Nice, comfortable, roomy home with a great view of the ocean from the living area. Kitchen was well-equipped, there was enough space for 6 adults to eat together, lounge, play cards or chat in smaller groups. Located conveniently to activities, stores and attractions while still feeling like we were close to the ocean. Owners were very helpful and responsive to questions. We would definitely come back!

We really enjoyed staying at Tommy’s place. Beautiful views from the second floor, great layout, stocked kitchen, very comfortable beds and sitting areas. Access to the beach was super easy, and having the wagon and beach chairs made it so easy. I also really appreciated how responsive Tommy was each time we asked a question. Without fail he responded within minutes or within the hour. We had to contend with Hurricane Erin so his availability was super helpful. We plan to come back!!

OBX Perfection!

My entire family enjoyed our stay immensely! This house suited us perfectly. It was spotlessly clean, nicely decorated, and very comfortable. Its location ar the southern end of Nags Head was perfect for our plans to explore the Outer Banks. Very easy access to the beach. We visited Roanoke, Hatteras, and Duck and loved it all! Would highly reccomend this property and it's hosts.

Nice beach home for our family

This is the 2nd time we’ve stayed at this house because our family said it was their favorite one we’ve stayed in. We like that it has a fully stocked kitchen, a nice hot tub, plenty of beds for everyone. Also, the little rooms to have some quiet time when needed. Oh, and so close to the beach with a buggy to load up and roll to the ocean. The hosts are real nice and helpful.

Nags Head Beach house

Lovely beach home. Plenty of space for all. Comfy beds, clean rooms, kitchen had everything we needed. Short walk to beach. Short drive to many attractions. We had children of varying ages and there were books, games, puzzles etc for each age group. Hot tub was perfect ending to each day. Really enjoyed our stay.

Overall the house was in great condition, seems recently stylized, fresh, clean and current. The house was just the right size for 8 of us. Loved the front and back decks which got used every day depending on the breeze. Lots of different places to relax. Short walk to beach.

Salty Wahoo Aug 2024

What an incredible week! The Salty Wahoo was the perfect choice for our OBX getaway; it is both beautifully decorated and cozy. The perfect location in South Nags Head, close enough to make a grocery run but secluded enough that the beach was never crowded. It was so nice to be able to use the beach wagon which made transporting all the beach ‘necessities’ so much easier, as well as the extra chairs and large cooler. And of course the hot tub was a great way to unwind at the end of the day. It was absolutely perfect, and we look forward to returning!
