Fabulous + Clean Beach home!
We absolutely loved our stay in Salvo! The house is new and recently renovated. It was our first trip to southern OBX and highly recommend staying here. Salvo is a quieter part of OBX, really good for relaxing and getting great beach time.
Notes on Salvo/Location: The house is a block away from Waves market, which has a killer breakfast burrito and has a ton of food + pantry items, toiletries, etc. The closest large grocery store is in Avon about 16-20 minutes away, which is where we shopped for big grocery items/meat/seafood etc. We had amazing coffee at Beans & Beads, loved Lisa's Pizzeria, & Neptune's Bar.
The house sits just off the main road, and is about a 10-13 minute walk to the beach (it feels fast because it is a straight-shoot down the street). We brought our own beach chairs and umbrella, but it was really nice the house provided extra chairs, beach toys, and a well-functioning cart (necessary to transport everything!).
We used the grill a couple times--it was great. The ignition doesn't work on the grill, but we used the long lighter provided by the house to ignite the flames (easy!). The kitchen is huge and has really good storage and is fairly well-stocked.
The air conditioning was great--important for the beach! The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were spacious and clean. We loved drinking our coffee on the porch.
Christina is a fabulous host--she gave us great recommendations and was incredibly responsive and attentive. Highly recommend!!
