Enjoy Unobstructed Oceanfront Views @ Semi-Oceanfront $!
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Ocean Sands, Section F
We already liked Corolla and felt it was a dream come true when we found The Salty Pause, it is just like the old saying, "location, location, location" Our location is on a quite cul-de-sac, with the house right on the beach with just a short 80' private sand path to the Boardwalk and another 100' over the dunes to the ocean. As if a semi-ocean front location with no roads to cross wasn't good enough, the empty ocean front lot meant we could enjoy a fantastic unobstructed view of the dunes and ocean. Beyond the location and beauty of the exterior of the house, once we saw the interior with the open airy feel of the unique 2 story octogon-shaped Great Room with the wood ceiling, we knew this was the house for us!
The Unique Benefits at this House
We enjoy the phenomenal view of the dunes and ocean from our home, whether from the decks, screened-in outside dining room, or inside from the Great Room. We are close to everything from golf and groceries (both a half mile away), 3 different shopping centers within 2 miles provides access to a multitude of restaurants, shopping, and recreation opportunities. My favorite perk while at our home is going to the local coffee shop and Lighthouse Bagels for a wonderful breakfast followed by a morning walk on the beach with Rudy. Ahh, life is good!
Entrance to 18 hole Rees Jones designed spectacular championship golf course. The Currituck Club was rated one of the "10 Best New Places You Can Play" by Golf Magazine and in May of 1999 Golf Digest
New Harris Teeter Grocery Store built in 2008 within a 0.5 mile walk from The Salty Pause. Groceries, Restaurants, Shopping, Recreation, Liquor Store, Bait and Tackle store -- virtually EVERYTHING yo
Owner's Map of Ocean Sands, Section F
We love the Outer Banks and have been coming here for years. I'm not sure who loves it more, my wife and I, or our 10 year old Lab Rudy. Rudy seems to become a puppy again in the couple of minutes it takes her to run from our home over the dunes to the ocean. Visits to our home away from home are rejuvenating for us all and I think will be for you and your family too!

Fabulous Thanksgiving Week Vacation

We had the really fabulous time staying at The Salty Pause for our Thanksgiving Week Vacation. This is a beautiful home with wonderful ocean views. A comfortable, well maintained & very well equipped home with everything we needed to make our Thanksgiving Dinner. Beautifully decorated with Large bedrooms with comfortable beds opening up to a deck overlooking the sand dunes & ocean. Very pet friendly for our 2 dogs with area for walking, convenient to the beach, a great hot tub, and cozy fireplace. Close to the 4 x 4 beach for viewing the Corolla Wild Horses and close to shopping. We couldn't have been more pleased with our choice of staying at The Salty Pause and highly recommend this wonderful and convenient vacation home.
Recommended for:Adventure seekers, sightseeing, pet owners, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

We stayed here last week (June 26-July 3,2010). It was our first time to the Outer Banks and The Salty Pause is everything it's described to be and MORE! Pictures simply cannot capture the feeling of tranquility this house provides. And the LOCATION! I think we had better views of the ocean than some of the oceanfront homes and access to the beach was just steps away! The owners were very pleasant and so helpful.There was plenty for our three kids to do and enough room for everyone to spread out and relax. My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer!

Excellent Family Beach Home

Review Submitted: 06/14/10
My family of 7 and 3 pups couldn't be more pleased with our visit to the Salty Pause. The home provided everything as advertised, was very clean, had a wonderfully equipped kitchen and outdoor gas grill (we cooked dinner almost every night). It is close to Harris Teeter for groceries/beer/wine, and wonderful steamed or fresh seafood called Dockside North Seafood Market was a short trip up the coast for excellent seafood steamed and ready to serve. The rental management company answered all of my questions quickly and the payment website was very convenient. We spent most days on the beach and enjoyed many of the beach chairs, games, etc. provided by the Salty Pause homeowners. I plan to recommend the Salty Pause to friends and family looking for a home-away-from home in Corolla.
Recommended for:Families with young children, pet owners.

Salty Pause is just as advertized. We have rented homes in various states over the years and this was one of the best in terms of comfort and location. Dan (the owner) was extremely helpful providing links to area restaurants, sight seeing etc. We loved seeing dolphins in the ocean each day along with the pelicans. I would recommend this home to anyone who wants to relax and enjoy their lives for a week or so

Please tell Rudy we are indeed enjoying our time at Salty Pause-though it has been a bit hot upstairs, it is nice and cool downstairs and we have found that opening the doors and windows leads to lovely cool breezes. The new tile and cork floors are really nice, and that big TV is awesome! It is especially nice that the decks are not accessible from below, so it feels secure to leave doors open in the evening and not be bothered. So much great deck furniture-I am loving the rocker just outside the king bedroom door for morning coffee and bird watching. Everything is very clean and nice-bathrooms look new, dishes and glasses for everything, plenty of room to spread out and nice comfy beds make your place a delight! Thanks so much for our time here-wish we could have brought the dogs, but they are home guarding the house. Rode up the beach in our son's 4x4 Jeep today and saw the wild ponies, just a short drive up the beach. We really could not ask for more----

We have been staying at The Salty Pause for over 10 years and enjoy every minute of our vacation there. Mornings on the deck with coffee are the best and evenings with a glass of wine are even better. We love the changes and improvements that are made each year and look forward to seeing what is new and different (love the new hard wood floors!) Thanks for a great Beach house!

Just a quick note to tell you how much we enjoyed our vacation at the "Salty Pause" during the first week of June. The house was beautiful, even better than the pictures! We really felt at home there and it was all that I had hoped for. Thank you so much for providing a wonderful escape. We hope to return next year. Cindy S

Welcome to The Salty Pause! We hope you will come, relax and enjoy the outstanding unobstructed views at our beach home and the direct access to the ocean. We love the bright, open, airy feel of our Great Room and think you will too. One of our last guests said, "We love it! We would like to stay the whole summer here!!" This comment section is new. If you've stayed at The Salty Pause before, please add your comments and tell us what you think. Thanks and I hope you can come and enjoy The Salty Pause!
