About this house rental


Adorable “beach box” home located only 2 building lots from the incredible Salvo beach and close to Pamlico Sound. Sleeps eight with 2 bedrooms having queen beds, one having 2 twin beds and a Pirate-themed bunk bedroom for the little ones. Additionally there is a queen sleeper sofa in the Living Room for overflow sleeping. A beautiful, enclosed front porch offers additional year-round living space. Fun and cozy outdoor living with two large side decks and a wonderful ‘crows nest’ deck with a small strip of ocean view - perfect for enjoying those incredible Hatteras Island sunrises & sunsets! Large concrete private driveway and area beneath house with picnic table for additional outdoor entertainment. Lighted fish cleaning station with nearby hose.

Other amenities include: 2 Flat screen TVs with Rokus and Spectrum app with local channels, many general channels & 15 ‘cable’ channels including sport channels, HGTV, Discovery, etc, 500-mbps internet, stackable washer/dryer, park-style grill in yard, outdoor shower, and a well-equipped kitchen which includes a dishwasher, complete dish and knife sets, both Keurig & pot-style coffee makers, 2 blenders, toaster & hand mixer.

Non-smoking (inside house, on porches & decks). Smoking is allowed on concrete area beneath house where picnic table with ashtray is located.

Dog-friendly home for up to 2 dogs (additional $150/week pet fee applies). 330 sq foot dog run area accessible from side deck door without you going out in bad weather! Fence is wooden, cattle-style and 5 ft high…very sturdy. The fenced area is partly covered & partly uncovered for your dogs comfort in any weather.

Bedspreads, mattress covers, pillows (of various types and firmness), pillow covers and dish cloths ARE included. Bed sheets & bath towels are NOT included but they can be rented (supplier information will be provided by host upon booking).

Beach accessories such as chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and cruiser bikes are not included, but can be rented at many locations in the area. Host can provide nearby providers, if needed.

To protect my home, exterior cameras are in use on the 2 side decks and beneath the house, however the video will be disabled after a compliant check-in day unless owner receives report of a house rules violation (note that audio is always disabled). Even though check-in time is listed as 4:00, in reality the cleaners are normally done (and house available) by 1:00 or 2:00 (however it isn't guaranteed until 6:00 so I split it down the middle). They will post a note on door when it is ready. If you arrive earlier, you can change in the outdoor shower and go to the beach or sound until its ready.

Come enjoy Hatteras Islands’ incredible fishing, beaches & water sports, as well as Salvo’s beauty, serenity and incredible night skies at the Sandbox!

The Salvo Sandbox was just perfect for our family!! We enjoyed the location…the house was spacious enough for the 7 of us, lots of outside spaces to enjoy! Our golden retrievers loved their first vacation too! Easy walk across the street to the beach, a little bit of a hike over the dunes to get to the ocean, but completely manageable! If I could make one suggestion if possible, ceiling fans for the front porch. It was so hot (of course we were in an extreme heat warning during our vacation) but there was no air circulating and we didn’t get to enjoy the porch at all….we had hoped to eat breakfast out there but it was just tooooo hot! We loved visiting village conery for ice cream, hatteras bowls for a refreshing treat, waves market and deli for lunch and mirros cafe for breakfast and dinner. We enjoyed the salvo day park for our dogs to play in the water and for the amazing sunsets.
