Family vacation

Location was great, beach 400 steps from the house. Wi-fi was sketchy, in and out. The rain had made virtual swamps of properties and roads which evolved into attack mosquitoes! Bring bug spray! Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, dinnerware and cookware. The only problems we had were the primary bathroom toilet not refilling to flush and the dryer screeched so loudly that we brought our wet washed clothes home. All in all, everything was great! I would recommend this place to anyone.

Beach bungalow

Captain's Watch is a delightful beach bungalow directly across the street from the beach and very convenient to beach access. The owners recently updatee the deck, and they provide a well-stocked kitchen. While the bathrooms are small, especially the en suite, having 2 full baths is a plus. The house comes equipped with a dehumidifier. We noticed a slight musty smell upon entering and it dissipated during our two week stay. We appreciated the beach cart and got to know the handy man well as he came to service the hot tub, help with a lock out, and address a water leak. Additional family members could not join us in Salvo. With just the two of us and our dog, we found the house the right size. Five or 6 people would have been tight. If you want quiet, convenience and wase, then Captain's Watch is for you.

Relaxing time away

This property was just the right size for meeting the needs of a small family. The walk to the beach is 5 minutes making it easy to enjoy sunrise on the beach every morning. We enjoyed the added amenities of having a hot tub and screened porch for relaxing.

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful time on our OBX trip! Salvo is a nice location and not far from restaurants and shops! Nice streets to take morning or evening strolls! The house was perfect for the two of us and our pup! The hot tub and roof top deck are nice amenities! The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need! I would suggest bug spray! The sand fleas are relentless ! The walk over the dunes is hilly and if you have mobility issues that could cause a problem. We had a comfortable and relaxing week! Thanks for allowing us to stay!!

Great

Just what we needed. Very close to the beach access. Just a short drive from all the big attractions, but far enough away that you aren’t surrounded with people. Property owner answered any and all questions and was very responsive.

Nice Little Rental

We enjoyed our stay very much. It is close to the walking path to the beach. The house was stocked with all the things we needed. I loved that there was a TV in every bedroom which was nice because of the littles wanting to watch Disney and they could in their own room! ;) Another thing that was wonderful is the ice cream shop that is right down the road within walking distance for an after dinner treat. The only down side was the screens on the porch that were missing. We couldn't enjoy the porch in the evening because of the mosquitos. Overall, this home was a nice vacation spot.

Relaxing and convenient getaway!

The Captain's Watch was perfect for our getaway with family and friends! We loved the quiet neighborhood with close beach access. Being able to walk to the ice cream shop was a big plus for everyone in our group! This home was clean and comfortable, and the kitchen had all the utensils and appliances we needed to cook meals on a few nights. Would highly recommend this host and property.

Early summer getaway.

Friendly host with great communication. Large decks with 2 screened in porches and a covered hot tub made enjoying the outdoors easy, even in unfavorable weather. Home is within close proximity to the beach, food market, and restaurants. The exterior of the house and living/kitchen areas appear recently updated and modern. The kitchen has everything you’d ever need to prepare a family meal. Indoor bathrooms are a bit dated but function properly. Outdoor shower is a big plus! High speed internet works well. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this home to family/friends and I hope to return next year :)

A Very Nice Family Getaway

The property is located in a nice subdivision. We felt very safe walking the dogs at night. The beach is a short walk from the house. It was luxurious to hit the hot tub after a beach day. The screen room kept the bugs out and therefore we were able to enjoy the outdoor breeze while relaxing on the Adirondacks. We enjoyed star gazing on the third level deck! I hope to do this again next season! I thank Donna for her responsiveness and patience. Much appreciated!

A Gem

Captain's Watch exceeded our expectations. The place was beautiful and convenient. The uncrowded each was worth every step of the walk over the dunes. A definite re-booking is in order.

Screened Porch

The screened in porch is not mosquito proof, because of the deck board spacing. They could solve that by stapling some screen underneath the deck between the floor joist

Fun Week!

This was our second stay at Captain's Watch and we enjoyed ourselves once again! The cottage is a comfortable fit for our family of 4, well stocked with kitchen necessities if you plan to cook, and very close to the beach access. Family oriented neighborhood with uncrowded streets for the kids to go bike riding and a nice size yard for them to play in as well. Quick and easy communications with the homeowners as well. Thanks again for a great week at the ocean!

Amazing stay

We loved this place! Had literally every kitchen gadget and supply you would need which was great! Beach access across the street and the cart they have is great to get over the dunes! Felt private and yet close to everything. Hot tub was wonderful and we enjoyed every evening on the crows nest after our baby went to bed. Great for families and our dog loved the beach and neighborhood. Highly recommend and hope to stay again!

Great Stay

First time staying in Salvo, and Captain's Watch was a great place to do it. We stayed for 2-weeks & was the first stop on a month long trip from MI to FL. Loved sitting in the hot tub most evenings. Because we were there the end of October/beginning of November, most days were cool & breezy, which we love. Our dog loved sitting on the screened-in porch enjoying the breeze. As a chef, my wife loved that the kitchen was well stock with all the cookware she needed to make our dinners each night. Unfortunately, we checked out early as their was a threat of an impeding storm. Very cute house & would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Dan and Donna Heilman

Host profile image
Welcome to our home! We live in Newport News and have enjoyed this special cottage for several years with our family and friends. Since our children are getting older and their schedules busier, we decided to make our house available for others to enjoy. We love to cook! We hope you enjoy the granite counter tops, large cabinets and cookware. Please feel free to use whatever you need and make yourself at home. We find the mattresses comfortable and cozy. If you need on site help during your stay, our Property Manger is Hatteras Helping Hands. Enjoy, relax, look at the stars...

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location...says it all. The beach access is right across the street, the large corner lot provides lots of privacy. The house is completely renovated, clean and easy to manage. The kitchen is bright, has storage for your items and everything you need to prepare as many meals as you want. The outdoor shower is great and so is the 5 person hot tub. Walk to ice cream, ride bikes, enjoy the peace and quiet of Salvo. There is no place like it. And the beach....we have never seen it crowded. It's wide and clean. There is lots of room to play, surf, pick shells. From the beach, look for the mile post 42 sign in the dunes and take the path to the left to get back to the cottage. Easy living.

What makes this property unique

Large corner lot with trees offers lots of privacy. Ocean beach access right across the street. Kitchen has everything you need to make cooking a breeze. The large living room and two screened in porches provides plenty of room to spread out. Central air, WiFi, 4 flat screen TVs and a sky full of stars. All you need is a bottle of wine, a HDMI cable and the kid's laptops! There are also restaurants and a little grocery/sandwich shop a few blocks. There is a new dollar store that offers so much more that your average dollar store. It's definitely worth checking out. Walk to Village Conery! We LOVE Salvo and hope you do too!
