Welcome to Salt & Light, Unit 4 at Milepost 16!

Our awesome caretakers, Mike and Lisa, live nearby and are as committed to your experience as we are.



In addition to many local retail shops, fine and casual dining establishments and grocery stores, the cottage is also close to many great local attractions including the beautifully renovated Jennette's Pier (less than one half mile away), the North Carolina Aquarium in Manteo, Jockey's Ridge, Tanger Outlet shopping, Bodie Island Lighthouse, Coquina Beach, and off-roading and fishing at Oregon Inlet.
