Welcome to... your vacation! NEWLY-RENOVATED, MODERN GUEST COTTAGE AT THE BEACH
Hello!
We (Kyle and Erin—nice to e-meet you!) spent over a year of our lives creating this cottage, we are excited that you have chosen to stay here! The size is ideal for couples or small groups of friends. The vibe of the cottage is fresh, modern, beachy and minimal. We’re tucked away on a cul-de-sac amongst beautiful live oak trees, less than a mile from the beach and only a quick walk away from sound-front sunsets. We have lived here for many years now, and possess lots of insider knowledge that we have complied within this brochure, so you can easily access everything and can truly live like locals!

The origins of the Wild Colonial Spanish Mustangs date back nearly 500 years, making them the earliest settlers of the Outer Banks, and some of the earliest residents, second only to the local Native American tribes. While historical journals, documents and ship's logs hint to the wild horses' origin, it's hard to determine one specific set of events that led to their presence on the Outer Banks.

60 miles Lighthouse climbing operations will remain closed this season. Its 210-foot height makes it the tallest brick lighthouse structure in the United States and 2nd in the world. Since its base is almost at sea level, it is only the 15th highest light in the United States, the first 14 being built on higher ground. It was moved in 1999 due to the sea due to erosion of the shore. Make a day of it and hang out at the beach. If you make it to Buxton early be sure to try an Apple Ugly at Orange Blossoms Bakery & Cafe! They close at 11am and sometimes sell out quickly.

We ask that you please keep the cottage tidy as we strive to keep the cleaning fee low for all guests and future bookings. We do have hardwood floors and ask that you be mindful of wet towels/sand/etc. Let us know if you have any questions and we will do our best to help. Your opinions/suggestions matter to us and we’ve left a notebook in the living area for any thoughts you’d like to share.
We hope you enjoy your stay and look forward to seeing you again.
take local art home with you! Around the cottage you will see original digital art created by me (Erin)! All pieces are priced and available for purchase.
Salty Inks, my digital creations, are inspired by all of my favorite places on the Outer Banks. I've been visiting the OBX since I was a child, and some of my favorite memories are camping in Buxton, falling asleep to the sweeping light of the lighthouse, and waking up with anticipation of an Apple Ugly from the Orange Blossom Bakery in the heart of Hatteras. During my college years, I spent my summers working on the beach, and now I’ve been living on the beach full-time with my husband and children for 14 years. Still, I’m constantly invigorated by our ever-changing, ever-beautiful landscape and community. It’s my hope that through my digital prints, I’m able to capture some of that beauty and give you a tangible piece of our stunning scenery to carry with you. saltyinksobx.com
