About the host
Hosted by Danna Cullen
I grew up in Virginia Beach but lived in Manhattan for 20 years beginning in college. I graduated from the prestigious Parsons School of Design and became a fashion designer and later a home accessory designer with my own US Trademark brand which was in every major department store and catalog in America for over a decade. After retiring from design work I became a stay at home mother and cut flower gardener and wrote a very well received local pictorial history book about my North End neighborhood in part to hopefully inspire folks to protect and preserve the last remaining vintage beach cottages in the North End like c.1936 Salt Heir. Our classic beach cottage reflects an attention to detail which embraces form as much as function while giving a hat tip to its vintage roots in the most respectful way. The sea glass palette and nautical design details used throughout the space were inspired by my mother’s childhood summers spent at a family cottage in Nantucket owned by her great Aunt Leila Laughlin Carlisle who took a significant role in protecting and preserving old Nantucket about 100 years ago. Her style and influence for investing in high quality timeless antique pieces resonates. Our dining room table for example is c.1700’s and our executive desk is a stunning carved Horner c.1880’s. Salt Heir offers a classic vintage beach cottage experience with elevated luxurious details that afford guests a unique peek into the world Aunt Leila, one of America’s last great steel heiresses, would have approved of. Thus the name “Salt Heir”.
Why they chose this property
The North End isn’t just a place it’s a state of mind. It’s unlike any other beachfront neighborhood I’ve ever encountered. Our amazing location is one block from the golden beaches lining the Atlantic Ocean and one block from First Landing State Park which offers many beautiful hiking trails as well as a little beach that families adore because it’s boat friendly and draws a more local crowd than the beach. Whether beaching or hiking is your jam, Salt Heir is only a 20 minute drive from an international Airport. We have an optional street legal golf cart option that you can take advantage of so getting around the commercial oceanfront is easy to enjoy. What are you waiting for, your dream vacation awaits!
What makes this property unique
It’s rare to find a vintage beach cottage available to rent in the North End that has been elevated to such a luxurious level. We’ve spared no expense in creating the most comfortable home including the highest quality mattresses from Willis Wayside, top of the line kitchen appliances, high quality rugs including a hand knitted wool rug in the living room and a gas fireplace that’s super easy to use. Our couch is a custom leather from Pottery Barn, our beds are all tufted carved wood from Wayfair. We use Pottery Barn linen black out curtains on the windows as well as plantation shutters to block out the sun. The living room and all bedrooms feature LG smart TV’s where you may access basic cable options or Netflix. We have two outdoor seating areas one overlooking our cut flower garden in the front and a more private deck with a grill & outside shower in the back.
