Comfy studio and conveniently located to shopping and a short walk to public beach access. Nice place to stay and pet friendly. Had a nice time and appreciated the engagement with the host prior to and during my stay.

Hi Susan! Thanks for allowing us to host you and your pups - we're so glad to know that you enjoyed your stay and your time in Nags Head. Please keep us in mind if you're planning another OBX vacation!
This is a perfect location to get to any area of the outer banks.The property manager sent very good recommendations for places to eat, which is helpful for a visitor. Great shower!I missed not having a closet but the dresser accommodated most of my items. Best of all, a great beach less than a block away.

Hi Kathryn! It was our pleasure to host you and provide the recommendations for our favorite local spots. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at Salt & Light. Thanks so much for being our guest!
Adorable condo a block from the beach and dog friendly, close to shopping, little chilly for the time of the year we were there, but still enjoyed the beach with our dogs. Overall great time for R&R.
This was a perfect studio apartment directly across from easy access to the beach. It is on the quieter end of the beach as well.
The hosts were very helpful with recommendations for places to eat!
We had a great time in Nags Head. Our stay was comfortable and as expected, per reviews and descriptions of property. Recommended for only one or two people. Easy access to beach!
The property was perfect for the two of us and our dog. Great access to the beach and local dining. Just an all around positive experience. We will be back.
