C4900 The Salty Piper. Direct Beach Access, Ocean View, Golf Nearby, WiFi!

The Salty Piper is a coastal haven nestled in Section F of Ocean Sands, Corolla's vibrant community. With its bright and inviting interior, comfortable furnishings, and modern kitchen, it promises a delightful retreat.

Step onto the spacious top deck and sink into one of the Adirondack chairs, savoring a cup of coffee or a refreshing cocktail as you soak in the coastal breeze. Alternatively, unwind on the lower deck, swaying gently in the hammocks and relishing the tranquility.

Convenience is key at The Salty Piper, with a semiprivate boardwalk just behind the house providing direct access to the beach, mere yards away. The location places you within easy reach of Corolla's attractions, such as the Shops at Currituck Club and Timbuk II, both less than two miles away.

Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to community tennis courts and the option to tee off at the nearby Currituck Golf Club, a semiprivate facility welcoming the public. And of course, the sound of the ocean beckons, ensuring that The Salty Piper becomes your cherished vacation destination year after year.

OBX Family Trip 2024

The Salty Piper is very conveniently located near the beach. There is a wooden walkway that starts at the car port and goes directly to the beach. It is also very close to shopping and Harris Teeter. We had a great time in this house and it fit 2 adults and 4 kids perfectly. The only complaint I have is that the kitchen is a tad small. Really only enough room for one person in there at a time or it gets cramped. However, the kitchen was very well stocked with utensils and cookware. We enjoyed staying here!

Nice place, poor communication

The house is lovely and was just right for our needs. Convenient access (with many stairs) to the beach. We were disappointed that the "ocean view" was completely blocked by numerous houses. Communication was very confusing and frustrating. I booked through VRBO, but I was supposed to download the Beach Realty app for all instructions - and the app wouldn't download to my phone. One set of emailed instructions said to stop first at their office before getting to the property, whereas another said we would get emailed our keycode. There were 2 phone numbers. The disposal wasn't working and after 3 phone calls, I found a form to download for maintenance. (The disposal was fixed within one day, which was great.) My final complaint is that I called the Corolla office to ask if the home had beach chairs - because some reviews said it did. The very nice person told me there were no chairs - unless previous guests had left them. So, we rented chairs. When we arrived, we saw, in the parking area, a large accessible storage unit with " BEACH CHAIRS" clearly written on the front. I thought, through VRBO, I'd be communicating with the owner. I would not rent from a corporation managed VRBO again.

Family Vacation

This house was amazing. Exactly as pictured in the photos. It also had EVERYTHING you can think of. The distance to the beach couldn’t be beat. We really enjoyed our stay. Though dog friendly, there was no place for our dog to do it’s business outside without walking a bit away from the house. There was also a ton of tall grass with little spikes at the tip that would get stuck on our dog or even us if we got too close, they hurt to remove. So just need to keep an eye out for them. The couch in the living room was totally collapsed and has seen it’s day. None of us would really even sit it on it cause you just caved in. But to be honest it wouldn’t deter me from renting again, the house is just that great. Over all we really really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back to OBX soon!

Aprill 2022 Stay

We loved this property. I was under the impression it was a bit closer to the beach based on the listing but the walk was very short. The house was gorgeous, clean, well equipped with literally everything you needed including beach chairs and a basketball hoop which was a hit for our family. Kitchen was small and not a ton of storage room for food but so many cooking items it was awesome! Highly recommend!

Decent for Price

Arrival/departure was super easy as we didn't have to check-in at a separate office - front door code was simply emailed to us so we could go straight to the house. The house itself was fine (pretty basic) but could use a deep cleaning. There was trash behind and under furniture and around the exterior of the house. The couch and area rug in the small living room were absolutely filthy. The kitchen was like a galley kitchen - very narrow and hard for more than one person to be in there at one time. The kitchen faucet would never turn off completely and constantly leaked. The latch on one of the bedroom sliding doors was broken (door unlocked) so a board between the door and the frame was needed for security. It was nice that each bedroom had a corresponding bathroom without needing to share plus the outdoor shower. Loved that there was direct access to the shared boardwalk that went straight to the beach. The decks/hammocks were OK but no real view of the water. Nails on the deck need to be hammered down or replaced with deck screws as a lot were sticking up and caught our bare feet - ouch! Would have been nice if the house included some beach chairs and umbrellas. Being across the street from the well-stocked Harris Teeter was PERFECT. It was about a 20 minute drive to Duck for restaurants and better shopping. The rental agency provided a 3 oz bottle of Palmolive dish soap, a sponge, and 2 trash bags so plan to supply literally everything else yourself!

Great location in Corolla, close to beach

Very nice stay. Rooms and kitchen all updated. Walk to beach. Nice sized rooms and bathrooms. Only complaint was more kitchen ware (pots/pans) for cooking would be useful. My party of 9 had difficulty cooking dinner because pots/pans were few and too small. Probably not an issue for a smaller party. Overall, highly recommend.
