About this property

Salvo Sandbox: Ocean-Side, Dog-Friendly Cottage near the Beach


Adorable “beach box” home located only 2 building lots from the incredible Salvo beach and close to Pamlico Sound. Sleeps eight with 2 bedrooms having queen beds, one having 2 twin beds and a Pirate-themed bunk bedroom for the little ones. Additionally there is a queen sleeper sofa in the Living Room for overflow sleeping. A beautiful, enclosed front porch offers additional year-round living space. Fun and cozy outdoor living with two large side decks and a wonderful ‘crows nest’ deck with a small strip of ocean view - perfect for enjoying those incredible Hatteras Island sunrises & sunsets! New for 2024, all 3 decks have been improved with new railings, floorboards and built-in benches, plus some new TREX free-standing furniture. Large concrete private driveway and area beneath house with picnic table for additional outdoor entertainment. Lighted fish cleaning station with nearby hose.

Other amenities include: 2 Flat screen TVs with Rokus and Spectrum app with local channels, many general channels & 15 ‘cable’ channels including sport channels, HGTV, Discovery, etc, 500-mbps internet, stackable washer/dryer, park-style grill, outdoor shower, and a well-equipped kitchen which includes a dishwasher, new dishes and knives, both Keurig & pot-style coffee makers, 2 blenders, toaster & hand mixer.

Non-smoking (inside house, on porches & decks). Smoking is allowed on concrete area beneath house where picnic table with ashtray is located.

Dog-friendly home for up to 2 dogs (additional $150/week pet fee applies). New 330 sq foot dog run area accessible from side deck door without you going out in bad weather! Fence is wooden, cattle-style and 5 ft high…very sturdy. The fenced area is partly covered & partly uncovered for your dogs comfort in any weather.

Bedspreads, mattress covers, pillows (of various types and firmness), pillow covers and dish cloths ARE included. Bed sheets & bath towels are NOT included but they can be rented (supplier information will be provided by host upon booking).

Beach accessories such as chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and cruiser bikes are not included, but can be rented at many locations in the area. Host can provide nearby providers, if needed.

Even though check-in time is listed as 4:00, in reality the cleaners are normally done (and house available) by 1:00 or 2:00 (however it isn't guaranteed until 6:00 so I split it down the middle). They will post a note on door when it is ready. If you arrive earlier, you can change in the outdoor shower and go to the beach or sound until its ready.

Come enjoy Hatteras Islands’ incredible fishing, beaches & water sports, as well as Salvo’s beauty, serenity and incredible night skies at the Sandbox!

OUTSTANDING
Everything from communication to location was perfect. Could not have asked for a better host. Pam went out of her way to make our stay memorable with special touches like pastry delivery from a local bakery to recommendations for activities. The house is beautiful and super pet friendly with just a short walk to the beach. In a word, OUTSTANDING

Well equipped house and easy access to beach
This is a great spot in Salvo. Pam kept us well informed ahead of our trip and was easy to communicate with when needed. The house is well equipped with most everything you need for a beach trip. The listing is clear with what is NOT provided. It’s an older home, but you tell it’s had some good TLC; example, most all the decking has been replaced or new. There are two beach access points near the house. We would definitely stay here again.

Convenient and comfortable stay
Perfect spot and loved having the fenced in yard for our dog. Everything was well stocked and we enjoyed lounging on the multiple decks. Such a nice surprise to receive fresh baked treats from the host our first morning and we greatly appreciated all the dining and local recommendations.

About the host

Hosted by Pam

Host profile image
I live in the DC-metropolitan area and spend as much time as I can at the Sandbox. It is my little piece of paradise. This isn’t a ‘rental house’ to me…it is my home a good portion of the year and my retirement gift to myself. I rent it during the prime season not to make a profit, but just to enable me to have it. I very much enjoy interacting with my guests and take great pride in the nice comments and reviews I receive.

Why they chose this property

The house is located close to both the ocean and the Salvo Day Use beach area on the Pamlico Sound, which is very convenient. The ocean beaches and dunes in Salvo are very natural and wide, which I love. Generally quiet neighborhood that has several restaurants and food stores nearby, yet not at all commercial. A huge fishing and watersports area.

What makes this property unique

My favorite things about my house are the 3 decks (especially the crows nest which is amazing for morning coffee and starry night skies), the all-season front porch and the dogs fenced-area which makes life so much easier!
