About this property

LOCALS SUMMER!! INDOOR & Outdoor Pool, OCEANSIDE. Best time for beach is in FALL

Walk down to the beach for the perfect sunrise. Discover amazing sand dollars and sharks teeth at low tide. Take a nap on the covered porch with the hibiscus, salt air and ocean breeze. Take a dip in any one of the 4 pools, and then take a stroll on the Carolina Beach boardwalks for night time fireworks, live music and people watching! Our condo is boho meets beach meets California Casual. It is sparkling clean and we are laser focused on the guest experience, making available to you everything you need to make the perfect beach memories.
Coastal vibes on the quiet South end of Pleasure Island - but just a short ride away to all the action. Ride bikes to Fort Fisher State Park and explore all the maritime wildlife. Watch seaturtles hatch in our protected dunes, and take in history at the heratige battle sites of the Civil War and WWII.
An amazing coastal gem that cannot be missed!

4 sets of families stayed a different ocean dunes properties so it was nice that we were all in a relatively walkable distance. The distance to the beach, outdoor pool(s), and fort fisher was nice. As well as the covered parking spot and small place to be able to put jeep doors and top.There is a tide pool right near the access which is great though it does mean you have to watch out for rocks and sometimes harsher waves. The layout and style of the house was great and I definitely got my steps in (there is an elevator) Would stay again for sure!

Our family spent the week exploring Kure Beach and the surrounding areas. We found the rental to be super clean and well equipped with everything we needed. We opted to go to the Fort Fisher beach and took a day trip across the ferry over to Southport. We spent time shopping in Wilmington and back and forth to Carolina Beach for donuts and ice cream! We loved the pool access, perfect way to cool off and spend time close to the rental between all the other activities we got up to. We found the rental to be a perfect landing point and launch pad for our vacation. We had the best time and look forward to returning in the future.

Awesome place to stay

My family and I had a great time. The condo was clean, nice and large enough that my family wasn't constantly in each others way. The owner left a welcome basket which I thought was so sweet. The unit has an elevator that awesome especially when we went to the grocery store and didnt have to carry everything up flights of stairs. The beach is just a hop, skip and jump away so you do not miss anything. The pool was great. I would highly recommend this place to others.

Our week at Salt&Flora

We enjoyed our stay at Salt&Flora! The condo is adorable! As my daughter said, boho meets beach meets cottage is the vibe she got! The condo is 2 streets back from the public beach access and is in a very quiet neighborhood! Very close drive to the aquarium, Carolina beach boardwalk and Fort Fisher. Fort Fisher beach was amazing! Free parking and clean bathroom access! Rita and family left a very nice welcome basket for us! Rita is very responsive to questions and quick to help find an answer! It felt very like she was sharing her family home with us and was genuinely invested in us having the best vacation!

Great location beautiful condo

We loved everything about the place except the broken elevator, unit is on the third floor, and broken sliding door. The door issue meant we could not use the large outdoor covered deck. The owner informed us of these issues and I asked for a partial refund but the owner refused.

Thanks Kelly. Our unit is on the 2nd floor, not 3rd, and the broken elevator was completely out of our control. The sliding glass door was just broken 2 hours before your arrival by another tenant and we graciously offered you a full refund to find another place, but you refused it. I’m glad you enjoyed the rest of your stay.

Cozy and Inviting

This condo was definitely described/pictured as is (with updates to the bathroom). It was easy to find and had a wonderful location. It was just steps from the beach but felt secluded within the trees. It was clean when I arrived. I never took advantage of the pool or other amenities but there were always people there so I'm sure it was up to par. Rita was easy to communicate with and very friendly and welcoming. The only "negative" thing I'll say is the elevator was out of service for the duration of my stay but that didn't factor into my rating as that stuff happens; it really only "affected" me on my arrival date and only because I'm a heavy packer. Haha! Rita was apologetic and I was completely understanding. I would stay here again with no hesitation! Thanks for a great stay!

