About this property

Salty SolMate | Hot Tub, Steps to Sound & Sunsets

  • Summary:

    Salty SolMate is a soundside retreat in Kill Devil Hills built for the guests who want more than just a beach house. Steps to Bay Drive sunsets, hot tub, swing beds, hammock, outdoor bar — and in September and October, this is one of the best-kept secrets on the OBX.



    ✔ Hot Tub & Outdoor Bar

    ✔ Steps to Bay Drive Sunsets

    ✔ Free Beach Parking — Hayman Beach

    ✔ 5-Min Walk to Hayman Park

    ✔ 10-Min Walk to Front Porch Cafe

    ✔ Fully Stocked Kitchen

    ✔ Managed by Salt Coast by Sojourn



    The Space:

    Salty SolMate is the kind of house that surprises you. Guests tell us the pictures don't do it justice — and they're right. Inside and out, every detail has been thought through: memory foam mattresses, Frette towels, Lather soaps, a kitchen stocked for real cooking, complimentary water, and treats on arrival, and an outdoor space designed for lingering long after dinner.



    The lower carport area is the social hub. Hot tub, outdoor bar, two swing beds, hammock swings, and an outdoor shower. Take a left out of the driveway, and you're two minutes to the Bay Drive gazebo — one of the best sunset walks on the OBX. Take a right, and Hayman Park is one quiet block away. Free beach parking at Hayman Beach is straight across the stop sign at the end of the street - pack the beach gear and go!



    September and October are genuinely special here. The crowds thin out, the temperatures drop just enough to make the hot tub feel like a destination, and the sunsets on Bay Drive get longer and more dramatic. Even on rainy days — and OBX always has at least one — the covered ground-level carport area keeps everyone entertained. Guests have set up corn hole, kept the kids busy, and stayed completely dry without missing a beat.



    What our guests say:



    "We absolutely loved our stay at Sojourn’s! The house was beautiful and super clean. The kitchen was well stocked. We were provided with complimentary water and candies. The beds and bedding were extremely comfortable! The house is in a quiet neighborhood right off the main road, super convenient for all your travel plans on the islands. And lastly, LeAnne, the host, has been super responsive and helpful, lightning fast! We would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to stay on OBX." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Aibek



    "Great stay, everything exceeded expectations. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the OBX area". ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Oscar



    "Very clean house. The outdoor shower was convenient. The host provided toiletries. They also gave us stuff for the beach, like a wagon, chairs, and boogie boards. There were many spices and cooking supplies. The lollipops for kids were a nice touch. The family loved it." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Anike



    "This house was such a treat to stay at. We had two couples and two teens in our crew. So much room, gorgeous accommodations, many places to sit, relax, chat, play games, and a short walk to the sound for gorgeous sunsets. Communication with our hosts was top-notch. We couldn’t recommend this home more!" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Sara

    Turn left out of the driveway — 2 minutes to the Bay Drive bayfront gazebo and flex path, where the soundside sunsets are stunning, especially in September and October when the light turns golden, and the crowds are long gone.



    Turn right — Hayman Park is one block down, no busy roads to cross. Continue to the stop sign at the end of Hayman Boulevard, go straight, and you're at free parking for Hayman Beach.

Beautiful, comfortable home

Home has all you need! I so appreciated the kitchen being stocked with all amenities, even a ninja! The beds were super comfortable, layout of home was great, and outside areas had plenty of room for relaxation and meals! Sunsets were a quick stroll and as Mother Nature would provide, gorgeous. You’ll have to drive to the beach though; there is no close crosswalk to cross four lanes of traffic, but the house location to sunsets makes it worth a two minute drive to the beach.

Outer Banks Beauty!

This was our first trip to the Outer Banks and our first vacation with our kids and their partners. This Vrbo house was perfect! It housed all of us comfortably! It was beautiful with lovely furnishings, comfortable beds and a large, open floor plan. We all fit in the wonderful kitchen and moved easily from the dining area to the living room. Just a short walk to a pier at the end of the street with a view of gorgeous sunsets! The location of the house was ideal, as it was very easy for us to travel to different locations. Just across the main road was a beach! The hosts were fantastic and responded quickly to our questions.

Gorgeous, relaxing home near the beach!

This property is stunning and very well maintained. Stylish and modern comfy. You can tell the owners have experience in hospitality with their attention detail. Very clean and organized. Beds and pillows were sooo comfy! We had a good night sleep each night! Loved the little lounge area under the deck. The couch swings were fabulous! Near the touristy area with plenty near by. Nice quiet neighborhood 5m from the beach. The owners were accommodating and responsive! Would definitely stay here again. Its worth it!

Dream Vacation

This house was so inviting and relaxing. I’m we had 7 people in our party, and the house was big enough for us to gather together as well as give everyone their own space. It was so beautiful and clean inside. The beds were so comfortable-everyone had a hard time getting up in the morning. We loved using the hot tub at night and the swings were perfect for lazy day reading or napping. The hosts really thought of everything. Thank you for helping us achieve our dream family vacation!

Great place to stay

Overall everything was great! Beautiful place, very clean and well stocked. Great assortment of amenities and nice location. We loved the quiet neighborhood and easy access to the bay and ocean. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate and we couldn’t do a lot of the things we had planned. My only complaint is what the total cost ended up being. When I was searching for a place to rent, this property seemed very reasonable for all it offered until all the extra costs got added which almost doubled the price. We were only able to stay 2 nights and all the additional fees made it kind of expensive. I would still highly recommend this place but would probably encourage people to stay longer than we did to get their money’s worth.
