Everything was clean and ready for check in. I would 100% stay at this place again. Quite neighborhood. Could walk over to the store. Perfect place for families
Had a great time in Corolla. When we arrived, the house was a little messy. Sheets were sandy, so we washed them. Management responded quickly to our concerns. Floors also sandy, but nothing a broom couldn't handle. All other amenities as noted . Wish they had salt and pepper and coffee filters. We left them for the next renter.
We loved the view and the proximity to the beach. Pool was very clean. Stores within walking distance.
Overall, a great experience.

Second stay this summer in this house. Clean, well located, decently equipped and furnished. Close by to nature walk, Corolla village and shopping/casual dining. I’m sure if we had asked the rental service would have brought over a corkscrew. Usual great vacation.

After 30+ years renting the same house we were pleased to discover a wonderful interior renovation. New beds, bedding, kitchen counters and cabinets, deck furniture and tv/cable connections. The welcome package included everything needed for the bathrooms and kitchen. And if we did need something, Beach Realty was same day responsive!! Another great vacation with the family.

The house was clean and was comfortable to relax when not enjoying the outdoors. The pool was refreshing after a long day in the sun and the hot tub was clean, well kept, and relaxing. The master bed was very comfortable and bathrooms were clean as well. The view was awesome and location provided privacy from most other homes. We hope to return one day.
We had a great experience staying at A Salty Piece of Land! The location of the house and neighborhood was perfect. It’s an easy walk to both the sand and to the Harris Teeter shopping center. The house itself was clean and well appointed. Our only complaint was that the furniture in the family room is very uncomfortable, seems clear that it’s quite old. The upstairs master has a great bathroom! The view from the upstairs deck was superb and we enjoyed watching the sunrise. We will definitely rebook in the future!

Very clean, beautiful home with amazing view. No need to walk to the beach for the sunrise when you can watch from the deck. Pool was a huge hit for the kids. AMAZING location, three houses to the beach and directly across the street from Harris Teeter and Duck Donuts! That made meal prep a breeze! Would recommend to families.

This is our second year in this home. I think what we enjoy most about this home is the ocean views. The ships watch room is a great place to spend time eating, playing card games during happy hour, or even reading. The decks outside offer beautiful water views and over looks A large field of vegetation and animals that are fun to watch in the mornings and evenings.

Loved our stay at a Salty Piece of Land. The view from the living room was absolutely stunning. Our ONLY complaint is that there was no beach equipment, at all! Travelling from NY it is difficult to pack an umbrella and chairs in addition to everything else. We left 2 chairs and 2 boogie boards. Hope they stay there!

This was our second stay at A Salty Piece of Land. The house works very well for our multy-family vacation. The pool is a wonderful spot to hang out anytime but especially after a long day at the beach. It is well equipped and clean. The only thing I would suggest is some new cushions for the couch. They are not very "cushiony" for the older bones in our party.Would rent again.

The beach house was fine with two exceptions. The on-off knob to lamp in the living room and to a lamp in one of the bedrooms was missing so the lamps could not be used. The TV operation was not straightforward and the TV package did not include sports channels like ESPN or the MLB baseball network.

My wife and I had a wonderful time in the OBX at A Salty Piece of Land. Everything was as described in the listing and we would be happy to stay there again. I would recommend a small fence to block some of the pool filter noise at the pool as it runs constantly. The pool is smaller than I anticipated, but was perfect for the two of us. The cleaning crew definitely needs to spend a little more care in cleaning as I didn't appreciate finding prior guests hairs in multiple spots in the master bath.

Nice house with great views. Pool area is very small but there were only 6 adults and 2 children in our group so it was ok. Grill was not fit for use but we did fine without it. The house was not spotlessly clean but also not dirty. About what you expect for a rental. The property is super close to the grocery store and other shops and most importantly, VERY close to the beach...a 2 minute walk at most. I would recommend this property if you're flexible in your expectations.