Cute Condo, Owner is great

Very cute condo with boho vibes and comfy bed. Very short, easy walk to the beach. I gave it 5 stars because the owner was very responsive to some setbacks that occurred while we were there. The elevator was not working, but that was not her fault. However, that is one main reason we chose this condo so we were disappointed. There was a problem with both doors in the home. A repair person had to come while we were there to work on the sliding door that they were having to have fixed from the previous occupants. And the electronic key on the front door decided to break so we were locked out for over an hour after buying a car load of groceries. She quickly responded and a lock smith fixed the issue. Again, all of these issues were beyond her control, so I do not fault her for them. One very small thing...there were only 5 forks in the kitchen drawer, which was kind of out of the ordinary. We had to buy plastic forks so we didn't have to wash them constantly. But, the kitchen had about everything else we needed, except for a toaster. I liked that we could park under cover under the building. And we rode bikes to Fort Fisher State Park, which is minutes away. The kids liked all the rocks to climb on. Overall, our family enjoyed our vacay very much.

Response from VrboOwner on 8 Aug, 2024
Thanks for the review Amanda. One of the problems we have had is being ocean side it’s super hard to keep electronic locks because of the salt and corrosion being so close to the ocean. But yes, we were happy to have responded immediately to all of your requests as it is our privilege to make sure every guest has an amazing experience when at our home. We aren’t a big rental company, we are a family; and had we known about the forks and toaster we would have brought you those too. We were super dissapointed you never mailed our key back when you took it with you, and we found our cooler we lent you totally trashed with broken glass in it, pickle juice and trash far away from the condo. So please try to be more respectful of items given to you and with keys when renting in the future as we had to change the locks again to make them secure.

About the host

Hosted by Rita Hertzog

Host profile image
Greetings! We are Phil and Rita, and we're excited to share our love for Wilmington, NC, with you. Our family is passionate about the beauty of the beach, the maritime forest, and the natural wonders of this area. Kure Beach, in particular, holds a special place in our hearts, with its rich history and stunning landscapes. When we think of our "happy place," we immediately picture Salt & Flora. It's a truly magical location, and we're thrilled to be able to share it with your family. We can't wait for you to experience the same joy and sense of wonder that we feel every time we visit.

Why they chose this property

Experience resort-style living at Ocean Dunes, a stunning property nestled between the breathtaking Atlantic Ocean and the protected maritime forest of the southern Atlantic coast. Enjoy the salty ocean air and the lush flora from your private balcony or take a short stroll to the semi-private beach, where you can witness marine sea life in its natural habitat. The property boasts three outdoor pools (seasonal from April to November) with one at your doorstep, and rainy days are no problem with a next-door indoor pool for swimming any day of the year. Enjoy a men's and women's sauna, a hot tub, gym, pickleball court, basketball court, tennis court, and kids' playgrounds all year round! Start your day with a perfect sunrise over a cup of coffee and end it with a cocktail featuring the picturesque Carolina blue sky sunset at Fort Fisher. Explore the rich history of the Civil War, located within the historic property's walls of Fort Fisher, or bike to nearby Fort Fisher State Park and the Fort Fisher Aquarium. Pleasure Island offers world-class restaurants, family activities such as the Kure Bach Pier, Carolina Beach rides, shops, and boardwalk, and outdoor adventures like fishing, boating, hiking, and biking. Quieter beaches with amazing tide pools are perfect for small children, and if you are lucky, you may even spot a sea turtle hatching and the great migration to the sea. One of the world's most finest natural spectacles!!! Please be respectul of the nautral habitat of the turtles and remain clear of the sand dunes. The vibrant city of Wilmington, a cultural hub packed with live music, theatre, history, museums along with surfing, fishing, and breweries, is only 20 minutes away. With so many amazing activities and natural wonders, Ocean Dunes is the perfect destination for a memorable vacation.
