House was very clean and in excellent condition. Amazing views of the sound with an easy walk/ bike ride to the beach. The included paddle boards, kayak and bikes were were great to have. This house was perfect for our family of four. We enjoyed the beach, fishing, crabbing and simply relaxing. I would not hesitate to book this property in the future!

We had a great time at this property for our week! Great location and fantastic sound views. It was quite and lots of space for the family to spread out and the kids to play. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook meals. All you need is the food and seasonings etc.
As expected with staying on the sound prepare for the mosquitoes!

We had a wonderful time! We really couldn’t have asked for a better place for our vacation. This property had everything we needed and was perfect for a large family like ours, Thanks Chi for providing us with such a great place to say while we visited the OBX.

I’ve been coming to This area for over a dozen years, and this was the best maintained soundfront house that I’ve stayed at. Great for young families- no issues at all with neighbors- great spot for kiteboarding. We’ll be back.

Our family had a very nice stay at this property. Having the pier easily accessible made it easy for us to all enjoy fishing together. Our 2 teenagers enjoyed the paddle boards several days while we were there. The location was good and the local bait shop was walking distance. Everyone was very nice in both of the local shops. Its only a short 30 minute drive in either direction to find plenty of activities. I would definitely recommend staying here. It was clean and the kitchen had everything that we needed to make our own meals.

On the plus side, the main room provides stunning sunset views across the sound. The kitchen is reasonably well equipped. We brought everything we needed, and so the complete absence of any spices or really anything else you'd find in a kitchen was not an issue. Having to bring our own towels was also just a minor nuisance. However, one of the neighboring properties was essentially a frat house with loud music and lots of F bombs. In their defense, they did quiet down at around 11 pm.
Next, to the house is the access point to the sound for the neighborhood. Most users were conscientious, and I didn't mind too much the parents and the screaming toddler playing in the sound right in front of the house in the late afternoon/ evening. However, others were bringing the fishing poles, set themselves up right in front of the house playing their music - one guy showed up on two consecutive nights at 2 am. His bright head light shone straight into our bedroom and his signing (night 1) and transistor radio (night 2) woke us up.
Don't expect any tranquility. Great place, if you want to be loud and obnoxious - you'll fit right in.

Traveling with teens is tricky. This home offered plenty for everyone to do. The sunsets are amazing. And the convenience to the water is ideal. My only wish would have been for a gas grill and quieter neighbors. But, overall, a great home and vacation.

Everything was great, barring a minor incident with our neighbors on the shared dock/pier.
There was some form of miscommunication between the owner of our residence and the owner of the residence behind us regarding the shared dock.
The property manager was clear throughout the trip and prior to the trip that we were granted shared access, however the owner of the residence behind us was telling their tenants that it was not shared. This is should have been ironed out before we went down.
Everything about this place was great. Thanks Chi. Can’t wait to come back again.

Lovely setting with beautiful views over Pamlico Sound and great sunsets. We enjoyed using the included paddle boards directly from the property. The beach is about a 10 min walk along the road and then through quite a lot of sand dunes, but we used the nearby vehicle beach access most of the time - well worth the $50 permit if you have 4x4 or AWD. The interior is well appointed and comfortable - one minor quibble was no replacement toilet rolls we ended up using two of our own, but overall an excellent experience. We were sorry to leave.

This is our second year staying at Sound Seclusion and it was amazing! My husband and I especially enjoyed the 2 SUP’s while my teens fished off the dock in the evenings. The sunsets are spectacular! The house is clean and well equipped. The hot tub is a nice bonus. The uncrowded beach is within walking distance and all town shops are within biking distance. During this stay we discovered that there are bioluminescent organisms in the sound. That was a nightly treat!

This property was the perfect rental home for our families vacation getaway. The view of the sound was magnificent, especially in the evenings watching the sunset from the deck or even the living room! The owner was quick to respond to any questions I had. I would definitely recommend it and would love to stay again.

Beds had hair in them and floors and counter tops were dirty. No fun cleaning up when you arrive for vacation. Could have been better but wasn't too awful bad. The view is awesome and the paddleboards and other extras are great to have .

Great location with easy access to bags head, Roanoke island, Frisco, and Avon. Great spot to tour lighthouses and do some birdwatching. We really enjoyed night fishing from the dock and watching the kite and wind surfers. Clean house with everything you need plus a bit more. Only recommendation would be to screen in a porch and add a table and chairs for outdoor dining.

kiting vacation
We enjoyed our break at the Outer Banks largely due to the place we stayed at. It was right on the water and very peaceful. If you are a kiteboarder, you'll feel right at home as it is likely that your neighbors are also kiting. The back yard can be used to launch though you have to be careful to steer clear of the sandbags and barriers to prevent erosion. All in all, a good time was had by us all.

Two friends and I had an amazing stay in Salvo! The views from the home are incredible - it feels like you are right on top of the water. House is comfortable with lots of deck space. Very well stocked kitchen too which is always very helpful. Would absolutely stay again!!

Great place. The living room view makes one feel as though you're in a ship out on the sound. Very clean. Excellent location for watching birds and doing or watching water sports. Stunning sunsets. Owner was accessible and helpful. Not "luxe" but highly recommend all things considered.
