Fun family beach weekend!

My husband, kids, and me stayed here over Labor Day weekend. Kids are 8, 6, and 2. The property was clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen had the basics we needed to cook. Loved the screened in porch - enabled my husband, who is highly sought after by mosquitos, to sit outside with me after the kids were in bed. The beach here is beautiful and walkable from the house, though my kids are probably a little more tolerant to walks than some. It’s a walk down the long driveway, around a curve in the street, and up the road; then you go through some trees between houses, and come out before the dunes. You wind your way through the dunes and then you’re there! It’s a wide beach, and there were definitely people there but it wasn’t overly crowded by any means. The waves were big and the undertoe was strong - we didn’t let any of the kids go beyond their knees in the water without an adult. But we all had a great time at the beach with no issues or real safety concerns beyond the precautions mentioned. We’d definitely stay here again. Price was right, the house was great, and the beach was nice. Thanks for letting us enjoy your cottage!

Last minute getaway

We stayed the week after hurricane Debby passed by. There was some standing water however, the owners were ready for it and had walkways set up. The water was gone within a few days. The house was very well cared for and in a great tucked away location. The communication with the owners was excellent and we look forward to staying again in the future.

Summer vacation

This was our second stay at this cottage. We enjoyed the cottage and everything was just as we remembered it except the bottom car park area. It had rained a lot prior to us coming, so the area had flooded underneath which made it difficult to unload and get in and out of the cottage easily. Especially because we had two small children. The area also gets slippery, my husband and I nearly slipped and fell a couple of times. The owner did place two raised wooden slats to help with getting around, but unfortunately this is not enough. The area did dry up, especially the concrete portion, if there was no significant rain for 12 hrs, but we unfortunately had heavy rainfall daily for 1-2 hrs so the area would accumulate again. Of course the rain is not something that can be helped but other properties in the area did not have this flooding either due to location or slanting of the driveway. I would be hesitant to book again because of this issue. Other than this, the property is clean and a quick walk to the beach. We loved the three different decks to hang out in, especially the enclosed one.

Wonderful Beach Vacation

Starry Nights in Salvo was perfect for our stay in Outer Banks. The house was exactly as described. It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The location was awesome. It was close enough to attractions but was quiet and peaceful. Thank you for everything!

Amazing property!

The house was beautiful, clean, and full of amenities that made our stay very comfortable. The throw blankets in the closet really won my girlfriend over when she was ready to relax in the living room. The outdoor shower was so convenient after a day at the beach. The cargo lift was so helpful at arrival and departure. It is clear how much the owners care for their property, and we would absolutely recommend this house!

Great stay at Salvo starry nights

We enjoyed our stay. Everything was as described and the cargo lift was a great help. As we are in our 70’s it is a bit of a walk to the beach but using the alternate beach access with the wooden boardwalk across the dunes helped. Thank you, George H

5 Stars for Salvo Starry Nights

We've come to Salvo a few times now, but this was our first stay at Salvo Starry Nights. We found it an excellent property, and exactly as described. The location is great, we could even hear the surf whenever traffic on Rt. 12 died down. The house is very cheerful and well kept, and the name is very appropriate - we did enjoy the stars every night, it's impressive how many can be seen despite the neighborhood lights. We also loved the screened porch and ate there a lot (though we had some noisy college kids next door, but that could not be helped...) The outdoor shower is wonderful, and we were very happy to be able to park our car in the shade under the deck. Inside, we found everything we needed - the kitchen only has basic equipment, but we didn't mean to cook a lot anyway. We did use the outdoor grill, we brought our own coal of course, and tools, but we did find grilling tools there as well. We're very grateful this is a no-pet property and we've been so happy that we're sure we want to come back!

OBX Retirement Trip

Salvo Starry Nights was perfect for our girls retirement trip. The house was beautifully decorated and comfortable and we enjoyed the screened front porch. The luggage lift was the ticket and came in handy. The kitchen was well appointed and beds comfortable. The beach was beautiful and a short walk away. Joann was very nice with great communication. Would stay again...thanks for a great week!

Great, clean, updated cottage.

Entering, the cottage was bright and airy. The kitchen was updated and had vibrant walls. The screened in porch is a great place to relax and have meals. The only minor inconveniences were lack of available electrical outlets (we resolved it by buying an electrical plug with multiple outlets, and left it behind). Also, there was a lack of clocks, mainly in the primary bedroom.

Nice place to stay

Overall, it was a nice place to stay. It has everything we needed and then some. I debated giving 4 stars, but I can tell the owners care about the property. Our two complaints are: 1.) The screened door drags the deck/porch pretty bad. Since it's the main entrance, it's really annoying to enter/exit. You have to lift up on the door handle with decent effort to be able to even operate the door. You can tell from the presence of L-brackets in all four corners that the door has been worked on before, but it definitely needs to be worked on again, or just replaced. 2.) The bedroom and bathroom doors are painted, so they stick to the door jam and are very LOUD when the door opens. This makes it impossible to sneak into the room to come to bed later than your spouse, or to come check on the little ones in the next room while they're sleeping. You can hear the doors open all through the house. It's definitely a nuisance. Other than those issues, it's a nice place to stay.

Beachy home in a Peacefully Quiet neighborhood

We arrived at the home and everything was clean and comfortable. I loved the colors in all the rooms! This home has a lift that brings all your stuff upstairs, which was very helpful! The kitchen had everything you needed to make a nice meal. We brought all of our food for a few days, then headed to the Food Lion for other fresh food. We ate out on the enclosed porch for most meals. We ate at the Froggy Dog in Avon and was very pleased with our meal. We visited lots of places during our trip, including Okracoke, Avon pier, Jeanette’s Pier, Mantao Aquarium and we stopped at beach stop #27 at night to see the Milky Way, which you can also see on the deck of the house! The path to the beach was very close, along with lots of chairs and beach equipment in the downstairs storage room. There is a outdoor shower which was very helpful when returning from the beach daily. The beds were very comfortable. The A/C was very comfortable when you spent sometime outside and come inside. It was between 80-90’s during our stay. My favorite was to sit on the deck in the morning with your coffee. So quiet just hearing the birds and occasionally the chickens. We had a really great time there! I just loved staying here for 10 days. I will definitely return next year!

What Salvo Starry Nights means to me is also my wish for you: experiencing that peaceful, easy feeling while savoring ocean breezes from the porch rocking chairs, contemplating the Milky Way from the decks on a clear night when it feels like you can reach out and touch it, and making epic memories with your family and friends!
