Great getaway in Nags Head! The top floor living space is lovely and we enjoyed hours of games and beautiful views of the sunrise and sunsets. The private back deck and lush scenery was a welcome view. The beds are super comfortable (always critical!) and the beach is only a short walk away. The hot tub was perfect for the only rainy day we had. The owner is incredibly responsive and truly wants you to have a great vacation. Thank you!

A relaxing week at the beach

Great location and views of the sound for the sunset, the sunrise and very great star gazing. The couches / beds are very comfortable and the house has a very open nice feel. The decks are great to catch some rays or read a book. Very nice place ! Would recommend for sure.

Family and friends long weekend

We enjoyed our stay in south Nags Head. The property is very nice and check-in / check-out were easy. We missed the fact that we needed to bring our own soap, shampoo, etc so posting that here for future guests in case they miss it in the other materials as we did. The beds were very comfortable, which is not always the case at rental properties.

Great house, great location

The Reel Salt is a very comfortable house convenient to several beach access points. Only about a mile down South Oregon Inlet road, it’s close enough to Nags Head restaurants and shopping, but out of the traffic. Tracy was very responsive and an excellent communicator. Outstanding experience overall!

Great time in South Nags Head!

Can’t recommend this property enough! Clean, updated, comfortable, and welcoming in every aspect. It was perfect for all ages—our kids enjoyed the hot tub and the grandmothers enjoyed sitting on the beautiful deck for happy hour. Just a 3-min walk to the beach made for easy access to the ocean. Tracy was communicative and responsive throughout the whole process and gave us excellent recommendations for dining and activities. We give it 5 stars and will be returning!

Fun Family House

Beautiful, well appointed and clean house. We were fans of the marine blue and white decor. Loved that we could see both the ocean and the sound from the house. Watched the sunrise from the front deck and sunset from the back deck. Short walk to the beach. Owners were very communicative and helpful. Great place for a family with comfy beds, ample bathrooms and a nicely equipped kitchen.

About the host

Hosted by Tracy McDonald

Host profile image
We are a blended family that vacationed in South Nags Head. We were married on the beach here. We bought our first beach house in 2019 and in 2022 we bought this home. We love this area so much and we want to share that love with you.

Why they chose this property

We love this property because it is large enough for two families and it is spacious. South Nags Head is a very family friendly vacationing spot with museums, go karts, putt putt golf and many more activities suited for family time. This property also has a separate are with built-in desk to have any conference calls that you may need to be on if you work from home on your vacation. Each bedroom has a bathroom so no need to wait for a shower. A nice outdoor shower is under the house. This area is also has many opportunities for fishing. (deep sea, near shore, beach, and sound) Check with local tackle shops for more information. This home is a few miles from the Old Oregon Inlet fishing center. It is also close to shopping, restaurants, and activities but the area is quiet and the beaches are not crowded.

What makes this property unique

One thing that struck us when we entered this home was the fact that it was so spacious and open in the upstairs area. Two living spaces, a dining room and kitchen all in the open area. A large hallway in the lower floor keeps all of the bedrooms far enough apart for personal space. Some bedrooms have private balcony areas on the soundside of the house. The laundry room is very large and has a built in desk area for working. Concierge trash service May 1 - Oct 31 means do not have to take the can to the street or bring it back. Just fill the can making sure the lid will close and everything else is done for you. Trash pick up is Monday and Thursday.
