The house was spacious,clean with beautiful views. We enjoyed sitting outside under the covered
patio on 2nd floor. Lovely breeze . We had some difficulty and view.
Sweet Sands was the perfect home for our 40th Anniversary Celebration. The location, house layout and pool gave us plenty of space and options for sleeping/playing for 6 adults and 6 children!
We are 4 families numbering 10 in all. This house gave us plenty of sleeping spaces and gathering areas. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. We loved the large dining table which sat 10 very comfortably.
Internet and cell phone service worked fine with our numerous devices.
We couldn't find the house information book, so we called the owner with a few questions. Elba was gracious and answered all our queries.
The elevator was easy to operate and made moving in and out so much easier given the 3 levels.
This house is well maintained and we highly recommend it if you are planning a trip to the Outer Banks.

Enjoyed staying at Sweet Sands
This was our first OBX visit & we had a great trip. We had several families there with kids ranging 0 to 9 years. Sweet Sands was everything it claims to be and looked just like the pictures. Clean. Beautifully decorated - mostly seafoam & sand with a tasteful ocean motif. Spacious. Kitchen had what we needed. Plenty of places to sit for meals or watching movies. Walk to the water is about 5 minutes and it's one of the closest houses to the beach; there's a boardwalk with stairs and a sand path over the dunes (for carts maybe? Looked difficult uphill). Elba the property contact was always responsive & friendly and Shore Details (handles housekeeping etc) addressed a minor issue quickly. Couple heads up to parents of young kids - take care with the hot water as it can get really hot. Also watch very little kids on the three porches/ decks as there are places they can climb the railings. Overall - I'd go back in a heartbeat.
We love Salvo and have been staying there for years but always on the soundfront. This is a nice home as close to the beach as you can be without actually being on the oceanfront and we loved the easy access to the ocean. The interior is comfortable and the decks are nice for catching the breeze and enjoying a view of the ocean and (indirectly) the sunset on the sound. The pool is small but nice and our young ones loved it. The first floor bedrooms stayed a bit warm but there was plenty of room for my brother and his family there. Having the second kitchen was convenient. The third floor king and queen masters were very nice and accommodated my daughter and her family well. The configuration of the "double double beds" was not ideal for the rest of the family (prefer queen beds), but it was workable and we didn't spend much time in the bedrooms anyway. I realize it's late in the season but many of the lamps had no light bulbs so it was a little dark for working a puzzle or reading at night unless you were in the main living room. The kitchen was large and well-equipped and the dining room table easily accommodated the nine of us. The homeowner was wonderful to work with. I was excited about a 3pm check-in but the cleaners were there when we arrived and we weren't actually able to check in until 4. I'd double-check this in the future. Sweet Sands is a nice property in a great location. We had a very pleasant week and hope to return.
This house was a perfect layout for our family with plenty of rooms and bathrooms to accommodate (and exceed) our needs. The full kitchen on the first floor was a bonus. The second floor kitchen was a great design for several people in the kitchen at once and it was so well-equipped that we wanted for nothing when it came to cooking all sorts of food. The top floor was its own private suite. The entire house was tastefully decorated and beautiful! We loved the decks and porches and the deck furniture provided - especially the rocking chairs, where we had our morning coffee as the sun rose over the ocean. Not a day went by when we did not use the pool and hot tub. Perhaps the best feature of the house is its location - a short walk to the ocean for our beach time or to the sound to enjoy the gorgeous sunsets. The host was easily accessible and responded to all of our questions and requests.
We have stayed in this house previously and it did not disappoint! The house is roomy enough for our large family and such a perfect location- with the beach, sound, and quiet area.
The place is suitable. The 20 stray cats in the bushes adjacent to the house are vile.
Elba Morgan, property rep, is great to communicate with, very helpful
I can’t say enough about the space in the home! It’s a perfect setting for a large number of family and friends. The neighborhood is very quiet and friendly!
This home is well designed for a large crowd; plenty of areas for gathering. Kitchen was well equipped and eating areas were great. Getting to the beach access (through the bushes) wasn’t bad;l, then we had access to a fantastic boardwalk. We would stay at Sweet Sands again!!!
Great home to accommodate large family gathering. We are return customers! Area is a quick walk to the beach--only negative is the amount of feral cats on the pathway--they do get into the trash cans!
Wonderful location with easy access to the beach. Nicely furnished, but the star was the kitchen which was amazingly outfitted with any type of pan or food prep items a gourmet could want.

Very nice rental
The location was close to an awesome boardwalk over the sand dune. The main kitchen is on the 2nd floor - we loved it - so much more convenient. We would definitely rent it again.
This was our first time visiting Salvo and were so fortunate to find this home. It was perfect for our family. It was enough space for multiple families, especially with the two kitchens. This was also the first time I rented a home that the kitchen was fully supplied with everything we needed. The property manager answered all my questions I had before our trip. And the beach was a short walk away. We are already looking to book to come back to this home next year.
My family and I had an amazing time at this home. The home is beautiful and decorated very well. The house is perfect, and designed down to every detail. However, we did not find the home in very clean when we got there. There was sand inside the hot tub and pool, hair in the shower, and a couple dead bugs right on the ground. This is not the most pleasing sight when you enter a home (especially during covid times).
The house is very close to the beach, maybe a 5-10 minute walk depending on how fast you are walking. The hot tub and pool are very nice, smaller side but we had a great time.
The area of Salvo is nice! Lots of big houses and seems like a newer area of OBX. It is very far from all grocery stores and restaurants. There is a nice ice cream shop pretty close and a dollar general that had a lot of supplies we needed. Make sure to go grocery shopping before you get to the house. Also bring toilet paper and soap, none of that is provided. We didn't know until we got there and had to turn back.
Our 4 families' family had a wonderful time at Sweet Sands in Salvo! Plenty of room for our 16 members from grandparents to our grown kids to our grandkids.
The beautiful ocean beach was a short straight walk away. It's two houses from the beach and has ocean views from both the 2nd and 3rd floors!
Well set-up main kitchen with 2 tables to accomodate all the family at once.
We loved it!
The Millers and family
House was beautiful. Kind of a hike to the beach but thank God for the boardwalk. Wish we could move the house to a different area. Not much to at night

Excellent!
We had a great stay at this house! Everything we needed was there at the house. The house was very spacious and it gave us all our own space without feeling cramped at all. There was also great parking! We had a truck with a 27ft boat that we brought down with us that we were a little worried about as far as parking but it worked out great! We also had several other vehicles there and still had plenty of space to fit more if needed. The home was very clean and linens and towels being provided made things much easier. The pool was a little smaller than expected but it suited us just fine. The hot tub was great! The elevator made taking things up to the second and third floors a breeze. I would highly recommend this house to a larger group of people as the space is well worth it. Great house all around!!
This is an amazing beach house that slept 14 easy for our reunion. Large enough that everyone has their own space. Perfectly decorated and clean. Beautiful views of ocean and stars! Towels and sheets provided and fully equipped kitchen. We will be back! Thank you!
We go every year to Sweet Sands! This is where we dance, relax, feast, laugh & enjoy morning exercises. Short walk to beach or sound-side nature preserve makes it perfect!
Another great vacation at Sweet Sands! The kids enjoyed the pool and the close proximity to the beach. The house was clean and the kitchen well-stocked for preparing meals.