We were unable to make it to our rental until the OBX opened to tourists on Tuesday afternoon. I thought about cancelling the trip altogether, after being stranded in various hotels for three nights. I am so glad that I didn't. The rental, " A Salty Piece of Land" was immaculate, spacious, and provided an unforgettable vacation. The hot tub was an excellent ending to each day that we were able to spend on the beach. We were so pleased that we reserved an even larger property for next year. I would highly recommend this rental for a family memory filled vacation. We loved it !!!

Overall we enjoyed our stay at A Salty Piece of Land. The house was very clean when we arrived, and the unobstructed ocean views are beautiful! The kitchen needs to be updated and re-organized. The bathrooms could stand an overhaul as well. Also, we all agreed the beds are quite uncomfortable and need new matresses- especially the two queen beds. The screened in porch is a great way to enjoy outdoors in the evening without the bugs, but needs a sturdier table. Also, the pool is smaller than it appears in photos. Great distance from the beach but lots of steps over the dunes.
First, just to be clear. This is not an owner-managed rental. It is managed by a beach realty firm. Not that it’s a big deal, but wanted everyone to be clear.
Pros:
HVAC system kept up and house was comfortable, generally well maintained as they just replaced a lot of exterior railing and stairs, location is great, pool and hot tub well maintained, quality cookware and utensils.
Cons:
When they say (1) roll of toilet paper, they mean (1)…..not (1) per bathroom. Not a big deal since Harris Teeter is close, but so you’re aware. The screen porch door was badly damaged upon arrival and we reported it to the property management company. They never came out to repair, and the screen porch became a “bug trap” for the week. Basically useless. Cleaning crew could’ve been better….there was sand around the fridge, ceiling fans looked like they haven’t been dusted in over a year, and there was someone’s clothes left in the one bedroom. Sliding doors could use a little maintenance. An investment in some decent outdoor seating could go a long way.
Overall it’s a decent house and good location. But I’ve paid less for a better rentals at the beach.

We've stayed at Salty Piece of Land 8 times now. It’s always a pleasure to spend a week here.The location and views are unmatched by most places except those right on the beach. Easy walk to be the beach, which is not overrun the same way as other areas.The pool, although smaller than others in the area is welcoming experience after a day at the beach with a shaded area to enjoy for part of the day.We love the openness and the size of the rooms and bedrooms. The new hot tub is great as is the new refrigerator. There are adequate kitchen supplies for just about any meal prep situation.Although it’s close to paradise, there are three gripes that we have:The beds. The mattresses have not been replaced in quite a long time. I’m pretty sure the 3rd floor is 20+ years old. The two masters really should be replaced with king size. There is plenty of room, and the cost compared to queens is insignificant. This alone would prevent us from renting for more than one week. One of the twin beds should be replaced with a full. It might be fine for 12 and under, but it’s not quite sufficient for teens or adults.The bathroom vent fans. They’ve surpassed their usable life. The bearings are shot and when running, they sound like the idle of a diesel truck. It would be tough to take a shower and not wake someone who is sleeping.The icemaker. Yes it’s a new fridge, but it makes ice WAY TOO SLOW. Granted, it’s somewhat expected since it’s empty (and therefore warms up fast when you open the door) when we arrive. But even when it is full and cold, it barely adds to the ice bin over night. Our solution is to buy 30 pounds of ice. We put 20 lbs in the freezer and 10 lbs in the fridge when we do our initial shopping. One other option would be to bring ice trays since none are provided. I’d recommend 4 or 6 depending on your ice usage.Most li

We've rented the same house for over 30 years and three owners. The house has been kept up and is in a great location. We like the amenities(supplied linens/gift bag) and the pool and hot tub. Overall, an ideal house. We'll be back next year.
The property was nicely located with short walk to the beach. Pool was a little chilly for this time of year. Kitchen well equipped with lots of pots, pans, utensils. Beds could use an upgrade - both to king size and just new mattresses. Shopping super close and fresh seafood markets short distance away.
