About this property
Salvo Sandbox: Ocean-Side, Dog-Friendly Cottage
Adorable “beach box” home located only 2 building lots from the incredible Salvo beach and close to Pamlico Sound. Sleeps eight with 2 bedrooms having queen beds, one having 2 twin beds and a Pirate-themed bunk bedroom for the little ones. Additionally there is a queen sleeper sofa in the Living Room for overflow sleeping. A beautiful, enclosed front porch offers additional year-round living space. Fun and cozy outdoor living with two large side decks and a wonderful ‘crows nest’ deck with a small strip of ocean view - perfect for enjoying those incredible Hatteras Island sunrises & sunsets! Large concrete private driveway and area beneath house with picnic table for additional outdoor entertainment. Lighted fish cleaning station with nearby hose.
Other amenities include: 2 Flat screen TVs with Rokus and Spectrum app with local channels, many general channels & 15 ‘cable’ channels including sport channels, HGTV, Discovery, etc, 500-mbps internet, stackable washer/dryer, park-style grill in yard, outdoor shower, and a well-equipped kitchen which includes a dishwasher, complete dish and knife sets, both Keurig & pot-style coffee makers, 2 blenders, toaster & hand mixer.
Non-smoking (inside house, on porches & decks). Smoking is allowed on concrete area beneath house where picnic table with ashtray is located.
Dog-friendly home for up to 2 dogs (additional $150/week pet fee applies). 330 sq foot dog run area accessible from side deck door without you going out in bad weather! Fence is wooden, cattle-style and 5 ft high…very sturdy. The fenced area is partly covered & partly uncovered for your dogs comfort in any weather.
Bedspreads, mattress covers, pillows (of various types and firmness), pillow covers and dish cloths ARE included. Bed sheets & bath towels are NOT included but they can be rented (supplier information will be provided by host upon booking).
Beach accessories such as chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and cruiser bikes are not included, but can be rented at many locations in the area. Host can provide nearby providers, if needed.
To protect my home, exterior cameras are in use on the 2 side decks and beneath the house, however the video will be disabled after a compliant check-in day unless owner receives report of a house rules violation (note that audio is always disabled). Even though check-in time is listed as 4:00, in reality the cleaners are normally done (and house available) by 1:00 or 2:00 (however it isn't guaranteed until 6:00 so I split it down the middle). They will post a note on door when it is ready. If you arrive earlier, you can change in the outdoor shower and go to the beach or sound until its ready.
Come enjoy Hatteras Islands’ incredible fishing, beaches & water sports, as well as Salvo’s beauty, serenity and incredible night skies at the Sandbox!

About the host
Hosted by Pam
I live in the DC-metropolitan area and spend as much time as I can at the Sandbox. It is my little piece of paradise. This isn’t a ‘rental house’ to me…it is my home a good portion of the year and my retirement gift to myself. I rent it during the prime season not to make a profit, but just to enable me to have it. I very much enjoy interacting with my guests and take great pride in the nice comments and reviews I receive.
Why they chose this property
The house is located close to both the ocean and the Salvo Day Use beach area on the Pamlico Sound, which is very convenient. The ocean beaches and dunes in Salvo are very natural and wide (which I love) but they may be difficult for youngsters & someone with mobility issues, so the Day Use area is perfect for them. Generally quiet neighborhood that has several restaurants and food stores nearby, yet not at all commercial. A huge fishing and watersports area. Very dog friendly home with 330 sq ft fenced area accessible without you going outside in the rain!
What makes this property unique
My favorite things about my house are the 3 decks (especially the crows nest which is amazing for morning coffee and starry night skies), the all-season front porch and the dogs fenced-area which makes life so much easier!
