Wonderful home!

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The kitchen had everything we needed, there was plenty of toilet paper and paper towels, cleaning products, soap! We loved the loft which gave us room to spread out. And we took advantage of the pool especially since the ocean didn't cooperate (jellyfish). Very centrally located. I wish our stay had been longer.

Salty Escape is a great place to stay in KDH!

From placing the booking to checkout, all was seamless. The host was very responsive. Bermuda Bay is great for kids of all ages with their pool & volleyball. The ocean was rough (red flags) while we were visiting, so the pool was wonderful. The home was perfect for our family gathering. I would definitely stay at Salty Escape again & would certainly recommend it to others.

Family get together

The condo was amazing! Grandson loved the swimming area! We had two vehicles and got a ticket because it wasn’t parked in our spot because another car was in it! I guess it wasn’t technically our spot according to the property manager! So I would be cautious about multiple vehicles. But definitely would visit again.

Weekend getaway

This is a beautiful house with a nice location. Property managers were nice. The cleanliness of the house… not so nice. We arrived at 4:15, check in was for 4:00. The cleaning service was still there so we had to come back at 4:45. Unfortunately the HVAC wasn’t working but family member was able to fix it and property owner credited him for his work. Don’t know if the maids didn’t finish but the stairs carpets were filthy, previous renters had left there trash in the garage so we had to clean it up so we weren’t held responsible and they left the dirty towels/ linens in front of garage our whole stay. I enjoyed the house but there was definitely some mold going on in the HVAC as well as the laundry washer. There were also dead cockroaches on the first 2 levels. We had a good family experience but they probably need to hire better companies to oversee these issues. Jocelyn was lovely on phone and messanger and we found renting from her pleasant.

Highly Recommend with excellent owner

When we arrived, we took a quick look through to check everything. Unfortunately, the bedroom on the ground floor had an issue: the sliding door didn't work well, and didn't close all the way so there was no way to lock it. On the patio outside of that same room, was the grill. The grill was clearly never cleaned. I notified Jocely immediately, and she was prompt with replying. She got her handyman, Roy, out there within a few hours to fix the door, he checked the grill and told her it was no longer useable, so she ordered a new one. Roy came back out with the new grill the next day while we were out and set it up. He didn't need to come inside so it was pretty easy. Communication with Jocely was great. The following day we were going to run the dishwasher but noticed. there was standing water at the bottom. Again, I contacted Jocely and she sent Roy out pretty quickly to fix it. Thankfully it was an easy fix, so it didn't take long. I forgot to mention that when we first arrived and were checking things out, we noticed a comforter was stained and the washing machine had some gross mildew. There were plenty of extra linens, so we just put the one aside and told the owner about it. We cleaned the washer, too. Two recommendations: be a good renter and clean the grill and leave the washer door open after using it.

The Salty Escape hands down exceeded every expectation. There was plenty of room for our large family and the house was stocked with every necessity. The pool was perfect for the kids and the beach access was just a short trip up the street. Centrally located with so much to do in the area.

Good Location, nice amenities

good spot in KDH. I would suggest arriving at the beach between 10-10:45 for parking if going to the one directly across the road (with bathrooms/showers) parking fills but it's not a deal breaker. The pool house/fitness center were super close and easy to use. The townhome was well kept and appointed. it's a bit tight in the garage/parking pad - we were lucky to snag a visitor's spot for the week and left a car there which gave us room for bikes and all in the garage. The community could use some speed bumps or something. There were several cars racing through the roads there (obviously of no fault of the owner) which made bike riding a little iffy at times. The communication was great - I probably asked too many questions!

There were rip currents for a few days so the pool was a huge plus for us when we couldn’t swim at the beach. We visited the beach every day though at some point. No complaints here!

Great place in Kill Devil Hills

We had a great stay at the Salty Escape. First and most importantly, Jocely was great to work with, incredibly responsive and helpful. Made everything super easy from check in to check out. Nice house, well furnished. Plenty of room for the three of us. Location is right near the Wright Brothers Memorial, you can see it from the front door. We were off-season, so some things were closed, but still plenty to do for our first visit to the Outer Banks. Happy to recommend the Salty Escape.

Fantastic outing in Outer Banks

Salty escape was perfect for two families. We were 8 people and all of us had enough beds very neatly made. Also, the kids enjoyed the bunk beds a lot. There were a lot of DVD disks to watch from and lot of books to read from. The dining room accomodates 10 people and is very spacious. We cooked 4 times in our short stay and we had everything we needed. Jocely, the owner was very responsive and we would like to thank her for this wonderful place.
