenal. This has to be the cleanest, best-stocked rental we have ever had the pleasure of visiting. We brought our usual armament of supplies because I didn’t trust the listing, but the owners thought of everything. No last-minute runs to the store needed. The only snafu we had was getting the grill to work. In all fairness, we shouldn’t have waited until the burgers were ready to go on to check it, and the owners were responsive when I messaged them about the problem. Thank you so much for providing a comfortable home base for a much-needed relaxing getaway.

Salty Wahoo Aug 2024

What an incredible week! The Salty Wahoo was the perfect choice for our OBX getaway; it is both beautifully decorated and cozy. The perfect location in South Nags Head, close enough to make a grocery run but secluded enough that the beach was never crowded. It was so nice to be able to use the beach wagon which made transporting all the beach ‘necessities’ so much easier, as well as the extra chairs and large cooler. And of course the hot tub was a great way to unwind at the end of the day. It was absolutely perfect, and we look forward to returning!

Nice beach home for our family

This is the 2nd time we’ve stayed at this house because our family said it was their favorite one we’ve stayed in. We like that it has a fully stocked kitchen, a nice hot tub, plenty of beds for everyone. Also, the little rooms to have some quiet time when needed. Oh, and so close to the beach with a buggy to load up and roll to the ocean. The hosts are real nice and helpful.

My entire family enjoyed our stay immensely! This house suited us perfectly. It was spotlessly clean, nicely decorated, and very comfortable. Its location ar the southern end of Nags Head was perfect for our plans to explore the Outer Banks. Very easy access to the beach. We visited Roanoke, Hatteras, and Duck and loved it all! Would highly reccomend this property and it's hosts.
