Wonderful!

We had a great week at the Salty Shrimp. Weather was cooler but still had the sun most days. The cottage is so close to the beach just a short walk. Everything was clean and comfortable and the host Bridgett was wonderful. We enjoyed the bikes the deck and the front porch. So close to restaurants and Jockey Ridge State Park. We will definitely be back. Thank you Bridgett for sharing your home!

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!

Great stay!

We love the cozy and convenient Salty Shrimp. We have stayed there a number of times. The hosts are very kind and responsive. The location is a short walk to a stairfree beach access and near many restaurants and other attractions. The house is comfortable and cute. We enjoyed evenings relaxing in the rocking chairs on the screened-in front porch. We have had wonderful stays there.

Home away from home

There is a very good reason we keep coming back to the Salty Shrimp year after year. The house is always very clean and comfortable. The central location to either Corrolla or Hatteras or any point between is perfect. We have tried a few other homes in the area and each time regret not going home to the Salty Shrimp. Thank you Bridgette and Andy. We look forward to next year.

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.

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.
