Great OBX vacation!!!
Our family has stayed in Corolla the last few years and taken several day trips to the 4x4 area.
This year we decided to book a home in the 4x4 area. It’s an amazing Experience! Phenomenal location! Amazing views! Multiple visits from the wild horses grazing in the yard!
Marissa was great, responded quickly and remedied our only issue timely!
Wouldn’t hesitate to book with Marissa again.

Absolutely wonderful!!
The property was 100 percent as advertised. Kitchen was the best stocked we have ever stayed in. Home was spacious and beautiful. Host was responsive and helpful when we were stuck on the beach. Recommended a towing company that was fast, easy, and awesome people. Note: tire pressure is best at 12 to 14 pounds.Would recommend 100 percent!!

Summer vacation.
Everything was very nice. The pool and hottub was very clean and the house was exactly as described. Access to the beach was easy, just load you vehicle up and drive about a minute to your spot. We definitely recommend this property.

Horse of Course
The house is a bit weather beaten, as to be expected, only a dune separates it from the ocean. Owners did a great job with the beach decorations placed just right. Loved the view from the deck where we saw the horses across the street, in the yard and under the deck. Also seen dolphins jumping thru the waves. Loved the house and the locations. Also, owners were quick to respond.

Relaxation and Adventure
This rental was awesome! We had plenty of room for our group of 10. The rental property met all of our expectations, from the moment we hit the 4 wheel drive beach, to seeing the wild horses daily and catching enough fish while shore fishing to have a great fish fry the last day of our stay. Lightly Salted also had the best stocked kitchen of any VRBO that we have rented. It had everything that we needed! We would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND Lightly Salted as a unique, comfortable and peaceful place to stay!

Oasis on the Shore
Lightly Salted is a great house in a great location that gave us the solitude on the coast we were seeking. The house provided unobstructed views up and down the beach with the roar of the surf loud and clear on the decks. We were looking to avoid large crowds of beach goers, and the beach was mostly ours alone when we ventured out looking for shells and shore birds. The sun rises on the last few days were spectacular!
The owners installed a brand new refrigerator with icemaker for the kitchen on the day of arrival. The unit was clean, and we have no complaints with any of the other appliances or furniture. The owners were very responsive and even helped me get our Jeep unstuck from sand during our worst weather day (without us asking)!
Overall an outstanding experience, and we look forward to returning for our next Outer Banks vacation.

Wild Horse Dream
Great property, salty air is definitely hard on a home, but the owner has done a nice job of making it feel like home. Decor was lovely and well thought out. I feel that some people who have previously rented the property have not treated it with care. That’s a shame that people don’t take care of someone’s rental home as they would their own. The pool is nice, the hot tub is good but needs a new cover. All in all we were happy. Would rent again.

Perfect Location!
Our host was accommodative and was always easy to get ahold of. The house was awesome and big enough for our family and friends. We enjoyed the drive on the beach to get there and the amazing views. The pool and hot tub were a must for our kids and they enjoyed it. The horses came up to the house a few times and were usually in sight all week
. The only negative thing to say was the sleep number beds were uncomfortable but that’s a personal preference. We had the best time at Lightly Salted and made many good memories.

Loved the location
Loved the remoteness, beach access, pool.
Beautiful views. Perfect weather
Horses came for a visit once and stayed around the house for quite a while.
Kitchen well stocked
Ice maker was broken, but host refunded cost of buying bags
Only downside to trip was highway 12 traffic- plan to come and go with consideration to avoid peak travel times. Would be the only reason why would not visit again during the summer season

Adventure - not for everyone
Loved the remoteness of the property, the horses, the beach was beautiful, but not prepared for what was required to travel on the beach without a lot of anxiety. Getting to the beach through the sand requires being in pretty good shape and agile. First impression of the house when we arrived was disappointing, but it grew on us. It's a lot of money to rent to not have the basic amenities provided or be in better shape.

Family Vacation!
Wow! What a week! This was our first time to OBX, so we wanted it be as perfect as possible! This house was absolutely everything we could have wished for and more. We had plenty of room, the kitchen was fully stocked to meet all of our needs, beds were comfy, pool felt amazing. I have zero complaints! Marissa was so good at getting back with me quickly, even over my silly questions. Watching the sunrise from the top deck was breathtaking & the wild horses visited in the mornings and most evenings. The walk to the beach was very short and beautiful as well.
The adventure getting to the house was fun & definitely a memory we won’t forget. If this is your first time driving on a 4X4 beach like it was for us, do not get discouraged, believe me-see it though it’s 100% worth it! We’ll be back to Lightly Salted soon!! Thank you for sharing your house with my family to make a million memories!

