The property is very comfortable and convenient to pool and beach with children. Very clean and so quaint. The pool is great but had a few little places where the concrete was a little rough around the drain. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this cottage.

My family and I stayed at this property and really enjoyed ourselves. I think our favorite parts of our stay were the screened in porch and the hassle free walk to the beach. Unfortunately one of our days got rained out but we felt safe and comfortable inside of the house.

My family of 5 chose a 2BR cottage on the second floor at Saltaire Cottages. We absolutely loved it; direct access to the beach, literal 10 more steps than the “ocean front” houses. Community pool was the perfect temperature and so clean. Property staff were onsite daily, but not too early or too late as to cause a disturbance. Laundry facilities onsite were a big plus so that we didn’t have to take pounds of sand home from the beach with us. Will recommend to our friends and family, and we would stay here again if we come back to OBX! Awesome little Gem, so glad we stayed!

We had an amazing time at Saltaire. Everything was clean and well maintained. It was very convenient to have beach access right across the street and it was never crowded.

Our stay was for a family vacation. Not being overly familiar with the area, this seemed like a good choice at a reasonable rate. The location was very good and the beach is a short walk across the road. There is a private entry to the beach that is not a very steep climb compared to some. The beach itself was very nice and not very crowded. The building is older and converted from a motel type setup into larger "cottages." While the building was older and could use some additional curb appeal, the inside of our rental was decently updated and very clean. The beds were comfortable and overall very spacious accommodations. With five people it was nice to have two bathrooms. Appreciated a complete kitchen with full sized refrigerator and Keurig. We were on the second floor so we did have to contend with a decent amount of steps. One immediate problem was the fact that we could not get in because the lock had issues. It took about 45 minutes to figure this out. Although there is something called an office, it is not like a hotel office that is regularly staffed. The lock glitched a few more times but we had a physical key by that time. Only other problem was the main bedroom TV did not work. These things should be checked prior to arrival. The guest is also responsible for moving garbage to the cans behind a garage. Not a huge deal but it is a pain on the last day when trying to get ready for departure. Overall, a pleasant place to stay and would do so again.

Saltaire Cottages was a great place to stay for a few days. It was cleaned and had what we needed for those few days. When you drive up it seems to be a little outdated. The inside of our cottage had been redone and it was fine. The location is great, right across the street with their own beach access. The beaches were not so crowded on any day that you felt like you were right on top of each other.

Amanda was great! The pool is large and nice and the beach is right across the street, which is a plus. The property was very clean. However, the property is very dated, there is extremely limited storage for longer stays, the counter space in the kitchen is very small, which makes it hard to prepare meals. The layout in our rooms was very awkward, you had to go from one bedroom room to the other to get to and from bedrooms, bathrooms, and the main living area, or exit and enter from the outside doors. There is the distinct possibility that you could inadvertently get locked out of the back bedroom is you aren't paying attention.

This property was a last minute find and we could not have been happier with the experience from start to finish. The convenience of booking and while we were there from the staff was excellent! Right on the water with a great view, the made everyone as comfortable as we could have wanted and more. Thank you, we are always sorry when we have to leave.

Excellent location and roomy rooms!

This was our first time at this particular establishment, and we loved it! I am very partial to the "old-fashioned" motor courts, so I take into consideration that they are not shiny and new on the outside, but the renovations inside are beautiful and our 2-bedroom was very roomy. We had a balcony with an ocean view and it was so nice to be able to sit outside and the beach access is right across the street. There is a restaurant right next door, which is super convenient. I needed to reach out to Amanda a few times (general questions, nothing urgent) and she was quick to respond, helpful, and very friendly. I also met Pam who helps out and she was also super friendly!
*The only thing I will note is that since it is right on the beach road, it can be a little noisy. Obviously, this has nothing to do with the cottage management, but is worth mentioning. This only affected me when I wanted to sit outside on the balcony and relax. It was not noticed while inside.*
To sum up my review, I loved the whole vibe of the place and we WILL be returning!

The property was extremely clean. It's probably one of the cleanest places I have ever stayed - so kudos to the housekeeping staff. Two of the three beds were comfortable. One of the queen mattresses needs to be replaced. Overall, the property is typical of the area. I can't imagine staying there for a week, but it served our purposes well for a weekend before the season starts. One note that I must have missed - the property is next door to a bar and restaurant. The live music (which was good) was loud. If you have small children, I could see that being a potential problem. There were also people right outside the windows fairly late into the evenings. Never felt unsafe or anything - it's just in very close proximity.

Saltaire Cottages provide privacy with the advantages of a pool with great decks, barbecue, picnic tables, and beautifully maintained grounds all right across the street from the ocean. The contactless check-in process is so easy and communication was excellent. Our cottage was clean with all of home’s comfort and a very nice supply of necessary items as a welcome gift. We asked that something be adjusted and it was taken care of almost immediately. Mike and Austin were on site and always helpful and accommodating. Relaxing, but close to all the fun. This was our first trip to OBX but definitely not our last, and we will absolutely return to Saltaire.

A GEM.

Great experience. Located directly across from ocean access on a relatively uncrowded beach. Next door to the best burgers on the beach at Art's Place, and a couple doors down from a fancier restaurant/martini bar. I stayed in a 2BR. Main entrance was off of large private screened in porch with table and chairs. Main entrance led to kitchen/dining/living room with a couch, chair, table and chairs, full kitchen, and tv with satellite. Through that was a bedroom with two doubles, and another tv with satellite, with its own full bathroom (shower only, no tub, but that was fine for me). Past that was the "master" bedroom with a queen bed and another full bathroom (and another TV with satellite). In courtyard there is a nice pool with lots of seating, and two raised decks from which you can enjoy happy hour or a meal and get a nice view of the ocean. Shared charcoal grill is also provided. Place was clean and quiet, staff was friendly, location and amenities were great. I'd stay again.

Very comfortable and clean interior. Good location. It was a little different the way check in and out is done but did make it quick. Only bad comment I could make would be the parking. Had another guest that must’ve been staying above us that parked their vehicle where it almost blocked us from getting into our cottage. Had to walk sideways by the vehicle to get by it. I would suggest no parking beside the cottages. There was ample amount of spaces in other locations around the property. Other than that it was a great stay.

Clean, cozy cottages. Mike Rocks!!

We stayed here while visiting the Wright Brothers museum. The cottages were very clean and cozy. The site manager, Mike, was FANTASTIC! I really appreciate his help and guidance on things to do locally. There are lots of places to stay in this area but the ease of check-in/out, cleanliness and coziness of the cottages, access to the beach, Arts Place (awesome lil restaurant next door), and Mike will bring us back in the future! Thanks Saltaire Cottages!

Great for families!

Amazing place for our family of 6. Very short walk to the beach, just across the road, which we took every day. Beautiful beach, not over crowded. Property has pool which looked nice but we didn't use as we were in love with the ocean.
