Great property, salty air is definitely hard on a home, but the owner has done a nice job of making it feel like home. Decor was lovely and well thought out. I feel that some people who have previously rented the property have not treated it with care. That’s a shame that people don’t take care of someone’s rental home as they would their own. The pool is nice, the hot tub is good but needs a new cover. All in all we were happy. Would rent again.

Our host was accommodative and was always easy to get ahold of. The house was awesome and big enough for our family and friends. We enjoyed the drive on the beach to get there and the amazing views. The pool and hot tub were a must for our kids and they enjoyed it. The horses came up to the house a few times and were usually in sight all week . The only negative thing to say was the sleep number beds were uncomfortable but that’s a personal preference. We had the best time at Lightly Salted and made many good memories.

Loved the remoteness, beach access, pool. Beautiful views. Perfect weather Horses came for a visit once and stayed around the house for quite a while. Kitchen well stocked Ice maker was broken, but host refunded cost of buying bags Only downside to trip was highway 12 traffic- plan to come and go with consideration to avoid peak travel times. Would be the only reason why would not visit again during the summer season

Loved the remoteness of the property, the horses, the beach was beautiful, but not prepared for what was required to travel on the beach without a lot of anxiety. Getting to the beach through the sand requires being in pretty good shape and agile. First impression of the house when we arrived was disappointing, but it grew on us. It's a lot of money to rent to not have the basic amenities provided or be in better shape.

Wow! What a week! This was our first time to OBX, so we wanted it be as perfect as possible! This house was absolutely everything we could have wished for and more. We had plenty of room, the kitchen was fully stocked to meet all of our needs, beds were comfy, pool felt amazing. I have zero complaints! Marissa was so good at getting back with me quickly, even over my silly questions. Watching the sunrise from the top deck was breathtaking & the wild horses visited in the mornings and most evenings. The walk to the beach was very short and beautiful as well. The adventure getting to the house was fun & definitely a memory we won’t forget. If this is your first time driving on a 4X4 beach like it was for us, do not get discouraged, believe me-see it though it’s 100% worth it! We’ll be back to Lightly Salted soon!! Thank you for sharing your house with my family to make a million memories!

This was our families 1st trip to OBX and this house was great. The adventure getting their was an awesome experience. The horses were near the house daily we even got to see some babies. Down sides were the pool lighs did not work, there was no umbrellas for the tables that were on the deck and in the pool area. The cleaning company could do a better job. Making memories was what this trip was about and we were able to do that with the perfect weather we had all week. We got to experience a thunderstorm at the beach as well on the last night of our stay seeing the sky and ocean change quickly was neat to see.

Overall, our family enjoyed our vacation. This was our first time in Corolla and we really loved the seclusion of the 4x4 beach, seeing the horses, and the close proximity to the ocean. Pros: -plenty of space, pool/hot tub, screens porch, large dining table, 3rd floor views. Marissa was very responsive to messages. Upon arrival, there was an issue with the air conditioning. She promptly dispatched a service company and fixed the problem immediately. She was pleasant and prompt in her communication. Cons: Housekeeping issues/TLC needed. The house was not disgustingly dirty but all of the blinds, ceiling fans, and higher windows had a thick layer of dust and we found food stuck to the dining chairs and table. The house needs a deep clean. Small details matter. Again, I understand having renters is very hard on a home. Being oceanfront also adds so much wear and tear to a home. However, when you are paying a premium rate for a premium location, I expect small details are attended to. TLC items - Ripped cushions outdoor seating, pilled/stained bed linens, pool area light not working, and missing fixtures. Overall cosmetic TLC is needed throughout the home. Again, none of these individually are deal breakers but added up start to impact your stay. I think many of the issues were a result of insufficient housekeeping and the owner not being appropriately informed by housekeeping/property manager of things needing attention. A few fixes would make this a 5 star home.

You have a lovely home but whomever cleans it does not do a very good job. It would be nice if the windows with the view were clean to take advantage of the view.
