Spend your vacation at Saltwater Sanctuary - Our fabulous home is central to an array of Outer Banks attractions, excellent restaurants, shopping, pier fishing and National Parks. Take in all that OBX has to offer and come back to our comfortable home and enjoy your own private saltwater pool !
We have been visiting the OBX for 15 years and are so happy we are able to have a place to call "home" in Nags Head. Our house is located in walking distance to Lucky 12, Surfin' Spoon, Tortuga's, Dowdy Park, Nags Head Fishing Pier which has a great outside bar/restaurant, Morning View and Front Porch coffee shops...... tour Jockey's Ridge and see a great sunset right across the highway from us! Austins Fish Market is a few minute drive, grab some fresh seafood for dinner to cook on the grill and dine poolside or on the picnic table. We are close to the bridge to Manteo - don't miss this gem of a town! Be sure to stop at the Tiki Bar at Blue Water grill and take in the marina - great boutique shops, Lost Colony Brewery for great beer and Ortegaz's for yummy Mexican food and margaritas, Kill Devil Rum tour and tasting, Elizabethan Gardens and the TO DO see the Lost Colony play. Oregon Inlet is a great place to watch the catch come in later afternoons - some monster fish, don't miss it, only a short drive from the house....MP 11.5 is convenient to so many places it's hard to list them all - AND, don't forget the beach - a five minute walk to Bladen Street access or Bainbridge Street access, both offer parking if you'd prefer to drive the two minutes.
Don't feel like walking? We supply TWO adult bikes as well (helmets not provided).
Our shed is stocked with beach chairs, coolers,corn hole and ladder ball - less to pack !
Built in 2010, Saltwater Sanctuary has been beautifully maintained, it shows like a new home. The lower level has a rec room with couch, large flat screen TV with Netflix, full size frig for all your overflow goodies, full bathroom complete with granite countertops and access to the fenced pool area. Our upper level features an open concept living area and kitchen, pantry, washer and dryer, master bedroom with King bed and beautiful attached bath, make-up chair and granite counters and two additional large bedroom with queen beds that share a full bath.
Outside, in addition to the pool area, the front porch offers a shaded seating area as well as a spot in the sun with bar height chairs and a pub table. Underneath the house, enjoy the shade in our comfortable swing hammock chairs.....
We provide bed linens but you will need to bring your own bath and beach towels.

Your best vacation home awaits your arrival....................

Wonderful Rental

We loved our stay at Saltwater Sanctuary! Just a quick walk to the beach and they had all the essentials for a great beach day there too. They had a book of personal recommendations of things to do, which made planning so easy! The property is clean and well maintained and the host was available for any questions. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

The Best

Honestly it has everything you can ask for in a vacation rental. It’s such a great house and this was our second stay and definitely won’t be our last. They pay attention to details and it’s so nice to not have to pack a bunch of extra things to cook etc while traveling. A short walk to the beach and in an excellent location to attractions and restaurants.

Perfect Family Vacation

The house was perfect for our family. The owners have made their beach house feel like a home. We really appreciated all of the extras that are included, ie, beach toys, beach chairs, beach wagon, bikes, etc. House was nicely decorated and kitchen was well-equipped. Pool and hot tub were an added plus. Also, great communication with Danielle. We would definitely stay here again!

My two friends and I were very impressed with this home. It is clean, comfortable, well equipped and beautifully decorated. Since the weather wasn’t great that weekend we spent more time than usual sitting on the front porch and by the pool. Would definitely return to this home and the gracious hosts.

Amazing stay in Nags Head

The property is just as advertised. Walking distance to the beach. Conveniently located to the YMCA, grocery stores, and restaurants. Air conditioning works beautifully. The pool was wonderful. A slight amount of traffic noise, but pretty minimal if the windows were closed. Dina is very communicative, check in process was extremely smooth.

Family Trip to Nags Head

Our family of 6 (4 adults 2 kids) had an amazing time in OBX and the stay at Saltwater Sanctuary was fantastic! The house was very clean, decor was adorable, and the location was great. We could walk to the beach, pier, coffee, or Surfin Spoon! The house was well equipped with everything we could need and we enjoyed riding bikes around. The outdoor areas were great and we spent many hours in the pool. We appreciated the hospitality and communication from Dani! 10/10 would recommend this place for any family. Thanks Dani for letting us enjoy our vacation in your home!

Perfect house

This house is a perfect place to stay in the outer banks. The kitchen is stocked so well, we were able to prepare and cook many meals. The house is cozy and comfortable. The pool is relaxing and fun. It's just a short walk to the beach making it so easy to walk in the morning and evening after a fun day at the beach. The owner is responsive and truly cares about you enjoying your stay. After we checked out, she sent a text with a heads up of traffic on the bridge, we were able to alter our directions and save loads of time on our travel home. It was so thoughtful.

Honeymoon in the OBX

My husband and I had a fantastic stay in the Saltwater Sanctuary. The first thing we noticed was how clean it is! Weve had some pretty bad experiences the past few years in other rentals ,so this was huge to us! There is so much attention to detail and it is a beautifully decorated beach house. One of my favorite details of this house, considering im an avid reader, was the reading material everywhere!! I loved that! The kitchen is also fully stocked with anything we needed.The pool and hot tub are clean and perfect for our use. Short walk to the beach, with supplied beach carts ! We also took advantage of the supplied bikes to ride around the neighborhood, down to the Surfin Spoon for ice cream..and twice to the local Tortugas Lie restaurant. They are both a must try! Location was perfect for shopping on the rainy days and close to the sand dunes . A short drive to Manteo as well which was a super cute town and we enjoyed sailing on the Downeast Rover. Overall a simply amazing vacation experience . Thank you for having us!

Excellent house for fun and relaxation

The Saltwater Sanctuary is a lovely, well-appointed and very clean house just a 5 minute walk from the beach and near so many attractions and restaurants in the area. The proprietress made everything very easy and convenient from check-in to departure. We had a great time, and my family and I loved our stay there.

My wife and I stayed at this house for a week in late July with our two young kids and we loved the house. The pool was delightful, the house had all the usual necessities, the house was clean and comfortable and in good repair. The underwater pool light bezel had come loose prior to our stay, after a quick text to the owners, the issue was repaired by the following morning. The house is close enough to walk to the beach or the Surfin' Spoon and a couple other nearby businesses. The closest public beach access is fine and was not overly crowded, the only very minor complaint is that its somewhat close to the main road but the road noise was minimal and did not bother us at all.The house has a small storage shed with beach toys, a rather weathered beach cart, some umbrellas(we did not use any of these, condition unknown) and various other outdoor knickknacks and a couple broken boogie boards(recommend bringing your own like we did). We've already booked the house for another week next year.

My family stayed at this property for the 4th of July this year and had an amazing time! Best property we have stayed at ever! So much was included with the house; pool, beach gear, stocked kitchen for cooking (minus the food), games, and a great location for everything!! My kids loved being able to walk to the beach and we all loved the fireworks at the beach. And the host was very easy to connect with! Highly recommend staying here!!