First OBX trip
This was our families 1st trip to OBX and this house was great. The adventure getting their was an awesome experience. The horses were near the house daily we even got to see some babies. Down sides were the pool lighs did not work, there was no umbrellas for the tables that were on the deck and in the pool area. The cleaning company could do a better job.
Making memories was what this trip was about and we were able to do that with the perfect weather we had all week. We got to experience a thunderstorm at the beach as well on the last night of our stay seeing the sky and ocean change quickly was neat to see.

Overall Good Vacation
Overall, our family enjoyed our vacation. This was our first time in Corolla and we really loved the seclusion of the 4x4 beach, seeing the horses, and the close proximity to the ocean.
Pros: -plenty of space, pool/hot tub, screens porch, large dining table, 3rd floor views. Marissa was very responsive to messages. Upon arrival, there was an issue with the air conditioning. She promptly dispatched a service company and fixed the problem immediately. She was pleasant and prompt in her communication.
Cons: Housekeeping issues/TLC needed. The house was not disgustingly dirty but all of the blinds, ceiling fans, and higher windows had a thick layer of dust and we found food stuck to the dining chairs and table. The house needs a deep clean. Small details matter. Again, I understand having renters is very hard on a home. Being oceanfront also adds so much wear and tear to a home. However, when you are paying a premium rate for a premium location, I expect small details are attended to. TLC items - Ripped cushions outdoor seating, pilled/stained bed linens, pool area light not working, and missing fixtures. Overall cosmetic TLC is needed throughout the home. Again, none of these individually are deal breakers but added up start to impact your stay. I think many of the issues were a result of insufficient housekeeping and the owner not being appropriately informed by housekeeping/property manager of things needing attention. A few fixes would make this a 5 star home.

My stay
You have a lovely home but whomever cleans it does not do a very good job.
It would be nice if the windows with the view were clean to take advantage of the view.

Slice Of Heaven
This place is very nice. I have been staying at the 4X4 beaches for years and I can say that this house was great. It has a loaded kitchen with more than you would possibly need.
Beds are very comfortable and easily adjusted to your liking.
The water does smell like sulfur but that is something you can expect from most houses on the 4x4 beaches so bring water for drinking and coffee, ex...
The view in amazing and the horses are a daily visitor near and sometimes under the house.
The homeowner was very accommodating to any and all needs, within minutes.

Perfect location!
We truly enjoyed our stay. The pool and hot tub where very nice when there was a beach advisory for the last few days. The wild horses visited and slept in the backyard overnight, that was a special treat! Overall the house is in need of a few repairs, deep cleaning and new living room furniture.

Family trip
This house has the perfect location and size to be an amazing. Unfortunately, from the moment we arrived, there were issues with furniture, ants, dirty dishes and cabinets, also air ducts. The showers didn’t drain so I emailed and they sent someone within the hour. A day later we went to do laundry and there was so much mold in the washer. The smell was awful so we attempted to clean it for over an hour and sent an email to have it fixed. A guy came and said there was nothing he could do except replace it; howver, that never happened. My son is allergic to mold so we tried to further clean it and the washer broke, leaving water and lint all over the floor. We got no one for that and no response. Also for those that have children, be careful of the deck, there are splinters and the gates are partially broken. We still had an amazing week but wouldn’t stay here again for the price. It needs a top to bottom cleaning and repaired.

watch the horses while sipping morning coffee
The location of the house was perfect. You can watch the sunrise and the dolphins swimming from the balcony. The five horses came to the house just about every morning and one evening. They literally walked up to the house as the photos showed. We were very glad that the house had a swimming pool as the ocean was very cold, even in early August.
The house was clean. Checkin was easy. Marissa responded to all messages quickly. The mattresses were comfy. The kitchen was well stocked. But you do need to bring your own sponges, dish towels, detergent and trash bags.
We all drove Subaru AWD's and did not have trouble driving in the sand, after deflating the tires to 20 psi.
The reasons for 4 stars and not 5:
1. the living room couch was very worn out and had serious rips.
2. the outdoor lights by the pool and the hot tub were disconnected so that we could not enjoy either after sunset.
3. the stereo to the pool was unplugged and while it could reach the outlet in the hall bath, the outlet had devices connected to them and with a label to not disconnect them.
4. as part of the check out process, the host required that the dishwasher be emptied. Other rental properties we used in the past only required that we run the dishwasher. Given that the dishwasher took 2 hours to run, it did not allow time for a full breakfast before 10am checkout.
