About this cottage rental
Hello! Welcome to Shell Cottage in beautiful Salvo on Hatteras Island. Thank you for your interest. We are located on a quiet street and just 390 feet from the beach access and a few minutes’ drive to a beach day-use park on the sound side. Traditional beach box bungalow. Come and enjoy a cozy and comfortable getaway vacation! This classic beach bungalow is clean, fresh, and comfortable. Great getaway for a couple or small family, kite boarder, and surfers. Have a great, relaxing time at our beautiful beach, never crowded with its golden sands. Enjoy a great day of surf fishing or sunbathing and come out at night with your flashlights and go ghost crab hunting. The roads are quiet and safe to walk or ride your bike to the day-use park. Get away from the hustle and bustle of life. Relax on the deck at night and watch the sky full of stars, so close you feel like you could touch them, or in the screened porch while enjoying your barbeque from the charcoal grill provided. Swim, fish, surf or kiteboard, windsurf, kayak or paddleboard on sound side. Salvo day-use park is perfect for a family with little ones where the water is shallow and warm. Rinse off in the outside shower! General store within walking distance. Lots of places to rent bikes, boards, kayaks, fishing gear, all close by. Whether you are looking for adventure or just wanting to chill on the beach, cast your worries aside and come enjoy a simple, fun, and relaxing vacation.

The place was very clean and neat. Location was great for what we paid. The area is pet friendly. Our Betty was cozy. The steps were a little tough. Overall we were very happy with our stay.

Nice little place. No lighting on the front screened in porch. Had to use our lantern to sit out past sunset. Comfortable and close to the beach, price was good except 110 cleaning fee was excessive for such a small place. Description blames covid for needing deep cleaning? Plus if you use any towels, dish rags, sheets etc they want you to wash, dry and fold then put them back where they came from. Wonder what the cleaning crew does? Another Con: No shampoo, soap, etc. Bring your own.Overall a nice place on a quiet street with access to the beach.

We frequent VRBO’s due to work / travel. One of the best stays we have had a long time. Pet friendly, extremely clean and comfortable. Beautiful decorations and easy beach access. Perfect, friendly neighborhood, close to all things on the main strip. Check out Waves Corner Store! 10/10 people and food. Will definitely hope to make this our regular spot in OBX!

3* experience which could easily have been a 5* experience. Little things like sheets not being on the beds, no coffee or hand soap or washcloths provided, the A/C spewing black specks over the dining table all week, the TV remote not working and a screen door which requires you to either lock everyone in or out added up to diminish our vacation a fair amount. The cabin and its surroundings were fine. Short walk to the beach on the Atlantic side, although with the high wind we found we much preferred the Sound side of the island. We bought and left hand soap, washcloths, AAA batteries, coffee, and canisters for the coffee so hopefully future guests will have a better experience. It also got cold at night and there were no extra blankets - a couple not-really blankets were left in the closet. That would have been nice.
