Nice location. Walking to the beach was like walking from a hotel room. Very close and easy. fenced in yard was a huge plus. Only bad part was no access to fenced in area without walking around to the back of the house. Other than that it was great! Host was available quickly if needed.

Perfect little spot close to the beach for our weekend stay. Very clean. Host promptly called us to address a mix-up in VRBO's automated check-in instructions. Really enjoyed staying in Salty Cabana and getting several beach walks in every day.

Great stay

Overall great experience. My only complaint is the house smelled like cigarettes, but you got used to it. The bed was comfy and the outdoor shower was lovely. Had everything you needed and close to restaurants and bars.

Cozy Beach Cottage

We loved our stay and we’re blown away by the friendliness and hospitality of Terra! She was so accommodating to help our trip go well! The cottage is clean and well-stocked, including beach items! Would definitely recommend and look forward to a return some day!

Cute home, great location!

This location alone really makes it worth the stay. Located on the south end of Kure Beach its a little quieter. Only took about three minutes to walk to the beach, a few minutes more to restaurants near by. The place was a quiet, cute little one bedroom. Everything you need for your stay! Would definitely come back and stay here again. Outdoor shower is a big plus!

Cute apartment with easy access & parking. Full kitchen. Nice, artful use of space in the bathroom, looks newly updated. Comfy bed. Nice neighborhood for walking. Short jaunt to the beach. Local seafood shop & restaurants. Short drive to Carolina Beach State Park & Good Hops Brewery - two of our favorite places to visit when we are in the area. Nice weekend getaway. No big issues. Wished an outdoor grill had been available to grill our fresh NC fish, minor detail.

My family and I loved Salty Cabana!!! It was so comfortable and felt like a home away from home. The check in process was simple and our host was very fast to respond to questions. The property was very clean and had everything we needed. The location was wonderful with a short walk to the beach, pier, arcade, and restaurants. We will definitely be rebooking!

Great walking area

We enjoyed our stay. It was so nice to walk to the beach, food & the pier! The cabana is definitely older, but also clean & cool. The hot water was great!! Having the outside shower was plus with 4 people. Only thing I wished for was a covered porch/patio area. Otherwise, it was a great stay!
