Such a great place to stay. Really close to the beach and includes everything you need for a beach day. There are even toys of the little ones. We took walks every day and there is a ton of stuff close enough to walk to.
Close to the beach, awesome house, responsive host

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 loved starting at this VRBO home and would book it again! Wonderful location (1 minute walk to the beach), plenty of beach times available to use in the home and great communication from our host.

Adorable Beach Cottage
This was our second year in a row to stay at the Salty Shrimp! The location is so close to many great restaurants, & a short walk to the beach from the home. Everything was so clean, very well-stocked with essentials. We would not hesitate to book here again!
We stayed here for a week and loved it. Great location and amenities within the home. The host was communicative and made sure we were taken care of. We would definitely stay in this home again!
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!
Wonderful week of rest and relaxation at the Salty Shrimp cottage. Great location, very clean and cozy!!

Great location
Cottage was well located near beach. Very clean and well supplied making cottage feel like home. The front screened porch was perfect for setting and relaxing out of the sun.
Perfect location!! Short walk to beach! Restaurants close enough to walk. Perfect size for our family of 4. Nice and clean and lots of great amenities! We would definitely stay here again!!
The cottage was spectacularly clean, so cute with the retro kitchen. Great location, and the host, Bridgett, was very kind and responsive to our inquiries. Oh and the pumpkin bread in the welcome basket was delicious!

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.
Cozy and comfortable home. Walking distance to the beach was perfect with two little children and a dog. Home was as listed and the welcome gifts were great. Would highly recommend for small families or group of friends.

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.
My husband and I stayed here with our 5 year-old daughter and two dogs. We loved this property. It was very clean and very close to the beach access. Loved the screened in porch. Close to lots of activities and restaurants. Will definitely be looking to book this house again in the future.

Fabulous!
We loved our stay at The Salty Shrimp & can't wait to return. The house is in such a convenient location for the beach, stores and shopping. The house is comfortable and welcoming & the owners went above & beyond in personal touches for us & our pups. Thank you so much for sharing your home & your hospitality! : )
We had an incredible time at the Salty Shrimp! The communication with the host was exceptional and the welcome basket was a nice surprise. The cottage was clean, charming and in a great location. 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. Evenings on the porch was nice way to end the eventful day. We would definitely come back!
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. We will be back!
