About L.A. Brickner
We've been visiting salvo since we were kids, so when the opportunity to purchase a soundfront home presented itself, we bought the aquaholic. The rental season was such a good experience, and when we had the opportunity to purchase the harbormaster, located nearby, we decided to create another luxury rental home.
L.A. Brickner purchased this house in 2013
Why L.A. Brickner chose Salvo
We actually rented the Harbormaster (formerly named 'Boat House') five years ago as our first experiment in sound-front vacationing. It is a former model home for a planned neighborhood that failed due to the housing market collapse. It remained my dream home, so when it finally progressed through the many stages of bank negiations and was listed for sale, we purchased it with a plan to restore and redecorate it.
What makes this house unique
Harbormaster is one of two houses in a neighborhood that includes 10 empty lots, a barn, and a meeting house, all part of a neighborhood that has yet to be built. That means a private harbor, fishing pier and gazebo, plus plenty of open space. The unique nature of the harbor draws kiteboarders for your viewing pleasure off the many decks.

Incredible Home - Highly Recommend~
Truly enjoyed our stay at Harbormaster. Owner was great, very quick to respond to any questions/needs & provided a great home. We had a total of 6 for our stay & our primary reason for trip was fishing. We chartered a boat 2 days out of Oregon Inlet & we were more than happy to drive the 20-25 minutes to this home. The sunsets overlooking the Sound were truly breath taking. We will always look to L.A. (Property Owner) for any of our future rental needs on the Outerbanks. Book this home, you'll be glad you did!
Best vacation home I've rented thus far
This home was exactly what we wanted for our long weekend! Everyone was pleased with the amenities, accommodations, accessibility, and function. We'd love to return again ... hopefully in the near future!
Sound front paradise
We loved our stay at Harbormaster, the house is stunning and very relaxing. We traveled with our two dogs and they loved the daily walks out on the pier. L.A. is great at communicating and gave some superb advice on food and drinks in the area. She is also very charming and a pleasure to talk with. We will definitely rent this house again.
Harbormaster
Our family totally enjoyed our stay at Harbormaster. So much so that we have booked for two weeks next year. The fishing was fantastic, the views were unbelievable and the location was the best. We are all looking forward to next year!
Beautiful home
Unfortunately, our stay was cut from 1 week to 1 night due to hurricane Maria. A complete disappointment after driving 17 hours. But it was a gamble we took being the time of year we selected. We would have loved to stay and enjoy the amazing location and gorgeous home but due to a mandatory evacuation that was not possible. Mrs. Brickner could not have been more helpful during the entire process. She answered all emails and calls promptly. We look forward to booking another time. We did purchase the trip insurance and are hoping to get a refund. We will be back to try again.
Perfect Family Vacation
We recently returned home after our third stay at Harbormaster. We have been vacationing in the Outer Banks for 20 years and this is by far our favorite spot to stay. We had 11 guests in our party, ranging from age 1 to 60+, and Harbormaster really does offer something for everyone, and plenty of space for those looking for peace and quiet. We enjoyed fishing off of the dock in back of the house, and caught many different species of fish. We rented paddle boards from the rental place nearby and explored the sound, and also had fun renting a jet ski one afternoon. The media room was great for late night movies or video games, and several of our crew enjoyed playing pool in the evenings as well. We purchased a beach access pass for our car and would load up the car and drive just a few minutes each morning directly onto the beach - this made taking little ones to the beach so much easier! Lastly, the sunsets viewed from the back deck at Harbormaster literally can't be beat! We hope to come back again soon to enjoy this lovely home.
