The Salty Soul is a comfortable, bright, and cheerfully decorated bungalow in the heart of the Outer Banks. Located between the highway (US 158) and beach road (NC 12) in Kill Devil Hills at MP 10, it is conveniently located to eateries, shopping, mini golf, and more. Our bungalow even backs up to Kill Devil Grille--one of the best eateries on the beach!

Getting to the beach is painless with two close by accesses...one at Lake Drive a little north, and a parking access at Eighth Street just a little south (still walkable, though). Or walk a footpath north of the bungalow... about a 3 min. walk.

The Salty Soul is ideal for a couples getaway, modest family, or a peaceful friends weekend. The lower level (and entry area) of the bungalow has a convenient heated and cooled room with washer and dryer, utility sink, additional refrigerator, and a private toilet. Upstairs features an open living room with a cozy deck overlooking a enormous fenced in backyard, kitchen & dining area, as well as a huge ensuite bedroom that has a king size bed and a bathroom with double sinks, toilet, and a tub shower combo.

A queen size bed in a cavernous room is on the top floor. Working space is available with desk and chair. This bedroom has a sizable full bathroom. Off this 2nd bedroom is a walk-through closet leading to the 3rd room that has the full size bed in it and a nightstand with light. Great for the snorer in the family or someone wanting privacy. This modest cozy room is best suited for kids or 1 adult.
Note: This 3rd room has no windows and accesses the bathroom through the 2nd bedroom.

The outdoor space is roomy under the home, on the back deck, or in the fenced in yard area. You can savor eating outside, playing corn hole, or grilling out on the gas grille. After a long day at the beach, you can rinse off in the outdoor shower and relax by the fire pit with a cold drink in hand!

Strategies to get the optimal Kill Devil Hills rental experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Kill Devil Hills. Booking your Kill Devil Hills vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Kill Devil Hills area travel guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the perfect rental home in the Kill Devil Hills area:

• Choose a group leader, select your dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Close to Beach-\"The Salty Soul\", Bring Your Flip Flops, New Cottage, circa 2022 has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before reserving your home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation family.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a particular Kill Devil Hills beach you are enamored with, browse rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great ratings to compel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
